Broken Hearts

Chapter 38

Karthik's P.O.V.

Normally until it's not too hot, I don't take a shower twice a day. But today I did. I took the longest to take a shower in a while.

I picked up my favourite jeans and t-shirt. After spraying half the bottle of perfume on my body, I made my hair.

I can't believe I am going on a date with Kriti finally. Okay may not be an official date but it is enough for me that she agreed to go somewhere with me.

I reached her house half an hour earlier but there was no sign of her. Should I go in? How will her parents react?

I called Kriti but there was no response from her side. So, I went inside the house.

The guard asked me who I want to meet and I told them that I am Kriti's friend. He then escorted me to the house.

When I entered the house, I met a lady who must be in her forties. She introduced herself as Vidya Oberoi, Kriti's mother.

I greeted her and asked for Kriti.

"Kriti, your friend's here." She shouted towards a room which might be her.

Then a head came out the room.

"Who's it?" Kriti asked her mother.

"It's me." I said turning towards her. I grinned looking at her. How can she look so beautiful even in her pyjamas? Wait she is in her pyjamas? She is still not ready?

"What are you doing here?" She asked me.

"You told that we are going out. Right?" Doesn't she remember that? Is that the reason why she is not ready?

"But, I told you to come at 5."

"It's already 4:30." I argued.

"I am not even ready yet." She said and closed the door with a bang.

"Okay I am waiting for you." I screamed so she could hear me.

I looked back at Mrs. Oberoi who was staring at me all this while.

"May I?" I asked her pointing towards the sofa.

"Oh, I am so sorry. Please have a seat."

I thanked her and sat on the sofa.

"I have never seen you around before." Mrs. Oberoi said.

"I just joined her college." I told her.

"Oh nice!"

"You might know my brother. Aayansh Singhania. He worked for Mr. Oberoi." I said.

"Oh you are Aayansh's brother. Samar would be very happy to know that Kriti is having good company. He really likes your brother." She told me.

We chit-chatted for some more time. She is a really nice lady. And I guess being Aayansh Singhania's brother really helps. Who know it might help me in the future.

I looked at my watch to see it's already past five. What is Kriti doing? Why is she taking so much time?

I knocked at her door. When she opened the door, I was shocked. She was still in her pyjamas.

"Why aren't you ready yet?"

"Why are you so punctual?" She questioned me and before I could answer her, the door was slammed shut on my face.

I again waited for her. This time luckily I didn't had to wait for long.

Kriti came out in just ten minutes. She was wearing a simple white dress. How can she make such simple outfits look so beautiful? And she looks so beautiful. I kept staring at this beautiful girl in front of me.
