Falling In Love With You

Part 8

Avu- Will you answer me if I ask who you are and why did you help me, even when you don't know a single thing about me?
He looked at her where his eyes wanted to confess how badly he has fallen for her, even though he doesn't know her. 

He scratched his own neck diverting the gaze from her. 
Sid- What is the rush to speak about every queries today itself? 

She smiled as she didn't have any point to refuse his statement. She wanted to know why a stranger helped her out of nowhere, but she wanted to trust him. She doesn't expect something worse to happen. Her life has already been horrific, and she has somewhere accepted that, she lucky enough to experience happiness. 
She tries to find happiness in every small things, but there is a limit. Her patience has come to an end. She isn't as bubbly and cheerful she used to be. 

Sid- Where are you lost? 
Avu- N-no where. 

Sid- Would you like to have a rest for today or shall we meet one of my brother? 
Avu- I don't really like resting anymore as all I could do in the locked room is sitting and laying down. We can meet your brother if you aren't tired.

Sid- I ain't. Lets go then. 
He sat on the driver's seat.

Avu- May... May I sit beside you? Actually... if they finds me... in the back seat. 
Sid(smile)- Sure. 

He jumped down and help her get up as the seat was high. He climbed back and drove off to his favourite tea stall.

Sid- You stay in, Let me surprise him okay?
Avu- B...but if t-they c-comes to find me? 

Sid- They will not be able to find you. 
He assured her with a smile. 
 
Sid- I will be quick I swear. 
She nodded though she wasn't too confident about stay alone even for two minutes as she was afraid Asmit's men will find her and take her back to that hell. 

Siddharth has kept his truck at a distance from the stall. Abhishek had already noticed it. 

Abhi- Look who came? 
Sid- Bhaiya meri jaan!!! (My brother, oh my life...)

Abhi- Aish, stop flirting. 
Sid- Oh come on, guess whom I have brought with me? 

Abhi- Your truck what else? 
Siddharth flipped his hair flexing. 

Sid- Nah, I brought someone you are familiar to. 
Abhi- Huh? 

Sid- That angel of my dreams...
He said while getting lost in his dreamland. 

Sid- I brought her with me. 
Abhishek's eyes widened. 

Abhi- Didn't you say that she was an abused girl and was sold to Asmit's company? 
Sid- Come on brother dear... 

Sid(smirk)- I kidnapped her from Asmit. 
Abhi- WHAT?  DID YOU SAY WHAT I HEARD? 

Sid- Yes dear... 
Siddharth trusts him and he knows Abhishek won't give any information if Asmit's men asks for her to him. 

Abhi- You fool! Where is she? Bring her immediately!!! 
Sid- Yes Boss!

Abhi- Wait wait wait, is my hair okay? Should I change my dress? Aish what should I give her? 

Sid- Bhaiya, she is mine not yours! (pout) Why are you preparing to present yourself as a perfect man? 

He received a smack from Abhishek. 
Sid- Ouch!

Abhi- Do I have to remind you that I have a girlfriend? I don't want to set a bad impression to my sister. 
Sid- Whatever, I am bringing her. 

Abhi- Quick!
He ordered while setting his hair. 

Siddharth ran to his truck where Avneet was sitting with anxiety. She was fearing if Asmit's men comes any moment. 

Sid- You can come down. 
She sighed of relief seeing him. 

He extended his hand towards her to help her jump down. Her heart skipped a beat. She hesitated but she wasn't uncomfortable. She held his hand and jumped down. 

Sid- Let's go. 
His warm smile somewhat reduced her anxiety. 

They went to Abhsihek's stall. Avneet was a little scared to meet new people as she didn't know Siddharth's intention. She wanted to trust Siddharth but her past experiences will not let her trust people so easily. 

Siddharth whistled to catch Abhishek's attention and flex. Abhishek was boiling his most rated tea for his brother's crush. 

When Abhishek turned and saw Avneet, he mesmerized by the pretty girl. He mourned noticing how scared the girl was. She wasn't even looking into his eyes. 
He smiled and went to her. She took two steps back a little closer to Siddharth. 

Abhi- You must be Avneet. 
She nodded looking here and there. 

Abhi- Myself Abhishek. If you don't mind, will you be my sister? 
Avneet looked at Abhishek with frightened eyes. She looked down immediately. 

Sid- He is my like my brother... my only companion here, in Hyderabad. 
Abhi- I know that you were abused.. Don't worry dear, I will not harm you ever.

Abhishek doesn't know why but he was feeling a sudden urge to hold the girl closer to him and protect that precious innocent girl from the cruel world. 

Avu- S-sure... 
Abhi- Don't feel scared dear, I will not even scold you. I ain't that scary come on. 

He noticed his kettle that screamed the tea was done. 
He quickly served three cups. 

 Abhi- Here, have my famous tea. 
He said forwarding a cup towards Avneet. 

She looked down. 
"Did he mix something?"

Siddharth could understand that Avneet would take some time to over come her fear but he was feeling bad for Abhishek, who was trying his best to make her comfortable. 

Sid- Take the tea, he isn't a bad person. 
Avneet took the tea. 

Abhi- Woah, don't you do anything unless he says it? Hmm, Siddharth dear, did you spellbound her? 
Avu- N...O... 
She said softly. 

Abhishek passed a cup of tea to Siddharth and took one for himself. They chatted for sometimes and Avneet felt comfortable with Abhishek. 

It was already getting dark so they thought to take a leave. 

Abhi- Goodbye, Do visit often Avneet. 
She smiled.

Abhi- And you better bring her to meet me, or else I will shave your eye brows. 
Abhishek was a funny person. And when Siddharth collaborated with him, the conversation always looks hilarious...

Sid- Oops, can't risk that. 
Abhi- Better not. 

Avneet smiled again. She loved how well these two bonded. They went to their truck and Siddharth went to the jungle where there was least human interfere.

Sid- You must apply this ointment. There are a lot of mosquitoes here.
Avu- Why don't you have a home? 

Sid- Who said I don't? I have my mom who is waiting for me. I really want to meet her, but I can't see her soon. 

She gave a "why" look to him. 
Sid- No one except you and Abhishek Bhaiya knows that I am not an orphan. 

Siddharth then explained her the regulations to stay in the truck and the precautions to take. Abhishek had packed them some food, and they had it lighting up a fire. 

Siddharth laid down on the soft mattress that he has laid on his truck. He had only one pillow. He gave it to Avneet even though she refused. They slept maintaining a distance. 

"Thank you for bringing her into my life god. Please grant me the powers to protect her from every evil powers. Let me love her once." he prayed.
A smile appeared on his lips. 
His dream of being with her came true. His angel is laying just beside him.

She had closed her eyes but didn't fall asleep yet. 
"I hope I am not trusting the wrong person. I smiled so much today...after so long. Oh lord, please do not wake me up if this is a dream. I don't want to get back to that hell." she prayed. 

Under the moonlight, the two young souls kept thinking about each other...while one thought how better her life has gotten in just one day and she wanted to have his side forever, the other smiled being able to bring a smile on his lover's face. 
May the god bless these pure souls.
