DIL, DOSTI.. HUM!! ch25: pg 148,thread #2 link:pg1 - Page 7

Chapter 3

Well after he left der was a void in my life.. I hardly had ny frnds coz he n his khadus elder bro wer all I had!! N as much I hate to say it.. I missed nt just DD bt also his bro.. maan!! Bcoz of him.. we cud go nywer as all elders trusted him 2 take care of us.. n he evn helped me in my home work wen DD cudnt!! Overall I just felt lonely.. meers was also small.. it just added 2 my miseries!!

Seeing my unusually sad condition, maa n dad wer worried. Dey did realize my lonliness bt wer helpless!! They tried 2 do whtever dey cud.. distract me wid keeping me busy wid karate classes, drawing, swimming, dancing classes n wht nt.. though all dese thngs drained me physically bt I still missed my DD!!

It was dad who found d solution.. He kept his word.. n taught me hw 2 email.. initially 'twas jus a few lines as expected out of a ten yr old.. I guess DD must also hv been helped by his bro or daadi!! The first tym he replied it was almost 5 days after my mail.. I was angry tht it took him so long bt once he responded I had no complaints!! As d yrs passed by online chatting was our best mode of communication.. der wer no webcams so we had 2 type n chat.. nd today I hv d advantage of being able to type at a speed which can give complex to an expert in shorthand!!

I shared all my secrets wid him.. big or small.. n though he took his own sweet time, he'd nvr fail to reply!! He was alwaz der for me.. looking bk in retrospection.. I liked d way he handled all my problems.. in such a matured manner.. esp considering his age.. I d look upto him for advice fm which color dress I shud wear for d prom to solving my academic querries to getting gifts for my frnds to cooling me down wen I had an argument wid maa..!! even my decision 2 do interior decoratn course was bcoz he was doin architecture n thus we'd complement each odr!! Aftr all khuranas wer such a big construction brand n bth brothers wer involved wid it..

All dese yrs he wasn't physically here bt den I hardly missed him!! he was der for me in ways even dose here cudnt be..

He had bcm busy d last few yrs.. aftr all fm wht dad had told me was tht d khurana empires was a huge entity n maan was handling it n dd was assisting.. I guess!! n dad was proud of maan for being able to handle it so well at such a young age!! Well I wasn't surprised maan was tht types.. he had been responsible ryt since d time he was here!! I hadn't heard a word fm him since dey had left for india.. I cudnt even recall his face.. !! n it wud b surprising if dd worked hard n maan chatted wid me?!!! N obviously 'twas impossible!! But den smtyms I did get confused wen I thot of dad's talk abt dd. Apparently he was so chilled out in his life.. he was pursuing architecture, bt wasn't serious abt it!! bt in all his convos wid me, he seemed so mature n understandin!! I put it off as his variable situational response!! Probably he was hvin a tuff tym working!!

Bt whtevr it may b.. fact remains tht I had a wonderful frnd in dd.!. meers smtyms teased me saying tht probably I ve fallen for him.. considering d way I get hyper seeing his mails n hw I relied on him, n hw he knew all der is to me n vice versa..!!

I don't know hw much of it is true, bt I know, unknowingly n subconsciously bth of us had adopted n adapted to thngs d odr likes! Is it love? I don't know.. bt I cud feel my butterflies in my stomach just thinking abt it!!

Infact.. We knew evrythng abt each odr I guess..

Except our faces..!!

Precap: will she recognize him?

Chapter 4

"undekha anjaan sa.. pagla sa deewana sa..

Jaane wo kaisa hoga re.?."

Actually its all my doing!! After all dese yrs of almost sharing my life wid him.. I had a picture of him

In my mind.. N being d filmy person I was.. I wanted 2 c whthr i cud recognize him widout seeing his pics or talkin on d phone!! I distinctly remember him makin fun of my idea bt once he realized I was serious, he let it be.. just like alwaz.. I had realized he'd nvr say no 2 me.. just like I'd nvr b able to say no 2 nythng he wants!! Der was almost a mutual understanding amongst us tht we nvr put d odr in a spot!! Infact wen meers, my younger sis

came to know tht I still hadn't seen his pic or spoken 2 him she laughed at me..

"di.. I cant believe u're almost in love wid a guy, widout seeing or hearing him? wht if he has squint or is hard at hearing?"

"meers.. just shut up!!i m nt in love wid him.. n He has no such probs.. n I know for sure.. I d recognize him d moment I c him!!"

"I bet u wont.."

"I will.."

"u wont!!"

"fyn bet.. a 1000 pounds!!"

'done di.. bt hw wil I know u've recognized him.. ? I mean aftr knowing d truth, u may just say its him!!"

"meer.. u gotta trust me.."

"umm. Bt wait I hv a better idea.."

"wht?"

"u give him a hug first.. n I d know.."

"wht..??" I blushed at d thot of it!!

Lost in my thots I'd failed to realize we were abt 2 land!! N for a moment I was scared, nervous,.. n I knew it had nthng 2 do wid d landing!! It was all abt him!!

As we enterd d lobby corridor, my eyes scanned d crowd for a glimpse of him.. bt he was no wer!! Suddenly dad started walkin towards a particular corner.. n thts wen I noticed two guys standing der waiting for us!!

Both of dem dreseed in formals!! Bt i knew which one was him.. bth wer gud luking bt my DD was a class apart.. tht subtle hint of a smile n d twinkle in his eyes.. I knew it was only for me!! Bth wer well built n dey definitely held d attention of all d women arnd bt I knew I had his attension!! His perfect M shaped lips, greek god body!! He was DD in d true sense of d word "Dhak Dhak"!! I wondered wht all I was noticing abt him.. he looked even better than wht I had imagined!! My throat went dry, n my heart rate increased.. bth wer lukin at me, bt I cud feel his penetrating gaze on me.. it made me blush uncontrollably!! N I m sure he'd notice! Hey babaji.. save me!! I just wanted 2 run away!!

:"did u recognize ur DD?" meers whispered

"he's nt mine.." I was nt goin 2 admit my feelings 2 her, atleast nt nw!!

'u remember u hv 2 hug.."

"I-know-meer.."

As bth of dem took blessings from maa n dad, I waited patiently for him..

As soon as he did turned to me I hugged him.

My heart calm n my soul content!! It was supposed 2 b a frndly hug bt I nvr wanted to leave d warmth of his arm!!

Precap: which dd did she hug?
