~Vedant's POV~
"Princess"
I turned back and got shocked.
It was her.
*hiccup*
"One *hiccup* glass *hiccup* of *hiccup* water" I said to the waiter and gulped the whole in one go as soon as he handed me the glass.
What to do now? Damn.
Wait!!! My munchkin. Princess.
She is the princess? I mean, yes she is the princess but how does he know about it?
By the time, I thought all this, he had reached to her seat. I tried calling him but it was all in vain. I turned around to not let her know that I was here.
But how to call my munchkin back? God, why do you keep throwing me into dilemmas all the time?
Wait. I turned back and saw her sitting there with a little girl. What the-
No, I have gone mad. 2 saal hi hue hai 5 saal ki bacchi? Nah not possible
(It's just been two years. A five years old child? No)
Chup kar na!!!
(Just shut up)
~Shreya's POV~
"Princess" what the heaven yaar? Fir aa gaya yeh
(He came again)
I saw the same kiddo running towards me. What was his name? Oh yeah Ayush.
"Hello princess" he said looking at me at which Aru held my hand as if showing her possession on me.
"She is my Dida. Not your princess" she said to him and they both gave each other an angry look. Kya chal raha hai yaha? Mujhe bachao koi
(What is going on here? Somebody save me)
"Aru baby I am your Dida. Give me a minute okay." I took off my hand from hers and held Ayush's hand.
"So, little cutie, I told you to not call me princess again, right?"
"But I don't know your name princess" he gave me an innocent look. Oh yes that is logical.
"Shreya, now fine?"
"But I want to call you princess" he threw his innocent daggers. Haww liar. Abhi toh bola naam nahi pta tha
(He just said he doesn't know my name)
"But why? Call me Shreya. Okay leave it. Why are you here alone? Where is your 'not so big bro'?"
"Big bro there" he pointed his finger to a man sitting on a seat with his back towards me. He had kept his palm on his head and was continuously tapping his feet on the ground like we usually do in anxiety or impatience. Wait, big bro?
"Big bro?"
"Yes big bro"
Oh nice. Now let me directly talk to his big bro. Batati hu kon banegi iske big bro ki princess
(Now I will tell who would become his big bro's princess)
"Come let us meet your big bro" I said to him getting up from my seat. I somehow persuaded Aru to sit there quietly. I hope she does not cry or something.
He held my hand and walked ahead of me.
"Big broooooo" he called from behind but the man didn't reacted so we went to the front.
As soon as I moved to the different angle, my heart skipped a beat.
It was him.
I could not speak further as I saw him. He got up rubbing his face with his palm. He seemed nervous and was sweating.
We just stared at each other. I was expressionless while he looked anxious.
"Big bro, see she is princess" both of our eyes widened hearing Ayush.
"He is your big bro?" I confirmed looking at him at which he nodded.
My mouth hung open at this while he went to his big bro and pulled him downwards by his hand.
"Big bro she is princess" he tried to whisper in his ear but it was clearly audible to me while my gaze didn't leave his face.
Two years, yes. It's after two years that I am again seeing him.
No, it is not an adorable gaze. It is fierce instead. The one which desires to kill the person standing in front of me for he is the reason of all the turmoil inside me.
Well, it is debatable because he clearly does not look anyhow affected by my presence. He must have moved on. Or maybe enjoying all those moments with someone else only to end up saying "It was just an attraction"
And here I am still stuck on him. Somewhere wishing that it was all just a dream and we are still in the stage of falling for each other.
Ouch!!! crack sound from my heart
Abey bus kar nautanki
Yeah okay fine. clears throat in my mind
"Princess" Ayush again called me taking me out from my chain of thoughts.
"Yeah" I replied to him but my gaze was still fixed on him who was now reciprocating it. As soon as I realized it, I turned my head towards Ayush.
Wait, this cutie. Princess. His statement. Big bro. Vedant. What the hell?
"How dare you call me your princess?" I said showing my index finger and taking a step towards him. Honestly it was in the most dramatic manner one could ever say.
Some people from the tables around looked at us and I lowered my hand. Itni serious situation me bhi embarrassment? Why??? cries dramatically in my mind
(Embarrassment even in such serious situation?)
"What the" he took a step towards me. "I didn't call you my princess. He did" He said like a child who is being blamed for stealing someone's chocolate.
This time everyone looked at us hearing his loud voice. Wow. Great. Awesome. Idiot.
He turned towards them and opened his hands. "What?" hearing him everyone averted their gaze from us.
"Leave them and answer me." I went to the other side and stood in front of him.
"Arey succhi.......I didn't ask him to call you princess" He turned towards Ayush and passed him a glare who lowered his head forming a pout.
"Stop scaring that kid." He looked back at me and I again took a step towards him but then someone hit me from behind.
I went closer to him balancing my steps and my hands went on his shoulder. Due to the jerk, he tripped and we fell on the ground. His head was about to hit the floor so I kept my hand below it.
"What the" we said in unison closing our eyes while I was lying above him.
As I opened my eyes, I forgot to blink.
~Vedant's POV~
As I opened my eyes. I forgot to blink.
I was looking at her seraphic face. My eyes got lost in her hazel brown ones who also seemed to be lost in mine.
Her hair were falling down and brushing my cheek but they weren't a distraction to me as my gaze was fixed at the serene view in front of me.
She was lying above me with her face just few inches away from me. Her hand pressed on my chest while my hands rested on the ground. I felt like caging her in my arms and hug her to the extent of filling this two years void. At that moment, I just wanted to wrap my hands around her tightly and never let her go away.
Then I felt her other hand below my head which if wasn't there, my head would have hit the ground. Did she actually do it as a precaution? Maybe it was just a reflex. I am thinking too much.
"Big bro" I heard Ayush and came out of my thoughts. She averted her gaze at this and tried getting up while I could not look away. She again turned her face towards me.
"Vedant" I heard and it seemed like the world stopped. Her soft voice and my name, what else do I need?
"Vedant" she said louder this time and I again came back from my dreamland. What the hell am I doing?
I hummed still looking at her. "Vedant, your head"
"What?"
"Uplift your head. I am unable to get up. My hand is stuck" she said in her pleasant voice.
I moved my head a little and she got up after taking out her hand from below. I also stood up. The people around were again looking at us but turned back as I passed them a stare. They are definitely enjoying the drama.
"Dida" I saw the little girl running towards her and held her hand. "Princess" Ayush also went closer to her and held her other hand. What the-
"Munchkin" I called him and asked him to leave her but he wasn't listening to me.
"Aru dear just one more minute, sorry baby" Baby? Who calls kids baby? Wait, yeah. Kids are baby. Fine. Idiot.
She sat on her knees in front of Ayush while it seemed I was nowhere necessary to be in the frame.
"Listen, you will not call me princess again otherwise this princess will become witch." She said trying to be scary but my munchkin started giggling. "What?" she asked.
"You called yourself princess" her mouth hung open hearing him while I chuckled.
She looked at me at this and I tried to hide the laughter covering my mouth with my palm only to receive her death glare.
"Listen, this is the last time I am" she said showing her index finger to my munchkin. What the-
"Wait wait hold on. Why the hell are you scaring him?" I said entering the frame.
"I won't scare him if he stops calling me your princess" Damn, stop. Stop calling yourself 'my princess' again and again. I won't be able to control my emotions.
"Okay he won't" I replied stealing my gaze because it was getting difficult to speak looking into her eyes. She held the little girl's hand and walked away without saying anything further.
I felt like calling her name out loud and stopping her. But, it is wrong. I should not for all what I know now.
But-
Her eyes which were looking at me told a different story. It seemed as if they were lost in mine too. Her fumbling voice while she lied above me depicted as if she was affected by me. Her shaking hands clearly presented her nervousness. It felt like we went two years back and were again falling for each other in that moment. Did I misunderstand something?
(Yes you did idiot – said your great author but sadly he can't hear me)
"Big bro your princess" Arey chup ho jaa yaar
(Man shut up now)
"Munchkin, no princess" I said passing him a glare and carried him in my arms. "Now tell me what do you want to eat"
"Big bro princess gone. You sad?" Yes, extremely sad. Ouch crack sound from my heart.
Abey bus kar nautanki
Yeah fine.
