My Stubborn Love.

Chapter 44

Manik's POV

" You really had a crush on her, Viren Ji? "  Roshni asked.

" I think so... But I was only six years old at that time. " He said.

" And how old was she?? "  She asked.

Why was she so interested in his stupid crush story?

Was she falling for his charm?

" Twenty three may be. "  He said.

" So she was seventeen years older than you? " She asked with her beautiful eyes wide open with shock.

" So what?? She was still my first crush. " He said and she smiled.

" Can I ask you something?? Is an age gap of 7-8 years too much for a couple? Would their relationship not work?? " She asked. And immediately I could feel three sets of eyes on my face.

Two sets of them belonged to Shlok and Shaurya and the third one was of Roshni.

Oh, God!!! Is she never going to leave that topic?

" It's not like that, if you really love someone, the age gap doesn't matter. It all depends on the understanding between the couple. " Viren said getting serious for once.

Why did he have to say that??

" Yes, I also thought so... " Roshni said with a broad smile.

" Hey, don't tell me, you are having a crush on me?? " Viren asked with a broad smile.

Idiot!!

" Don't be absurd, bhai. " Sahaj said.

Right!!! But what was his problem now?? Was he interested in her?

" She asked me so it must be me. " Viren said with a smile.

" No, Viren Ji!! I was just asking as you told your experience. "

" Then it must be me, I am also  7-8 years older than her. "  Ron said with a wink.

What had gotten in all of them??

" So is Shaurya and I... "  Viren said.

" But she just said it's not you... and she had called Shaurya as bhaiya yesterday. So it is me. " Ron said with a broad smile. 

" No, Ron Ji, please stop teasing me, all of you. And tell me, how can someone prove that he/she is serious about the relationship and in love for real?? How can you prove the intensity of your love for that someone special? " She asked again, avoiding looking at me. But I knew, it was aimed at me.

What was she doing?? How could she ask that?

" Are you already in love with someone, sweetheart?? You broke my heart. " Viren said.

" Mine too... " Ron also said making a fake sad face.

" Oh, it is not like that, I am too young and stupid to understand love, I was asking as I saw a movie recently and was trying to understand it in a better way." She said.

" Thank God!!" Sahaj said loudly. And ron and Viren hit him.

Punch him hard from my side too. Idiot!

" C'mon friends, have breakfast before it gets cold, Maharaj Ji and his team have been working on it for hours and the aroma has made me go crazy, I am really hungry," I said to change the topic.

"  Same here, and if our beautiful Rosh had prepared anything out of these, I would love to try it. " Ron said.

" Try these, I made them. " She said and served Handvo and Thepla to Viren and Sahaj who were sitting on either side of her.
