Three months passed in a jiffy. Sakshi and Adarsh's lives were going fine. They were busy in their respective works most of the time but never forgot to call or meet each other at least once a day.
Sakshi had decided to bury her feelings but she still could not ignore him completely. He was the only true friend she has had till date. And she definitely didn't want to lose him.
As for Adarsh he was a completely different case. Total gone case in her love. Since the day he had realised his love for her he had started putting extra efforts in getting ready for her to notice. And did she notice? Hell yess!!
She had noticed how he had started flirting with her all the more. He was even getting touchy nowadays. Not inappropriately. But some innocent arm around shoulder while walking or friendly side hugs instead of hand shakes as he did earlier.
She also noticed how he looked at her. As if she was the only woman in the whole world. As if she was the most beautiful woman.
Yesterday it was Rashi's birthday and they danced together. All the while he was looking into her eyes with a soft and sweet smile and an emotion she didn't want to comprehend.
**************************************
Two days ago Rashi had called Sakshi to invite them on a family trip together to Jaipur. Pranati's family was also invited.
Sakshi along with her parents reached Singhania house. They greeted everyone. Sakshi's eyes roamed around for him. Just then he came out of a room which some bags.
"Bhabhi aapka saaman le aaya mai. Yahi tha ya aur kuch bhi- ohh- umm- namaste."
(Bhabhi i got your stuff. That was all or there is more-)
He was asking Bhavna when he saw her family and stopped mid-sentence and then went to her parents and took their blessings. He met Pranati and her family too and then came to her.
"Hii. Kaisi ho?"
(How are you?)
"Hii. Thik hu. Aap?"
(I am fine. You?)
"Tumhe dekh lia. Ab thik hu."
(I saw you. Now i am fine.)
She raised her eyebrow at him and he winked. She averted her eyes blushing. This! He had started flirting so much. And it would make her heart flutter everytime he did something like this.
Soon the vehicle arrived and they started loading their luggage. The journey started and the youngsters took the back seats and started playing Dumb Charades.
It was Sakshi's turn to act and she was standing such that her back was facing Adarsh. He had given her the movie to act out. Suddenly the driver applied breaks and she lost her balance making her fall backwards. On his lap.
Everyone asled her if she was alright. Adarsh too was looking at her for any injury but when he saw her hiding her blush he smirked.
Everyone enjoyed. They stopped for washroom breaks in between. And soon everyone was sleeping on their seats.
Adarsh kept her head on his shoulder because it was dangling again and again. Keeping his arm around her shoulder he too slept while keeping his head over hers and a content smile on his face.
After another two hours they reached their hotel. They had booked 9 rooms for the couples and 2 delux rooms for the bachelors. Everyone decided to take rest for some time and then assemble for lunch and they would decide where to go. They decided to go to the City Palace. They enjoyed a lot there and clicked a lot of pictures. They had their dinner at a restaurant nearby and then retired to their respective rooms.
They decided to go to Hawa Mahal and Nahargarh Fort. Everyone enjoyed a lot. In the evening they gattered in the boys' room to play games and enjoy. Soon the elders left. Rashi and Vaibhav and Devesh and Bhavna went back to their room. Utkarsh and Dhriti were playing cards. Sahil also went with Pranati.
Adarsh asked Sakshi if she would take a walk with her. She accepted. He was planning to tell her about his feelings today.
He was nervous yet excited at the same time. He had noticed how she looked at him and knew that she too had some feelings for him.
They started walking in silence just looking at the scenery and feeling the cool breeze.
Adarsh was trying to gain courage but every time he opened his mouth and turned to her side to say something his courage left him and he kept mum.
They sat near the pool dipping their legs in. She balanced herself by putting her hand back and her body weight on her hands. Her head resting back and eyes closed in peace and lips curled into a soft smile.
He continued to look at her. She looked so beautiful in the pure moonlight. A faint breeze blew and some strands of her hair fell on her face. Not able to resist himself he removed them from her face making her look at him.
He smiled and asked.
"Chale."
(Let's go.)
She too smiled and nodded. He carefully got up and gave her his hand. She took his hand and he helped her get up. They were walking back towards the rooms when he finally decided that it either now or never and called her.
"Sakshi."
She turned towards him.
"Hmm?"
"K-kuch kehna tha. Umm-d-do minute rukogi?"
(I wa-wanted to say something. Can you st-stay two minutes?)
She smiled and nodded and he found himself gaining courage through her smile. None of them knew how their night was going to be ruined. How they would be spending the night thinking about each other but this time with tears.
Holding her hands softly in his he whispered the words he had been wanting to from such a long time.
"I love you Sakshi."
Her smile faltered. And her mind started to go into the past again.
"I love you Sakshi. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Piyush had said and she being the fool she was smiled widely.
"Yes."
And that was the worst mistake she had made.
And she definitely did not want to repeat the mistake. ************************************** Ooo...What to you think her answer will be??
