in echoes,

VOTE GOAL:50

I walked out through the Main gate of the collage after speaking to some Professors since it's was the last exam only to see a different car waiting for me.

I mean, Roger always picks me in an Audi. But today it's a Ferrari, as for a fact it was a Ferrari which I'll never forget.

No......

Wait! Let's get something straight, Are you not ready to face him?

You completed your Btech exams, got a degree from IIM on mahnagement.

You already faced the media many times as the representative of Shekhawat industries.

So... Basically I think I'm already his equal and I'm ready to face him.

But if only I pass the exam...

Seriously Aaru???? You know you won't fail!

Should I just go back to Chennai??

What will you do? Run??

God! Okay let's face it.

With all these thoughts I went near the car and opened it.

And.......

"Hop in sexy!" I felt a sudden rush of anger in me.

God whatever you give but you should never give hope. That's the worst feeling.

I just got in the car while cursing my fate.

"Why did you bring this car?" I asked barely concealing my anger.

Leah looked at me as if I'm crazy.

"Seriously? You know I love Ferraris right?"

But I love the man who drives a Ferrari!

I wanted to scream at her, but I controlled myself.

"Rits and Dan are shopping from Gujarat, they would have already boarded the flight. We are leaving today evening, since the bride won't shop without us." Leah explained the plan.

"So, what about Ma, Pa and Anna?" I enquired while taking out my phone checking for any messages or missed calls, I really don't trust Leah since it's about shopping.

"Ani got an emergency surgery so they will be coming tomorrow evening. Gosh I miss him." Leah whined.

In all these two years Leah and Anna went through many problems but eventually they are going strong again. I really envy them.

We reached the mansion. I quickly ran to my room and took the luggage, even though I know I won't need it. Since there is a lot of dresses in our Mansion in Gujarat.

But I don't feel like travelling without luggage. Call me crazy!

"Have this and go" Naina di said passing me a plate of fruits.

I ate it and hugged Naina di.

"Come with us please" I asked her for the millionth time.

"I can't leave my family like that Aaru. Take care." I saw her eyes slowly drifting towards Bhai.

"Don't worry I'll take care of your Roger. Bye." I mocked and ran before she beat me to pulp. But I didn't miss the blush that marred her face.

*****

We finally reached Gujrat. The flight was pretty cool we came in a private jet. Perks of being rich.

The drive to home was pretty normal apart from Leah gazing at the countryside with her jaw touching the floor. You can't blame this girl, she was born and brought up in Sydney, then studied in Mumbai.

But don't you think it's a bit too much considering the fact that it's her almost 10 th visit. Or is it 11? Mocked my inner self.

In last two years never once Jay visited India so as his better half most of the times I would attend to the needs not because Mama asked me or anything but I like to stay here, with our family. And sometimes Leah would tag along.

But I'm pretty sure he will be coming today. After all it's our sister's wedding.

"We reached!" Leah screamed.

We got out, I was engulfed in the familiar motherly embrace.

"Mama, I missed you." I told hugging her back.

"I missed you too." She said breaking the hug. She glared at me after seeing my luggage. I laughed it off.

"Didi!" Ananya hugged me. Then Dad followed suit.

After Leah also hugged everyone. We decided to go inside. My eyes searching for my favourite blue eyes.

"He is sleeping, thinking his wife will come tomorrow." Dad joked.

"So it was not shopping?" I eyed everyone.

"Nope!" They answered in unison.

And we had a small laughing section.

"Come on it's revenge time. He can't just leave my poor sister like that."

Leah exclaimed.

Revenge is the last thing I want right now. I want to run to him because everyone only knew what I went through but I know what he felt each moment. And as a fact all the things that both of us went through was because of my insecurities and I know what he did was to erase those insecurities.

With these thoughts I started running towards our room. I could hear laughter and hooting behind me. But I kept on running till I reached my destiny.

I reached in front of the door. After calming my breath since my heart had no plans to calm I slowly opened the door and slipped inside.

I could see a clear silhouette of a figure which was haunting each and every second and corners of my thoughts, a figure which unintentionally became the purpose of my life.

Tears started spilling, I didn't care. I let them all, the frustration, longing, craving, suppressed emotions everything. Everything came out. I could feel myself trembling, my lips wobbling, I let it be.

I slowly slipped under the covers. The same sandalwood scent as I remember, the warmth which I craved for. I slipped my hands around him. I let out a deep sigh savouring the wholeness, at last my breath levelled and soul finally meeting it's destiny, it's peace.

Then something which amazed me happened. His arms came around and pulled me closer. His face closed in near my neck, his breath touching my neck making my breath hitched, I pressed my body closer to him.

Suddenly I felt his body stiffening. I knew what was coming next, I wanted to laugh out thinking about his expression. But before that he kissed me.

Yes! He bloody kissed me.

And Oh Boy! What a kiss it was. It was as if both of us were searching for something, as if he was making sure I was here, as if absorbing me as a whole. But suddenly he left me.

He jumped back and switched on the lights making me groan. Here comes the fight. Can't this guy for once let it be?

Why the hell he leave me now??

And I looked up to see him. Oh God how much I missed this face all those pictures uploaded in Google was nowhere near the real him. Then he started poking my cheeks.

What the actual heck?!

"What?!" I shouted.

He stared at me as if I'm an alien he again started poking me. Now, this is getting under my nerves. First he bloody leave me, then he Kisses me and yet again he leaves me in the middle of a godamn kiss.

"Poke me one more time, you are sleeping on the couch." I shouted

That's when his expressions really changed the happiness and disbelief in his face was immeasurable.

When he looked at me it was as if every ounce of my breath was taken from my lungs floating into the air like midnight smoke.

"You are really here?" It was more of a statement than a question and as if he was telling himself, making himself believe it.

Oh my!

"Yes, now come here." I whispered extending my arms.

He walked up to me slowly, into my arms and pulled me closer to him wrapping his arms around me. His embrace was warm, and his big, strong arms seemed very protective when wrapped around my body. The world around me melted away as I squeezed him back, not wanting the moment to end.

No words were spoken it was as if out bodies were making up for the lost time. The warmth was exchanged between us for our lost moments.

It was as if our bodies were moulding together never want to be separated again.

I don't know when we slowly drifted to sleep, in his strong embrace, his musky scent enveloping my sense, his heartbeat signing the most wonderful lullaby....

Hey,

Because personally when I imagined, it was so beautiful for me. If you guys too it please do tell me, I would be really happy.

STAY HEALTHY

Love
