My One And Only - Chapter 6 Thinking About her

Sofya looked up. His chocolate brown eyes were boring into her black eyes, as if she had wronged him somehow. Behind them, she could see a hint of despair. Unable to understand what he meant, She pushed him away lightly, she was prone to not displaying her affections openly.

” Did you have too much to drink? ” She asked him warily, her eyebrows raised, trying to read his face.

” Even if I did, it has nothing to do with you! ” He muttered, walking away.

” Don’t worry, sis-in-law. Usually bro can hold his liquor! ” He apologized quickly u0026 hurried away after Arnav.

This haughtiness of his shocked Sofya. It was he who had made the first move, she was just concerned about his health and here he was, as usual being ruthless u0026 cruel.

This whole episode did not go unnoticed by Nina. Nursing her drink, she made a call.

‘ Sofya, you lost to me once… you’ll fare worse now. Let’s see how you survive this ordeal. You are a dead meat. ‘ she thought, laughing inwardly. All those things that Sofya had done to her, she would repay them back, ounce by ounce.

Arnav walked slowly towards his car, thinking about ‘ her ‘. Can it be a coincidence? What were the odds? He had no idea what made him say the exact same line to Sofya that he had said to ‘ her ‘. She was a nobody in his life. Why did he care if she dressed for someone else?

He had promised himself he would not remember her again, but seeing Sofya tonight stirred up a lot of memories.

The words ‘ You are not worthy of me ‘ echoed in his mind. His heart thumped at an odd beat, it was as if thousands of glass pieces were attacking his heart as the painful memories resurfaced.

Arnav closed his eyes u0026 took a steady breath, trying to calm himself down. The cool evening breeze did little to soothe his mind and heart. His insides were churning u0026 he was not feeling well.

” Bro, you all right? I have been trying to — ”

Advay jumped aside just in time to avoid a pool of vomit. Arnav was leaning over the car parking railing, holding his stomach, he vomited some more.

Advay dashed to the car and brought out a chilled water bottle.

” Here. ”

” Thanks. ”

Taking in large gulps of water, Arnav stared in space, trying to calm his racing heart. His face looked the usual. He had chocolate brown eyes, a perfect shaped nose and his black hair was gelled to perfection.

But Advay knew, this was just the mask he wore for the world to see. He could clearly see the sadness behind those eyes. The pain he had endured for the past several years, the hurdles in the relationships u0026 the betrayal, he knew it all. Even though he wanted to help his brother, he knew he wont let him.

He would just prefer to keep him away from all of it, protect his innocence u0026 growth. But he was not a child anymore!

” Let’s go inside. ” This pulled Advay out of his daze.

” What? No. We are going to hospital. You need a check up. ”

” No. Mr. Raizada will get mad. I don’t want to fight him again. Just let’s go. ”

Advay pursed his lips but said nothing. He was right. If Dad came to know about this, there will be another family drama, he won’t believe them, rather he won’t believe Arnav.

However, Advay made him promise to go to the hospital once the exhibition was over. Arnav agreed.

Sofya was still thinking about what Arnav had said, the place where he touched her skin was still warm. What did he mean by getting ready for others? Can’t a girl get ready for herself? Is it always to please the guys? These boys are always head over heels. They don’t understand the basic women concept, let alone their intution.

Hmmph! He really is a dummy then.

Sofya was still deep in her thoughts. Not noticing where she was going, she almost walked into Grandpa u0026 Mr. Raizada ( Arnav u0026 Advay’s dad ).

” I am so sorry Uncle. My mind was elsewhere. ” Sofya bowed, her face a deep crimson red.

” It’s ok child. ” Mr. Raizada waved away. ” Where’s Arnav? Isn’t he with you? ” he asked suddenly.

Truth be told, she had no idea where he had gone after drinking. Sofya would have liked to say so, she couldn’t care much less about his itinerary, but under the scrutinizing gaze of her grandfather, she only replied softly, ” He’s with Nina. ”

She had earlier seen both of them at the bar, so it was her natural assumption.

” I am here, Mr. Raizada. ” A cold voice answered.
