"When you give your number to suji when you both didn't know each other did I make it a big deal?" Pooja asked me and left.

I paralysed in my spot thinking why I reacted this way!

She is right she never complains about this matter! But why did I behave like this?

When I saw Pooja talking with that man I am not angry with her talking with him but she give me her number! Her damn number.

"Rishi, Pooja is right why are you making it a big deal" raj asked me I clenched my hands in a fist looking at the door where she disappeared.

"Yes Rishi, it is her life" suji said but my heart doesn't want to listen to them because I don't like her moving with some other man closely.

In the whole night, I was thinking to talk with Pooja but if she wants to talk with me she will call me so I dropped the idea of calling her but I keep checking my phone for her message or call!

**********

In the morning when I woke up my head is aching I saw there is no message or call from Pooja.

"She is angry on you why would she will call you" raj asked me "because she can't even a spend a second without talking with me" i said checking her WhatsApp.

It showed her last seen a few minutes back but she didn't even message me.

"Rishi stop controlling her she is not your lover" raj said I stopped my breath "what did you say?" I asked him.

"Yes you are behaving like you are her lover, she is just best friend to you" raj said I closed my eyes tightly not wanting to accept that one thing!!!!

If anyone say this I would be laugh but now I didn't even get a chuckle. "Yes you are right" I said and disconnected his call.

Today I didn't wake up with Rishi phone call the whole night I didn't even sleep properly.

"Hey get up" Sri said burst into my room "what Sri" i asked her "why are you crying like this" she asked me and take tissue box from me.

"Get up and get ready for collage" she said and took out my dress "Sri I am not in the mood of going to collage" I said "no you are coming and that's final" she said.

"No" I said my voice broken "hey what happened Pooja" she asked me when she saw my tears. Sri hugged me tightly.

"Pooja don't be stupid he is just your best friend not your lover" she said my breath just stopped when I hear that word.

"What you mean" i asked her "do you think I don't know about your feelings for Rishi" she asked me I looked at her confusingly "don't act like you don't know" she said.

"If Rishi didn't talk with you for a second you will behave like a broken person if he talked with you just a second you act like you are most happiest person on earth" she said I just didn't believe what she Is telling me.

"I know it you like Rishi but Pooja stop falling for him" she said and left the room.

I sat in the bed thinking about what Sri told me but she was right. If Rishi told me something to do I will do it like he was the only one who has the right to tell me.

I think I should stop being with Rishi?

But can I?

**********

I was sitting on the dining table chair mom made me sit here forcefully "I was wondering why aren't you eating anything" she said glaring at me.

I huffed I really don't want to eat anything. I was constantly checking my phone hoping there would be any call or message but none!

"Here eat this" mom said holding a spoon full of rice but I declined "I don't want it" I said pushing her hand aside looking at my phone.

"Now" she said sternly I shook my head closing my eyes "I don't want it" I said feeling all angry.

I felt her moving her hand again I pushed her hand "I told you I don't wan—" I stopped in middle because it wasn't mom's hand.

I opened my eyes saw the most beautiful eyes which I will lost in it. "Won't you listen your bestie" Rishi asked me with a cute pout I saw mom was smiling at us.

"Come on, open your mouth" he said I opened my mouth not saying anything nor blinking my eyes.

He fed me with his own hands I ate silently not saying anything. After he fed me whole food he washed his hands and made me drink water.

"Did you look at yourself" he asked me getting up from chair and held my hands and make me stand "come let's get fresh" he said and took my hands in his take me to my room and I follow him not saying anything.

Why I felt so different be with him today?

Rishi take me to my room "wait here" he said and went to my wardrobe and start searching for a dress.

"do you think I don't know about your feelings for Rishi"

Sri words are ringing in my ears I can't remove that words. Do I have feelings for Rishi?

"It looks good" he said taking out a dress. "Go and wear it" he said and pushed me into bathroom.

After I freshen up I wore that dress and came outside saw Rishi was looking at his phone sitting on my bed.

"Rishi" I called him he raised his head and looked at me with wide eyes I felt like I was the only thing he is watching. He didn't even blink his eyes.

"Rishi" I called him I felt my cheeks are getting heat. He came out from his thoughts and cleared his throat "you—look beautiful" he said coming towards me.

We both stood there not saying anything "come let's go" he said after some time running his hand through his soft hair.

I nodded and followed him he took my hand in his and take me to his bike "where are we going?" I asked him to climb on the bike.

"You will find it" he said and start the engine and took me where he only knows.

After 15 minutes he stopped bike at the place where we two first meet. I got down from his bike it was a hill where we could see the city from here.

"Do you remember our first met" he asked me from behind I smiled remembering that memories.

Actually Rishi and I never met until we start talking almost two months. "Yep, I still remember how I slapped you" I said laughing he chuckled.

That day we both challenged that Rishi was saying that I won't come to meet him but I prove him wrong and slapped lightly on his cheek.

"By the way you remember?" I asked him crossing my arms raising my eyes brow he nodded his head smiling at me.

For some reason his smile make me clam and made me happy!

"I remember" he said we both are staring at each other "sorry for shouting at you on that day" he said taking my hands in his holding them tightly.

"I don't know why I behaved like that" he said and moved closer to me "I thought I would lost you if you move close to someone else" he said cupping my cheeks.

My heart start beating fastly his gaze was telling me an untold story which I can't read "why would you lost me?" I asked him.

"I don't know Pooja, that moment I felt like I was loosing you" he said our breaths mingle. "Promise me that you won't leave me for someone else" he asked me.

I was looking at his eyes which where I lost myself "promise me" he whispered I nodded my head. I felt my head was all dizzy that I didn't even register what is happening.

Why I like being close to him!!!

Rishi is so close to me that if one of us move our lips may touch each other. He was not moving an inch back away.

Suji?

When I remember suji I felt my heart clenched I put my hands on his chest pushed him back.

I took steps backwards creating some distance between us I felt like I was doing a crime.

Gosh!! Pooja what are you doing!!

I held my head in my hands feeling all pain "sorry i didn't mean" Rishi said I nodded my head taking breaths "it's okay" I said but didn't make eye contact with him.

It was such a awkward moment for both of us. Since our friendship started we never faced this situation I don't know what happen today.

For god sake, he has a girlfriend Pooja!!!

Stop this!!!

I was feeling all guilty for what happened just back now I don't know how can I meet suji after what happened here.

I and Rishi never be this close to each other we maintain our distance but why today?

Why did Rishi move close to me??

Why I was feeling so happy to be with him!??

Why? Why? Why?
