21. AGASTYA'S ANGER!!

Happy Ugadi, dear readers!

Amrita looked at Agastya who folded his hands across his chest, looking at her, no scratch that, glaring her. She slowly approached him and placed her palms on his forearm which are now bare, as he folded the sleeves of his formal shirt, making him look hotter than he already was.

Did she ever tell him that he looked hotter when he is all corporate and angry? Nah! She must have not. Anyways, it is not the right time to make him aware about him being hot. She dragged her eyes away from his forearms, which is all vein-y, and looked into his eyes. She brought her best heart melting smile - as her boyfriend always described, and tilted her head "I am sorry." She said sweetly.

"Are you?" Agastya questioned. It was hard for him to ignore that smile on her face, but her stupidity did it for him. She nodded her head, responding to his question, like an innocent little girl, which she is definitely not. And that response from her did nothing to soften his anger. If anything, he is more angry now. She behaved exactly the same when she got caught, the first time, after he understood why she misbalanced the bike out of nowhere, when they didn't even start the bike! He, like a fool, gave in. Now, here they are, standing, the same way, with his girlfriend exploiting his understanding. If she thought, she is going to get a free pass, again, then she is definitely wrong and she is going to learn it the hard way this time. He only had one girlfriend and he will be damned if he let her go all reckless with her health!!

"Sorry na, Baby. Ab gussa mat karo mujh pe! I just wanted to ride the bike. You were not giving in..." She is cut off unceremoniously by her angry boyfriend "And you thought you will lie to Advitya, and get him to teach you. Consequences be damned!! Am I right or Am I right?" He cut her off sharply, very sharply, that she almost flinched.

She looked down and mumbled "Aisa nahi hai..."

Agastya just pulled back his hands and stepped back, making her miss his warmth immediately. She looked up with a pout and tired to get close to him but he held her at an arm's distance "YOU .. don't even realise how angry I am right now, do you?" When he didn't get any response, he continued "Ofcourse!! It doesn't matter to you. Amrita does what Amrita wants. That's it. End of discussion."

"No. It's not." She frowned, hurt by his words.

"Yes. It is!! You.... deliberately went behind my back, disregarded my concerns, lied to Advitya and put YOURSELF in danger!! Do you even realise how selfish and reckless that is?" He raised his voice making Amrita recoil slightly, at the harshness in his tone.

"Agar kuch serious hota toh? Kya karti tum? Mai kya karta? You know very well how it makes me feel when I see you in pain, Don't you?" His tone was unforgiving.

He is really angry.

More than Amrita expected him to be!

Amrita tried to step closer to him but he was having none of it. He shook his head and stepped back "You know!! You know how hard it is for me to see you in pain. Yet, you went on with it!! You didn't care about me. You didn't care about yourself!.." Amrita shook her head, stepping closer, again, but Agastya didn't let her. He just looked away, trying to get a grip on his anger, but how much ever he tried, he just couldn't!

"Agastya.." Amrita started but Agastya shook his head "Baat mat karo tum mujhse, Amrita! Karo jo karna hai. Mere kehne se ya rokne se kaha tum rukne wali ho? Just don't.. talk to me!" He gritted out in his anger and walked away. Amrita walked after him but before she could get to him, he walked into his room and bolted his door.
