Whispers of a Racing Heart

Maithili’s pov:

I’m here, watching my sister pick out dresses for the past hour, and honestly, I’m over it. No, I’m not some shopping freak. If anything, there’s this strange emptiness inside me today that I can’t quite explain. On top of that, Gautham didn’t show up like he promised—so my interest in shopping is completely gone.

And then, out of nowhere, I feel those eyes. You know the ones. The kind that stir something inside you, but you can’t quite put a name to it. It’s confusing, yet there’s something magnetic about it. What is he doing here? Maybe he came with his girlfriend… wait, he’s looking right at me. He’s smiling. Why is my heart suddenly racing?

He: "Hello, my to-be bhabhi. Where’s my perfect bro?"

Me: "Hi, Raghav. He’s probably caught up with something important. He’ll be here soon."

Raghav: grins mischievously "That nerd. Oops."

Me: laughs nervously "Why are you here?"

Raghav: "Came to meet a friend."

Me: "Just a friend… or a girlfriend?"

Raghav: smirking "No, bhabhi, I came to meet Sanjay. Look, there he is. Gotta go. Catch up later!"

Me: "Yeah, bye."

Raghav: pauses "Shall I drop you? Bro’s not here anyway."

Me: forcing a smile "Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll wait for him. Plus, we’ve got tons of shopping to do—double wedding, you know."

Raghav: laughs "Yeah, right. Bye!"

Me: "Bye."

Ugh, what just happened? My heart feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest if I even think about that conversation for another second. Calm down, Maithili. Just get home, take a deep breath, and have a good sleep. Everything’s going to be fine… Yeah, that’s the spirit.
