Chapter 12

Early in the morning, she was lying on the bed, dreaming about her future. She saw herself standing beside Shivansh. Both of them were looking at each other with love  filled eyes. 

She woke up with a big smile on her lips. 

“ What a beautiful dream…”, She said with a big smile.

Originally,she had taken a leave for today but now she can't wait to go to the hospital and confess her feelings to him.

She went to Washroom and took a long shower.

She put extra effort in getting ready for him.

She had her breakfast and got ready to leave for the hospital. She opened the door and her eyes widened seeing the person standing in front of her.

“ Ronak!!”She said with widened eyes.

“ Surprise”, He said, opening his arms, asking for a hug.

Avni ran and hugged him tightly,with a wide grin.

The man is none other than her cousin, Ronak Raghuvanshi, son of  Kabir Raghuvanshi( her uncle). He is three years older than her so they have been very close to each other. Due to which,she treats him more as a best friend than a brother.

She has been working in Mumbai for the past three months, making her stay away from her family.

She got very excited seeing her best friend/ cousin, standing in front of her.

“ You here ?”, she asked him.

“ Do you want to hear everything on the door?”he asked her, raising his eyebrows.

“ Sorry!!”She said,and pulled him inside her house before closing the door, not knowing everything was observed by someone who was looking at them with fire filled eyes.

One night ago,

Shivansh was sitting in his room, thinking about what Dia had said. 

“ Does Avni also have feelings for me?”, he questioned himself.

“ Should I confess my feelings?”, he mumbled.

“ But what if I am thinking wrong and she has no feelings for me?”He questioned himself.

He was lost in his thoughts,that he didn't even notice when his mother entered his room.

She saw him sitting on the couch and noticed him lost in thoughts.

“ Shivansh”, Bhavna, his mother, said, placing her hand on his shoulder.

“ Mom," he said, looking at her.

“ When did you come?”, he asked her.

“ When you were lost in her thoughts”, his mother replied with a smile.

“ I was not thinking about Avni”, he said, without thinking anything.

“ I haven't taken Avni's name”, his mother said, raising her eyebrows in a teasing manner.

“ Mom!!”, Shivansh said, feeling embarrassed.

“ I am your mother and you can't hide anything from me. I can tell what you are thinking,just after looking in your eyes”,His mother told him.

“ Now tell me…You were thinking about Avni, right?? You have feelings for her”, his mother said to him.

“ Yes!! I want to confess my feelings but I don't know how. What if she doesn't love me?” He told his mother his thoughts.

“ Don't think unnecessary things. If you have feelings, don't hesitate to confess and leave everything else on destiny”, His mother told him.

He smiled, listening to what his mother had said. 

“ Thank you,Mom,” he said,and kept his head on her lap.

“ You are welcome”, she said, caressing his hair.

Early in the morning,he put extra efforts to get ready and leave for her house. He had gotten her address from the hospital.

When he was going towards her house, he crossed a flower shop.

He thought about buying some flowers, thinking since his mother and sister like flowers then  probably Avni should also like flowers.

He stopped his car and bought a beautiful bouquet for her.

He ignited the car and moved towards his destination. He reached her building and went towards her apartment.

As soon as he reached the floor where her apartment is, he saw her hugging a young man with a wide grin, which made his smile disappear.

He noticed their interaction,how they were talking happily to each other.

He felt pain in his hurt, seeing her happy with someone else. 

He was looking at them when she held that man’s hand and brought him inside her apartment, before closing the door.

Shivansh’s heart got broken, thinking she doesn't love him and already has someone else in her life.

Bouquet slipped from his hands and fell on the floor.

He turned around and left without turning back.

Present,

When Avni entered the house, she felt something was not right. She asked Ronak to take a rest while she thought to check outside. 

She opened the door and looked outside. She didn't see anything and only a bouquet which was lying on the floor,a little away from her apartment.

“ Who can be so heartless to throw such beautiful flowers on the floor?”, Avni thought and picked those flowers, bringing them to her house. She placed those flowers in a case,not wanting to waste them.

“ Where did these flowers come from?”, Ronak asked her, entering the hall.

“ Someone had thrown them on the floor,in front of my apartment. I can't see them getting wasted so I bring them inside the house”, Avni told him, admiring the beautiful flowers.

“ Girls and their obsession with flowers”, Ronak said, shaking his head.

“ You didn't tell me why you came here suddenly?”, she asked him.

“ Actually it was Ayush Bhai who was supposed to come here for an important project but I don't know why at the last moment,he asked me to replace him. So here I am….”, Ronak told her happily.

“ Ayush bhaiyu changed his plan at the last moment…..He had never done such a thing in the past”, Avni said, thinking about something.

“ Yeah ... .I know ... .From last month, Bhai has been doing many things,which he hadn't done in the past”, Ronak told her.

“ Why this sudden change?”, Avni thought in her mind.

“ You must be hungry. What do you want to eat?”, she asked him.

“ Anything is fine”, Ronak said, checking his cell phone.

“ Okay”, Avni said and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for him.

While cooking,she thought about Shivansh. She was very excited to tell him her feelings but now she has to wait for tomorrow.
