ANOKHI' POV

We reached a fancy Italian restaurant

The guard outside immediately bowed down in a grand gesture, his forehead almost touching the ground.

"This place is really beautiful." I was busy admiring the ceiling that I didn't see where I was walking and bumped into someone.

"I'm so sor-.... Kunal?" My expressions turned from apologetic to confusion and then surprise.

"Anokhi?" The guy in front of me asked as his eyes shone in recognition.

"Yeah." I replied in a daze. Kunal was my classmate in high school in kapurthala

"How are you?"

"I'm good." I smiled.

"How long has it been? 4 years? 5?"

"Yeah, almost 5."

"You..you look beautiful as always." He complimented me as his ears turned pink.

"Uh-" I stuttered, What are you supposed to say back? Same to you?

I've never been good at receiving compliments.

"Thank you. A-" I was interrupted with the clearing of a throat. My eyes
wandered to Shaurya who was now throwing daggers at Kunal for God knows what reason.

"Oh right. Shaurya, this in Kunal, my ex-classmate." I introduced them. "And Kunal, this is Shaurya."

"Is he your Boyfriend?" Kunal asked skeptically

I was going to correct him when an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me closer to the hard, granite body beside me, rendering me speechless.

My round, owlish eyes darted to Shaurya while his own were trained on Kunal as he answered on my behalf. "Husband."

Kunal blinked at me in surprise, his eyes darting between the two of us. "You got married?"

"Um-yeah." Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, I became flustered at the way Shaurya was holding me in public. Yes, he had done that before but.....anyways

"Oh, that's great." Kunal's uncomfortable expressions contradicted his own words.

"Congratulations."

"Thanks."

This was getting awkward.

He coughed slightly, grabbing my attention. "Well, I have to be somewhere right now so I'll see you later I guess?"

"Yeah, sure. Bye."

"Bye."

"I think he still has feelings for me." I wondered out loud as I saw him exiting, my lips pulling in a grimace.

"What!?"

I looked at Shaurya. He was already glaring at me in anger.

"He asked me out during the last year of our school but I rejected him because I wasn't interested."

"He looked like a creep."

I made a face at him. "No, he isn't a creep."

As Shaurya kept staring at me blankly, my pout slowly turned into a sheepish grin and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, fine. Yes. He is a creep."

"I don't like him." I clucked my tongue, my expressions sour. Even when I rejected Kunal's several advances, he would keep following me around, staring creepily whenever he got a chance. He was a creepy stalker indeed.
