CHAPTER SEVEN

‘YOU AND AADITH?’ exclaimed Mohit Shah incredulously. ‘To say that I’m astounded would be an understatement.’

Hearing the surprise and hurt in her brother’s voice as he phoned from Switzerland, Nina wished she’d told him the news herself. Instead she’d copped out and let her parents do the deed. She hadn’t felt strong enough to lie to him as well.

‘Truthfully it was a surprise to both of us as well,’ explained Nina.

‘Don’t you think this is hasty? Knowing Aadith, it’s all too easy to see how you could imagine yourself in love with him, but is he the one?’ he asked doubtfully.

Mohit and his now wife had dated for four years before they’d taken the step towards marriage. Nina and he were all too alike. They never made insane, impulsive decisions. At least not until a couple of days ago when she’d thrown caution to the winds and slept with Aadith, mused Nina.

She laughed shortly to make light of it. ‘Mohit, it is six in the morning in India and way too early for such deep and profound conversations!’ she protested. Then, ‘How does Pranav like his new school?’ she enquired about her five-year-old nephew.

Mohit did not miss her attempt to sidestep his question. His relationship with his sister had improved a lot over the recent years yet he still wasn’t comfortable enough to press the issue. He didn’t want to come across as the overbearing elder brother.

‘He can’t wait to go to school. He loves being around other kids.’

Nina heard the smile in his voice and felt a pang. ‘I miss you guys a lot,’ she said. Mohit heard the note of loneliness in her voice and wished he could be there for her. ‘So do I.’

‘And I hope you know that I’ll be there if you ever need me,’ he added shyly.

‘I do. Now, don’t get me all maudlin,’ said Nina fondly as she bid him goodbye.

Post-production work had demanded Aadith’s attention so Nina had spent the night by herself. She stretched and rolled over to the side he’d slept on just a night ago. If she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply she thought she could almost smell his scent lingering in the room.

Damn, I’m getting fanciful, she thought with a shake of her head as she slid out of bed.

A volley of congratulations greeted her at the office. It seemed as if the engagement was all everyone could talk about. Nina smiled distractedly as she put up with some good-natured ribbing from her friends. She couldn’t wait for the dust to settle and for it to become stale news.

Aadith had arranged to pick Nina up at the end of the day to have dinner with his father and grandmother. It had been a long night and an even longer day, he thought as he waited in the parking lot for Nina. As she climbed down the marble steps, with a blue chiffon duppata floating behind her, she was a sight for sore eyes. He’d been impatient to see her the whole day.
