Running Away - Aarya FF
Part 1 -
((Third Person POV)- Aarti)
''Uhh.. I .. don't think I know you''
said a confused woman as she accidently ran into this 'strange' guy in the shopping mall who she had locked eyes with after getting his things from his hands when she bumped into him
''Dubs, its me.''
This 'strange' guy said with his eyes wide open and his eyebrows scrunched as if he couldn't believe the reaction of this woman right in front of him.
''Dubs? '' She exclaimed as she tried to push him a tiny bit because he was definitely too close to her.
''you.. you must've mistaken me with someone else, I am sure that I have never seen you before''
She hurried passed right, trying not to make eye contact with him, still confused with random questions stuck in her head
((MINUTES EARLIER)) - (HER POV)
''I wonder where I can buy a notepad''
I said. I have shifted work and home and I am buying new pens and sketchpads and you might be wondering why notepads? why look for sketchpads when I can use a computer? but without a sketchpad I don't know what I would do!
Anyways, I moved here just a couple of days back from Kolkata to Bhopal as I shifted my work and came to live with my family again. I remember the day I got here. I were just at the airport as our plane just landed and the first thing I thought was,
''toilets!''
Just thinking of that moment makes me laugh but when a woman got to go, she has to go! So I was at the arrival department and Akash (Aarti's brother) welcomed me with warm hugs and a punch! it hurt! I got welcomed back home with lots of food and a lot of telling off!
I went through my luggage and bags searching for my notepad and I need a notepad where ever I go, don't ask! so I asked Akash to take me to the mall to get my one as I needed one for work tomorrow too. After 5 minutes of walking in circles, going up and down the escalators I found the entrance to a stationary shop. I was about to enter when these people who think they are 'hilarious' started to joke around. Then, I didn't realise that I bumped into a guy seemingly to be the same age as me, maybe a year older.
''Oops sorry, I didn't see you there.. my mind was somewhere else.''
Before I could finish, I met his eyes. I stopped and stared at him, he seemed familiar, not very familiar but a blurred memory of him. He had casual dark brown hair and a pair of beautiful eyes. he wore a blue shirt with 3 buttons undone showing his bare chest and black trousers with black smart shoes.. I just couldn't put my finger on it! he looked familiar! come on Aarti! snap out of it and apologize.
''what I am trying to say, I am sorry .. um here let me help you..''
I got down on my knees and helped him pick up his files and crumpled documents. I tried to pick up as much as I could being as helpful as I could. I picked up a letter which caught my attention.
''uh no its fine. Here let me get those. ''
He said as we stood up at the same time. I give him the papers that dropped again as I got lost in his eyes again. We stood there for a minute staring at each other without a single word.
'' Yeah, ermm thanks''
'' no problem! have I met you before?''
He laughed and placed a smile on his face.
''Wait, your Aarti Dubey right?''
I shivered, it happens to me when I am surprised or scared. How did he know my name? I mean I am surprised, I don't remember his name but he knows my name.
'' Yeah I am, but wait.. how did you know my name?''
''You didn't recognise me?''
''no, I didn't sorry''
'' I am that guy who used to be in your standard in school. I am the one who used to walk with you to school, I used to be your neighbour, before my family moved from Kolkata. So you seriously don't remember me? I am Yash Schindia!
I started thinking, Yash... Yash Schindia.. Shindia.. hmm but nothing. I gave out a silent sigh because at first, he did look familiar but once I heard his name, I figured I might have just ran into him when I was in school or somewhere in the village, but about those things he just said we used to do, it does not ring a bell to me. I am sure he has mistaken me with someone else because definitely did not know a Yash Schindia.
((BACK TO THE PRESENT ))
''Uh, I don't think I know you''
He somewhat looked more confused than I was and said
'' Dubs, its me''
And I was like Dubs? what was he talking about? was I in a relationship with him before or something? no! I was too young for that. Was he my friend? I seriously cant remember anything!
''Dubs? you must be mistaken with someone else because I surely don't know you''
Then I scurried away slowly in front of him since he was blocking the entrance to the store. Random questions flew in my head, I just wanted to get away from the problem! but how did he know my name and I had no clue? where did he get these memories? I quickly went to get my notepad and rushed back out again.. relieved that he left the place.. I got back home with my brother and started to sort things for my next day at work. I got changed and went into my new snuggly warm bed. The thing is I couldn't sleep.. That guy was in my mind all the time!
((THIRD PERSON POV))
Without her noticing, Aarti fell asleep having the last thought in her head was that Yash Schindia. Could it be possible that they have met before? was Yash telling the truth???
I will update maybe Monday :)
