Hi everyone, thanks so much for the lovely comments. I'm posting Chapter 2. Please let me know what you think. Sorry for the delay but was caught up with my health and study related issues! š³
. . .
Chapter 2 :
She followed her (Mukti) out to greet the guests. To greet her friends. To greet 'The DID gang'. As soon as she approached them, the girls took Shakti in an unexpected bone-crashing hug. It had been ages since they met each other. Yes, ages. She was still hugging them, when a tear escaped her eye and also the eyes of the rest of them. It was now she was repenting of her action. How much had she missed them all! She couldn't stop cursing herself and 'him' for this. But now it was time. She had decided to set things right in order.
Shakti (pulling back): Hey guys! So kaise ho tum sab?
Kruti (coming ahead and speaking on behalf of everyone): Hum sab toh bahut ache hain, tu bata.
Shakti (mostly to herself): Zinda hun bas.
Shakti: I'm doing great as well guys.
Kruti, who had heard her reply before, smacked her for such words. But Shakti just took her into another long hug. She was extremely emotional right now. She had really missed all this fun and her friends. She couldn't believe she had not talked with them in so much time just because of 'him'. But now, after all these years, she understood that this was the right place for her to be at. The right people to be with. Not ignore. Her friends. They broke apart when they heard someone. (So, thinking yet another mystery? Don't worry I'll clear this one now only.)
Someone (angrily): *Ahem* *Ahem* Hum bhi hai yahaan.
Shakti looked down embarrassed. Everyone laughed at them.
Shakti (cutely): Common Jacksi maaf karde na mujhe. You know it was not on purpose. (Lol, I couldn't stop myself from using that name. :P)
Jack: Yay a *looking away*
Shakti: Fine, hota reh tu bas gussa. (to girls) Common guys, let's go there. *pointing towards another side and smiling widely from inside*
Jack: Arey arey. Aisa nahi hai. *pulling her into an hug*It's just that.. I missed you.
Shakti: Hm, pata tha mujhe. I missed you too Jacksi!!
He let her move back and he looked at her from head to toe.
Jack: Maan na padega Shaks. You look hot huh!!
Shakti (blushing and smiling): Thanks Jacksi. Waise you don't look that bad yourself.
Jack hit her lightly on her head while she dodged him, giggled and ran away, with him right at her heel. They played the chasing game running around their friends. After they finished and Jack finally got his hands on her they tarted laughing like mad. She was enjoying a lot. Now she was greeting the whole gang individually.
Mukti: So guys, preparations kaisi lagi?
Vandana: Really good Mukti. I must say jisne bhi kiya hai bahut acha kiya hai.
Mukti smiled.
Mukti: Sab Shaks ka kaam hai.
Vandana: Arey humaari Shaku toh hai hi itni multi-talented.
And they all laughed.
Now it was Shakti's turn to greet 'him'. Her heart was beating fast and her eyes reflected the pain she was feeling right now. She kept her lashes down for some time to avoid his gaze. She sighed inwardly and then looked up. With a genuine fake smile on her face, she addressed him.
Shakti: Hey Amarjeet. So, how are you?
Everyone went silent. They had never heard Shakti greet him by that name. He had always been her 'Kunwar' and no one ever dared to address him by that name. Oka, maybe it's been a long time, but haven't the two been talking even then? Maybe on phones, or video calls. Or maybe that was what they thought. Because the scene in front of their eyes told a different story altogether. Amar's whole body stiffened out of shock. He couldn't believe his ears. Shakti felt the sudden change so she turned her attention from him on the others and asked them confusion saturating her voice.
Shakti: Kya hua guys, ek dum se?
Jack: Kuch nahi woh bas.. Amarjeet??
Shakti, just shrugged and intelligently changed the topic.
Shakti: Acha guys listen, Neeti ko nahi pata chalna chahiye ki I'm here. So don't talk about me, oka?
Kruti being close to Shakti understood what she was trying to do and so she played along.
Kruti: Worry not when we are here.
Someone : And we too..
. . .
Well there it is. Please let me know what you think, and if I should continue this storyline. Thanks for reading. : ) Next Update: Page 22 please? : )
