VAANI

It is about 15 mins I reached Vivaan's house it's like villa and I standing outside because I can't still figure out what should I do now whether I should go inside or should I return home.

Then after defeating myself from my thoughts which had stop at the point to go inside so I don't have any option left.

I started to walk towards the gate and open it while the watchman was sleeping and I got my way at his door.

At first, my heart flinch then I altogether take my guts inside me to ring the bell.

I waited for few minutes but there was no response.

Then I turned in my way to head my home changed my decision and I started walking while I listens the voice of opening door then I rush out to stand infront of the door so he can see when he opens the door.

When he opened the door he look so tired his eyes full of pain and with no  other second thought as soon as he open the door I rush out inside moving him aside to make my way to the sofa placed in his living room.

I will be definitely looking idiot at this time but I have no other choice rather than waiting for him to ask me to go back home from the door itself.

He then lock the door and turned back and looked at me with confusion. Then he started walking towards me.

"I didn't knew this version of you." As soon as he sat beside me he said this thing in a deep dark voice where his lips curve into a smile for a while which I had least expected rather than why you came here get out etc..

His eyes got his shine back but there is still something in his eyes which I can't withstand or recognize.

"Sorry I had came at this time and this way into your house." I apologise in a soft pleading voice to him.

"You don't have to apologise for that you can come into my house whenever and whatever way you want." He says with his whole sense in a more louder voice then before and what is this what I had expected and what is this happening.

"Did I came on same address Soha send me, yea that's why he is here then what may be the reason of him acting this way. Did he forgot his memory but then how did he knew me then what the reason may be of him acting this way..." I blabbered to myself.

"I didn't get what you said please can you say one thing at a time Ms. Mehra." He asks me in a soft voice when he is still standing before the table placed before the sofa that I am sitting on.

And why did he addressed me as Ms. Mehra where did our friendship thing gone which was initiated by him only.

I got it he has just ended everything between us whatever it was and now acting formal and asking me this type of things.

Nice try.

"Yea one cup of coffee please." I didn't know where to start when he is like this so I asked him to get me a coffee so at the meantime I will get some time to think.

He just nod and went left side where there is a kitchen which we can say by seeing it because it's open one.

While he was gone I look at his house which has dark theme all over it.

Infact every infrastructure he has got  has the dark theme mostly black, dark green and  purple all the dark colours.

He has a huge living room in which he had place sofa in the middle of the room which is also dark green colour and the walls are filled most of the with paintings and his photos. And the colour together with all the designs of every inch of his house shout at elegance and royalty no doubt he is a architect.

And the right side there is lot of stairs which head to his room I guess.

"Did you like it?" I heard the voice from my behind which is of obvious vivaan. But how did he came that much fast.

"Yea!" I says after turn to look him.

"Nice to hear that and here it is." He says with a more normal tone now which reflects appreciation.

He has got two cups in his hand and he came towards me and hand over me one cup While he take another cup for himself and sat beside the adjacent sofa placed beside mine.

"Look I am so sorry I had no intension to hurt you I never thought of that really I am very sorry It was....." When I was about to continue further he places his finger on my lips which stops me from speaking me.

"It's ok Ms. Vaani." He says which gave me some relief that he is not angry with me but why.

"See I am really sorry you can scream at me there is no need to forgive me if you don't want to." I genuinely plead to him.

"I never do anything which I don't want to do so be relax don't worry i have really forgiven you with no pressure of you being a Vice President of likesuch association where you can get arrested me at a drop of a hat." He says with a smile which also makes my lips curves into the smile.

"You sure?" I asked assuring.

"Damn sure Ms. Vaani" he assures me.

"Then why are you addressing me as  Ms Vaani why not Vaani when you are not resented with me." I let out my curiosity.

"Means we are friends right you only told me right." I said again when he stares at me I don't know with which look but it seems somewhat to be confused.

"Okay okay vaani I got it I was just being formal before but now that we are friends I will not address you as Ms. Mehra alright now have your coffee."  He says before he let out a small laugh.

"You just now said Ms. Vaani again." I said teasingly.

"I am sorry m- no vaani." Then we laugh together for a while before having our coffee.

"Shall I ask you something?" I asks him to clear out my confusion.

"When you were not resent with me then why did you walk out from the office like that." I asked out of my curiosity and his face turns serious and he turns upright straight ignoring my sight.

"It's ok if it's personal say if you are only okay with it." I says by noticing his gestures.

There was a complete silence for a minute before he started speaking.

"I was at 9 and there was my birthday next day and I wanna celebrate it with my parents as usual which every child wish for then if there is birthday so obvious it needs birthday cake candles balloons etcc.." His voice normal at start then he let out a laugh when he mentioned his parents.

He takes a pause before he started speaking again.

"It was raining at my 9th birthday and I remember it clearly it was 7th June 2004." He takes a pause.

"I was alone at my house with only my grandpa because my both parents had a meeting that day and there were to collide and come from the office."

Then  I called up my dad to take the updates from him where he is and how much time it will take." He again take a pause.

"Then I got resented because he said it will take time for him to come home." He pauses for a second before he burst out into tears.

I move to him sat on the sofa beside me and start to wipe out his tears.

After a few minutes he takes my hand into his hands and hold it somewhat tightly but I don't feel pain.

"I fought with him and told him to come home fast as there was only some time left for my birthday."

"Then- "

"Then I slept like that only on my sofa waiting for my parents to come but they never came."

"Next morning, I heard grandpa scowling in his room which wakes me up from my sleep and I rush out towards his room and barged into it.
When he sees me he hugs me tightly and he said-" He bursts out into tears where I couldn't stop myself and i remove my hands from his and hugs him.

"It was all my mistake.." he repeats while tears continusly came out his eyes.

"No it was not yours vivaan." I pat him on the back and when the tears came out of my eyes I didn't felt also until he wipe out my tears after we pulls back.

"And the answer to your question is that tomorrow is 7th June and I couldn't stop myself imagining the scenarios happened before when you mentioned my parents and I don't wanna breakdown in the office. So yeah I went from there like that." He explains his actions to me.

"Then why did you not open the door for Kushal when he came over." I asked out of confusion.

"Because I was not at home that's why i went to my grandpa's house and that idiot had sure might didn't think of that and continously knocked on the door." He explains. Oh so he has grandpa also. Now I get the whole thing.

It was just few minutes after everything happened and we came back to normal I am sitting on the same now but at some distance from him and we had our coffee when my phone starts to ring and it shows Soha.

Vivaan signs me that he will take the cups and keeps it into the kitchen while I talk to  soha.

As I answer the call it has ended and I open the phone to call her again when the date and time get caught by my eyes.

It was 23:57 7th June and I clicked it and remember that yes Vivaan had told me that it was his birthday on 8th June.

My phone starts to ring again and it was Soha again.

"Hey everything is OK na don't say me that you are  coming with out meeting him." She start to speak as soon as I pick up the call.

"Yes everything is fine ok he is coming I will call you back." I conclude and cut the call.

"Hey." He gestures me before sitting beside me.

"Hey happy birthday Vivaan." I greet him.

"Thank you Vaani you remembered ha." He says to me before we both letting out of a laugh.

"Ok I will be leaving then." I says while standing on the floor and start to walk towards the other sofa to grab my purse which I brought along.

While he grab my hands which stop me from moving.

"I don't wanna stay lonely tonight please can you stay over atleast for some time please." He pleads me with his emotional sad face. After hearing everything from him tonight I can't leave him alone so afcourse I can stay for some time.

"Okay. But for some time." I conclude after going back to my seat.
