Chapter 24: First crush and love
As a friend Akash has witnessed many up and downs that happened in Atharv`s life in past five years. Even when his ex-girlfriend accept his proposal for marriage, he didn't find this much delight in his face.
Just the mention of Arthi`s name bought so much delight and smile in his face. Seeing Atharv walking and blabbering something to himself Akash couldn't help but say...
Buddy just relax she just went to washroom. Stop walking and talking to yourself like this, it`s really disturbing man. I've never seen you like this, it's freaking me out.
Akash not now, you don't know man I`ll be seeing her after 10 years. I`m very nervous and sweating so much, I don't even know what to say to her. How she will react after seeing me?
I get it buddy you are so much excited to see your long last friend. But why did you lost contact with her when you families are friends.
You don't know man Aru was an adorable girl who was so much innocent for this world. Seeing her I just wanted to protect her from the all the evilness of the world. She was an intelligent, adorable possession who was beautiful in and out and a purest soul.
Wow man, I never knew you could sing praises for some other person. I have never seen you talk so passionately about anyone not even your so called fiancé. But what you are saying about her and what I`ve seen today I felt they are two different persons.
Akash please don't remind that bitch I don't want to spoil my mood. I`m meeting Arthi after long time. It`s was very long time may she has changed in these 10 years.
As you say buddy, sorry I bought that bitch in between. If I didn't know you better I would have thought that you are waiting for your long lost love.
Arthi is very special to me Akash she is not just a friend, she was my first crush and love. Before I could propose to her she just disappeared. Not even her grandpa knew where she went.
Wow, this is getting more and more interesting. I definitely need more juicy details about your first love Atharv.
Buddy where is she why she has come out yet. Can you ask the receptionist or anyone to check in the washroom?
Akash was about to say something, the receptionist whom they were talking about was walking towards washroom, seeing her Akash was about talk to her she smiled at them and spoke...
Hello sir, did you meet your friend she just passed towards the main entrance.
As soon as she said those words Atharv dashed and rushed towards the main entrance. Akash thanked the receptionist and ran behind him.
Upon reaching the entrance of the hotel Akash pointed his finger towards a latest model of black Mercedes. Atharv couldn't see the face of Arthi he was just able to get side glimpse of her face, she didn't look like the Arthi he knew back. This Arthi who was in front of him was so different and matured.
But his steps halted when he saw the man whom he bumped into while entering the hotel earlier was guiding her towards the back seat. Opening the car door for her while his hand rested on her waist, he jogs towards the other side and takes seat beside her.
Knitting his eye brows combing his hair through his hands he felt jealous and angered by seeing this scene. At same time seeing their intimate gesture Atharv tightened his fist and gritting his teeth was trying to control his anger from punching that guy.
Seeing Atharv's reaction Akash understood that his friend was angry...
Oh relax buddy that`s CEO Mr. Siddharth Raj of Star group a real gentleman, whom I mentioned you once who can help your company to come out of this mess. Apparently your crush and love Arthi is trained under him in star group. Don't think and worry unnecessarily too much without reasons. I`ve heard rumors about that Mr. Sid is apparently engaged to his childhood sweetheart whom he love very much.
Hearing about this Atharv heart eases a bit, but he still doesn't like the closeness of Arthi and Sid. Atharv feels sad because he couldn't see his angel properly, he has searched and waited for her long time. Even today he couldn't see her properly, just by catching glimpse of Arthi made his heart beat more as if he had run marathon. In response to Akash, Atharv just hums to him in his response.
