Hide and Seek

Chapter-5

"Abhi!" Abhimanyu looked at his sister who wore a yellow colour frock, her hair tied in pigtails!

"What is your gift for me? Won't you give me a gift on your birthday?" She asked jumping from the last stair of their home as she land herself infront of him.

"I am your gift, why you need one?" He teased her and she gasped.at him.

"You won't give me a gift?" She creamed at him. "I will darling... Once I complete my revision, we will go out with mumma! And she said we can eat anything you like!" He cided softly at his sister's enthusiasm.

"Why do you have to read! We can go now!" She whined at him again and he couldn't help but chuckle at his sister. "Because my 10th exams are near and I need to read. If you trouble it might take time since mom won't agree if I won't complete my revision." He said softly.

She kept a finger near chin as if she is thinking. "Then come soon! We will enjoy!"

~∆∆∆~

The cool breezes of Vijayawada in the evening are something the people crave for!

The evenings are always the best, people return from colleges, schools and their work places, they relax and enjoy the breezes touching their skin. They love the feeling of being home!

"What about this design? Do you like it?" Asked the mehandi designer to Neha. "Oh yeah!! This is awesome!" The bride chirped. Honestly Abhimanyu don't know why girls take time choosing things. He has been watching sister whine like a lot and controlled laughing at the poor designer who showed 20 designs and got them rejected right away by his sister and now finally she settled with one or else the designer looked like she will leave!

The women are chirping like a birds and the whole home is decorated with flowers and fairy lights, the mehandi ceremony is taking place in the garden area.

Even though they can book a lavish place to celebrate his sister's wedding his grandmother wanted it to be homely, where relatives bond and do each and every work while mingling. His mother too was against it at first but one word from her mom! She zipped her mouth. His grandmother is a lovely woman, who is kind, gentle and tender until you mess with her. Everyone who knew her would know she is not a person with whom they can win any argument with! And definitely not a person who takes shit.

Her maternal grandfather had died when his mother was young, and his aunt was only few months old, since then his grandmother raised her into a woman, who is strong yet tender, just like her! Women like his grandmother are really needed for the next generation! For inspiration. He thought Neha would be like his grandmother but she took after his aunt who is gentle and calm.

Abhimanyu glanced at his wrist watch, he have a meeting with the foreign investors at 8:00 pm and now it's 7:30pm.

He chuckled when he saw Atharva trying his luck with his sister's friends "Abhi" he heard his name called like a whisper and turned to see her.

"Chandini!" he acknowledged her and as usual, the girl's cheeks coated with tint of redness.

Chandini looked at the man who handsomely dressed up in a cream colour Kurta. She always liked him! His goodness, foresight, calmness, maturity! She liked them all!

The way he chuckles when someone jokes, the way he cares for people around him, the way how he react to her! Or the way her name rolls out sweetly like honey out his mouth, people can easily say she is whipped!

Abhimanyu smiled at her warmly, the smile for which Chandini want to die for! She has a big crush on him. Since forever.

"How have you been?" His question brought her from her dream land and she nodded her head positively.

"You?" She asked feeling the heat rushing through her body to her cheeks. "I am good!" He said and suddenly it felt as if they ran out of their words which never used to happen before!

They both are nerdy, and their topics are about study almost and Chandini never whined about it. She liked it that way since she can talk to him in that way atleast.

She, at first thought, he too have an interest in her but no! It felt like someone slapped her when she got to know whom he loved. His eyes are only for her, he made it clear! She was the only thing he can see, the rest is a blind eye to him.

She hinted him many times! That she likes him but as she said! He is blind for rest of things happening around.. he only was in intrested with her. His soul, his mind, his heart only belongs to her. He screamed this loud enough to know it for the world!

Abhimanyu Varma... The name send chills down her spine!

Abhimanyu is clueless why Chandini went mum. He was about to ask the same when he saw Atharva coming to him. "Hey!" Atharva said to Chandini and Chandini started talking to him a little and in the mean while he excused himself out if them.

Chandini is not like her sister. She is very clever and made things clear of having no relationship at early age! She was always the ambitious one among their circle.

While she! She got her eyes for him. She doesn't need or want anything when he is around her.

Abhimanyu went out of the home and thought to take a stroll when he saw her. Aarohi Ramaswamy! Whining why she doesn't want to come here.

Clad in a green saree, her hair tied in fish braid, her eyes adorned with the khol and her lips with a beautiful pink colour.

She became thin, not very thin but curvy... Her eyes... They are pale with no life. How chirpy she used to be when she was younger? How he wish to bring back her lively form! As if she will let you! His brain reminded him and with out giving another look at his lady love, who imprinted his heart with her image and stood stubborn not at all moving from his heart and not letting others take her place... She is not replaceable his heart reminded him.

"Seriously? I have to tie another Saree? Is it Ani's wedding or mine!" Aarohi threw another tantrum as she walked towards Neha's home with her mother.

"You have to! And yeah! Stop whining if you don't want to hear my scolds." Gritted her mother through her teeth and Aarohi knew she have to stop or else her mother surely will design her face with her mother's handprint. Mother's can be scary!

She entered inside Neha's place and sat with Chandini who seemed to lost in thought. " What's up loser? You are quiet?" Neha asked Chandini and she just smiled off.

The sisters always had a beautiful relationship. Chandini was always a greatest support to her in everything. They almost did everything together. One thing. One thing that they don't have in common is Chandini not agreeing to Aarohi's relationship. At first it didn't affect but later it did! It did more that Aarohi thought it would.

          But later on she warmed up to him. They had shared a nice bond until the day it was broken by fate! Chandini became her shoulder to lean on when she spent her days in crying. Her sister became the therapy she needed. Giving her the comfort she need in her tough times until one day she rushed to Mysore without telling anyone.

        A huge fight blown between the sisters on phone... Since then Chandini has always been cold to her. She accused her for not caring about them and how upsetting it is for them to see her like that. Aarohi too scolded her for not understanding her and Chandini was more angrier than she ever was and cut the call saying she won't try to in the future. Later when Aarohi visited her parents they both maintained a cordial relationship.

Aarohi looked at her sister and at the same time Chandini too looked at her. Aarohi smiled a little and Chandini too did the same. There was something which became awkward bewteen them. Chandini stood up and walked away as Aarohi looked at her with a heavy heart..

The next day is wedding and Ramaswamy's reached the venue. The wedding went great and it was lunch time.

"Aaru. Go and bring your father we will do lunch." Said her mother and shooed away Aarohi to bring her father.

Aarohi walked through from her relatives and searched for her father and finally found him near some group of men. His father is chatting away happily with a man and Aarohi went towards him.

She was two steps away from her father when her father acknowledged her presence and smiled brightly at her. " Aarohi! I was about to call you! See who is here after so many years!" Her father said and the man beside her father turned and she held back a gasp as she saw him... Abhimanyu Varma... Looking back at her with the same shock she has in her eyes...

They finally saw eachother face to face ending their hide and seek game..
