Aadrika's POV –
After nearly 5 hours, I finished my work for the day. I'm excited to meet the person who will be taking care of my lively sister for the rest of their life. I love her and want the best for her.
I've already informed my manager that I'll be leaving early today. Surprisingly, he didn't make a fuss this time.
Maybe luck is on my side today.
Sharma House:
I'm currently getting ready for the evening in front of my mirror. Dad must be in the office and Mom is at an orphanage,
so I texted them that I'll have dinner outside and stay over at Raghav's house.
Flashback:
While I was in the elevator, I received a message from Raghav saying he needed to host an urgent gathering, mainly due to his girlfriend's issues.
As always, Arushi and I will go and meet him.
Speaking of Raghav and Arushi, they are my two best friends and I feel really lucky to have them.
My thoughts were interrupted by a reminder on my phone that I was running very late.
I checked myself in the mirror and appreciated how pretty I looked, because self-love is important.
Author POV:
Outside the restaurant:
After almost half an hour, she stood in front of the place that held so many memories for her.
By seeing her like this, anyone could tell that she was captivated by the beauty of this place, where there wasn't much of a crowd. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee with a hint of bitterness lingering in the air had the power to calm and relax people.
In our daily lives, we often forget to seek the calm and peace that many of us lack today. But for Aadrika, this place is her comfort zone.
She is usually found here when she is happy, tense, or sad. Even during her struggling days, she always used to come here when she needed a break from her daily life.
Aadrika's POV:
I was standing at the entrance of my comfort place, reminiscing about every memory related to this place.
Due to my hectic schedule, I hadn't been here in 5 months and I missed coming here.
My trance was broken when I was pushed by a lady who looked to be in her mid-40s. I turned to see her and was shocked by what I saw.
She was lying on the road, pretending to be hurt by a car, perhaps to get money by accusing the driver.
But to her bad luck, I was standing there and, as expected from me, I foiled her plan.
"No problem, Aunty. I've recorded everything on my phone. We will surely catch the culprit," I said.
The moment she recognized my words, her face turned pale and devoid of any emotion.
She gave me a hard glare as if I were scaring her, then went to the other side, pretending not to want to create a scene.
The driver came towards me and said, "Thank you, ma'am. Because of you, I am safe, otherwise I would have lost my job."
By seeing his outfit, I could tell he was a bodyguard. I asked him to relax. During the whole drama, I felt somebody's heated gaze on my back.
I thought about it, but then I turned back after hearing steady footsteps towards me, only to find nobody there.
Putting all my thoughts aside, I moved inside to my special space, which is always reserved for me.
As I entered, I saw Ishani sitting on the chair, and beside her, there was a man in his mid-20s. He wasn't in casual attire, so maybe he's a businessman. Well, let's meet him first.
As soon as they noticed me, they both stood up. Ishani, the over-excited one, hugged me,
then moved back and introduced me to the man, who was her boyfriend, Aadavy Singhania.
AUTHOR POV :
They were all settled, and Aadvya was telling Aadrika about himself. They had been talking to each other for half an hour, and now Aadrika was relieved by seeing her sister's choice.
Aadvya and Aadrika had developed a good bond in a short time, like that of a brother and sister. Aadrika was now calling him "bhai" because he was older than her, and he was also very happy to have one more sister.
During this time, Aadrika noticed that Ishani was looking towards the door as if waiting for someone.
She finally asked her, "Ishu, I am here, and Bhai is also here, so whom are you waiting for?"
Ishani replied in a tense voice, "Dee, Aadvya's elder brother is also coming, and I am nervous."
Then she heard Aadrika and Aadvya chuckling and got irritated, saying, "Baby, I will see you later" to Aadvya and
smirked at her sister by saying, "Dee, your time will also come, then I will see you."
Aadrika just rolled her eyes towards her, and then they heard a door opening sound, and all of them turned towards the door, and there was someone.
KABIR'S POV:
I was talking with the client for the past 30 mins, and finally, that call was over.
Then I headed towards the place, and the smell of coffee was so relaxing that it erased all my frustration from the call in just a few seconds.
Correcting my demeanor, I entered the private reserved seat, not before ordering bodyguards to stand outside; I didn't want to grab unwanted attention.
Outside the door, I heard a chuckling sound; I recognized the first one as it belonged to my brother, but the second one I didn't know. Maintaining my stoic face, I opened the door, and time stood still.
When my deep blue eyes met with the charcoal black eyes inviting me to bore into its darkness. I was looking into them as if I was drowning in the person's soul, but then they were quickly averted, as if scared of being lost.
My focus then shifted towards her face. There was a cute button-like nose, chubby cheeks like cherry, perfectly shaped lips symbolizing rose petals so soft that I want to feel .....
shit, what am I thinking?
My chain of thoughts was broken by the throat-clearing sound of my brother, and then I noticed my brother smirking at me and a girl probably in her early 20s giving me a soft smile.
I just nodded towards the girl and ignored my brother, then I took my chair, but again I looked towards the other girl.
Now I noticed her cylindrical neck, with long hair till the lower back; she was not too thin or too fat, and she had perfect curves.
Then my brother introduced me to Ishani, and I liked her, but my attention was still on the other one who didn't even once look at me after our intense eye-locking session.
I could smell the same scent of rose and sandalwood, but how? Was she the same girl? Definitely, she was. But why am I so interested in her? Leave it.
I heard somebody's phone ringing, and that was none other than Ishani's elder sister. I got to know it from Ishani when she moved outside to attend the call.
She said, "Bhaiya, that's Aadrika Sharma, my elder sister." To which I just nodded, maintaining my poker face because I didn't care.
After 5 minutes, I heard somebody saying, "Ishu and bhai, I have to go, I am sorry, my friends are waiting for me."
Her voice was honey to my ears; it was so melodious that I could hear it daily. What! Wait, she is going, but why?
"But you don't care, na?" my inner self mocked me, which I ignored.
Then my brother said, "No problem, you can go, Aadrika, we will catch up next time," giving her a soft smile.
She reciprocated the smile.
Damn her smile, I can do anything for that. What am I doing? She is a witch; without any effort, she caught DEVIL'S attention. Impressive.
"We will meet soon, Miss Sharma."
These words moved out of my throat without my acknowledgment. By seeing everybody's face, I could say they all were shocked, and so was I.
