Chapter 53

 

Muskaan blushed harder.

 

Muskaan – Rahul..

 

Rahul sighes.

 

Rahul – I am sorry Muskaan.

 

Muskaan was confused.

 

Muskaan – Sorry? What for?

Rahul – That I didn't realize this was love until recently.

 

Muskaan smiles.

 

Muskaan – It's not a big deal.

 

Rahul – It is, Muskaan. At least for me.

 

Muskaan makes Rahul sit on the bed.

 

Rahul You know Muskaan, I was always in love with you, right from Childhood, but I kept denying it.

 

Muskaan – Really?

 

Rahul – really! You remember the car accident of yours?

 

Muskaan gulped. That was one of the worst experiences in life.

 

Muskaan – Yeah.

 

Rahul – When your mother called, and told the news. I was devastated. You had no idea of the state I was in Muskaan. The doctors took you into the I.C.U, you were unconscious and badly hurt…

 

Rahul had tears in his eyes now. Muskaan looked at him, concerned.

 

Rahul - …The doctors told us that you were critical.I was stunned,paralyzed. If anything had happened to you that day…

 

Rahul just couldn't continue from there. Muskaan hugged him.

 

Muskaan – Lets not talk about that.

 

Rahul checked his watch.

 

Rahul – Its one o clock!!  I have to go.Gotta call Armaan.

 

Muskaan makes a sad face.

 

Muskaan – So soon?

Rahul laughs and plants a kiss on her forehead,

 

Rahul – I thought you wanted me to go?

 

Muskaan – Well, I did. But cant you stay?

Rahul smiled.

 

Rahul – Its getting late jaan. I will see you tomorrow at college.

 

Muskaan – Okay.

 

Rahul climbs down through the pipe Muskaan watches him go.

 

And soon after fifteen minutes Riddima was back.

 

Muskaan – Where were you?

 

 

Muskaan was suspicious.

 

Muskaan – What happened?

 

Riddima blushed harder.

 

Muskaan was even more suspicious.

 

Muskaan – What did you do?

 

Riddima- Armaan just…

 

Muskaan – Aage bhi toh bol…

 

Riddima – Who..

 

Muskaan – Kya……..

 

Riddima – Armaan kissed me.

 

Muskaan - What? Tell me everything now!
