Lost

Aahana p.o.v:

Two weeks later:

The clock strikes seven. I stuffed the remaining food in my plate into my mouth hurriedly. And went back to my nest before he comes back from work.

After that day. I don't even want to face him. I made myself non existing for him. I come out of my room when he leaves for the office. And eat dinner before he comes.

There are days when he came early. I didn't dare to come out and slept with empty stomach. It was fine until my growling stomach woke me up in the mid nights.
I didn't miss the pity eyes of laksmi when I  hurried for breakfast next morning.

I opened this book Mahaswetha to read.  It was written by the Sudha murthy,chairperson of infosys.

"Love is not a commodity that you can buy after putting it to test. It is not something that you can buy after consulting others. It is not sold in the market for money. When you see a man and your pulse starts racing, your blood begins to sing and you yearn to spend the rest of your life with him, sharing his joys and sorrows – that is love. It is irrepressible; it cannot be crushed under any circumstances."

His image flashed in my brain.
Do my pulse raise by seeing Abhay?

Yes... But with what?.  I sighed and closed the book. Then I heard the main door opening.  I quietly switched of the light and lied on bed.

Then I heard the door connecting to Abhays room sliding . I stayed still on the bed with my heart beat raising.

See. He is raising your heartbeat.
My subconscious joked.

One part wanted me to get up and face him. Other one reminding how the last meetings ended.

He switched on the lights. I stil acted like sleeping.

He cleared his throat. I stayed still.he was silent for a minute.

"Aa...Aahana." He called. Thats the first time he called me.

This time my heart beat raised with a new rhythm.

"Aahana." I felt his hand on my shoulder. Then I sat up in jet speed panting.

I sat properly adjusting my dress. And looked at me.

"My uncle and his family are coming to India tomorrow. We have to go and receive them. We have to be in airport by 4:30am. Wake up soon."  He said and turned back to leave.

Before leaving he switched off the lights.I smiled. Don't know why.

He talked a bit nicer.I slept recalling his every word. I don't say they are sweet at least not harsh.

Then I woke up again to keep alarm.
