Pune was a beautiful city...Saanjh didn't expect too much from this place initially... she thought it's going to be a tough situation staying away from parents and that she was the only child...she was been pampered since childhood...she never cooked... She never had to do the household work... though she knew the basics but her mom dad treated her like a princess...

Saanjh never experienced hostel Life as her father Arjun Singh Chopra was extremely possessive father to let his daughter go away from him...maybe that's the reason Mr Chopra tried all his tactics to make his daughter drop the plans on moving to Pune but Saanjh wanted to live this kind of lifestyle too...she had heard of month end money shortage, eating half cooked, staying with roomies, partying ofcourse but never really lived that hostel kind of life...now was her chance as she got hired by one of best international MNC's for a decent payscale which however her father thought was useless but Saanjh believed she wanted to fly solo and learn to be independent rather dependent on her dad's cash...

Saanjh loved her house (room to be precise) which she shared with her roomie Purvi...Purvi was from Mumbai... hence Marathi was her thing and as they did their schooling together in Delhi for 4 years when her dad was transferred owing to a promotion... she was a very good friend. Saanjh's parents happily let her go to Pune as they were OK about her staying with Purvi ...not because they were classmates... because Purvi's dad was an ex army personnel and now an influential and reputed politician. Saanjh's parents felt it's no other safe place for their daughter to stay in a unknown city. Saanjh was happy that she's finally starting a life on her own...

Saanjh immediately fell in love with Pune...it had some sort of calmness...it's not like Pune wasn't having its party space...but it was more like a homely city...she had an instant connect.

Saanjh stood at her apartment's balcony with s cup of coffee on a cloudy evening...

'Looks like it's going to rain' Purvi said to her passing some Poha (snack made out of beaten rice)

Saanjh took the plate from her and took a seat on the easy chair on their balcony and kept the poha and coffee on the coffee table next to her.

She had a pleasant smile of finally feeling like she's started on her own...

It's just been a week to office but she's settling fast... her colleagues were warm.. her manager was kind...Pune was beautiful...she was happy in her space...

While she was looking at the sky with a smile on her face...she noticed her phone ring..

'Aarya calling'

It said...she smirked... She picked the phone call and heard a voice from other side

'So settled down madam?'

Saanjh smiled and just replied a 'Hmmm'

'Madam... what's a hmmm' ... come on a video call...I wanna see you' said a eager voice

A giggle leaving her mouth ... 'Mr... don't you think you are trying to boss me.. after all we are just friends'

She doubted her own heart while saying that as the wedding instance and her rapport with Aarya had changed since that incident...

'You are not my friend' Aarya said in a husky voice...

Saanjh had chills in body hearing that..she moved tongue on her dry lips and said 'Then what am I to you'

There was complete silence...

'you must decide that...but for that I wanna see you'

Saanjh blushed...

It's been just 2 weeks and they were chatting since then but things were gradually changing between them...but as Saanjh had to leave to Pune for her job Aarya was already missing her...

It's not like they met post the wedding but that feeling of being in the same city was something else...Aarya was living in Bangalore since his childhood however as he did his education in Delhi..the Malhotra's had an ancestral property there too... and Delhi was now his home as he was assisting his father's hotel business in Delhi...

'Saanjh...' she replied with a 'Hmmm'

'When are you coming to Delhi' he was quick..

and she chuckled...

'I just came here a week ago'

Again there was complete silence... He quickly said

'Then im coming to see you' to which she laughed.

'Why... I can't come to see you....' he said quickly...
She chuckled saying 'You are crazy...it's been 1 week of me here... 2 weeks since we are into this and 3 weeks since we met... This is going like a fling'

'Areeee madam... You think I'm flirting with you...then atleast let me be a cheesy lover boy' he said laughing loud...

'No means no...at the speed you are ... We'll end up in bed next week' she said and then bit her tongue.... rubbing her fingers on her temple...damn I must control my tongue what happens to me when I'm with him...I've never been this outspoken to anyone...he definitely has a charm to make me comfortable...but I must control my sharp tongue... She said cursing her uncontrollable tongue...

'Sooooo you think I wanna do naughty things to you already babe...' he spoke in a husky tone ..

'Shuttuppppppp yaaaa' she said loudly...

He laughed...

They continued chatting and talking everyday...

In no time it was 4 months that they were virtually dating each other via video calls, late night chats...

Aarya now became more responsible and serious about his work as he wanted to stand on his own feet... He wanted to become AaryaVardhan Malhotra and not just the careless Aarya as he was seriously thinking of starting a life with Saanjh...her simplicity... Her way to back answer him...her straight forward attitude.. nothing fake to hide nature was something he was smitten about...
He didn't know if it was Love...
But he definitely wanted her in his life permanently...
First time in 12 years .. since his first ever girlfriend to till date flings...

Now he was thinking of marriage...

He felt she is someone whom he can marry... Who understands him... She's different...she was his buddy...she was his girlfriend... She could be tomboyish buddy when discussing his past flings... Who laughed at it ..but at last gave him an advice in such a way that he never felt like a lecture yet understood what she meant...She didn't judge him and he was an open book infront of her...
She let him free... she trusted him so much that he didnt feel like going anywhere else...

He left home with her..

He wanted her to be Mrs AaryaVardhan Malhotra...

While Saanjh got involved with her office work...Her team was extremely co operative...she learnt programming, working on severities...there were late night calls she attended with het US folks...at times weekend on-call made her tired...All this while Aarya was her to go person... a stupid video call or a message made her feel like heaven....but now as he got busy with his commitments she missed their late night calls, cute chats... As Aarya was coming late from office due to his business was just taking off...

'You don't miss me na Baby' she said sipping onto her morning coffee...

While he chuckled... 'You know na Eve... there's so much work...Mr Mehtani loved my proposal and guess what he's ready to finance me... This means I wouldn't need to take dad's help and I will fly solo... just like my Eve' he said cheerfully...

To which Saanjh smiled 'Im extremely proud of you babe...that your doing it on your own... You know you are totally a more responsible Aarya Malhotra than the one I met' she said...

He chuckled while scratching his head saying.... 'You inspire me baby'

'But I miss my old naughty Aarya... Your late night conversations, chats... I never thought I'll say this yo you...But I think...
I'm .... '

She stopped...while Aarya heard heavy breathing...

'You... What Saanjh... I'm listening...' he kept his coffee mug aside and went near the window so he didn't miss out on network... He wanted to hear it as much from her as much he wanted to tell it to her'

' I t think...I ...I ....' she stammered...

'Ahmmm... Nothing... getting late to work..bye babe' she said and dropped off...

Aarya could literally hear his heartbeats..

'What did she wanna say that she couldn't.... why is this silence so much vocal yet silent...

Why s it that I know what she wanted to say yet... Didn't confess...

Why is it that I already know it...but still wanna hear it from her beautiful pink lips...

And say the same to her...

This woman is driving me crazy and

Yes...

Clearly...

I'm falling for her...

I'm falling in love with this naughty little witch of mine...

I love you Eve....

I love you...

And I wanna say you loud...

I want to'

He chuckled... Brushing his hair while still smiling like a lunatic😉

Aarya made sure he called her regularly in morning while he had his bed tea...the first 15 mins of his day was always dedicated to Saanjh...

Then they freshened up and continued while having breakfast...

Their feelings, attachments and emotions progressed everyday.

They were falling in love ❤️
