Firstly, please let this woman apologize for delaying the update. My health has been in havoc from the past month. I'm recovering now hopefully. I've left a recap for you people to pick up from the last update. Please pardon any errors and do tell me how you liked this update.
Part 4
Recap : Abhira accepts in front of Armaan that her Professor also happens to be her crush from college days.
The wind was blowing harshly. The silence was brimming. His heart felt a sudden thud. Almost as if it had stopped beating for a miniscule second.
Did Abhira still have some leftover feelings for this man from the past ? Was she opting for a rebound? Why did he have to be her college professor? Why did he also have to be his colleague's boyfriend? Why was this MAN EVERYWHERE ?
One second he thought about coming out of his own thoughts and confronting his wife and the next moment he ACTUALLY did it.
So you still have feelings for him ? he asked with raised eyebrows and a slight smile. Eyes all still but deep within a storm brewing. His subtle facial expressions overshadowed every ounce of uncomfortable jolt he felt within.
What if she said yes ? What would he do ? Ahh no no . Not making any further assumptions, Armaan Poddar. He told himself.
Not at all Armaan said Abhira bursting into laughter. I was brand new at adulting back then. It was just infatuation which faded in a few days. It means absolutely nothing now even though he's still attractive and charming.
And now Armaan was all ears amusingly. Assured that no man could win over his girl. He was in the safe zone again. But why did he feel this uneasiness lately so often. Why could he not bear the thought of somebody else sharing a moment with his wife. It was lowkey obsessive and this behaviour was harming him and could be obnoxious for their relationship as well in the future. He really needed to get a grip over him.
Just then the bell rang.
They both looked at each other in confusion. It's almost one, who's at the door this late ? sighed Abhira
I'll go and check . Armaan got up and looked through the door viewer security system and saw Rohit standing there. A wide beautiful smile surfaced and with sheer excitement he
opened the door. The duo looked at each other and the next moment they were hugging each other like crazy . Abhira heard the laughter squeaks and realised it was Rohit. She got up and went to the door to greet her favourite devar. After exchanging smiles and hugs he said
Bhaiya aur Bhabi aap dono ke liye ek surprise hai . 3 2 1 and go .....
Hooting and shouting from the lift became clearer when they realised it was Krish, Kiara, Aryan, Ruhi and Charu. Seeing all his cousins Armaan got teary eyed. He had missed all of them so much. Abhira was elated to see all of her favourite humans together after such a long time. They all had a group hug and then entered the apartment. After appreciating the balcony view, the furniture pieces, color scheme and planters they all sat down for having their ice cream party.
But guys how did you sneak out at night? Like all of you together ?
Arre bhaiya, nobody at home knows that we are here. Me n Ruhi said that we were going for a weekend getaway. Charu, Krish and Kiara said that they had to attend their mutual school seniors destination wedding. And Aryan said he was having a sleepover at a friend's place. But instead we all sneaked out and came here. We got late because the car broke down on the way. Trust me had it not been that way, we would have reached here by eleven.
Acha hua aap sab log aa gye. Armaan bht miss krta hai sab ko said Abhira.
Par hume pta hai ki aap sirf Ruhi ko miss krti hai said Rohit teasingly.
Ruhi and Abhira had grown closer while living at the Poddar House. After coming clean about her past feelings about Armaan, Ruhi had decided to give her marriage a fair chance. It had only been a month but Ruhi had already started to feel something about Rohit. She was not only falling for her husband's virtues and traits but also for HIM. It was marital bliss which she was experiencing. Her and Armaan were a tale of the forgotten past now. She came to this realisation quite early that they didn't love each other. They just liked the idea of being in love. Today she could proudly commit her feelings for her husband because she had experienced true love in her marriage. Armaan was a friend to her just like she was to him. They would both laugh like maniacs while gossiping about Rohit's childhood stories. And Abhira, Ruhi found a little sister in that girl. She would bicker nonstop but had a golden heart. They would both sit on the terrace swing and talk for hours under the moonlight. Their love for interiors, F.R.I.E.N.D.S and pop music would top their conversations. And now Ruhi would constantly miss Abhira in Poddar House.
Haan aur mai bhi isse bht miss krti hoon said Ruhi tightly pulling Abhira into a back hug.
Armaan and Rohit beamed with joy seeing their girls bond.
It was two in the morning now. The girls were watching the old Bollywood jewel Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak when Abhira marvelled at the beautiful scenery of the shoot locations. Kiara told Abhira how certain scenes were shot at Mount Abu.
Mount Abu is like a three hour ride from here. A very beautiful place bhabhi. Hum bachpan mein jaate the, haina Armaan bhaiya.
Exactly, Nakki Lake mein boating krte the hum sab saath mein.
But I don't remember anything? said Aryan
Kyunki tu sabse chota tha, you were barely three said Rohit.
Toh ab chalte hai, sab phir se..... saath mein ? asked Abhira with excited eyes .
That's brilliant plan bhabhi said Rohit, Aryan and Krish in unison jumping from the couch.
But Abhira, tumhara college ?
Armaan kal off hai, yaad hai aur tumhare office bhi nahi hai . Sab yaha hai saath mein, chalte hai na.
Haan bhaiya, mai kuch nhi suna chahta. Yeh one day trip hum kr rhe hai and that's final. Time out , said Rohit.
The next thirty minutes were dedicated to packing for their Mount Abhu getaway. Abhira willingly offered to share her clothes for the upcoming day with all the girls and so did Armaan to his brothers. They packed some munchies, drinks, soda cans, juices and the leftover plum cake for the road trip. It was a seven seater Fortuner in which all eight of them squeezed in together. There is always something about brown families squeezing together in cars. So at three in the morning, this crazy tribe left for Mount Abu.
They went shouting songs at the top of their lungs, dancing and discussing their childhood memories. He would always find Abhira all inquisitive and giggling amidst the tales, it had been a long time since he had seen her this relaxed. She was at ease and this made him at ease.
Before the sun rose above the horizon, they were at the sunrise point in Mount Abu. The serene surroundings of the Nakki Lake, perching Aravalli hills, pink cotton candy clouds and the red rising sun all made them spellbound. The wind made Abhira's hair flow in the air. She looked so happy. He had rarely seen her this content. He felt an ocean of tranquilizing ease wiping him off. Her glinting eyes made his worries evaporate. What was this connection ? He had experienced love in all its forms since childhood but this feeling was different from everything he ever experienced before. He wanted time to stand still so that he could keep looking at his Abhira.
It was 7 in the morning now. They all headed to their resort and after having a hearty breakfast went for a power nap. At ten after waking up, they set up towards the Achalgarh fort and then to the Delwara Jain Temple. The entire day went in a blink of an eye. The night was approaching now. They all were back at their resort. Exhausted from the day, they all sat together for the last dinner. Tomorrow morning they would all part ways. With a heavy heart they all still relished their dinner together. As Abhira got up to attend a call, she returned a few minutes later to a table full of laughter and light. It was hustling with joy about how the day went by. She stood there for a long minute as if capturing a live picture by the eyes.
Mumma, she said looking towards the stars in the clear sky, Dekho aapki Abhira ko ek family mil gyi. Ab shayad mai akeli nahi hoon mumma. Yes, your Abhira found her family.
Tears dripped down her eyes and before they could run down her chin, Armaan caught them in his hand.
Yeh aansu kyu ? asked Armaan
Without saying anything, she beckoned with her eyes towards the table.
Armaan wrapped his hand around Abhira's hand and slowly put his head on her shoulder. Abhira also titled her head towards Armaan's and said Tumhari family kab meri family ban gyi pta hi nhi chla !
Aur tum meri family kab ban gyi mujh nhi pta chala! said Armaan.
She lifted her head and looked at him. He was teary eyed. But before she could ask him anything they were interrupted by Rohit.
The dinner ended. Everyone departed to their room.
Abhira could not stop thinking about what Armaan had just said . She wanted to clarify it with him but he was nowhere to be found.
It had been an hour since she was waiting but there was no sign of him.
Just then Ruhi knocked on their door. Abhira opened it and Ruhi said
Abhira, hot chocolate ?
Chalo Ruhi waise bhi Armaan toh room mein hai nahi.
They both reached the pool area of the resort . They sat by the pool and Ruhi asked Abhira about her college. They both were deeply engaged in talks when Ruhi 's phone rang. She excused herself and went to pick up the call. It was Armaan calling Ruhi to confirm that she could bring Abhira to the terrace of the resort now.
The moment Armaan's heart accepted the fact that Abhira was his family, it opened up locked doors of self realisation. He recognised his love at that moment. He knew he had fallen. He knew it was jealousy that led him to be on the edge before. He knew HER contentment, her happiness was HIS love . He knew it all in that one brief moment. One brief moment made his aware that this different feeling was love. And now he didn't want to waste another day declaring his love to his woman. He was going to profess his love tonight itself.
So after the dinner, he immediately spiked up a plan with his cousins while Ruhi kept Abhira engaged. Tonight here at Mount Abu he would propose his love to his wife. And everything was set.
Ruhi turned back after hanging up to take Abhir to the garden area. But Abhira was nowhere in sight. She looked around but there was no trace of Abhira. Ruhi now grew frantic and searched around shouting her name. She enquired at the reception and with the waiters but no one had any clue. Her phone rang. It was Armaan again. She picked up the call and said in utter disdain that Abhira was missing.
Yeh tum kya keh rahi ho Ruhi, Abhira tumhare saath toh thi abhi 5 min pehle.
Haan Armaan but jab Mai tumse baat karke wapas aayi tab woh waha nahi thi.
Abhira, wahi hogi pool ke paas .
Armaan woh kahi nahi hai maine har jagah dhundh liya hai.
Tum ruko, hum sab neeche aaye hai .
They searched around, enquired around but nobody knew where Abhira was. With every passing minute, Armaan's panic grew. His chest felt heavier, knees felt weaker. Just then his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He picked it up and the voice surprisingly was not unknown. He had heard this exact voice before.
Abhira, mere paas hai Armaan Poddar said the voice.
Armaan recognised the voice in the next blink. It was YUVRAJ and he had kidnapped his Abhira.
To be continued.
