Part 46 - Beau (part 4)

                                    

                                          
***Arush's P.O.V***
                          
It was around 11:15am when we reached Kabir's place. The drive from the cafe where we had had our breakfast till here had passed in silence.
                          
I'm sure that something was going on in Sahana's mind because she wasn't even looking at me, and neither answering my questions in more than one word!
                          
"Sahana.... we're here" I said, parking the car inside the gate's of Kabir's compound, a little away from their villa.
                          
It was a beautiful and peaceful place, with a few flowering trees nearby, and neatly mowed grass all around the drive-way.
                          
"Are you alright?" I asked Sahana, caressing her cheeks with the back of my hand.
                          
"Huh?! Yes it is a beautiful place" Sahana said, smiling at me....a smile that didn't reach her eyes!
                          
"I had asked if you're alright...not how the place is" I said, pursing my lips.
                          
"Oh yeah I'm okay" Sahana said before unbuckling the seat belt and getting out of the car.
                          
Now I'm no expert in women or mind reading, but I have a feeling that something was bothering her. But what?! Everything was fine till we drove and even reached the cafe.
                          
She herself even kissed me! Then what could have had gone wrong?!
                          
Lost in thought, I followed Sahana and tugged her hand before she reached the door of the villa. Sahana turned to me, frowning and raising her eyebrow at me.
                          
"What's wrong?" I asked, still holding her hand and walking towards her.
                          
"Everything's fine" she said, smiling at me and moving away from me. Every thing she spoke, every second that I watched her made me feel strongly that something was definitely amiss! But what?!
                          
"Tell me else I'm not letting you go" I said, caging her in my arms.
                          
With her eyes as wide as saucers, Sahana looked around frantically, probably making sure nobody was watching us, before trying but failing to push me away and getting out of my grip.
                          
"Chodo na Arush somebody might see us" she whisper yelled, frantically trying to get out of my arms.
                          
"Oho lovebirds ka romance chal raha hai?! I thought I'd heard someone and I was right... .though, the PDA.... never knew you'd be a PDA guy Arush!" came Kabir's voice as he himself came out of villa through the open main-door.
                          
"Hey man! Sup?" I said, still not letting Sahana out of my grip, who was blushing more than ever.
                          
"Kya bhai hug-shug... I've literally seen everything in life today!! Arush and PDA! Phew!!" Kabir said dramatically, winking at me.
                          
"The right girl makes these things worth the wait, right bro?" I said, winking back at him and finally letting go off Sahana, but not completely - I laced my hand with her's, holding it in a tight grip while she still struggled to get away from me.
                          
"Don't worry Sahana... I won't mind the PDA" Kabir said, grinning at her, whose face now was the exact shade of her duppatta.
                          
"Well love-birds sorry to disturb you, but come on in" Kabir said, welcoming us into the mansion.
                          
I and Sahana followed Kabir into the villa, Sahana still trying to pry her hand out of my grip, but failing of course. Did she really thing I was going to let go off an opportunity to hold her hand?!
                          
Kabir stayed here with his parents and his younger brother who was pursuing MBA from a reputed college abroad, and was in his final year now.
                          
In the living room, a very shy Riya was seated next to Kabir's mom, looking around nervously, whilst Kabir's mom looked at her in adoration. It was no secret that she always wanted a daughter, or rather, a good daughter-in-law who'd become a daughter.
