My Crush
680 Words
Shivanya's POV
I am very nervous today. That boy is coming to see me. Bhabhi was telling me about him, but I was too distracted to listen.
I went to office after a long time yesterday. Everyone was happy to see me. I feel very nice that my employees are not scared of me. They are all like my family. After mumma- papa's death, they all have helped me a lot.
I miss them so much. I feel so shattered that my parents will not be there for my wedding, if it happens, of course. But then, I am reminded by my lovely family that they are there for me.
Except for my family, with whom I live, I have more people to love me. I lived in Delhi until I was thirteen years old. We had adopted My Anshu very recently and got him into my school. He was in the junior branch while I was in the senior branch.
It was a beautiful afternoon, when Mamu and Mami came to the school. I was shocked to see them there. Mami was in tears. It was break time and I was called in the Principal office. I was very scared to see her cry. Without telling me anything they took me to the car. Anshu was also sitting there. Seeing him I got much more scared. He also knew nothing. Mamu told us to be patient. He took us to Max Hospital. We reached the OT and I saw Nani and Nanu there, both in tears. Choti bua and Surbhi di was also there. She was engaged at that time. The wedding had 2 more years as per the muhurat. Jiju reached there soon after us. That's when they told us the heartbreaking news. Mumma and papa met with an accident. The doctors tried to save them to their best level, but they died. Mumma's last words were to didi,I remember, 'Meri Manu ki shaadi dhoom dhaam se karna. Usse is sheher mein mat rakho. Hamari yaad satayegi usse.'
She was so right. I stayed there for a month after that. Jiju got me to Mumbai and I started staying with Bhaiya. He was still in college. Mumma and papa had left me lots of money. I bought a new home here. Anshu and I lived in the same house. A few years later, after bhaiya married Bhabhi and we shifted together, selling that house. I am very thankful to all of them.
Getting back to the point, I am ready in a blue Anarkali
(Her attire)
I have made all the snacks today. All this seems like a filmy scene. They might be arriving any minute.
POV ENDS
As a queue, the bell rang, and there stood the Shukla Family. Shivam and Rajeev touched their feet and the girls folded their hands in 'namaste' as a mark of respect.
Surbhi went to the kitchen while the other ladies sat down talking, as the gents discussed work.
Shivam: Riya, call Manu.
Riya nodded and went to the kitchen
In the Kitchen
Surbhi: Hayyyyyy..... Manu. He looks so handsome. If I hadn't met Rajeev, he was the one.
Shivanya(giggling):Di, calm down. Remember you are not pregnant, don't let hormones rule over you.
Just then Riya enters the kitchen.
Riya: Okay, candidate, interview time. Go ad do your best.
Shivanya takes the tea tray and goes out of the kitchen

The living room
Dev was sitting there,clad in a black suit.
He did not know why, but he thought that this girl will be good for him. He showed he wasn't interested in this, but well, Devanshi knew her bhai better. She had even tried showing him the photo of the girl, but he did not budge.
After a while, Shivanya came to the room.
As Dev lifted his head up to see her, he found those azure eyes staring at him, as tears filled in them, she blinked them away and looked at him again.
He was shocked would be an understatement.....
Only one word was out of his mouth... 'Arundhati'....
