Miss Introvert? [COMPLETED ✔]

CHAPTER 30

[Aditi ]
I popped up my eyelids only to lay them on the clock. Holy fuck! It was 10.30 AM. For how long did I sleep? Anyways... This is not the time to think about all this. I hurried myself to the washroom and then went down to make myself a cup of coffee. Then I went to my work. I returned at nearly 4 PM. It was my good luck that my manager, i.e., Rachel wasn't present or else I would be her raw supper. However, as I went inside the house I saw everyone was in haste and were preparing for something. "Going out? ", I asked Darsh. "Yup.. And u r also going with us", he replied. "What?! No way.. ", I said turning back. "Yes way", he said smiling. "But it's your family plan.. U all go.. Y r u dragging me into this? ", I protested. "I don't know anything.. U r coming and that's final", he said stubbornly. It was of no use fighting with him. So I agreed. As we entered the mall, nostalgia hit me hard. When I was a child, I would often come to the mall with my mom for different occasions. But after she went, I had rarely ever visited a mall. I didn't have enough money at the moment to buy new dresses and borrowing money from them doesn't seem nice to me. So I walked out and stood in a corner while the family continued with their shopping. I busied myself into my phone. "Here u see... We came for shopping for this girl.. And she is here busy with her phone... ", I heard Darshan say. "Come on girl... ", he said holding my hands even before I could protest. His mom chose a beautiful yellow colour floral gown for me which was selling for ₹2000. I guess, I could afford it at least. "U will look very pretty in this... Why don't u try it..? ", aunty insisted. The whole family is so stubborn! I went into the changing room and tried it. It was the perfect dress I had always dreamt of buying. After a while I went out and called out Darshan. He came and was looking at me from head-to-toe. "Gosh! Did God send a fairy to the earth? ", he said dramatically which made me laugh a bit. After a while aunty came and gawked at me in surprise. "I knew it would suit u the best! ", she said. I smiled continuously. "And with that smile, u look killer! ", Darshan whispered in my ears. This was enough to bring a big ear-to-ear smile on my face. I decided to take the dress. After changing into my regular outfit, I came out. I saw them discussing something at the corner. I just asked them, "Should we go? ". "R u shopping only one dress? It is so different than other typical girls.... When I go out for shopping with my sister, I would have 3 bags full of accessories in my hand and you.... ", he said signalling me to shop more but I don't think I had enough cash ready at the moment... But then it struck me that I still had my credit card with me. So I joined them but didn't do much shopping. At the counter when I was paying my bill I heard uncle say, "Beta... Why r you paying the bill?? U r like our daughter... So as we pay Darshan's bill, we will pay yours too". "No uncle.. It's fine... I can do it", I said as I flashed a smile. "No... U can do it but u won't do it", aunty said sternly and I couldn't oppose. It was my problem. I couldn't oppose the people whom I love. We headed back home and as we reached I threw myself on the sofa. "Tired? ", darshan asked. "Nope... Happy... I went for shopping with family after nearly a decade", I said and he furrowed his brows and asked, "only family? ". I fell numb. I couldn't call his family as mine own completely.... It was awkward for me now. He smiled and said, "Just wear the yellow gown u bought... We r going out for dinner ". "Really... Where?", I jumped with excitement like a 10 year old and as I realised how I was reacting I corrected myself, "I mean.... U guys r going, r8? " now with a serious note. "Nope.... We all are going and in that 'we' u r also coming... So be prepared by 9", he said in a long stretch and I didn't argue.... It was pointless in doing so...
