*Veer Beta, come soon. We all are waiting!
Love, Mom*
Veer smiled at the message from his mother. I am coming home, Ma.
Home. It reminded him of smile and happiness. The thought of going back home was so pleasing. As he recalled every faces of his house from his Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, mother, his sister Khushi and Maya.
Maya would be so happy to find him home. So happy that she would make him want to run back to his hostel. Yes she was that clingy. But she had been his friend as long as he knew, so it was natural for him to be caring and protective of the girl he had grown up with.
With a content smile Veer ignited the engine of his bike all set to go home. In his Kawasaki Vulcun 2000, and the huge luggage tied securely in the back seat, he rode the bike as if he was the king of universe.
His pride moment was short lived when suddenly a girl came towards his bike. He had to pull the brakes with jolt to avoid hurting her. The bike stopped touching her without any force, she fell forward on the bike with a jerk.
"Watch where you go woman!" he screamed.
Recovering from the situation, Aastha looked up to glare at the person who almost killed her. "You could have killed me! Can't you watch were you going?" She countered only to hear his snicker.
"yeah right! I was riding all right, until you popped up in the middle of the road! Didn't your parents teach how to cross the road?"
If her car hadnt broke down in the middle of the road, if she hadnt sent her driver to fix her car, if she hadn't had an appointment with her professor Dr.devendar Prasad in just 15 minutes, She wouldn't have been on the road, almost killed by a jerk!
"I have been taught all that is needed to! But I guess you are lacking in something called mannerism, why don't you ask your parents to teach you that?"
"How dare you talk about my parents?"
"You started it!"
"Ugh! you know what, forget it! Get lost!!" Saying so he tried to start his engine.
"Not so soon!" she stood infront of his bike glaring at him, "Apologize and then leave!" she demanded.
"No WAY!!"
"Apologize now!" her voice was stern and clear.
He shook his head as if saying he didn't give a damn.
"I won't" he said with equal force and kicked to start his bike.
She immediately removed the keys off the hole, glaring at him.
"Gimme my keys you stupid woman!" he growled.
He called me stupid? Ab toh gaya yeh kaam se! She said mentally.
"I am so not going to apologize to you!" he growled again.
"Fine! Your wish" saying so, she turned on her heels and called on auto. He stared at dumbstruck. Was she for real?
The moment she called the auto, she felt someone tug her duppata and it fell of her neck. Shocked and embarrassed she turned around to find the other end of the duppatta on his hand.
Anger was that had crept her nerves suddenly died down when her eyes met his.
His face, it looked so familiar, like she had known him for ages. He had rare apple green eyes that had depths of an ocean. Something in his face told her that he was the answer to all her questions. She couldn't hear his voice anymore. He was yelling at her and asking her to give the keys of his bike, but she could hear none of it. There was commotion around her, her subconscious mind noted that there was a traffic block around them. Horns of different vehicles blazed on their ears, but she didn't hear any of those. His face had touched something deep within her. There was struggle, desperation, frustration building up her. An unknown force begged to be free from inside her and she couldn't point what exactly it was.
He stepped closer to shake her out of her day dreaming. His fingers brushed her arms and he shock her to get her out of whatever she was thinking. He wanted his goddamn keys! He had no idea what his mere touch was doing to her.
She could hear the anklet sounds inside her head. She heard someone sing a familiar song inside her head. Standing there in the middle of the traffic, being shaken by man who had sudden caused volcano burst inside her, she was lost. All she could see and hear was a young girl running around the palace with the sound of her anklets and her laughter that seemed so melodious and so innocent. Her eyes spoke volumes of desire, love and wait. Mohan.. the girl inside her head said with a blush as man stood infront of the girl with a familiar apple green eyes. Aastha realized that man and the man infront of her eyes were same.
"Oh hello! I didn't do anything! God, why cant you people understand? She took my keys!!" he was defending himself to the crowd that had collected around them.
She was sweating and shivering of what her mind was playing with her. She had to run away as far as possible. Seeing him was causing hovoc inside her. This would only increase her nightmares!
"You keys" She handed his keys and looked into his hypnotizing eyes. Surprised by her move he sighed with relief. The crowd was now asking her if she was alright and whether he harmed her. She didn't give a damn to any of those for she was staring at the man infront of her.
As much as he hated giving attention to the girl who annoyed him so much, he couldn't help but stare at her innocent face. She seemed to fight something within her. She had doe eyes that looked upto him as if she had been waiting to see him all her life. He could see her shiver under his gaze. What was happening to him? She was a stranger!
"Ma'am are you okay?" her driver called her.
Forcefully she tore her eyes from him to acknowledge the driver. "Are you okay ma'am? Maalkin sent another car for you.."
"Okay. Lets go" she told her driver.
Before leaving she glanced back at the man who had managed create myriad of emotions within her just by his mere look and touch. "I am sorry" she told him and left.
He stared at her back as she disappeared from his vicinity. There was something in her, something in that look she gave him. What was this about? Few minutes ago, she so frantically demanding him to apologize her, and then she gets one look on his face and goes all numb?
