Mohabbatein

One chance?

Shubman's POV
"I think I love you" I said all of a sudden. Ishika stopped smiling and looked away. I turned her face towards me, "I think I love you" I said again, this time with more confidence.

"You think? You think you love me?" She asked in disbelief, "umm, haan" I said unsure.

"Fuck off" She said standing up, I stood there confused, "mene kucch galat kaha?" I asked.

"Tum kamine ho ek number ke" She said. Ohkay.

"Mene soch lia tha ke shaadi ke baad me Ishika Gill banungi, apna surname change karungi. Yeh bhi decide kar lia ke kapde kese pehna karungi. Punjabi lifestyle ko apnaungi. Punjabi gaaliya takk seekh li mene Google se. You idiot, yaha takk ki mene apne baccho ke naam takk decide kar lie!!! Aur tum abhi takk sure nhi ho ke love karte ho ya nhi??" She asked.

I was just looking at her. After a couple of moments, I burst into a laughter. "I love you so much hone wali Mrs Shubman Gill" I said hugging her. She hugged me back, "naam kya soche vese? Actually kitno ke soche" I asked teasingly.

"Ishaara to karo, apni cricket team banade?" She asked with a smirk, I widened my eyes at her and blushed a bit.

Manjot's POV
"Sameeksha, suno" I said, she hummed. Her full concentration was on the food she was cooking for me. "Dekho meri taraf" I said, "dekhne jesa kya hai jo dekhu?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes.

"Mazak nhi" I said, she smiled and looked at me. "I have to talk to Bandana" I said putting pressure on tha have.

"Mandy thoda rukn..." She said but I cut her off by saying, "aur kitna rukna hai? Mene chaar din se usse baat nhi ki. Sameeksha chaar din!" I said.

"To? Ab jo hua hai, usse bahar nikalne me usko time lagega" She said. "Aur kitna time lagega?" I asked.

"Look Mandy, yeh jo bhi hua, it wasn't normal. Uske lie boht badi baat hai. Uske itne sapne the iss relationship ko lekar, sab ek pal me khatam ho gaya" She said, "jin love bites ke bareme baat karke woh sharmaa jaati thi, ab un hi marks ko mirror me dekhke roti hai" She said. I could feel how hurt Sameeksha was. I can't even imagine Bandana's pain.

I lowered my head in shame. "Mandy I know tumhari galati nhi thi, but we have to wait. Tumne abhi baat ki to ho sakta hai sab kharab ho jae aur wapas kabhi kucch normal na ho" She said. I nodded.

"Ab thodi help karo, jaake Bandana ko bhi khana khilana hai" She said, I nodded, "sab ke sab bacche hai. Pehle tumhare lie aur tumhare woh teen chamcho ke lie khana banao, fir ghar jaake Bandana ko bhi khilao" She complained. I chuckled.

Sameeksha's POV
"Bandana, actually kucch...baat karni thi" I said nervously, as I fed her. She nodded, signalling to continue.

She was in a much better state now. "Uss raat ke bareme" I said, she slowed down chewing. "Hmm, bol" She said.

"Mandy tujhse baat karna chahta hai" I said in a low voice, "ab baat karne ko bacha kya hai?" She asked looking down.

At least she's not shivering after hearing his name.

"Tu khud soch na, woh kyu karega esa kucch. Itna pyaar karta hai woh tujhse" I said, "yeh hame lagta tha" She said. "Bandana ek chance to sabko milta hai na?" I asked, "tu bol rhi hai ke me usko chance du? Tu? Dekha hai na tune mujhe, kis state me thi me?" She asked.

"Haan dekha hai, isi lie bol rhi hu. Sab theek karde. Ek baar uske saath baat karegi to sab theek ho jaega" I said.

"Mera khana ho gaya" She said making me lose my cool. "Galati usne ki, bewakoofi tu kar rhi, isme apne pet ko saza kyu de rhi hai?" I asked.

"I loved him" She said looking at me. She was about to leave, when I said "you still love him" She stopped and then walked off without saying anything.

She didn't deny, there's a chance then.
