Sonakshi's pov

We reached the shopping mall. It was really big. Jatin diya reached before us. Nisha dev and myself followed them so it took us few minutes. Dev went to park the car as nisha and me walked inside the mall.

Nisha entered inside a Saree shop as I followed her. She looked around all the Saree.  Each Saree she picks I would like it and she would ask me how is it?  It took few minutes for dev to call nisha and ask where we were....... Nisha instructed him about how to reach us.

As soon as she finished the call I said......will be that side seeing the toys. She asked do you love soft toys? I gave her a smile and left from there.

The main reason for me to move from there was that I felt like someone is following me.
I am trying to forget those horrible incidence but it always gets in my head again and again.

Silent tears traveled from my eyes to cheeks.

After few minutes nisha called Me. Sona are you done admiring the dolls. Thank god she bought me back to sense or else those...... My I am always going back to my past.

Sonakshi we need to go and meet diya and Jatin....... Dev called me and I went. Yes let's leave. I said and we all went together to the bridal and groom shopping section.

Diya was choosing Sarees with her family and jatin was diya without concentrating on his selections.

Dev and nisha were too busy teasing jatin. Diya and me liked on Saree very much but her parents said no. Things were just going on and on like this. They agree we don't agree. Finally we all like a cherry red Saree with gold works on it.

They asked diya to wear the Saree. Jatin was too curious to see diya but Diya's grandma stopped him and we all ended up teasing jatin.

Jatin control..... You can daily admire her after marriage. Dev said raising his temptations more.

Jatin don't you feel like killing the oldie...... Nisha asked him with silent giggles.

I will actually kill her but what if they delay our wedding because of her death....... He said with a smirk and everyone looked at him raising our eye brows.

I was silently admiring everyone's talks until dev approached to me.

Sonakshi aren't you hungry? He asked taking small steps towards me.

I am.... I replied with a small smile.

Then why you did not tell me? Come let's go.......he said holding my hands. I felt strange by his hold. I felt protective in his hold.

Then what about diya and jatin? I asked.

What about them?  Oh well they are done with choosing the clothes. Now they are getting back home. He replied as we walked towards the main door of the shop.

I heard a female call out my name loudly and we both turned to the direction of sound. It was our very own nisha.

Dev few steps back. She said giving us sudden shocks one after the other. Dev went back with a smile. I felt that he knows all this already as his face expressions weren't curious or shocked.

Nisha opened her back and took a doll. I know you liked this doll. So as a friend I thought to get you this. She said offering the doll to me.

No nisha I don't want. I am not a kid to play with this. I said and she smiled.

No rules that only kids should play. Please take this if your my friend. She started to blackmail me so no other choice I accepted it. Thank you I said hugging her.

Half of this hug and thanks should go to Dev also...... She said and I asked her why?  Being quite curious.

Haan actually he was the one to choose this doll. He only suspected your favourite doll......she said looking at him and me alternatively.

I went near him and thanked him too.

Okay I am going home. So meet you guys back at 11o'clock in the party. She said and I wondered what party?

What party Dev? I questioned him.

It's actually a congratulating party for jatin and diya. It's also Diya's birthday tomorrow. He said and I got excited.

Wow...... I said as he wasn't too excited but just gave me back a smile.

We both walked inside the ice cream shop but I had a feeling that someone is following me.

When I turned back to check no one was there.
I controlled myself. We both sat and he ordered chocolate ice cream as I ordered butter scotch.

In my past I would order a mixed ice cream. Mom and dad were too sweet that they won't take even a spoon from my ice cream even if I offer them.

But thinks took turn when my mom and dad gave birth to my younger sister. They forgot to Care about me. I even sometime felt that I was there burden.

The love which I have for them is not reduced from my side.

I stopped thinking this as I felt a pair of hands on my face cupping my cheeks and wiping my tears. It was dev.

Are you a cry baby?  He asked taking his hands from my cheek after wiping the tears.

No I did not cry. Some insect or dust or even hair must have gone inside my eyes causing irritation for me. I said but my pretty good lie did not satisfy him.

Oh tell it to someone else they would believe but not me okay darling. He said making me silent.

The ice cream came and I did not talk to him getting embarrassed. I did not expect that he will not believe my lie. So mean of him.

I know still now you don't trust me and keep your problems with yourself but please don't forget that I will be there to support you as a friend or even more. This words gave me confidence. I smiled and said.

My past is really horrible. I am trying to forget but it always comes back. I said as we left from the ice cream shop.

See we should always forget our past. We should not leave our past hit present or future. If you can't forget it at least share with me I will help you. He said holding my hand tightly.

We reached the car park area still now one second also he did not leave my hand. I am getting goosebumps when he is holding my hands.

As we reached near the car. He gave me a cover which he was holding for a long time in the mall.

This is for you. Tell me whether you like it. He said pushing it tightly in my hands.

I opened it and saw a very beautiful frock. It's amazing but I don't need this now. I said and he looked at me raising his eyebrows.

I want you to wear this for the night party. He said strongly.

But dev you have done lot for me giving a place to live and a place to work with meal itself is more and these thinks make me realise that I am taking you people for granted. Before I could complete he side hugged me and said.

If your thinking like this then your totally wrong. Your such a good employee and a very hard working person so I feel that I am only taking you for granted. He said but I wasn't satisfied on his reply.

He can't be too sweet. But I wasn't able to disagree with him further. So I finally ended up thanking him for his present.

I will surely wear this tonight...... I said and found a beautiful smile on his face.

He drove the car back home. I was admiring his messed up hair and tired eyes.
