chapter 71

" Sahil. "     The name peirced through my ears . Of all the morons I befriended why would he ? I rolled my eyes and let go off the guy who finally stood up straight head still low. He bowed and tried to leave. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back . " Wait. Where's he?" " I - I don't know. "" Then what do you know?"   He hung his head again. What a poor choice of employee he had. Could have found someone more sneaky to carry out this stalking task. " His number?" " He-he -won-won't"   One glare and he quietly handed out the phone. Exactly how much of stupid are these bunch of idiots? " Leave ."  That was all it took for him to scram off. Why even bother taking up a task you know you won't be able to handle.      Now to this Sahil. What's even his problem with me? Why stalk me? What's he so much interested in my life about? The last meeting I remember was when he was mad at me for ditching Abhijeet and stealing his crush from right under his nose. But that's been years back. We never really were in contact after that. What's with this shit now?     I walked back to the class. I ain't overthinking this, I will call him first thing in the break . For now, I need to get back to my wifey.  I entered the class and to my nightmare, Prisha was besides her all whispering and clingy. I walked over to them and stood besides the bench knocking in front of Prisha. " What?"" That's my place."" Was."" What?"" Since you won't allow me going about calling her my sister in law. I thought I might as well hit on her?" " Get up before I hit you!"" You can't. "" Aru see she's threatening me.", she whined hiding behind my love. Really? " Don't tell me-"" Vibha." , Aru glared at me . " Woah- so now you turned my wife against me?"" Uhuh"  she nodded proudly. " Aru really?"    The proffesor entered and I settled besides Sneha who gave me a sympathetic smile. " You just Wait-"  I mouthed to Prisha who mouthed back a " try me".      I forced myself throughout the lecture biting back all the curse words I wished to throw at her. The bell rung and the proffesor left . " Let's switch." Sneha got up and walked behind. " What? Why? Wait - Aru- shi? Sisy. Sister in law ? Oh hello? " , Prisha kept calling her but she didn't receive a response. " Shift ." , Aru said as she stood besides me. And I slided to the other side. " Why? Missed me?" , I teased her and she didn't even look at me as she settled her things." I just need to attend the lectures in peace. That girl won't sit quiet.", she complained. That's something I did expect. Prisha can be anything but quiet. " So what makes you think I will let you study in peace?", I challenged her. " You will ."" I will?" " You will." , that sharp rise in tone was enough to say it wasn't trust anymore but a clear cut command." Okay okay. I will. " , I quietly surrendered. I never really bothered her in between lectures though. Love and flirting aside but I won't want to mess around with her studies and career .       We didn't interact throughout the time but just having her besides me lit up my mood . It feels like I can do anything as long as she stays by my side.      It was finally break and we headed out to get something to eat. I wasn't really interested in taking out an entire colony with me but here we have Sneha , that nerd whatever was her name and my idiot cousin.      I decided to text Sahil in the meanwhile. [ On Tex ]V: We have to talk.    It's Vibhavari.          He didn't see it but not like I was expecting any reply though. " What do you want to eat?" , Prisha nudged me and I didn't bother looking up. " Just buy anything."  " You are paying?" " Like you ever pay."" Yes. I won't . " She walked away and I didn't follow them. My phone dinged. [ On text ] S: What is it ?V:  You know what. S: I am not some mind reader.V: You sent people to stalk me.   Care to explain?S: I didn't.V: The guy took your name.S: I am not the only Sahil in this world. V: You are the only Sahil I have been friends with.    Drop the act and just spit out whatever this is about. S: Let's meet up. V: Sure. S: Meet me in the evening at Sundrop Cafe. V: I am picking the location. S: Whatever. V: Meet me at BuzzCafe . S: The one near Supermarket?V: Yes.S: Fine.     You act as if I was going to kidnap you or something. V: You are talking as if you are pissed I ruined your plan to do so. S: Whatever.     I slid my phone aside as they all arrived at the table. Arushi settling besides me , the nerd besides her and Sneha and Prisha settling across us on the opposite side. " You paid for me?" , I was shocked Prisha would do that. Not like she won't but still. She shook her head." Sister in law did. "" Can you stop calling me that?", Arushi snapped at her but she shook her head again. " Stop it. ", I warned but this girl does love trouble. She shook her head. " You definitely don't want us to go around calling you half burnt half green rainforest? ", I retorted and she tossed the tissue stand at me. " Stop it.", Aru scolded me." What? She started it. "" You don't have to continue." " Fine sorry." , I apologized. Definitely not to this idiot but I don't want my beloved to be mad at me for this. " Woah- power bottom . Definitely perfect couple." , I almost choked on the food. " Shut up!" , I threw her back the same tissue holder. Aru and the nerd looked horrified while Sneha was too innocent to understand the joke , only presented a confused look. " I am done. ", I got up picking my plate and Aru's and we shifted to the other table. The girl followed behind us . Sneha sat there clueless. " They are so meanie. You don't leave me teddy.", I can hear that dramatic voice till here.    We finished our food and headed back to the class. I was still contemplating about whether I should tell her. Would that make her worry unnecessarily? Also it's not a big deal I can just manage it and it can stay as if it never happened. Well atleast I can tell her I'll be a bit late." I have to go a bit early today so I will just drop you home first. What do you want for lunch?", I asked her as we walked to the parking. She didn't seem really in mood to tolerate anything so I am trying to sound low as well. " Nothing."" Why?"" We just ate . I am not really hungry. I can just cook something if I am hungry."" You can cook? " She gave me a glare and I chuckled." Fine fine. I won't. I just don't want my darling to stay hungry that's all."" I am not five. If I can't cook , I atleast have the common sense to order or go get myself something. ", she retorted and walked ahead . " Sorry sorry. I know that. I just care for you . Okay?" She gave me a look but didn't respond. You really do know how to piss her off even without trying right Vibha?     I got on the scooter and waited for her to hop on.  I dropped her at the gate. I don't want to be late so I didn't go back with her just handed my bag. I didn't want to bother her but I don't want to argue or anything so I just handed her when she asked. " I will be back till late evening. "" Hmm. Enjoy your first day. ", she said with a smile and I returned it. None of us left. She stood there clutching her bag strap while I sat watching her. " What ? Don't have to go?" , she asked and I smirked. " No byebye kissie?" , I teased her knowing very well I'd receive an eye roll followed by a" You are impossible."    There it was. I just love to get on her nerves. I guess it's my passion. I was about to turn around when I felt a sudden pull on the handle making the vehicle lean to one side. Luckily I balanced it and it didn't fall. " What-"     I felt her lips on my cheeks." All the best." , those words didn't even make sense. I wasn't even in my senses. She left , I heard her anklets tinkle. But I sat there frozen. She kissed me. She actually kissed me. She fvcking kissed me!!       My entire face heat up and I wanted to scream. How can she just toss my world to butterfly garden and run away leaving me alone to tackle the smile that is definitely making me look like a lost mental asylum patient. I swear I am going to repay you just you wait love.         _____________________________________Author's note:Extremely sorry to all those who read this chapter before. I have fixed it.
