Mohabbatein

Love is in the air

Bandana's POV
"Oye!" Sameeksha said, I looked at her. "Mandy ka phone" She said throwing me my phone, "Mandy huh?" I said, she smiled and nodded.

"Kaha ho?" He asked, "ghar pe. Aaj off hai" I said, "cool. To please ghar aao aur kucch banake do, boht bhook lagi hai" He said. "Umm, why me!? Baaki sab kaha hai?" I asked. "Sab Ludhiana gey hai" He explained.

I sighed and agreed.

Sameeksha's POV
We reached Mandy's bungalow. Abhishek opened the door.

"Tum dono akele andar kya kar rahe the?" Bandana asked suspiciously. I chuckled.

"Woh nhi kar rahe the jo me tumhare saath karne wala hu" Mandy said getting close to her. "Shut up" She pushed him and got in.

"Tum dono khaana banao, ham yaha bethenge" I said to Bandana and Mandy.

"No. Tum dono khana banao aur ham yaha bethenge" Mandy said to me and Abhishek.

"Haan Sameeksha, ham khana banate hai" Abhishek said with a smirk on his face. I was so lost in his eyes that I didn't realise when he took me to the kitchen.

"Kya banaenge ham?" I asked.

He looked at me, "tumhe kucch hua hai kya?" He asked, I shook me head. "Alag lag rhi ho...I mean...alag nhi, par jese mujhe dekhti ho woh nazariya pehle se alag hai" He said.

I lowered my lashes. "Kucch bhi" I said walking towards the fridge.

"Shall I say it?" I thought. No, it's too early maybe.

"Alloo ke parathe banate hai" He said, "mujhe nhi aate" I said, "mujhe bhi nhi lol" He said, I made a poker face.

He took his phone out of his pocket, "pehle alloo ubaalne honge" He said.

He was watching a youtube video and was instructing me, I was simply following what he was saying.

"Dough banao" He said. "Wait, tum kya karoge fir?" I asked, "instructions dunga"  He said sitting on the kitchen shelf.

"Utro aur dough banao" I said, "order nhi, request karo" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Khud hi bana lungi" I said, "okay" He said and started biting an apple.

"Paani zaada daal dia" I said after sometime. He chuckled and came to me. "Let me help you" He said folding up his sleeves.

Hawt.

"Taarho mat please, it makes me feel uncomfortable" He said still looking at the dough. I smiled.

"Aadha aadha karte hai" He said. We were preparing the dough in the same bowl, and our hands were brushing continuously, making me feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Ho gaya" He said, "arey, Sameeksha kya kar rhi ho?" He said looking at what I did. "Aadha aata to apne haatho se chipkaya hua hai tumne, idhar do" He said.

I stood quietly. He held my right hand and carefully, removed the unnecessary flour. "Dusra" He said holding my left hand.

"Alloo dekho, me yeh karta hu" He said, I nodded.

I just love him. The way he handles me...even Bandana can't handle me like that. Sorry Bandana (A/N: Na, nikal ab, iske paas hi ja aur saathme parathe bana 😒).

"Ho gaya" I said, "mera bhi" He said.

"Tum parathe sekna" He said holding the rolling pin.

I was admiring him. He looked so cute while making parathas. He was so focused.

"Palto na usse" He said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Haan...haan" I said.

"Oii" He said touching my cheek with his index finger, applying flour on my cheek, "dhyaan kaha hai?" He asked.

"Aata laga dia!" I said, he bit his lower lip. I took some flour and touched his cheek. "Sameeksha" He said in disbelief.

"Hah! Tit for tat" I said proudly.

We made parathas and in the meanwhile played with flour.

"Face poora ganda ho gaya tumhara, ruko" He said and washed his hands. He rubbed his hands with my cheeks, removing the white flour and cleaning my face.

"Mera bhi bura haal kar dia" He said and washed his face. I was looking at his wet face. "Kya?" He asked. I shook my head and looked away.

"Me unn dono ko bulake laati hu" I said and turned. "Ruko" He said holding my elbow. I looked at him. He started pulling me closer, "Abhishek" I said placing my hands on his shoulders.

He pulled me even more closer and wrapped his arms around my waist. "A...Abhishek...kya..." I said but was too nervous that didn't even complete the sentence.

I wasn't looking at him. My hands slipped a bit down and were on his chest now.

"Sameeksha" He said and placed his index finger under my chin, to lift it up. I looked at him. Drops of water were falling from his forehead on his shirt, making him look even hotter.

"Say it" He said, "say...say what?" I asked. He smiled, "vahi jo jabse aai ho chupake rakha hai" He said. I lowered my lashes, "me samjhi nhi" I said.

"Come on, jhooth mat bolo" He said.

I knew that he knew it, so there wasn't really a point in hiding it.

"Abhishek...woh...I...I love you" I said looking in his eyes for a second. His cheeks turned a bit pink, I pushed him and turned to leave.

"Arey ruko!" He said stopping me, "kya kaha?" He asked. "Kucch nhi, hatto" I said looking down and moving left and right in order to leave.

"You said you love me" He said, holding my hands and pulling me closer. I nodded. "To jawaab sune bina jaana chahti ho?" He asked.

I kept quiet. He took my hands close to his chest, I could feel his fast heart beat. "I love you Sameeksha" He said kissing my hands, "I love you so much!!" He said pulling me into a tight hug.

Bandana and Mandy were right; it was a something I never felt before.

I was feeling so safe in his arms. And for me the way he expressed his love, meant that he was the one.
