Days passed by. Samar left for Mumbai to complete his course. Ridhima and Anand's entry seemed to bring a positive pace to the project, but a downward impact on Anuj and Anupama's budding relationship.
Suddenly, they were never alone in the office. If work was not the only culprit, Ridhima made sure of it.
Anuj felt Anupama growing distant. One week had passed. He was writhing over the growing distance and pain. He so wanted to hold her hand, stop her, hug her, kiss her.
Anupama was doing no better seeing him in the office. Watching him so closely, working with Ridhima, made her heart ache. Although it was what she had wished for, seeing it culminate in front of her eyes pained her on different levels.
One day, Anuj reached home. The house was bustling with a lot of chitter-chatter. He tried to understand the situation. He found GK.
Anuj: What's going on..
GK told in a sad tone: Anupama ne mujhe bataya that she wants to plan the Uttarayan festival to cheer Mukku up. Ridhima heard it somehow and she.. He went silent.
Anuj gave an understanding nod: Hijacked Anupama's plan and made her own
GK nodded: But I must say Anupama's idea was awesome. See how cheerful Mukku is
Anuj adored Mukku enjoying with Ridhima and the girl gang. He went towards his room: Idea sahi hai but not the person
He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. He reminisced the kiss, the softness, the lingering flavour, her shy eyes. He touched his lips and whispered: A..........n...............u... please say yes
He suddenly felt someone touching his thighs. He instantly rose up: Ridhima what are you doing stay away please... some boundaries.
Ridhima sat by his side: Why you are behaving like I have not touched you earlier.. we have not fucked the boundaries
Anuj shook his head with a sarcastic chuckle: Finally in your truer form... must be tired of the act of innocence.
Ridhima smirked: Like you are some sort of saint.. not pulling up the act of prince charming lover.. but for whom let me guess let me guess... Anupama
Anuj gave a muffled chuckle: I just forgot how the word toxic sounded.
Ridhima bent over him: And I just forgot how you used to love this toxicity.
He pushed her a little away: You know what is the beauty of today. He hatefully gnawed into her eyes: It was in the past... nothing of my present belongs to you. He added in a stern voice: Stay away.
Ridhima chuckled: You know I find this very hot in my man.. the resistance...
Anuj called Mukku loudly: Mukkku Mukkkkkkkuuuuu
He warned Ridhima: Don't just don't.. not yours.. not in seven lives.. get medical help if needed.. delulu is definitely not the solulu..
Malvika entered: Kya hua bhai
Anuj smiled: Mukku please make sure na no one disturbs me... please keep everyone out on the terrace only. You know I don't like anyone entering my room.
He shouted: Kamal Kamal
Kamal rushed: Yes Sir.
Anuj added sternly: How many times I have to tell you no one, I mean no one, is allowed in my room, not even GK Kaka.. do you get that.. is it clear..
Kamal nodded: Yes Sir. Ridhima scowled towards Kamal and left the room angrily.
Mukku added softly: Sorry Bhai.
Anuj shook his head: Mukku it's just that my room is the only place where I can be me, not the usual high-class suited booted perfectionist The Anuj Kapadia. I can be me. I don't want anyone in my room.
