Chapter 131 - He is different

"Dinner is ready"

To Shanaya, it was "God exists".

Rushing toward the dining table in the hall as if she was dying of hunger, Shanaya did not look at anyone on reaching the hall.

She was surely dying of embarrassment, if not from the hunger.

Trying her best to ignore Vihaan who was sitting opposite to her on the dining table, she kept her gaze fixed on the food in front of her.

She did not need to look at Vihaan to know where he was seated, for she could feel his presence.

But she very much wanted it. She wanted to see what he was wearing, how he was looking.

But more than that, she just wanted to see his face, as if, looking at it will make her feel good or at rest..

Seated not far away from both of them, grandma was looking at both of them with great interest. The smile on her face was amusing as if looking at them playing hide and seek with each other was fun for her.

Time passed but nothing change.

No doubt, three of them were playing something,

"Thank you, grandma" looking at grandma but looking back at Shana as if he wanted to have her approval, Vihaan passed a flying kiss to grandma.

Yes, they were both each other favourite.

Shana was already finding it difficult to avoid looking at Vihaan and listening to grandma, the curiosity was now killing her.

For God sake, why could not she just look at him! It was not like she would go to prison if she would look at him.

It seems God was just listening to her, for, the next moment she saw Saaransh coming through the main door with his phone in his ear.

Looking at Shana, Saaransh smiled but it stopped when he saw Vihaan opposite her on the dining table.

Shana knew he was looking at Vihaan and finding the excuse, she did look at him.

"He looks different" Spoke out her heart and mind at the same time.

Seated, Shana saw Saaransh and Vihaan looking at each other, but, she noticed they were not reacting at all.

Instead, they kept looking at each other as if ȧssessing each other's reaction to each other.

Unaware of all the awkwardness and the tension in the Hall, Mr Rathores were busy enjoying the delicious sahee panner with chapati, rice, salad, and curd.

Yes, they were one of those rich who would eat normal, would make sure no food is wasted and would value the food.

But, everyone apart from them knew what was going on, even if they were not pretending to be a part of it.

Vansh and Avni just pass a look at each other and went back to their dinner, Mrs Rathores glanced at them and Shanaya and grandma did not look at them at all.

After a minute which seemed like an hour to Shana, she saw them nodding at each other, accepting each other's presence.

That was all and yet, Shana sighed with relief.

Accepting each other presence meant a lot and Shana knew if they were ready to accept, they would someday be friends again.

At the thought of it, she looked to her left to see Vansh and Avni on her left

and she smiled looking at them.

It was nice to be back with them, to have the same comfort level and to have the same bonding.

She had just turned her attention back when she noticed Vihaan and her mind again reacted with the same idea ' He is looking different.'

The fight between her heart and mind continued for a minute and finally, her heart won.

Pretending to be all normal, she looked at him, finally.

She did not flinch when her eyes met with Vihaan and saw him looking at her.

The moment their eyes met, Shana recalled the previous night conversation with him and her heartbeat again.

The thought of him getting jealous enough to speak it indirectly was awesome.

Her mind told her to look away but her heart begged her to look at him for some more time.

And, it was her heart day.

Wearing a red tee with black joggers, he was not looking any less than the Vihaan in suits. He had the same aura and dominance.

But, he was looking different and yet handsome.

And that's when Shana realized he was wearing a tee for the first time!

She had never seen him in a tee.

That too in red colour.

Sitting opposite Shana, Vihaan's eyes were going back to Shana, again and again, as if he wanted to be sure she was sitting with him, was in his home, in his area.

As if that would stop her from fleeing.

It took a minute for Shana to accept he was wearing a red tee, he was wearing the tee of her favourite colour!

She wanted to believe it was nothing, but her heart wanted to believe he had chosen red because of her.

"Oh, shut up! He would not even know red is your favourite colour." coming back to his work, Shanaya's mind spoke.

"Did she even notice I am wearing a red tee?" speaking to himself, Vihaan glanced at Shanaya, again to see her looking at him with shock.

Ohkayy.....she did notice it.

And out of nowhere, Vihaan felt his heart beating like a drum.

What was wrong with him!? Just wondering whether she would like him in a red tee was making his heart beating furiously!

"I am crazy, totally and definitely!" murmuring to himself, he took a spoon from the vegetable soup in his bowl.

He was not going to look at Shanaya again. For God sake! She was making him mad.
