Hello everyone. Some of you know me some don't. those who do know me also know that I have a few FFs or SSs scattered, unfinished around on this forum. I have stopped writing even a line for along time due to various reasons. And this short one piece is not a promise that I might be able to finish the other ones. Its just something that came to me and I was unable to shook it off. Consider it as a trial run. It is nothing extraordinary. The story defo has Abhiya but as a subject and described by a third party point of view. Its as clichd as you get them. But I still wrote it anyway. I don't even know whether its even post worthy or not but anyways humoring myself.
Diii
The shrill voice broke the peaceful sound of the entire house on a lazy afternoon. Kajal sighed in frustration. Ever since she came back home for her vacation its been a roller coaster ride for her. First, she has to visit different relatives every other day and have her backslapped in appreciation for getting a good job (thank God for campus interviews) in a big MNC or monotonously answering queries from younger potential nerdy cousins about job prospect, How to handle pressure during exam, which books to follow for exams, how she survives hostel food (that came from the eternal hungry ones) or whether she has any boyfriend or not. If yes get in to the details (the last one came from overfriendly aunts. GOD help me). And if all this put together is not enough its her little sister. Shreya. That 16 year old mini devil is hell bent on making her 4 weeks of holidays an absolute nightmare. As Kajal lives in Dehradun for her studies and visits her home once in every six months she misses her family dearly. So this time when she came back home in a gesture of sisterly love she offered her lil sis to have full reign of her laptop for games internet etc. Shreya dropped her laptop in excitement just the day before Kajal came home ("I jumped in excitement hearing Di getting home not because of some stupid gossip with friends" a wide teary eyed Shreya gave her father the perfect excuse) and is now in repair center. And her kindness ran away with her. While her sister mostly uses the laptop for homeworks and stuff sometimes she takes a peek at her elder sister's pics library to get an idea of the life she led away from home. And those pics in itself brings a dam of questions as in Who? Where? What? Whose? Kajal is now sure her sister will know all the areas of her college as well as the back of her hand. Kajal, an avid photographer takes a lot of pics of almost everything associated with her life and she has a whole folder devoted to her college which she loves immensely. Mount College is a beautiful college with beautiful views and she has captured each and every part of it in her camera during those days when she used to get to college early.
Today as any other day she is sure her sister has opened another pic folder and she brazed herself for another torturous round of interrogation. Sure enough a figure plunked herself beside her placing the laptop in front of them. Kajal looked at her lil sis who sure enough is a devil in an angels guise. Her smile can brighten your day or can get you in trouble.
K- What now?
S- Who are they? She pointed to a picture in front of her. Kajal looked in it and smiled. A picture of a ridiculously handsome guy with astonishing blue eyes and a set of heartbreaking dimple on his cheeks, a handsome jaw line in black vest and blue denims stared back at her. His arms are encircled around the waist of a girl with petite figure, milky skin, long curly tresses and big baby brown eyes. The girl is wearing a cropped pale yellow tank and blue denims as well and her face framed with curls looks like that of an angel with the most infectious smile.
"Who are they?" repeated Shreya again nudging her sister to answer her question.
That's Abhay Raichand and Piya Dobriyal, answered Kajal with a soft voice.
S- Are they your friends? Are they model? Why is he holding her? Why do you have only one of their picture? How come I don't know them? I know all your friends. They always visit our home at least once.
K- Shreya sweetie take a deep breath and I will answer all your questions.
S- Ok shoot.
Kajal- Abhay & Piya are my seniors. They were in the their last term of college together during my first years. They belong to two very prominent business family in Dehradoon. You must have heard Dad talking about the Raichands or Dobriyal sometime he does business with them. Remember today even at breakfast Dad mentioned them.
Shreya sniffed, "I have more important things to do in breakfast than listening to Dad. Finishing those delicious paranthas was more important.
Kajal rolled her eyes. Anyways like I said they were my seniors. They were both very popular. Although Abhay in a more negative way. He is not what you will say very chummy. But girls used to swoon all over him no matter how rudely he brushes them off. He is brilliant and a fantastic sportsman. He used to always keep himself busy in either studies or sports. Not big on socializing. Except his best friend Kabir and Misha.
"Sounds gay to me." Piped in Shreya "do you want me to stop?" "no" shreya exclaimed.
Then shut up and listen.
Pia is popular as she is a brilliant student as well. She is Misha's sister and though she is Abhay's best friend, Abhay and Pia never see each other eye to eye. Everyone knows about them in college. He used to consider her nosy and a magnet of trouble and for Pia he was plain rude Jerk and donkey were her favourite words for him. Ironically anytime Pia is in trouble Abhay would be the first person to break a sweat and vice versa. They both made excuses because their families were close. Once they got into this huge fight over a college play. Pia was chosen for the role of Juliet and she was hoping her best friend Jeh would get the part of Romeo but Abhay beat him to it. They drove everyone crazy with their constant bickering and they would refuse to practice with each other. But at the day of the play when the curtains rolled they were the perfect Romeo and Juliet. The way they looked in each others eye. Spoke the words of love of Shakespeare with such intensity and it was so magical, everyone of us was mesmerized. I have never seen two people looking so beautiful together, like they were made for each other, to make each other more beautiful. Pia's sister Misha actually cried though she threatened everyone that if anyone repeats the word she will knock them with her bike.
Shreya: Whoa she rides a bike. COOL! I like her. Kajal glared at her.ok continue.
Anyways it was during the graduation ball that everything changed. Pia came in the ball with her date wearing this stunning strapless little black dress that rode till her thighs and on the back it was showing miles of her milky skin. She looked every bit a stunner. The party was great I had my first date with Rahul on that day, but anyways Pia and Abhay fought again their over some remarks Abhay made over her dress and before Misha could come to her defense Pia actually slapped Abhay.
Shreya shouted- Yeah go girl. What did that sadu Raichand do.
Kajal- he looked livid. He looked ready to kill her and the next thing we know he kissed her in front of everyone and what is more she kissed him back. And did he kissed her good. (ooh HOT) Everyone was shocked. Before any of us could react he broke the kiss and took Pia's hand and walked out the room with her before Misha could utter Damn Raichand. And the rest they say is their story not history. Overnight they became this IT couple of Dehradoon. This pic was taken by me last month. It was a college reunion and we had a rain themed party. I clicked the pic right after Abhay proposed to Pia in the same spot where everything started.
Shreya- wow that's a nice story. But why did you click their pic and have it?
Kajal- Because they look so right together. For the last four years of their togetherness although their has not been much of PDA but everytime you see them together your heart will warm up. Evertime he touches her in the most casual way, holds her it sends your blood rushing. Its sometime fascinating to see how they forget their surroundings and suddenly becomes aware of that smiled sheepishly to each other. It makes you want someone to love you just like that. They might not be Romeo-Juliet, Heer-Ranjha, Soni-Mahiwal, but they are something unique. Their love story might not be plagued by enmity or other obstruction, you know they will have their fair shares of differences or obstacles. You know it will not be a rosy walk in life. But you also know that somehow they will overcome each and every difficulty together. Because that is what they are. That is how their love looks like to their family, friends closed one and a third wheel like me. They are Abhay and Pia. Abhiya.
Fin.
Love to you all🤗
