Chapter 54
Back to India………
"Back to home" Fiza said closing eyes and smelling the air outside the airport appreciatively.
Armaan smiled at her. Their relationship had entered a new phase. Fiza acknowledged that they had feelings far beyond friendship- but to herself. She had to still confess it to Armaan
Which is going to take a lot of courage Fiza thought her stomach churning
But he didn't actually say I love you right
I will wait for him to do that Fiza thought smiling with relief. Fiza had forgotten that Armaan could read her thoughts.
Is that so Miss. Sharma, we will see Armaan thought.
Their eyes turned to Sanjana and Shaurya whoever happily chatting away. Sanju was clutching the mangalsuthra smiling dreamily.
"God knows what got into their heads…..agar Sanju ke dharjee ko iski banak bhi lagi na kheema bane denge in dhono ko….saath mein humein bhi" Fiza said shaking her head.
"You make it sound as if her grandfather is a Hitler" Armaan asked raising his eyebrows.
"Armaan, Sanju leads a dual life….one of a traditional bharitya nari at home and the cool chick of today that we know…….her family has no idea of this…….I guess her mom knows but other than that no one……the men of her family believe in keeping women under their thumbs…….they have no problem with getting educated and all…….but love and all that is a big no….I don't know what she was thinking…..or Shaurya for that matter" Fiza said her voice laced with worry.
"He is a good guy Fiza……I have known him for long…….I am not saying this because he is my cousin……more than that he is my friend…..I can trust him with my life or could….now I don't need to" Armaan said.
Fiza always noticed the slight regret that Armaan's voice held whenever he talked about his vampire life. She felt sorry for him but didn't think it was a big deal. After all he was more humane than many humans.
"I am just worried Armaan...this is not going to stay a secret for long" Fiza said
"We will deal with it when time comes...I have convinced Shaurya to keep it a secret until her course gets over...I will keep him attached to the promise" Armaan assured her squeezing her hand gently.
"I trust you" Fiza said smiling at him.
"Anything for that smile" Armaan whispered in her ears.
"Who is coming to get you Fiza?" Armaan asked.
"Karan……he must have most probably forgotten and must be racing through traffic right now" Fiza said shaking her head and smiling fondly at the thought of her brother.
A white BMW zoomed towards them Siddarth stepped with a dazzling smile.
"Hey there my darlings" he waved towards his sisters. Anky and Sur went forwards and hugged their big brother.
"Ah how much I will miss the peace I had at home" Siddarth said dramatically.
"Bhai" both the girls said in unison. Sid laughed.
"Want a lift anyone" he asked around.
"No thanks Sid we are fine" Fiza said smiling at him.
Chand wants to meet you two, don't hang around for long Sid relayed mentally to Armaan and Abhay, both of whom nodded.
Neel glanced doubtfully at the three of them before entering into the car that was sent for them.
"These three aren't normal I tell you Jeh….we need to keep a watch over them" Neel said to his brother.
"I will kill that Virain if he goes anywhere within ten feet of Nidha again" Jeh muttered angrily under his breath watching Virain and Virat who were apologizing to Nidha.
"Jeh focus…….we need to keep our pack together…..we can't afford our personal matters to get mixed with it" Neel said "Lets go" he said to the driver.
"Whatever" Jeh said looking at Nidha who gave him a long look. He still hadn't confessed his feelings.
Nikki arrived next to take Sanju , Fiza and Ayesha.
"Sorry girls…..I couldn't" Nikki froze mid sentence looking at the mangalsuthra resting proudly on Sanju's chest.
"What the heck happened" she asked looking from one to another of them.
"Nikki I guess we will do the explanation at home" Fiza said hurriedly.
"Yeah I guess so" Ayesha added. "Bye Abhay" she placed a swift kiss on his cheeks earning a raised eyebrow from Nikki.
"Nidha….coming" Nikki asked.
"No Nikki…..my mom is here" she pointed towards a Swift.
At Fiza's home……
"Sanju where you out of your mind" Nikki shouted as soon as the girls finished explaining.
"Nikki I am big girl ……I know what I did" Sanju said defensively.
"Yeah I can see that……here I am trying to put a distance between you and the guys….but you girls go running straight ibto their arms…..Ayesha whats up between you and the leech" Nikki asked sternly.
"Nikki tone down…..he is boyfriend…..correction my heart" Ayesha said.
"A guy without a heart is your heart…..Ayesha I know I am no one to boss over you…..I also know that I can't control destiny…..but I want you girls to be on your guard always……something really big is gonna happen….that may tear your lives apart if we are not careful" Nikki said.
"Nikki what are you getting to" Fiza asked frowning.
"Now that you know about supernaturals I might as well tell you…..I am a" Nikki started. But before she could complete Shabd zoomed into the room making the girls scream . Sanju fell off the bed.
"A witch and me and Anukalp are wizards" he stated while pulling Sanju up.
"Whoa! Vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks…..looks like whole Harry Potter is in town" Ayesha said looking incredulously at Nikki and Shabd.
"Here just got them" Shabd handed Nikki a box.
"Thanks Shabd…..see you tonight" Nikki smiled at him.
"Sure babes" he smiled at her before vanishing.
"Something brewing up here" Fiza asked recovering from the shock frowning at Nikki who smiled slyly.
"We are dating…..but that's not the thing" Nikki said opening the box.
It contained what looked like normal ladies accessories.
"These are charmed necklace, rings and bracelets…..this will keep your minds away from supernatural interference…and also guide me to you when needed……..it won't block physical contact though……please wear these girls…..this will give my mind some rest when you are with the guys" Nikki said handing the three of them one each.
Fiza toyed with her necklace thinking of Armaan.
It is not that easy to keep away from your love she thought.
