Rainbow of our Love

Chapter 43

It was seven in the evening. Anvesha was sitting in her apartment after a tiring journey. The trip with Adhyayan to Lansdowne, the unspoiled town was truly amazing.

The couple indeed, enjoyed themselves and made beautiful memories together. Looking at her phone and swiping the pictures, she smiled glancing at a candid shot of her with her doting boyfriend at Tip N Top. She forwarded the picture to her mother who was delighted at the progress of their relationship.

Adhyayan and Anvesha had reached Delhi in the afternoon. Dropping her at her place, Adhyayan drove to his penthouse.

Anvesha urged to call Adhyayan and talk to him. She was sort of missing him and his adorable talks but she knew, he was tired and he must be sleeping after driving continuously for eight hours. She flustered reminiscing their sweet moments together.

Her thoughts drifting to Adhyayan’s confession about his family relations. Anvesha was thinking how to mend the relations of the father-son duo, when her phone rang. She smiled looking at the caller ID.

“Hello”, she chirped. It was a long ago when she last talked to her brother.

“Hey, Anvesha. How are you doing?” Hruday, who was planning a trip to Delhi, asked his younger sister. He surely missed her but he did not have the heart to clip her wings and ask her to revert back especially when she was at the peak of her career. His baby sister was doing well miles away from him and he was happy for her. Being an entrepreneur, things were not easy for him. He could not find time for his family. For some business purpose, he was visiting Delhi and looking forward to meet his sister.

“I am doing good, dada. How are you?” she said. Exchanging pleasantries, they talked about their lives. Anvesha was delighted to know that her brother would be visiting her on coming Thursday. Happily Anvesha made up her mind to tell her brother about Adhyayan.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “Hruday da, I need to tell you something”, as her heartbeat raced. She knew her brother would never reprimand her for anything but after Vipin, she kept a room for doubts and negativity.

“What is it, Anu? Is everything fine?” Hruday asked panicking. Thousands of thoughts came in his mind. He wondered if his baby sister was suffering with some hardships. Being an awesome elder brother, Hruday was concerned of his sister’s safety and well-being. He could sense seriousness in her voice and it was natural for him to get worried.

“Dada, I am dating someone”, Anvesha spoke fumbling. She was anticipating a positive reaction from her brother.

“Who is he and what does he do? Is he a sensible one?” Hruday bombarded questions to his sister in a calm tone. Internally he felt happy to know that his sister had completely moved on over her previous relationship.

A smile crept on her lips as Anvesha said, “He is Adhyayan Joshi, the chef whom mummy loves! He is truly a gentleman. You will meet him when you will come here”. She could sense the faint laughter of her brother who welcomed the news.

“I can relish some lip-smacking meals then”, Hruday spoke as he chuckled. Having met Adhyayan once in person, he found him to be an interesting man. He was happy for his sister and somewhere, proud of Anvesha’s choice.

With a hearty laughter, they chit-chatted a bit when Anvesha told her brother about Adhyayan’s parents and his relationship with his father.

“Dada, I want to mend their relationship but I don’t know how to. His mother and his sister miss him. His father has held his ego while he is waiting for his father to break the ice.” Anvesha told to her elder brother who sighed exasperatedly pitying Adhyayan for once.
