My Person

SIX

Riddhima pov :

I checked time, it was 3 in the morning and I was just tossing and turning in my bed. I couldn't sleep, maybe because of jet lag. I tried sleeping but I couldn't so I just watched a movie.

After the movie, I got up and made coffee for myself. It was 5 in the morning. I had my coffee. I was getting bored so I thought to go for a walk. Before going out, I checked on both Vihan and Kabir,both of them were asleep. So without waking anyone I wore my shoes and went out.

I don't know all the places, just know some of places. And one of them was a park. I remembered the road and started walking in that direction. I walked and walked. I looked around the road, it was not familiar. I panicked, I didn't bought my phone with me. Shit I never left or forget my phone but why today I didn't remember to bring it? Whyyy? I was cursing myself.

I started walking in the direction from where I came. After taking 2-3 turns, I again looked around. Still I was not in any familiar area. I was lost. I was on the verge to cry. Like a mad person I was walking and Looking in every direction to find familiar road. That's when I bumped into someone. I instantly look up and saw a man. He was looking back. I immediately apologise to him. He turned towards me, first thing that came to my mind seeing him was that he is really handsome. His dark black orbs, his hair, his physique, it was all perfect. But he looked angry. I could feel the dominant aura around him.

He asked me that if I need any help.I had hope seeing him. I wanted to use his phone to call someone from my family. But my gaze went from his face to his hands. It was painted in red, or was it blood. I saw few more red spots on his tshirt. I was hesitant seeing it. I denied his offer. Before he could further say anything, his phone rang and he immediately picked it up showing his back to me. I just wanted to run from there. I looked to my left and found it familiar. Without thinking anything I just run in that direction.

Now I can see many familiar buildings. I was relieved. But one thing was roaming in my mind Was that blood? No I wasn't. He could be a painter or maybe it was ketchup. It was not blood, I convinced my myself.

I saw my neighbourhood, I got soo happy and relieved. When I entered in my house, I saw Maa and Papa both were waiting for me. Were they angry? I hope not. Papa questioned me "Where were you?" They both were definitely angry. "I couldn't sleep so I went to take a walk" I answered him. He burst out at me saying "Are you out of your mind, This is not America. This is India. You went out that too alone. You could have taken Vihan or Kabir or even asked me, I would have also come with you." I just stood there with my head hung low. I quickly murmured a Sorry to them. He told me to go in my room. And i just did what I was told to do.

I sat on my bed feeling low. I didn't knew they will get angry on me for going for a walk. Yaa I know this is not America. But I love India soo much. I just hope Indian girls/women will also get freedom to go out whenever they want without getting scared. First day in India and you got scolded, great Riddhima. I got sad. I laid on my bed watching sealing. Suddenly I remembered the guy to whom I bumped. Now thinking about him scares me a little. Was he a criminal. I hope I don't bump into him again. What if he recognise me, no he won't Thank god I wore a mask because of which he didn't saw my face and he won't remember me. Thinking about every other possibility, I didn't know when I fall asleep.

I woke up and sat on my bed. Still feeling sleepy. It was almost 11 in the morning. I just sat there. I felt someone pulled my cheeks. It was Kabir, who was playfully pinching my cheeks. I glanced at him but didn't say anything. He knew something was wrong so he sat beside me.

"I know you are angry but they also scolded you because they care for you. They love you and they want to protect you." He said. I stopped him inbetween saying "Yaarr Kabir I'm not angry, I am just little bit sad. I didn't want to get scolded on the very first day. It's just that..., forget it. I don't wanna talk about that." He understood and didn't said anything further. After few seconds, he said "I am badly craving pani puri, let's do one thing you go get ready, we will go for a brunch." "Dekhte hai" I said teasing him. He immediately said "Dekhte hai nahi, we are going. Get ready fast, me and Vihan will be waiting for you downstairs." "Thike hai" I said with a smile. He again pulled my cheeks "Aise hi hasti reh mujhe accha nhi lagta tujhe sad dekh ke" saying this, He left. I genuinely smiled , I am very thankful to god that he gave me Kabir as my best friend. He is a true gentleman. He know how to make everyone happy. The one who is going to marry him, will be the Luckiest. He will definitely be a perfect husband.
