Chapter 64 I love him so much 2

After a full day of shopping, they felt exhausted. They reached home in the evening and the next day is the festival. So they even bought a small idol of Ganesh themselves. They placed it in the prayer room. After having a light dinner they all went their respective rooms. * * * * * * Aksha Khan and her friends were sitting in a private restaurant in a mall after finishing thier shopping. They were all talking among themselves while Aksha was in a daze thinking about something. Her friends asked her what she was thinking , but she didn’t reply and brushed them off with her silence. She thought ’Today the one I saw at the mall is definitely Shriya and the people around her and was talking too looked a little familiar. She thought to herself "I saw them somewhere, but when and where ?’ and the person who was holding all the bags, who washe?. From the looks he seems to be her boyfriend and are intimate with her, but why was he wearing a cap and a mask ?’. She was in deep thought that she didn’t even realize that her friends had finished eating and were about to leave. When her friends called her name she came back to her senses and stood up to leave and hurried out forgetting the matter she was thinking earlier. * * * * * * Abhi sat on his bed and was working on his laptop. He was thinking about the kiss today, it was not his first time, he had done kiss scenes in his movies many times but it felt very different today. The feel of her mosit and creamy lips lingered on his and her caressed his lips with his fingers. He thought "Why am I thinking of it like it was my first time. I feel like a teenager who had his first kiss." With that a beautiful smile painted on his lips. Even Shriya seemed to like it which means she is accepting him. She just needs time to accept her own feelings. He swore to himself that he will wait for that day. * * * * * * Shriya sat in her room and her face is red and the color spread till her ears. She realized she also had feelings for Abhi and she thought that from now on she should tell him about her thoughts, so that he can understand that she trusts him. But somewhere deep down she was afraid that everything might be a dream and she might wake up her harsh reality. * * * * * * The next day it was time for pooja and everyone gathered in the pooja room. Even Uday and Manvi came to Abhi’s Mansion to celebrate the festival. Shriya wore the saree which Abhi has ed for her the precious day and she looked gorgeous with a light make up and the simple diamond necklace and matching earrings. Manvi wore a green silk saree with a maroon colored border and she looked traditional in her saree and jewelery. Even Abhi and Uday wore white kurthas and the atmosphere in the room looked traditional and devotional. The priest has done the pooja and all the members offered their prayers to Lord Ganesh. When the pooja is about to finish, Kunal has come to Abhi’s Mansion along with his brother. He too prayed to God and greeted everyone. He wore a cream colored kurtha when his brother wore a plain white shirt with cream coloured trousers. Abhi welcomed them and everyone gave their greetings to each other. Kunal presented everyone with a silver idol of laughing buddha while he gave a gold one to Shriya. It’s the first time Shriya met Kunal and he treated her with respect and affection. She felt he looked a little familiar and he behaved as if he know her for a long time with all familarness. He said with a smile "Happy Ganesh Chaturthi and also thank you", his words were sincere when he said the words "Thank you". Shriya who was a bit surprised stood silent holding the idol in her hands not knowing what to say. Abhi who stood beside her put a hand over her right shoulder, smiled and said "Shri, say something. He is waiting." Shriya nodded her head and said "Wish you the same and thanks for the gift". She smiled at Kunal and his brother who returned a smile to her. Manvi said "Ok, let’s go and eat. I am hungry". Shriya nodded her head gave one last confused look at Kunal and turned around to get the dishes from kitchen.
