Nanmaya’s POV

I'm really frustrated with this solo practice session. He composed the song, gave it to me to practice and ordered me to text him for doubts.

‘What does he thinks of himself huh?’

Nowadays my tall tree was super busy. He was skipping classes, not practicing according to the schedule but always chatting.

He got a new friend yet he didn't tell me. I don't want to bug him because he needs other people around him and now he was not that innocent little boy but a ruthless twenty-one years old guy. Mess with Mahish Aurora, they will see hell on the earth itself.

‘But my Mahi was cute and caring to his loved ones,’ my brain stated.

‘That’s true but stop calling him yours,’ I confirmed.

‘Can’t he be ours?’ It queried.

‘Shut up and get lost,’ I declared.

Nowadays, his behavior was scaring me. I'm sure it must be a girl or else he never hid anything from me till date. I will never stop his happiness, even though it lies with another woman. I will be happy for sure and support him. I know he had many dreams about his love life and I will support him in everything which makes him happy.

"Ouch," I screamed in pain as I got a hit on my scalp.

"What the hell, Mahi?" I roared at him.

He raised an eyebrow, shooting glares and started typing on his phone. Nowadays this became a new habit for him. After understanding his language we stopped using other ways to communicate but he recently got habitual like this. I took the phone and going to hit on the floor but he caught my hand with a scared look and took it back.

As usual, he showed his cute antics by closing left eye, pulled his right ear and chanting sorry. For a few seconds, I tried to be angry but as usual, he won. I smiled and told him to repeat what he texted on the phone.

With an angry face. "I told you to practice but here you are daydreaming," he signed and kept his hands on his waist.

I pouted and hugged him tightly. He didn't push me nor hugged me back but stood like a statue. I love his height only for one reason that I perfectly fit in his arms. I can place my head on his heart and hear the most melodious rhythm in the world. His heart was running fast but trying to control as usual.

He whistled, ‘what happened?’ tune.

"I miss you," I spelled without thinking twice.

He hugged me back, placing his chin on my head.

He whistled, ‘I miss you too,’ tune.

I smiled feeling his warmth. But he pushed me softly with a sweet smile lingering on his lips.

"Let's practice," he signed with that dazzling smile.

I got my boost, so jumped to my place and blabbered. He heaved a sigh, shook his head in disappointment but with a never-ending smile.

I'm exhausted with today's practice session and I don't even want to talk. My tall tree tried to cover all the sessions which he missed. Such a music devil! I don't want to sing with him anymore. I heard his whistle and turned back.

"I don't have the energy to practice more, please leave me, my dear music devil," I exclaimed weakly joining my hands in the air.

He laughed coming towards me and smacked my temple gently. I glared but his lips are killing me with that mesmerizing smile.

"Tomorrow, I have a surprise for you," he signed with shining eyes.

I smiled because he was smiling. I nodded and went to my room. For the first time, his happy smile scared me.

I got the message to come to terrors. So, my surprise was ready. I thought it will be tonight but sharp at 4 pm.

‘Hmm, let's see what’s the surprise is?’ I said.

‘I think he’ll propose me,’ my brain said.

‘Then it’ll be in the music room but not on terrors and moreover, he’s my...’

I halted at my place looking at the scene in front of my eyes. A woman was kissing his right cheek. He closed his eyes with a smile. Immediately, I turned back talking long strides but halted listening to his, ‘stop,’ whistle tune.

I blinked to stop the tears which are dying to flow. Taking a deep breath, I turned back with a smile. He was standing in front of me with an awkward smile. She was adjusting her hair locks while blushing.

"Oops, I'm sorry to disturb your romance," I said naughtily, raising my hands in the air.

He smacked my head gently and pulled me with him. I bite my inner cheeks to control the heaviness in my heart. We stood in front of her who was smiling at us. He started typing on the phone, I tapped his left shoulder.

"Your voice is standing here, so stop that. And explain what's happening here?" I said the last line with a wink.

He smiled scratching his nape with his left hand. If this was another situation, I would laugh my heart out seeing his cute awkward expression but right now, I’m trying hard to control my tears. He side hugged her and left with a soft squeeze on her right shoulder.

"This is lips, my girlfriend," he signed looking at her.

I smiled controlling my inner turmoil but I got confused.

"Lips..." I blurted confused.
