"Are you happy with everything that if happening?"
"Pata nhi."
(I don't know.)
She whispered again.
"Achha ye toh bata do ki apni marzi se haan ki na?"
(Atleast tell me did you say on your own will or any pressure.)
She nodded and quickly ran from there. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair as he looked at her running form.
He knew she was feeling awkward and this was what he did not want. He wanted his old Ahana back.
'Don't worry you would soon get 'your Ahana'.'
He rolled his eyes and went back to his work.
**************************************
It had been a month since they had said yes and Ahana was slowly coming in terms of it. She smiled remembering how Reyansh had talked to her when she was avoiding him.
Reyansh and Ahana were preparing for a surgery that they had to attend. Reyansh looked at Ahana and sighed. She had been avoiding him since the last week.
"Ahana. Mujhe kuch baat krni hai tumse."
(I have to talk to you.)
"Baad mai Dr. Reyansh. Abhi we have to go."
(Later Dr. Reyansh. We have to go.)
She said without looking at him.
After the surgery he immediately called her in his cabin and she too followed knowing that she couldn't avoid him forever.
As soon as they entered the cabin Reyansh looked at her and sighed when he saw that she still wasn't looking at him.
"Kya hua hai Ahana?"
(What has happened Ahana?)
"Kya hua Dr. Reyansh?"
(What happened Dr. Reyansh?)
He was getting irritated now. Composing himself he said.
"Cut the formality Ahana. No one is here."
"Kya baat krni thi aapko Reyansh?"
(What did you want to talk about Reyansh?)
"Ansh! Its Ansh for you."
She looked at him and their eyes met for the first time in the week. He took a step forward making her step back instinctively. He stopped immediately.
"Kyu bhaag rhi ho mujhse? Shaadi nhi karni toh its fine. But don't run away like this."
(Why are you running from me? If you don't want to get married then its fine.)
She lowered her head feeling guilty. It was not like she did not want to get married to him but she didn't know how she felt. Or maybe she was just denying her feelings which made it awkward for her.
"I- aisa nhi hai. I just- ye sab bhut awkward lag rha hai. I respect you a lot Ansh lekin suddenly.. thinking of you as my husband.. bhut awkward lag rha hai."
(Its not like that. This is all very awkward. Its very awkward.)
She finally confessed. He softly cupped her face and made her look at him.
"Awkward toh lagega hi. Agar mujhe uss Reyansh ki tarah dekhogi jisse tum hamesha se dekhti aayi ho. Mujhe bhi bhut awkward laga tha but once you accept the fact that we can actually be more than what we ever were cheeze aasan ho jaayengi. Haan unless you don't want this marriage."
(It would be awkward. If you see me as the Reyansh you have always seen. I also felt awkward but once you accept the fact that we can actually be more than what we ever were things would become easy.)
He said though internally he prayed for her answer to be positive. Somewhere in his heart he had already started seeing a future with her.
"Nhi mujhe shaadi se koi problem nhi hai. But-"
(I don't have any problem with the marriage.)
"Stop running away from me Ahana. Jab tak mujhse aur apni feelings se bhagti rahogi tab tak ajeeb lagega hi. Give me a chance. Please."
(Till you keep running away from me and you feelings it would be awkward.)
He whispered keeping his forehead on hers making her breath hitch.
'Can i scream with happiness!?"
'Yes you can.'
'Ahhhhhh! Oh my God! Hayee main toh mar gyi.'
'Mai bhi.'
"Okay."
She whispered softly making him smile. He kissed her forehead softly and she couldn't contain the smile threatening to form on her face.
She was lost in her thoughts when someone nudged her breaking her reverie.
Aditya was looking at her with a mischievous smirk.
"Ab toh tu meri bhabhi ban jaayegi. Izzat deni padegi tujhe."
(Now you would be my bhabhi. I will have to respect you.)
"Shut up Adi."
She glared at him trying to hide her actual feelings. If he got to know he would tease her to death.
"Kya jaadu kia hai madam aapne Reyansh bhai pr. Aise chehak rhe hai jaise kisi bachhe uski favourite chocolate dedi ho."
(What have you done to my brother. He is glowing as if a child had received his favourite chocolate.)
"Stop it yaar Adi."
"Arre mazak nhi. Sach me. Pyaar ho gya bhai ko shayad."
(I am not joking. Really. I think he is in love.)
She looked at him and then smiled shyly thinking about it.
"Kya!? Kya maine tujhe sharmate huye dekha!? Rehnde de Ahana bhut ajeeb lagti hai tu sharmate huye."
(What!? Did i see you blushing!? Please leave it Ahana you look super weird while blushing.)
"Bhaag yaha se. Kutta kahi ka."
(Get lost. Moron.)
He ran out laughing while Ahana sat their thinking about everything. Their wedding was finalised in two months and everyone was busy in preparations.
They were going to start their shopping within a week. She had started accepting her feelings. She did like him a little.
Now that she thought about it she noticed that he had always cared a lot about her. He did lecture her a lot but had never raised his voice even once.
'He did once.'
She thought.
'And whose fault was that?'
'Okay fine lekin dieting krne ke liye koi itna daanta hai kya?'
'Seriously! You starved yourself for two months and landed in hospital in emergency case.'
'Okay fine! Nhi daante wo. Happy now?'
'Yup. Very.'
She rolled her eyes. Her conscience has been detailing all the good qualities of his nowadays.
Whereas Reyansh was a totally different case. He was literally behaving like a teenager who had developed a new and recent crush.
Everyone in the hospital was surprised to see him cheerful mood. He behaved extremely nice to everyone nowadays.
Everyone congratulated him when they got the news that he was getting married. He did not tell them his fiancee's name though.
He enjoyed how whenever someone teased him about his fiancee Ahana blushed and looked away.
**************************************
Time had passed very quickly much to everyone excitement. Tomorrow is the engagement and today everyone is going to the venue where the functions were going to be held.
At night Ahana and all of Reyansh's cousins were sitting together in Adi and Arnav's room. Reyansh was in the washroom when Viraj had went to call him.
They were teasing Ahana mercilessly. Just then the door opened and entered the cause of all those teasings.
"Wooohoooo!"
Everyone hooted as soon as he entered making Ahana blush and look away. He grinned like a fool and rubbed his neck sheepishly. They spent some time laughing, talking and teasing the couple. ************************************** Please do leave your comments.
