PIHU’S POV

It was 7 in the morning when I woke up. Very thing I

did after waking up was waking up and getting ready in

an Indian attire and decided to visit the famous mandir

of Gorakhpur “THE GORAKHNATH MANDIR”. Yes!

its our house tradition to visit the Gorakhnath mandir on

our special days. And today it was dadu’s birthday and

also after my achievements I couldn’t visit here so

papa(father) wanted all of us to visit there today. Here I

was all set and went downstairs for puja and arti.

After puja and arti all of us sat in the hall to discuss

about today’s plan “Papa ji Rajputs have arrived

yesterday at night itself they called me to inform that

they will be coming to the function’s venue directly and

they are staying in the hotel right now” said my father

to dadu(grandfather). “Why didn’t you ask them to

come at our mansion?” asked my dadu. “I did papa ji

but they refused saying they won’t trouble us also they

said the young ones wants to explore the city so they

will come to the party directly.” answered my uncle.

The Rajputs are close to our family. Especially Karthik

he was my childhood bestie. We used to play together. I

still remember how he used to protect me from all the

boys not letting me talk to anyone except him. He was possessive. Thinking all our cute memories a smile

crept on my face. But then again I remembered I left for

abroad when I was in 9th standard without telling me. I

could share everything to him and if he would have

been with me so I wouldn’t had to face all my

nightmares all alone. But I still wonder will he still

remember me or not. My thoughts broke by my dadu’s

voice “Hmm they want to explore the city so ask them

to come to the Gorakhnath Temple they can join us.”

“Hmm okay papa ji I will talk to them a let you know.”

Said my uncle and went to call them. “And also

everyone its 8:00 am so get ready by 9:00 am we will

leaving in an hour as there will be ‘Puja and Yagya’ so

get ready fast” said my father. Everyone nodded and

then uncle came back saying “Okay papa ji all set they

will be joining us in the puja itself.” Listening to him

everyone nodded and moved to their room to get ready

to go.

Selecting my dress from my bagpack I was still

thinking about Karthik “Will he remember me?” asked

my sub-conscious mind. Its not like I am into him or

something but still I always saw him as my best friend.

So yeah I don’t know why but still I want him to be the

same friend who really knew me all and was always

ready to be by my side. I don’t know why but I also

need someone to rely on now so I wanted him to

remember me and talk to me. But no doubt I will be angry at him for leaving me all alone. But it wasn’t his

fault right? Asked my sub conscious mind. Still he

should have at least told me that he is leaving also even

if he didn’t he should have called me to ask about my

howabouts. Because he knew that I didn’t had a friend

other than him or should I say he didn’t let me have a

friend other than him. Shrugging all my thoughts and

deciding to be angry at him I went to change.

KARTHIK’S POV

It was 8 in the morning when I woke up by the ring of

my phone. I took my phone in my hands and picked up

the call “Bhaiiiii” it was Rehaan on the other side he

literally shouted. “It better be important Rehaan” I said

sternly in my sleepy voice. “I am sorry to disturb you

bhai but Dadu has told all of us to get ready and be

present in his room his room within an hour.” he

replied. “Why so early?” I asked. “We have to go some

temple with Singh’s. They invited us so dadu agreed.

Okay bhai I need to get ready I have to see my

sweetheart so yes get ready, Bye” he said all in one go

and ended the call before I could respond.

The word ‘Sweetheart’ rang in my mind and a sudden

possessiveness raised into me. Then I remembered I had

to see her I quickly sat up and opened my Instagram and searched for her profile. I got it on the top of the list

and I opened her profile. There was a sudden silence

inside me seeing her. “Its her, She is Pihu, she is My

Pihu” I murmured to myself. “Yes she is the one, she is

the one I was wating for” I said getting excited like a

teenage boy. A sudden smile crept on my face all this

time while I was seeing her profile. A sudden urge to be

close to her crept inside me and I jumped off my bed

going to take shower. I selected a light blue kurta to

wear “I can’t wait anymore, you don’t have to wait

anymore PIHU” I said to myself.

Taking quick shower I wore my kurta and was drying

my hair when suddenly it triggered me that ‘I left her

without even telling her will she hate me’ I thought to

myself a it hurted me when the thought of her hating me

crossed my mind. “No matter how many times I have to

win your heart but I will make you mine no matter

what.” I said to myself not loosing hope. Soon all were

ready and we drove off to the location sent by the Singhs.

PIHU’S POV

When all were ready to leave. We drove off from our

Villa. Within half an hour we reached the temple. All of

us went inside. I was seeing all the arrangements when my mother said that the Rajputs have arrived. I smiled

internally. We all went to the entrance of the temple.

Due to VIP visit the entire temple was vacant. We went

there I could only recognise the elders as I didn’t visit

the youngsters before this. I footwished all the elders

and all the young girls hugged one by one. I shook

hands with the young boys. All of them introduced

themselves one by one. All the elders went to began the

puja while we were still sitting near the small pond

inside the temple. All this time my eyes were searching

a single person Karthik Singh Rajput where is he?

I was still in my thoughts when Siddhi spoke “Guys

Karthik bhai has got some work so he will be coming in

half and hour. He told to inform Maa I will come after

informing her” she said looking at me when I nodded.

“He has got work? But what does he do?” I asked

myself. Like this only chit chat went for an hour and

that Bastard didn’t arrived yet. Puja was still going on.

We were still sitting there itself when I head my uncle’s

voice so I turned around “Pihu bacche Ansh went to buy

something for puja and all are sitting in the puja can

you please go to the venue we need someone to check

on the arrangements the puja will take long” said my

uncle. “Its ok chachu send me the address I will take my

leave” I said agreeing to go there.

I felt sad that I couldn’t see him I don’t know what this

man is doing that’s taking him so long. I sat in the car and was ready to leave. My driver stopped the car at the

enterance of the temple “What happened?” I asked him.

“Mam there is a car entering” he replied. I sighed a laid

my head on the headrest. Soon we were on the roads of

Gorakhpur and we drove towards the venue.

KARTHIK’S POV

I was in my car and I was driving on my own. I don’t

know why but I wanted to drive alone and by myself

today. I was driving when I got a call for an

international meeting. I parked my car on a side of a

road to attend the meeting not before texting Siddhi that

I will be a little late.

The meeting ended in about 45 minutes I closed my

Macbook and was ready to leave. I drove but there was

a little traffic and I was caught in it. After sometime my

eyes went on a flowers shop when I saw ORCHIDS I

remembered how much Pihu loved them. I got down

from the car and went towards the shop and asked the

shopkeeper “Can you make a bouquet of Orchids right

now I will pay you whatever amount you ask but I need

it right now.” “Okay sir I will make it but can you tell

me which colour orchids you want?” asked the

shopkeeper. I don’t know which colour she likes. “How

many colours you have?” I asked him. “Sir we have all

of them” he replied. “Hmm do one thing make separate bouquet of all the colours” I said as I didn’t knew.

“Okay sir wait a while” he replied.

After 10 minutes the traffic was over and my bouquets

were ready so I took them and drove towards the

temple. I reached there in ten minutes. When I was

entering the temple there was a car exiting the temple. I

entered the temple and footwished all the elders. I was

introduced to all the youngsters and also to Ansh I know

him he is Pihu’s brother. All this while my eyes were

searching a single figure. “Bahut late aaye aap janab

aap jisse dhundh rahe hai who intezaar karte karte kaam

se bahar chale gaye.”said my dadi teasing me.

(Translation- You are very late and the person you are

looking for was also wating for you but now as you

were late so she left for some work)

“Dadi how do you know she was also wating for me?” I

asked her out of nowhere. “It was clear in her eyes as

well she was looking for you only” she replied. I smiled

knowing that she was wating for me. “When will the

puja get over by the way?” I asked her. “Hmm in half

an hour then we will be going to hotel to change and

then leave for the party” she replied. I sighed thinking

that again I have to wait till night to see her.
