CH 11 : Wounds Of The Past
They reached the dance camp venue. As a general secretary and assistant general secretary, Rey and Taani completed all the formalities and paper work. Girls were led to girl's cottage by taani, where as boys went in boys cottage with Rey.
Taani was seated on her bed, after she placed her luggage. Se got comfortable on the bed and got busy in talking to her brother, ronak, through messages.
"Hope that girl is not troubling you?" Taani shook her head, seeing her brother's next text. Asking her about Vishakha.
"No, Ron. She didn't and forget whatever happened, Vishakha is not that bad." She typed and sent it to her brother.
"Those, who disrespect my di, are not good either." Her cell phone beeped, she opened the message and read ronak's reply, which brought a small smile on her face. She knew, vishakha is now in ronak's hit list and ronak is not going to forget whatever had happened so easily.
"Maa is right, You guys are spoiling me with your over-protectiveness." She replied, referring her their father and her brothers, swayum and ronak.
"Hey! We are not over-protective." She laughed seeing ronak's reply, who tried defending himself, his brother and their father.
"Lying is not good, Ron."
"Fine! We are over-protective. But thats our janam-sidh-adhikaar, you are our princess." Ronak's reply, left her in awe. Just then, she heard sharon, calling her for dinner.
"Aw. Thats so sweet, Ron. Now, i have to go, its time for dinner. You have yours, then go to sleep. Good night and i love you." She typed quickly and pressed the send button. Ever since, Ronak has come to live with them, she was getting better. In presence of her brother, she was forgetting her pain. Since, Ronak and his antics, always make her smile, no matter, in how much pain she is.
"I love you too, di." She smiled seeing his reply, she turned off her cell phone. She got down from the bed and walked out of the girls cottage. She went in garden area, where dinner was arranged along with camp fire.
Her eyes roamed around, in search of her brother and Rey. A small smile was tugging at her lips when she found them, enjoying with other boys.
"Taani!" She turned around and found Ashi, standing there and grinning ear to ear.
"Your favorite, Gulab janum. Open your mouth-" Ashi squealed and before taani could react, Ashi stuffed a piece gulab juman in her mouth. Taani look at her best friend in astonishment where as Ashi burst into fits of laughter, seeing her funny yet adorable expression.
"Aw. Aren't you too cute, girl." Ashi laughed as she side hugged her.
Rey, whose gaze was fixed on her, since she had entered the garden area, couldn't help but smile seeing the small interaction between taani and ashi. And her expressions when Ashi forcefully made her eat gulab janum and she pouted in annoyance, his heart skipped a beat, realizing how adorably cute she is.
He smiled when he watched Ashi dragging a grumpy taani toward the food counter. His trance was broken when he heard someone clearing his throat. He turned his head and found his childhood friend, Vicky, who was looking at him suspiciously.
"What were you doing, Rey?" Vicky questioned him, he raised his one eye brow at him. Rey look at him, not knowing what to answer to him.
"Chill, Dude! Just don't let swayum know." Vicky throw his arm around his shoulder and told him, in matter of the fact tone.
"What?" Rey voiced out his.
"Yea! I am sure, swayum won't be happy to see, how you look at his sister." Vicky murmured, he raised his one eye brow at Rey, which tells him, he had caught him looking at taani.
"Vicky, what are you talking about? And how do i look at her?" Rey questioned him, He waited for him to answer, but vicky's answer left him speechless and in deep thinking.
"Like she is the only one for you."
Like she is the only one for you. Those words ringed in his mind. Does he really look at her like this? Since when? And had he forget, she is just swayum's sister. He wasn't supposed to look at her, like he was. He doesn't want to. He doesn't want to fall for anyone, again. He doesn't want to face heartbreak, again. He doesn't want to experience those feelings, ever again.
"You like her, don't you?" Vicky's voice brought him back in to reality.
"What? No way-" He denied straight away. Vicky look at his friend as he walked away from there. He shook his head, knowing his friend is in denial mode. But he also know, he can't run away from his feelings for too long. Sooner or later, he has to accept, his past doesn't hold any importance and he needs to move on.
