" It's been I don't know how many days since you spoke a damn word, what is it with you" asked a concerned Meera , raising both her eyebrows at her elder brother Surya who looked bothered
" What's wrong? I'm perfectly fine" he forced a wide smile which made him only look like a trained air hostess
" Fine don't tell me, but atleast let's go out. They've opened their first Coldstone ice cream outlet in chennai in EA "
Surya wasn't in the mood to fight his sister and he thought ice cream would vanish his disappointment or maybe cure his heart ache
" Fine"
" I'm driving" Meera ran to get the car keys
Surya was looking out of the car window but his mind went back to that day when he tried to kiss her. How her father- in - law barged inside the house but ofcourse it's his future daughter in law's place, how did you bloody forget that! , Facing the fiance of Roshni after what he was about to do made him flush ,he was utterly disappointed with himself for his behavior, taking advantage of an emotionally weak woman.
Damn seeing it this way makes me feel like a Casanova villain. He couldn't stop the disgusting feeling he felt in his gut and there he decided to never contact her, he had wronged her , an engaged woman who would have got married to another man if not for her father's health but it bothered him . She bothered him
Roshni was sitting in her father's office sipping her coffee, reading the newspaper. Only if any interesting news on the paper could make the guilt she had vanish away. If not for Mohan uncle carelessly walking in , you would have surely ... Roshni closed her eyes at the thought of kissing him. She wasn't sure what bothered her more: him thinking how cheap she is or never trying to contact him again. He would surely think I'm a bloody slut she silently sobbed crumpling the newspaper, she suddenly felt the urge tell him it was a mistake just a big one and that she's happily engaged to Vikram or not , on that day when she saw Vikram after so many days she wasn't surprised or happy but shocked ,the situation she was in maybe one of the biggest factor but that ecstatic feeling around the doctor , the weak knees and light headedness !? , How is it even sane she thought . All her life Roshni has only taken sane and right decisions, decisions that a responsible girl would make but that day when she went for the date or when she leaned in to kiss Surya she felt happy and not responsible. Bursting her train of thoughts she took out her mobile and searched the doctor's name in her contacts.
just call him and tell him it was all a mistake and that you're terribly sorry for what happened, she advised herself mentally. Unable to gather the courage to call she pressed the phone to the nook of her nose , sighing she looked at the screen but a call to Dr.Surya was already made, she blinked at the screen blankly unable to make a decision but it was too late because Surya had accepted her call
"Hello" his voice was a little shaken by her sudden call
Mentally cursing herself she answered" hello , actually I called by mistake" in the background she could here some girl shrieking in joy,it was so loud " look I got two free ice creams, I'm so lucky that too cheesecake -" " give me a minute " he retorted to her " sorry for that, anyways it's ok " and that's how the conversation ended with no apologies , Roshni was curious to know with whom he has gone , maybe he also has someone in his life like me or maybe it's his sister or a friend.She was thinking about where she read about free ice creams and she remembered what she read in the newspaper the opening of Coldstone in Chennai , without another thought she sat on her car and drove to Express Avenue. Her mind was having a battle of it's own , she wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, go and ambush him when she didn't have the guts to tell him on phone ,how will she tell it to him in person. After searching him in the food court for fifteen minutes she spotted him near the restroom , she pretended to be casual but her heart was beating faster than a marathon winner .She slowly walked past him and he finally saw her and their eyes met, she could sense the guilt in his eyes, he lowered his gaze and closed his lips tightly, gathering the courage to apologise to her " Roshni I'm sorry for what I did, it was a mistake"
Roshni was a little shocked and disappointed with his words because he thinks it was a mere mistake and nothing else but she reminded herself that these were exactly what she was going to say to him in the first place
" no please don't apologise , it's my mistake actually " she replied
" We will just have to forget it and move on" he said smiling, trying to be casual but he still couldn't forget how close she was and her fragrance that smothered the logic in him that day nor how lush her lips are even today
"Definitely we should " except she could never stop remembering that day ,she smiled back
" You're here alone ?"
" Oh no no, my sister's in the restroom"
"Ok see you later" she turned around
" Wait weren't you heading to the restroom? " He questioned
Roshni completely forgot her act, she truned again smiling sheepishly
" Yes yes, how stupid of me" she walked to the restroom.
The confusion has been cleared, he doesn't think you're a slut and the problem is over yet the heart isn't at ease, Roshni thought that she could hide her feelings from herself but she couldn't,she wanted to tell him it never was a mistake atleast for her.
A few days have passed but Dr Surya thought that saying sorry was going to change the way he felt about her but his longing for her only grew more . He was sitting in the cafe near her house sipping coffee , he was in a dilemma to wether call her for coffee or not .
You aren't supposed to meet her but what if she comes here herself he thought , enough of dumb thoughts he scolded himself. He reached for the wallet in his pocket but found it empty. He had forgotten his wallet at home , he ringed Meera but she didn't respond . He didn't know who to call , he thought he should call Roshni and ask her money, the thought itself was more than embarrassing for him so he picked up the phone to call one if his colleagues and exactly at that time Roshni walked in , he was happy at the same time flushed to see her, Roshni's heart rate picked up once again at the sight of Surya, she smiled at him and walked to his table and asked
" won't you buy me a coffee " thinking of their first meeting
Surya chuckled smoothly " I'm afraid I can't but you have to buy me one"
His voice was husky yet smooth and his rhythmical chuckle was so sexy she got immersed in it
" I take it that you won't" he smiled again
" Wait sorry , I was thinking about something else" like your sexy voice , you're becoming very cheap Roshni she thought
" ofcourse I would"
" Hah , I actually forgot my wallet at home that's why, this is actually embarrassing "
" Please you're the one whose always helping me and I think I deserve a chance too"
" I have no choice"
They sat and Roshni ordered a cappuccino
" So when is the date"
"The date for ?"
"For your wedding"
Roshni felt very irritated by the question ,she stood up
" Is everything alright, any problem with the wedding"
" Do you need any help" he asked with concern but his words only irked her more , him asking about her wedding bluntly hurt her, it's not like you are past lovers she reminded herself
" No no, I need to go" she kept two hundred rupees on the table and stormed out. Unable to understand what went wrong he ran behind her. He called out her name but she ignored, he grabbed her by the arm and stopped her , she was looking down unable to meet his eyes for her childish behavior, controlling the tears of frustration and anger,
" Roshni... Roshni! Look at me and tell me what's wrong" he clasped her face gently forcing her to look at him , she slowly opened her eyes and a tear trickled down
" It's nothing, I'm sorry for my behavior " she replied shedding another tear , she took another step to walk away , Surya yet again stopped her " wait, please tell me"
" Am I the problem"
" I'm sorry for that day, I truly am"
His words only pissed her off more and more " please just let me go"
She told him and he let go of her hand
" ok but please don't cry , whatever it is it'll end up good"
Roshni is basically a goody two shoes herself but today seeing Surya like this irked her, the pressure of her wedding nearing; the thought of Surya never leaving her mind made her snap
" You want to know what's my problem, you are ! Why did you take me to that stupid date? and why did you try to kiss me?. I'm going to get married in a month or two and I - I " she sobbed
" I cannot stop thinking about you but now you're trying to be the good guy whose concerned about my wedding, the hell you are" she let the tears flow freely, she didn't care anymore of how he would or the world would think about her, the anger and tightness in her chest was atleast relieved and she felt light but she felt stripped for abruptly letting him know all that she felt , wiping her tears she ran to her car. Surya was standing dumbfounded on the pavement , all that he could think of was the fact she likes him and she's unable to get him out of her head
