Dhruv pov...
It was early in the morning I wake up so I decided to go for a jog. I went into my bathroom and finished my daily routine. I wear track suit and taken my mobile, ear pods. I started jogging after 1 hour I decided to go home.
When I was at the door I heard my mom telling maid's to what to prepare for breakfast. I back hugged her "good morning mom" I said.
" Good morning dhruv" she said while smiling at me.
I love her smile, whenever I feel down I remember her smiling face. In an instant my mood will become happy. I think no one can smile like her. She was best.
"Dhruv today afternoon your uncle's family is coming to have lunch with us. So be ready ok"
" Ok mom" I said and went to my room.
Uncle's family means those two monkeys also come.
What your has monkeys.
Yes,he has two monkeys. One is Akash and another is Akshaya.
What, isn't it your cousin's name.
Yes, of course.
So you are telling that your cousin's are monkeys.
Trust me they are more than that.
It was already lunch time. I was in my room going through a file and I listen to some noises are coming from living room,and I'm sure that my monkeys are arrived.
I put my file on the table and went downstairs. I see my monkeys are quarreling over something. I just shook my head, because I know that they are quarreling over something stupid.
" If you both stop quarreling, I want to hug my monkeys," I said gaining there attention.
They stopped listening to my voice,and tilted there head to me. That's it,I heard a loud scream.
They both hugged me,I hugged them.
"I missed you bro" Akash said while breaking hug,and smiled to me.
"No bro I missed you so much" Akshaya said and I just shook my head.
"I missed you both"I said while walking towards dinning table.
"No bro, you missed me only not this Akash" Akshaya said while pouting.i just shook my head for her childish behaviour.
"Ok I just missed you my cupcake" I said while taking a seat at dinning table. I seen her face and I frozen. She started crying,why is she crying. I stood up,cupped her face and asked.
" What happened cupcake why are you crying. Does anyone said anything to you,or this Akash said anything. Just tell me cupcake." I asked her while glaring at Akash.
"No bro I didn't said anything to her" Akash said in his defense.
" No bro he didn't said anything to me. Actually you said my nickname after a long time,and listening to that I just got emotional" she said while wiping her tears.
God really.
I think she loves you.
Yes I know that.
We all had lunch not in silence. These monkeys really don't act like a grown up. After lunch we talked about some random things. I seen time it was 6 in the evening so I decided to go because I have to attend party. I went in to my room,I took a quick shower. I decided to wear my navy blue suit,light blue shirt. I was ready,I seen my reflection in the mirror and I'm satisfied by my look.
Looking handsome man,girls will drool over you today.
Well they don't have anywork,so they just ogle at me.
That's mean.
Not at all, trust me.
"My son is looking handsome as all ways " I heard my mom's voice. She came inside my room, seated on my bed and patted beside her. Telling me to take a seat.
I seated beside her," mom do you want to talk to me about anything" I asked her,she was hesitating for something and I can see that in her eyes.
"Dhruv... When do you planning to get married"she asked me the most irritating question and I know I was angry. But I controlled my anger because she was right in her position.
All parents wants to see there children to get married and live there life happily. But not me I just don't want to marry anyone.
" No mom I will not marry" I said while controlling my anger.
"But why dhruv, just because she left you that doesn't mean that you have to live your whole life like this"
" Mom please"
"What please dhruv..... Do you remember when did you smiled"
"I know son,I know that you loved her so much. But that is her life to decide whether to stay with you are leave you. I really don't know what happened between you two to break up but it is her decision,son. Please don't hurt yourself because of that"she said while taking my hands in her.
"She left me because I don't have money at that time mom.she chosen another guy over me just for money mom." I said actually it was first time I said to someone that she left me just for money, freaking money.
"What"she was shocked. I can say that seeing her.
"Yes mom"
"For money she left you and chosen another guy over you"
I just nodded my head. I heard my mom laughing.
"Dhruv you are so lucky,that she left you"
"What...."it was now my turn to ask her that
"Yes son trust me. She don't deserve your love son. Your love deserve for a girl who loves you unconditionally." She said while I just chuckled at her words.
"Mom you don't know anything about nowadays girls,they doesn't love people they only love money. Who has more money they love them."
"No dhruv you are wrong,she left you for money it doesn't mean that all girls are like that only. I know some girls will pick money over love but there are so many girls who will know the value of love and I'm sure that they will pick only love."
"Just trust me son, please marry. I will find out that girl for you who can love my son unconditionally. Her first priority will be my son only. Please dhruv just say yes,I Will find that girl." She said by seeing in to my eyes.
" No mom I will not get married and that's my final decision" I was fuming with anger and I shouted at her.
Realization passed me when I heard my mom sobbing. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, after some time I became normal. I turned to my mom's said I taken her hands in me.
"I'm sorry mom..... Please don't cry ok I will marry. But just give me some time." I said seeing in her eyes.
" Ok dhruv.... I'm not telling you to marry now just take your time" she said while wiping her tears. I just nodded my head.
"Ok mom now smile,I have to go for a party"
She smiled a little"ok go and enjoy. By the way if you like any girl in that party just tell me"she said and chuckled. I just shook my head for her.
Now I'm in the party hall,it was well organized. I was searching for Mr and Mrs Patil to greet them. I can see many girls in the party started ogling at me but I didn't given a damn to them. I seen me and Mrs Patil so I started walking towards them.
"Wish you happy wedding anniversary Mr and Mrs Patil" I greeted them and handed them bouquet which I brought with me. I think they didn't recognize me,they were seeing me from tip to toe.
"Well young man thanks. But I'm sorry I didn't recognize you"Mr Patil said.
"That's ok,I'm Dhruv Raj son of Anand Raj" I introduced myself.
"Oh my god, you are Anands son I just can't believe. You are grown up man." Uncle said,I just pursed my lips for that comment.
"I seen you when you are 2 years old. Before shifting to London. So I'm sorry. " uncle said and shrugged his shoulders.
"It's really ok Mr Patil".
"Don't call me Mr Patil or uncle,just call me Rajesh" uncle said while aunt just shook her head.
We are talking some random stuff and I heard someone congratulating them and they turned to face that person. I can't see her face because I was back of uncle and aunt she was at front.
"Well after a long time I seen a genuine smile" uncle said to her.
"That's a big complement uncle and I can't take it.so please call the ambulance" she said to uncle.
Listening to that I smiled a little.
What you just smiled.
A little.
It doesn't matter,you remember what mom said . You didn't laughed after she left you,this was the first time.
May be.
They are all also laughed,and I can say that her voice was lovely.
Ohoooo, lovely.
Shut it.
"Nit don't call me uncle you know I hate it. When someone call me"uncle said to her and she chuckled.
Nice.
Ohoooo nice also,ok.
Stop.
"Ahhhh don't laugh like that nit"uncle said.
What,why
"What, why" she asked the same question.
Wow, telepathy are something.
You are irritating me.
Really,I love it then.
"You know in this party there are so many boys. If you laugh like this then all boys Start ogling at you and I can't stand seeing it" uncle said and I think that's right.
Of course it is right.
"Why are you this late nit. I'm very upset with you"aunty said to her.
"Sorry... You know Hyderabad traffic. Actually the whole universe wants to stop me to come here. But I said no I have to attend the party at any cost. So I pushed whole universe to one side and came to the party". She said
God I laughed to that,she is something man.
Yes, really she is something.
Yep.
They both also laughed.
"Ok now happy wedding anniversary" she said and hugged both at a time.
"Thank you nit" they both said.
Uncle seen me,and moved to side. Now I can see her. Wow she is cute,she is wearing pink dress,it fully covered her body. Really it's fully covered I just can see her face and hands.
"Well nit this is Dhruv Raj,my friends son and business partner also"uncle introduced me.
"Dhruv this is Nithya my son's friend and mine also"he introduced her to me.
So her name was Nithya,Good name.
Lovely,nice, cute and good haaa.
I held my hand to shake when she touched my hand I feel like electricity passed my body.
What was that I never felt that before.
Yes, I'm sure that you never had that feel. God it's something special.
I brushed my feelings and said
"Nice to meet you Nithya" she smiled and said
"Nice to meet you to Mr Dhruv" she said and taken her hand back.
I smiled a little thinking that maybe she also feel something.
God,you are something haaa.
"Where is Rohan"she asked.
Rohan, now who is this Rohan.
I think he is your rival.
What rival, what the hell are you talking.
Come on you don't have to act. Besides that's not important now. Now most important thing is that who is Rohan.
Ok I think I heard his name.
When,where. Come on think about it.
If you keep it shut then only I can think. So shut it ok.
Ok I'm silent now,think.
Yeah I remember him.
What you remember him tell me who is he.
God, he is Mr and Mrs Patil's only son.
What, is he her boyfriend.
How should I know that.
You don't know this small news,how could you win her then.
What why should I have to win her. I don't like her. I just met her for god sake.
Really but I don't think so.
"There" uncle and aunt said and pointed there finger to a person. I can't see his face his back is facing me.
So he is your rival man.
Stop it not again.
He is surrounded by a bunch of girls. I see Nithya's face she just shook her head.
"Well uncle and aunt I go and meet him" she said to them and seen me "excuse me" she said to me,and towards him.
Don't excuse her,stop her man.
No way.
Your wish but don't tell me that I didn't warn you.
Ok.
She tapped on his shoulder and he turned and said something to her to which she smiled. Seeing her smiling corners of my mouth raised.
Yes and that's called as smile.
Ok I smiled seeing her smile. But why?
Because....
Zip it up.
Before my inner voice tell something stupid ,I stopped it.
You regret it later.
He hugged her. But why, how could she allow anyone to hug her.
Aaaaa jealous haaa.
He pull her to a corner by her wrist. No one can see anything by that corner.
What the fuck is wrong with him. How could he pull her to a corner. I was fuming with anger,I want to go there and slap him hard on the face.
Right go and get her man.
Before I could go Rajesh uncle called me to meet some of his business partners. I think that would be great because I don't know there relationship. May be they are boyfriend and girlfriend.
No just go to her.
I didn't listen to my inner voice once again. Thinking about that they might be boyfriend and girlfriend. I was angry,I can feel my heart was empty. But why?
Because you like her stupid.
What like her stop it.
Then what about that feeling. Can you explain it?
Maybe I'm single that's the reason. All here are present with partners. I'm here all alone.
I was meeting Rajesh uncle's business partners. But from corners of my eyes I can see Nithya she is smiling.while her one hand is holding Rohan hand. There pair is nice they suit eachother very well.
"Dhruv let me introduce you to my son come. He is there standing" uncle said and I just nodded my head as yes.
"Nit what are you doing with him"uncle asked to Nithya. She was about to speak,this idiot Rohan interrupted her.
Oooo so Rohan is an idiot haaaa.
Much more than that.
God you are jealous man.
Cut it.
"Dad who is he" Rohan asked seeing me.
Your enemy,soon to snatch your girlfriend from you and claim as his girlfriend.
What the fuck are you talking.
Truth buddy.
In your dreams.
Let's wait and watch buddy.
Are you challenging me.
Kind of.
" Let me introduce him actually I came here to introduce him to you. So this is Dhruv Raj,and Dhruv this is my son Rohan"uncle introduced him I shake my hand to him and eyed Nithya and raised an eyebrow to her.
"Well how should I have to prefer you" this stupid Rohan asked me. why he always interrupts someone.
"Dhruv would be better"I said to him.
"Well then Dhruv meet my girlfriend Nithya". She said to me and seen Nithya and smirked. Nithya narrowed her eyes to him to which he gulped audible. That's weird, right.
"Actually I call her nit, isn't it is cute like her"Rohan said.
"Nit, Nithya"I said , listening to this her eyes gone wide she tilted her head towards me and she sees me in my eyes. I just smirked at her. She got confused by my smirk.
"Well I prefer Nithya it sounds sexy like her" I said and that's it. Her expression has a picture perfect.
Her eyes gone more wide than before and her mouth hang open. Literally any fly can go in and out without any disturbance. But I'm just smirked at her once again.
"What"she managed to ask me after a long time.
May be after a life time.
Yeah you can say that.
"Nothing" I said coldly to her and walked away from there.
I just can't think that you said sexy to her, Good.
I also startled by that.
You didn't tell that to anyone even Sandhya.
I know.
I was talking to someone and host announced for dance. So Mr and Mrs Patil danced. After that many couples were on the stage and I can see Nithya and Rohan are also on the stage.
Music started and they dancing to music. Nithya was smiling and dancing. In middle of the song she seen me and I just furrowed my eyes to her.
I got angry about her,how could she always smile at him and dance with him. I don't know for what I was angry I went in to washroom to cool down. When my anger is some what down I headed to hall. I searched for Nithya I didn't see her, from a window I seen someone is standing in the garden while talking on the phone and I know who it is.
Nithya,yes Nithya.
When I was a hand distance she told someone on the phone" ok come fast I'll wait" that's it my anger takes place.
She turned and bumped into me,and my whole wine was on her dress. She seen her dress and lifted her head to see me.
"What the hell is wrong with you" she yelled at me. No one has yell at me like this and it just petroled my anger. I shouted at her,she started crying but I didn't stopped there I started to call dirty name that made her anger. She slapped me in the face. I was startled.
What's wrong with you,how can you yell at her.
"You know what you are just disgusting" she shouted at me and ran away from me. I took me good 15 minutes to recover to normal. I feel sorry,so I started to search for her in the whole party but she was nowhere. I think she was gone to home.
Of course she will be gone no one will stay after hearing that.
I want to tell sorry to her but my chance has gone. I don't know when I will meet her,or whether I had a chance to meet her in this life.
You don't deserve a chance also.
I'm sure that I didn't see love in her eyes for him. So I think she is playing with his emotions like Sandhya played with me. I'm not wrong I know but seeing her cry,I don't know what was happening with me.
I was in my room just lied on my bed. Thinking about her,why her crying effect me this much I don't know. Just hoping that tomorrow would be great day.
