Chapter 21

Damini's POV

Flashback



I liked Sagar, but I loved my parents more. So I tried to keep my emotions in check.

I fainted in the school that day and Anshu told me how he picked me up and ran towards the medical room and stayed with us till my mom came to pick me up. He was looking very concerned. His concern couldn't have been fake.

I did not come to school for 3 days but my mind was getting rebellious. I was getting restless and was missing him. I wanted to see his handsome face.... his dreamy eyes and his mischievous smile.

I was a bit weak but I went to school that day. My dad took me to the doctor and then dropped me at school. I was a bit late so I had to stand outside with latecomers but I told the teacher that I was not well and hence had to go to see a doctor, which is why I was late. I showed them the medicine and prescription of the doctor and they let me go.

I went to class, but I saw him there with his friends. They all were looking at me. I heard his friend say that Sagar should tell me about his feelings.

I panicked and went out of the class again but as I was weak because I had not eaten properly, I was getting dizziness. I came back to class and settled in my seat with my head down. I was literally feeling physically mentally and emotionally weak at that moment.

His friends prompted him to say something but he did not. I was impressed with him. He sang another song for me that day and I knew that my heart was melting at that point. I looked at him and saw that intensity and honesty that I finally fell for him.

Then one day he fought with a senior student and his even older friends as he was trying to propose me and when I was trying to avoid, he was adamant to propose me.

That day I saw that he was absolutely serious about me. I could not stop myself from talking to him that day. I said thanks and also told him to take care. He was grinning like anything so I could not hide my smile.



Present time



There was a loud knock on my door I opened to see that a room service guy was standing there with my food. I had again ordered Indian food.

I told him to keep the food on the table and said thanks.

I closed the door and just when I was about to start eating there was another knock on the door. I opened the door and that man who brought my food was standing there. He looked a bit panicked.

" What happened?? "

" Ma'am I am sorry but by mistake, I gave your food in another room and his food to you. "

" So it is ok... I have not started eating it... You can take it back and give it to another room. "

" You are not angry?? "

" No... it happens.. "

" Thank you, ma'am. But sir in another room sounded furious. He will surely scold me. Can I please take this food back? "

" Ya sure... And don't worry he will not say anything.. "

" But he sounded angry when he called. " he was shaking.

" Ok, I'll try talking to him? "

" You would?? "

" Come... " he picked up the food and started walking behind me.

I knocked at the next door. The door opened and I forgot, exactly Why I had come to talk to the person staying in that room.

" Damini?? What are you doing here? " He was surprised .... no...shocked to see me at his door.

" You are staying here?? " I was shocked too... I asked another question not bothering to answering.

" Yes.... but why are you here knocking at my room? Why did you come to the guest house at this time?? .... and on top of that.... Why you are confused as hell? " he looked me from head to toe and then I realised that I was wearing shorts and a tank top.

Shit!!!

" I am here as I am living next door to you... "

" What?? Since when?? " his eyes were as big as saucers.

" Two days... "

" Same here.. "

" So why did you knock in the first place?? Did you know, We were staying here? "

" No... Actually, we both gave the order for food but apparently this man got confused and he exchanged the orders... So he came to get your food again. "

" Oh... " he looked at that man who was already scared.

" See it happens some time.. he is a bit scared... Please don't be mad at him.."

" But it was incompetence... Of course, I was mad at him... But I can forget about it this time.. as you came to his rescue. " he made a tongue in cheek comment.

" Thanks... That was nice of you... " I said.

" I will forget about it... Provided you have dinner with me right now. " He said with a smirk.

" I don't think so... I am very tired and was about to sleep after eating the food... So some other time... " I gave a faint smile.

" Oh no, miss... You were going to sleep after eating food ... just like me... So what is the problem in sharing the food as it is... Your food was already in my room and now my food is also here. "

" But..."

" I am being so calm about the fact that he served me someone else's food, just because you requested And you can't even consider my request. " He said with a smirk...

So Mr. playboy is trying his charm on me again??

" Ok fine... " I told the man to keep my food there as well. He did that said thanks to us and left.

I saw that Sagar was smiling now...

He was living in this room... That means, I saw him or Sahil that day in the balcony... If only I knew, I would have gone back to Dubai without meeting him

" Well I know I am handsome but don't look at me like that... Or I might think that you are interested in me all of a sudden. " He said and I realised that I was staring at him.

I was and he was looking so good... Extremely handsome in his white T-shirt and track pants. His muscles were visible even with his T-shirt on.

While I was wearing my icy blue silk tank top and shorts. I saw him looking at me with amusement. He mischievously smiled at me.

" What?? No... I was not... "

" Relax come sit ... Let's have food... I am really hungry..." he said with a smile.

We sat down to have our food. But he did not even look at his food.

He was looking at me with a strange expression. I just wanted to break that awkward silence.

" What did you order? " I asked him.

" Pasta and sandwiches... " he said.

Who eats sandwiches for the dinner. Weird man.

" Sandwiches for dinner?? "

" I was tired and hungry... I didn't know if the pasta I get here would be good or not so I ordered sandwiches too... "

" Ok... I ordered... Paneer lababdaar and mixed veg with parantha. " I said but he must have already seen that when he realised it was not his dinner.

" Sounds interesting..... " he smiled.

Oh god!! Tell him not to smile... Please.

" Then try some... " I said to him, as it is the food was too much for me to finish.

" I would love to... " he smiled again.

He tasted his pasta it was good. He offered it to me. I took just a spoonful and tried.

" Hmm, it is really good... But I was craving to have Indian food. So I would eat my dinner but you can take it as well. It is too much for me. " he nodded and served some of my dinner to himself.

He tasted it and nodded with appreciation.

" It is very nice... Nice flavours... Amazing taste... " he said and I smiled and nodded.
