Destiny or Coincidence?

Athira Patel

All the boys came back from wherever they went but was keeping it a secret from us when we asked about it, which is making me pissed off literally.

I know that we need to keep it a secret from Charitha but they can at least share with me right? But these idiots are being so secretive that I glared at them throughout the dinner making them annoyed with my behaviour and surrender to me. All of them agreed and said Abhi to explain me in detail later when anyone is not there with us. 

I was somewhat relaxed but still, my anger was there on Dev because he is my friend and he needs to share it with me first. But that idiot was sharing everything with Abhi and gang by ignoring me completely. I am happy that he and Abhi are friends now but it's not fair for him to leave me behind.

He apologised so many times for that and reasoned that he wanted to see my reaction too, so he thought of keeping it a secret from me but because of my anger he reluctantly agreed to reveal the plan. He even thought that i might tease him because of his cheesy plan. 

It became even more interesting when Charitha thought that i was angry on Abhi and the rest of them because all the boys supported him. God, it was hilarious to see her expression and not to burst out then and there itself. 

She is so oblivious about everything that is happening around her but I really hope that this plan works out and Dev won't chicken out at the last moment. 

I changed into a comfortable pj's after coming to our room when Dev called me to meet him at Abhi's room. So I excused myself from the girls and went to Abhi's room. I can hear their ooh's all the way back that I blushed a little knowing that they might be thinking about this situation as something else. 

"What's up buddy," I said entering into the room with an exciting voice of mine and immediately jumped into the middle of the bed by keeping my head on Dev's lap and watching all the boys reaction with a cheeky grin on my face. They were seated on the bed with an expression of question and 'are you serious' look on their faces that I rolled my eyes at them in return.

Abhi immediately pulled me to him from Dev's lap with a look of possessiveness in his eyes that it made me want to kiss him even more because he was looking damn sexy in that look. So resisting, i just kissed his cheek and winked at him to make him cool down because we don't want the jealous tiger now. 

He placed his hands around my waist by back hugging me so that i was leaning my back onto his front side which makes us even closer than before in this angle. Of course, I don't mind the space though, in fact, I love it this way all the time. He slowly started playing with my hair while everyone was watching us with a smile or smirk on their faces. Shit, i completely forgot about them for a moment here. It tends to happen with me when i am around my beast nowadays. 

"Guys you are unbelievable," said Karthik by shaking his head from side to side that I rolled my eyes at him in return. Abhi just chuckled and placed a kiss on my right shoulder before resting his head there.

"Oh please, you are more than this when you are with Sahana" I stated with an expression of a smirk on my face that he just looked at me with wide eyes in return. 

"What? Cat got your tongue now?" I said mocking at him again feeling satisfied with my come back.

"Enough guys. Stop it Choti" said Dev with a tired look that I immediately stopped teasing Karthik and looked at my best friend to see that he was, in fact, tired and stressed out. But I can also see the worry and anxiety in his eyes that I immediately removed myself from Abhi's arms and got near to Dev by taking his hands in mine.

"Are you ok?" I asked looking at him with concern and trying to see the reason behind his worry. 

"Yes i am," He said with a small smile and nodded his head. 

"Don't Lie to me Dev. I can clearly see the worry in your eyes" I said scolding him like a mother and giving a look that says no lies but only the truth.

He took a deep breath before saying it out loud. "Athi, i am freaking out inside to say frankly," he said with a vulnerable look that I hugged him immediately. I have never seen this side of Dev except for when he proposed me and now. 

May be now i know the reason behind his worry. Hell, i think it's because of me that he is in this state today. I am the sole reason for his tension and I hate myself for that. 

I felt Abhi's hand on my shoulder giving a light comfortable squeeze that I turned to look at him to only see the encouraging and comforting smile on his face which assured that everything will be alright. 

I really don't know what I have done to deserve such a person like him. He always knows what I am thinking and going through before I even say the words out. It's like i am an open book to him and I am really glad for it. 

"Dev, Char is not like me. And we both know that." I said placing my right palm on his cheek and making him look into my eyes to see how serious i am at present and make him realise that there is nothing to worry about.

"Where did you get that thought from?" asked Dev with a look of confusion and anger in his eyes.

"It's not important now. The only thing that is important at present id for you to cool down and relax" I said taking his face into both of my hands and looking into his eyes with a pained expression which is silently conveying sorry to him for all the pain I have caused. 

"I… I.. really love her and I don't want to miss her. My fear is not because you rejected me in the past" he said looking into my eyes with a kind smile that tears started pooling around the corner of my eyes. 

"Hell, I knew that you were having feelings for Abhi from day one from the moment you met him at the pub. It was me who thought that it was just a one-time thing and there was still a chance for me. But everything happens for a reason and I accept it now" he said with so much feelings in his eyes that I smiled with teared face listening to him.

"Abhi is your destiny Choti and i accept it. I let go of you the moment you realised that you love him. And frankly speaking, i am not even regretting it a bit because I really love Charitha. Maybe I got attracted to her from the start itself but I was blind to realise it before." he said chuckling to himself and i realised that he is not talking to me anymore but was relieving in the past from the moment he saw her. 

"But now that i realised about it and got to know that i love her, I never want to lose her in my life," he said with so much love in his eyes that i am so happy looking at him. 

So I just hugged him tightly crying and laughing at the same time. He too hugged me back sincerely that I smiled knowing that we are ok and will be ok in future too. There was always guilt present inside my heart that I may have hurt Dev by rejecting him, but today it's gone and in place of that happiness occupied. 

I am happy that he moved on and choose the right girl for him. All the boys except for Abhi left to their rooms I think because no one was around us when we parted from each other to look at them. I think they might have thought of giving some space to us which is appreciable. 

We both looked at each other and laughed out loud because of our emotional breakdown a moment ago. This kind of situations arise very rarely in between us but it will be overflowing when it comes. 

"But Athi, i really want to know your opinion if this works out or not? I mean you know her well right, so you might even know if she has feelings for me or not" He said the last past almost whispering but i heard it clearly.

"Dev…The only thing you need to do is propose her confidently tomorrow without chickening out and trust me that you will be happy with the results," I said with a smile of assurance that he relaxed somewhat with my words.

"You mean to say that she too loves me back?" He asked with a hopeful look that I immediately wanted to say yes to that but stopped myself from saying because even she is my friend and i promised to keep my mouth shut. And moreover, it's not my place to reveal it. He needs to know it for himself to feel surprised and excited tomorrow. 

"I never said that Dev," I said making his hopeful look to vanish and in that place, a worried look has been plastered. So I continued "but trust me that everything will be fine at the end. Trust your love for her Dev" I said hugging him with all my assurance and love that he too returned it equally.

"Now go and sleep. You have a big day tomorrow" I said after releasing him from the hug and pushing him from the bed.

"Ya ya, you would definitely push me because you have your man now to spend time with" Said Dev with a mocking voice that I threw a pillow at him by making Abhi chuckle at me and pulled me to him again by hugging me that i sighed in content and turned in his arms to face him. 

"You look ravishing babe," he said capturing my lips with his that I sighed and returned the kiss with equal passion by placing both of my hands around his neck and he pulled me to him even more closely that our chests were touching making me feel his body heat from beneath his shirt. 

"God…. You guys are really unbelievable. At least you could wait until I leave dammit" whined Dev by throwing a pillow at us that it hit my head breaking our kiss that we both laughed at his reaction. 

He groaned loudly before closing the door and leaving the room for us. We both were laughing because his face was priceless. 

"Good, now i have you all for myself," he said after composing himself and dragging me to his lap that I stopped laughing and looked at him with a smile by placing both of my hands around his neck.

"You know how difficult it was to be away from you all this while. I was thinking about you the whole time when we were shopping" he said placing a kiss on my forehead by making me smile in return. I suddenly realised that he should tell me about the plan.

"Hey, you have to tell me about the plan," I said folding my hands in front of me and looked at him straight'

"I thought you would have forgotten about it until now" he said whining like a baby that I slapped his shoulder.

"No way sir. I need to know his plan. Afterall i am his best friend and i need to know if everything is fine" I said with fake seriousness that he pecked my lips in return by making me blush slightly. 

"Ok, what do I get in return if I tell you everything," he asked with a look of tease that I blinked at him in confusion for a moment.

"That's not fair Abhi. You said that you would tell me" I said groaning a little.

"Na Na… Nothing comes for free madam. And especially knowing that you are curious about this information is making me even more naughty" he said rubbing his hands together with a look of mischievousness as if he already planned everything and knows that it's running according to his plan. 

"You already planned it right," I asked raising an eyebrow in question to which he laughed and nodded his head in acceptance. I just groaned in return realising that I don't have any other option but to accept demands.

"Ok, what do you want in return?" I asked looking at him with a glare that he winked making me melt but still, I stood my ground.

"What I want is…." he said prolonging it and pulling me again to him that i fell on top of him making us only inches apart from each other. From this angle, I can clearly see the mischievous glint in his eyes which made me gulp in return thinking about his demand. Suddenly my heartbeat rose making him look at me with even more bright eyes knowing all too well about my situation and body. 

He slowly came near to my left ear and whispered against it that his breath touched my ear making me shiver in anticipation and to his words. 

"I want you to sleep with me tonight" he whispered that I just froze on the spot listening to his words. "And before you come to any dirty conclusion, let me clear it for you that it's just a pretty innocent sleep and nothing else," he said looking into my eyes to gauge my reaction. I just blinked my eyes repeatedly and opened and closed my mouth not able to say anything. 

He laughed looking at my reaction and stole another kiss making my heart go haywire all of a sudden. 

"You look cute when you are confused and flushed cutie pie," he said placing a kiss on my neck and whispered again "So, is that a yes then?" he asked looking at me with a hopeful look that I couldn't resist. 

Who would resist to this handsome face if he keeps on flirting with me like that and make these kinds of faces that no one could say no. Even I am a girl and that too who fell head over heels for him. Damn sure i cannot resist his charming. 

"Why all of a sudden?" I asked the only question which was running on my mind from the moment he asked.

"Because I want to spend time with my girlfriend and I want to share my bed with only one who has always been my dream girl until now," he said looking into my eyes with so much love that I drown in them.

"I always dreamed that one day i would cuddle with you on my bed and share every nonsense and nothings while sleeping and dreaming about you with you in my arms," he said making me even more, melt and fall for him.

So I just pressed my lips to him and kissed him passionately showing all my love and feelings for him which were pouring through my heart for him. 

"Yes," I said my answer to his earlier question after breaking our kiss. But immediately he captured mine again in a hot searing kiss after listening to my answer that I sighed and hugged him, even more, closer to me by responding to his kiss.
