Hello peeps. Sorry for the late update. I was busy the past 3 days. 🙏😌 Enjoy reading ☺️

Karan POV

Adaa had messaged me asking me to come here. To an orphanage home but why? And she's not here yet. I'm sitting in my car while scrolling feed on my phone. Then, I tapped Teju's story and I found she posted a boomerang with Adaa. 5 mins ago.

That means they both are coming here! I have to continue the hide and seek game here as well.

Hmm, Teju.. How cute she looks while pouting! Her lips are damn tempting as usual.

I met Tejasswi when my family and I went to Adaa's house for the roka ceremony. She was there with Adaa all the time. I was just mesmerized with her beauty. Ayyee!

I get to know that Tejasswi is a doctor and college mate of my younger brother, Rithik and Adaa is Tejasswi's best friend from childhood. I don't know why but I always want her to be with me all the time from the first second I saw her.

Maybe, I fall in love with her at first sight!

I had a very nasty breakup with my ex-girlfriend 2 years ago and I don't want to look at any girls after that.

But she changed everything. She gave me a new hope to love.

There is a catch in this. Teja doesn't believe in love. Adaa only told me this. There is a reason behind this as well. That's why Adaa had asked me to come here.

Oh shoot. Here they come!

I hope Teja doesn't see me. They parked the car and got off it. They walked in and I got off my car. I walked to the gate and hide a bit, so Teja doesn't get a glimpse of me.

They talked to an elderly woman. That woman called someone and a girl came out in a white salwar. She looks chirpy at the same time pale as if she had been crying the whole night. This girl is kind of a familiar dude.

That girl smiled at Teja and Adaa. They hugged each other.

"Teju, how are you? You didn't come for a month but did send some money to the orphanage. Your champ and I missed you so much!" - that girl said.

"I'm really sorry, Bhabhi! I was busy with hospital and this girl's engagement as well!" - Teja replied her.

Wait, Bhabhi?

That means Harsh Bhaiyya's girlfriend, Aneri?

That's right! Teju had shown me her picture before this. How can I forget!

Then, a boy around 2 and half years old came running to them. Teja gets excited meeting him. She carries him and planted lots of kisses on his face.

That boy giggles and Teja hugged him. Adaa kisses the boy's cheek.

"Champpp! I missed you! Did you miss me?" - Teja asked looking at the boy while raising one of her eyebrows. She looks cute, damn

"Yeshhh, Bua!" - that boy said in his childish voice. Aneri smiled and ruffles his hair.

"Come in. Let's have some tea!" - Teja nods at her. "You guys go in first. I'll come after making a quick call to Rithik!" - Adaa said. "This girl can't stay without talking to her fiance!" - Teja frowned while Adaa smacked her arm. Aneri chuckles at them.

Aneri and Teja goes in along with the boy. Adaa made sure they went in and turned back to see me. She came to me after looking around.

"Karan.." - she started. "Why did you called me here?" - I asked her. "You always wanted to know the reason why Teju doesn't believe in love na?!" - Adaa asked me. I simply nodded at her.

"She was the reason behind it." - she said indicating at Aneri. "Huh?" - I was confused.

"Aneri Bhabhi is Harsh Bhaiyya's long time girlfriend. They loved each other from school time. The boy is their symbol of love!"- Adaa said looking at me.

"Wait, wait.. That means.." - I started but she continued my line.

"Yes, they intimated and she got pregnant. She got to know about it on the day of Bhaiyya's death! Her family members asked her to abort but she didn't want to! She came out of her house. Teja and I took care of her during her pregnancy. She delivered Nishant, safely. After that, her parents came searching for her asking her to leave Nishant in any orphanage home and asked her to marry someone else but she didn't! She doesn't want anyone else in her life apart from Harsh Bhaiyya. She said she'll raise her child all by herself as he is exact carbon copy of him. She's still young but gave up her life for her child, her love! Teja doesn't want to fall in love because she is scared of this painful path! 'I know if you love someone your life will be beautiful but there is a painful as well in this journey. I'm scared that even I'll fall in that like Aneri Bhabhi!' is what Teja always says if I ask about love to her!" - Adaa completed her long speech and I became speechless.

My babygirl! This is why you doesn't believe in love?!

She's scared that if she love someone that person will go leaving her one day permanently.

Don't worry, baby girl! I won't leave you at all until you ask me to leave! It's a promise!

I looked at Adaa and holds her hand. "Thanks for letting me know this, Adaa. I'll make sure to always be with her life long! All I have to do now is to make her fall in love with me. I need your help in this!" - I asked her.

"Anytime, Jiju!" - she said while smiling. I passed her a warm smile. I noticed Teja coming our searching for Adaa.

"She's coming. I'll leave now!" - I told her but Adaa stopped me.

"Jiju, continue the hide and seek game!" - she said winking at me and I nodded at her understanding her.

She went in and Teja saw her raising her hands up. "Where did you went girl?" - Teja asked her and I was hiding behind the wall.

Adaa showed her phone indicating Rithik, my bro! Teja signalled her to come in. Adaa nods at her and walks to her and that's when I peeped out from the wall.

I leaned on the wall to make sure she get a clear picture of me!

As I calculated, Teja saw me and widened her eyes. She couldn't believe that I'm here. She closed her eyes and wiped it. I took this as a chance and hide again. She opened her eyes and was shocked and surprised as she couldn't find me there.

Oh shoot! She's coming here.

I quickly got in my car and drove off. Thank God, I didn't off the engine all this while! That was so close!

End of POV.

Teja came to the gate and found none! She sighs and shrugs her shoulders. "Arrey, kya hua?" - Adaa asked her. Teja walks to her. "I saw Karan a minute ago!" - she said. "What? I was here from past 10 minutes I didn't see him. Then, how can you?" - Adaa asked her.

"I don't know. I saw him and after a second he's gone!" - Teja said being confused. "Teju, I think you are in love with him! You are missing him that's why you are seeing him everywhere!" - Adaa said winking at Teja.

"What the fuck! Not at all!" - Teja told her and again turned back. She didn't find anyone. "Am I really in love with him?" - she asked her heart out and Adaa looked at her.
