THE HIDDEN HALF

Chapter 12 : Do you hate me?

A/N (IMPORTANT)

Hey everyone! Before we begin I want to share three important things with you all...

# This update marks the second anniversary of my writing career. Exactly two years ago, on this day I posted the prologue of my first ff Mileya Mileya 🎉🎆🎇🎊 Thanks for bearing me for all this while 😂😂😂 I'm holding an interactive session for celebrating two years of MM in the edited version of the same story, that is, To You, My Heart I Surrender. If you want to ask me any questions regarding anything, feel free to check the latest chapter of the book. I would be more than glad to answer your questions.

# Second, a huge thanks to all of you who have voted for my stories in the Swasan Fandom Awards organized by @Einsfriendm4. If you still haven't voted and feel that my stories are worthy of it then please do vote. The voting lines are open till 3rd of March. That would really mean a lot to me.

# And right now I got to know that Mitwaa has won the The Literary Awards 2017 in the Fanfiction category. That was totally unexpected and I'm really very happy. Congratulations to all the Mitwaa lovers.

*** CHAPTER 12 ***

"Fighting others might be easy but fighting your own self is the hardest."

No matter how hard he is trying these new feelings budding inside his heart are debilitating Vidhaan beyond measures. Every time his eyes land on her he feels his heart twitch. It's wrong. He is not supposed to feel anything for her but he couldn't help but... feel. And this feeling is becoming unbearably painful with every passing moment. He is expected to help her retrieve her lost memories and then leave. But apparently, it's going to be harder than he has thought. This girl is driving him insane.

How is he supposed to leave after having felt the way he did seeing her an hour ago at the doorstep of their room! One look at her and he is still trying to calm down his erratically thumping heart.

They have reached the party venue about thirty minutes ago and ever since then Swara is with Ragini and Sujata, whereas Vidhaan is with the host of the party, Mr. Khanna and some other business delegates. But even then he couldn't help but steal glances without getting noticed by her.

He tilts his head a little again to look at Swara but immediately regrets it on seeing Annapurna storming his way. Her enraged features send jitters down his body and he silently prays to God.

Please don't say it that she has seen him glancing at Swara!

But apparently God isn't in a mood to listen to him right now!

"Shlok! Can I talk to you for a minute, Son?", Annapurna's calm yet warning tone makes Vidhaan gulp down nervously.

Vidhaan: S-Sure, Maa!

She glares at him discreetly and turns around on her heels without saying anything, expecting him to follow. And Vidhaan just follows her like a lost puppy with his head bowed down. Just as they reach outside the party hall to a much secluded place, Annapurna turns around sharply and Vidhaan flinches back.

Vidhaan: Is-Is everything okay?

He just hopes so!

Annapurna: Oh really! That's exactly what I'm asking you. Is everything okay?

Vidhaan: I'm sorry. I don't know what you are talking about.

Annapurna: What's going on between you and Swara?
