• Anirudh's POV •
I paced around my bedroom while massaging my head. I could feel a strong headache bubbling within me.
I was a fool, a complete fool to ask her that question. Couldn't I control my tongue just for once? It's been a week, a week since the supermarket incident, and a week since I was ignoring her.
What would she be thinking about me now? Shaking my head I sat on the bed with a plop when my phone rang. I gazed at the caller ID and ignored it. It rang a few times and getting frustrated I switched off the device.
I never thought that coming here, miles away from home would make me feel those forbidden emotions. Never in my wildest dreams, I dreamt of falling in love with a small 5'4 girl with eyes as deep as the ocean.
She was a storm that caused a lot of havoc in my life. She affected me deeply. My day doesn't go well without talking to her. It starts with her and ends with her, only her.

I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window ready to give the person a piece of mind when I saw Sadhana standing near her balcony and glaring at me. Ab kya kar diya maine
All smiley and sunshine Sadhana was my favourite but the glaring and scary one was my nightmare. I gulped and gave her one hesitant smile.
"Hi?", it came out more awkward than I intended
"You're ignoring me", it wasn't a question but a statement. She was glaring furiously at me, her eyes blazing with fire.
"I am not!", I instantly added afraid of her wrath. "Oh, really Mr Anirudh Chowdhury? Whenever we come face to face, tum rasta badal lete ho. You don't step out of your apartment once you come back from work. You have stopped our evening walks, we haven't talked for a week. Come on, you're the only friend I managed to make in this building", she complained twisting her lips. But the last statement of hers pinched my heart and I couldn't stop myself from asking
