Next three days, Elira avoided Advith because she was too shy to talk to him. And Advith was furious about that. He wanted to see her, talk to her but she was hell-bent on ignoring him.

Every time he thinks of working attentively and focused. All his focus drifted toward that rainy evening. How she looked so tempting, raindrops falling on her lips, making it looks so alluring and how he kissed her in the pouring rain. He wanted to see her blushing face again. He needs to do something soon. With that, he smiled and really 'focused' on his pending work.

Meanwhile, Elira just couldn't stop thinking about that magical kiss and his confession in the pouring rain. It was so special for her. Now she is sure that whenever it will rain, the rain will make her remember him. Now the rain reminds her of him, his love and his kisses. It was so overwhelming to her. She went to sleep at night with a smile on her face and she woke up in the morning with a smile because she was dreaming of Advith. A mere thought of Advith, is enough, to decorate her cheeks with a pink hue, it's a colour of virtue and the rainbow of modesty, and proof of his electrifying kiss.

Elira interrupted their silly banners by dropping a bomb "I took Advith on an ice cream date."

The silence was all she could hear in response, so she continued "And you guys know what the fun part was-- hehe-- I made him eat mint choco ice cream forcefully" while laughing evilly.

Nidhi hissed and shouted "Yah! Mint choco? Seriously?".

" Shut up! That's not important right now. So how was the date?" Piya asked excitedly.

Rishabh came out of shock and asked "Really? YOU took him on a date? Wow! You took him, so you paid right?"

"Oh about that, No! I just ate" Elira replied cheekily.

"Then, let's say he took you on a date." Vivek teased.

"No, I took him" insisted Elira.

"How can you say that when is the one who paid" Rishabh said sarcastically.

"Offo! You guys are so dumb! I took him to Carol's on MY vehicle ok, so that means I took him on a date, not the other way around" Elira huffed while shouting at the end.

"Oh! That makes sense" Vivek replied trying hard to stop laughing.

"What makes sense huh? You know how she drives right? Poor Advith! He must be traumatised" said Rishabh.

"By the way, mint choco was too much huh, next time he won't ever take you anywhere at this rate" replied Nidhi furiously.

"Yup, she is right" Pita supported.

"Arey! What right? He enjoyed our date ok....."

Nidhi interrupted Elira "enjoyed what huh? Tell us! Exactly what part? Because I can't believe you"

"Yeah! His first date was like a nightmare-"

Elira interrupted them "What the hell! You guys are my friends or his huh? It must be a dream come true for him when he kissed----------"

"What-?"

"Kissed?-"

"Who kissed?-"

"OMG--"

All of them shouted and it was like chaos and Elira cut the call to save herself from unwanted queries and switched off her phone as they keep calling her continuously.

"Don't touch me" she shouted.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked her desperately.

"You! I hate you" cried Elira while taking two steps back.

"No, don't say that please, I love you" I said while coming closer to her, Wanting to hold her in his arms forever.

She suddenly turned around and started running away from me "No, I hate you, stay away from me"

He panicky started following her and suddenly she disappeared from his sight, he fell on his knees while shouting "Elira!"

"Elira"

"Don't leave me. Please."

"Elira!" he jerked off in his sleep only to realise, it was just a dream, more of a Nightmare.

He was covered in sweat while breathing hard. He looked at his side table to know the time, it was around 3:00 a.m. He felt suffocated, so he went to get fresh air on his balcony.

'Elira, you have become my whole life now. You can't leave me. I don't think I can live without you anymore.

No, you can't leave me. I won't let you leave me, I won't let you. You are Mine! Mine! Only Mine!"

He whispered dangerously with a gloaming glint in his eyes.

His love for her has turned into something more strong. It was slowly becoming his addiction. Now letting her go was like a sin for him.

He felt as if something is choking him. It was hard to breathe. He wanted to listen her voice. Now only she can soothe him. He dialled her number only to listen "The number you are dialling is currently switched off--" he cut the call furiously and again dialled only to get the same response.

In anger, he flanked his phone to the wall. Breathing hard, he sat on his bed while keeping his elbows on his knees.
