ADHIRA'S POV

"Adhira ready?"I hear Sid's voice

It's been a week. Now we have come to a stage where we talk normally, you know you could tell we called it a truce.

He picked me up a few times after my work.

We eat dinner together, no matter how late it is, and talk about our day.

He listens to every single word patiently even though he hardly knows anything about the medical procedures.

He has become attached to my Jhumkas. Flickering them every time.

Now currently I'm getting ready for Ritika's engagement

Guess with who?

Obviously, you know who it is.

Siddharth's friend, Shrey Rajvansh.

"ADHIRA,Kya soch rahi ho yaar?"Siddharth asks me snapping me out.

(...Where are you lost?)

"Nothing let's leave, "I say to him

IN THE CAR

"So..?" He asks me

"So??"I ask him confused

"You don't have anything to tell me?"He asks me

"No...tum Aisa kyun puch rahe ho"I ask him

(Why are you asking me this?)

"You messaged me and then deleted it before I can see"He explains

"I messaged you...Oh, woh!"I exclaim after realizing

"Actually I met this bartender at the party where we went last time, His mother has a problem with her heart problem, He has to pay for his and his sister's education. Do you have any vacancy or something that she can apply for? I mean you can take all those interviews, Just don't give her strenuous work."I explain him

"The lady for whose treatment you paid?"His question catches me by surprise

"You, how do you know that?"I ask him

"Nurses gossip a lot, my innocent girl," He says ruffling my hair

I push his hand

"Don't spoil my hair" I say to him

"Any idea why shaadi's happening soon?"I ask him

"Your best friend's shaadi, Your bhai ka shaadi, How will I know"He says

He got to know about me calling Shrey bhai and has not stopped teasing since then.

"I hate you,"I tell to him

"We have already established that haven't we"He says with a smirk on his face

"Unless...."

"Tum na gaadi chalao chupchap"I say to him slightly slapping his shoulders.

(Shut up! and concentrate on driving)

AT THE VENUE

We wish the couple and Siddharth excuses himself to talk with a few people he knows.

"I'll be back" He whispers and leaves

"Adhira ki bacchi,I thought you hate your husband,par yaha to much aur hi chal raha hai"Shreya jumps next to me suddenly startling me.

(........... There are a lot of different things going on here)

"Shreya kuch bhi?"I say to her but I bet my cheeks were already red.

(anything?)

"Whatever makes you sleep, "She says

"Like really, please tell me you don't even like him a little bit, "Ritika asks me

"Okay maybe a little bit," I say

"Little bit se hi love hita hai"Shreya says

I glare at her and shake my head,

"What, I mean you both have gotten your hubbys,mein toh single hi paid hu. Koi dank ka ladka mil bhi nahi raha hai.Agar mil jata na toh pata lethi"She says

(........I'm still single. I'm not even getting a decent person. Trust me If I see one I'll try my luck at the same minute)

Ritika and I give her an unbelievable look.

Yeh ladki kabhi sudhregi nahi

(She's never going to change)

I couldn't help but stare at Siddharth the rest of the night.
