Chapter 6

  • Damini's POV
  • The plane landed and I came out of the airport as fast as I could. I was feeling nostalgic being here in India. I came back here after 10 long years...
  • My dad sent me somewhere far away due to some problems and I completed my studies there and then my parents also shifted there once my dad took VRS ( early voluntary retirement) and then I didn't feel like coming to India so I went to Dubai. I worked there and now I was a well-known architect. I designed many famous buildings there.
  • Mr Aniruddh Mathur, my dad's best friend has always been in touch with us.... . He always treated me as his own daughter, he supported me a lot and made many arrangements for me to complete my education and living and surviving in the USA.
  • He was a big businessman. My dad told me that my uncle's son is a lawyer but also wants to start a new construction company with his friends. As uncle and his son had no experience of the field so he wanted me to come to India and be a part of it. He is just like my godfather, has done so much for me and my parents that I could not deny him. So here I am, back to India.
  • I had another flight from Delhi to Chandigarh in half an hour, so I went to a cafe at the domestic airport and started sipping it. I saw a family sitting on the next table having coffee. There was a double stroller with two cute similar-looking kids were sitting.
  • Twins !!! I always had some kind of fascination towards them. I was always curious about them. I even used to think that what if I had a twin sister ?? I used to love finding the difference between the two twins.
  • I was thinking about all that and didn't even know when my thoughts took me 11 years back when I had just taken admission in a school in Delhi.......
  • Flashback
  • I realised one day in the first week of my school that a guy whose name was Sagar was staring and smiling at me all the time.
  • But somehow I could find him everywhere. I felt that he was at two places at the same time.
  • I was so confused about it so I asked my friend Anshu about it, but all the other girls who were sitting with us having lunch with us, started laughing and making fun of me saying that maybe I have developed a crush on him that's why I am seeing him everywhere.
  • Well, that was funny... but I could see him everywhere. Just one second back he was in the playground then just the very next second I saw him in class and then again I looked and found him standing in the playground and when I looked in the class he was there.
  • It didn't even come to my mind that could be two people I just thought that I was thinking too much about him because he was giving me too much attention and was always smiling at me. I was confused about it and all the girls kept teasing me.
  • Then after two days, I got to know that, there were two boys. That Sagar had a twin named Sahil... The teacher was talking to him and asked him who he was - Sagar or Sahil. He said that he was Sahil so he called for Sagar too. Both the guys were standing side by side near the teacher.
  • Now everything was clear to me I was irritated with the girls for teasing me but at the same time, it was funny too.
  • They were standing there right in front of me talking to the teacher and my favourite timepass compelled me to find a difference between them also even after looking at them for 2 minutes I could not find any difference except for the hairstyle. One of them had his hair with a left side parting while another one had almost no parting. His hair was a bit untamed.
  • Other than that they were absolutely identical as if standing in front of a mirror amazing they had the same height, same weight, same colour of the skin and hair they were just like a mirror image of each other
  • One thing was for sure, both of them were very very very handsome. Tall, fair and handsome. It was not fair for a guy to look so handsome...
  • I was still looking at them engrossed in finding the difference between them that I didn't even realise that I was staring at them. One of those guys looked and me and winked. That startled me and I looked away from him. When I looked at him again He was still smiling and smirking at me.
  • Stupid guy... He went to his desk and seated himself still looking at me. His friend whispered something to him and he grinned and again winked at me.
  • Present time.
  • The announcement was made for my flight to Chandigarh so I boarded the plane. I settled in my place but again that family with twins were sitting next to me.
  • I started playing with them. They were also identical and were wearing the same sets of clothes... I asked the mom of those kids that how can she tell them apart?
  • She smiled and said that you get to know if you live with them. I was fascinated with them.
  • They reminded me of him again. I tried to get that thought away from my mind but they crept in.
  • Flashback
  • He used to follow me like a shadow...
  • One day when he was following me everywhere, I got irritated and as I was way taller than all the girls. I tried to use that to get rid of him, as I used to think that I was unusually tall because I was 5' 8" and I thought I was as tall as him.
  • Anshu and I stopped and I said to her, " Anshu Do you know my height is 5' 8". And my mom is a bit worried that If I gain more height then it would be very difficult to find a taller groom for me. " I said laughing at that...
  • " Strange... My mom wants that I gain some height. I am just 5' 1" tall. My brother is 5' 10". He keeps teasing me... "
  • " My mom teases me that I will be 5'10" tall. And she would have to find a guy who is taller than 6 feet. " I said that because I wanted him to hear that leave me alone. Both Anshu and I started laughing.
  • I had this stupid thought in my mind that he might think that it was unusual and might stop following me. But it was a mistake and I realised it very soon...
  • After some time when the games class was over, I wanted to go inside the class but he was standing right in the middle of the door. I could not pass till he gave me the way.
  • I just said, " Excuse me... " And he gave some space to pass. I could have passed through that but I didn't want that...
  • " Excuse me .... Do you mind... ? " What I meant was to tell him to get aside but he bent towards me and said, " No I don't... " And kept standing there like that.
  • I got annoyed and I squeezed myself a bit and passed through that place. He took a deep breath... And said,
  • " Vikram what is your height? "
  • " 5' 11".... Why?? But it may increase by one or two-inch. "
  • " I am taller than you, so that makes me 6 feet tall?? If I gain some more height then our parents would have to find a girl who is at least 5'8"... Right? Sahil I have found one such girl... All the best to you... Find someone and our mom would not have to worry then....." He said that loud enough so that I could hear it...
  • Then he looked at me and wiggled his eyebrows at me and grinned.
  • Ugghhh that guy...
  • I hate him... Idiot ... Stupid... Always following me everywhere.
