Stay tuned📍 Love you🤍
I am tired of receiving guests. All I want right now is food. As I gazed longingly at the delectable spread of chhole bhature, pani puri, kadhayi paneer, and rasogolla, I couldn't help but murmur to myself longingly, I started drooling.
Suddenly, Divye entered the room and caught me drooling over the food. I hastily covered my mouth, trying to hide my drooling, but he noticed and laughed.
"What's so amusing?" I asked hesitantly.
He took a step closer, leaned in, and whispered in my ear, "You don't need to feel embarrassed in my presence. Your secret is safe with me. However, I do expect a favor in return for keeping it." He grinned mischievously.
Could it be that he wants me to accompany him to a fresher's party? Or perhaps he's about to propose? No, that's impossible. He dislikes me.
"W-what do you mean?" I stammered.
**
"Thank goodness you're here at last. You won't believe what just happened," I exclaimed, rushing to ruhi.
"Did Divye propose to you?!" she asked, a mix of excitement and shock in her voice.
"N-" I tried to explain.
But she cut me off, "Finally, enemies to lovers!" She started jumping up and down in excitement. "You know, I've always shipped you two. You make such a perfect couple!" She continued with an excitement.
"It's not wh-"
"When's the wedding?" she eagerly inquired.
I placed my hand over her mouth to silence her. "Babe, it's not the end of the world," I said, feeling a bit irritated.
"At least you'll choose me in the end," a voice interrupted us.
I stared at him in disbelief. How delusional can he be?
"I can't handle the two of you," I said angrily, storming off towards Sam and vihaan."
**
"Hey, you look really angry. What happened?" Sam asked, concern evident in his voice.
"That guy you hang out with." I spat out, angrily.
"Quit cursing me in your head." Divye teased, trying to provoke me further.
"Yeah, maybe I should just get rid of you," I seethed, my anger boiling over.
Just then, my mom called me over to greet my uncle. Reluctantly, I walked towards them, my heart pounding in my chest seeing him. "Hello, uncle," I managed to say, my voice trembling with fear.
"I'm good, my little angel. How about you?" he replied, placing his hand on my shoulder. Panic enhanced through me, my mind racing. He began to rub my shoulder gently, his gaze fixed upon me. I glanced over at Divye, whose eyes were already locked on mine. Suddenly, he approached me, followed by Sam, Vihaan, and Ruhi.
"I'm also g-" I started to say, but before I could finish, Divye interrupted.
"Um, Pari, would you like to dance with me?" he asked, noticing the fear in my eyes.
"I would," I replied hastily, immediately taking his hand, seeking refuge from the uncomfortable situation.
Samarth stepped forward, his voice filled with authority. "Sir, would you please remove your hand?" he demanded, placing his own hand on my uncle's shoulder.
Reluctantly, my uncle withdrew his hand. Divye then placed his hand on my waist and led me to another room, while Ruhi, Sam, and Vihaan engaged in conversation with my uncle.
As I sat on the couch, Divye handed me a glass of water. Overwhelmed, I stood up and hugged him tightly, seeking solace in his comforting presence. He gently rubbed my back, providing the support I needed in that moment. At that moment, I didn't care who he was. I just needed someone to comfort me, and somehow, he was the one.
"I won't make you spill why you panicked around him. But if he ever touches you again, I won't let him get away with it," he said in a deep, angry voice.
Vihaan walked in on us. He quickly turned around and shut the door on Sam and ruhi's faces.
I pulled away from Divye in a hurry.
"Sorry to interrupt your lovey-dovey moment."
I sighed, "Vihaan, open the door and let them in, please."
Vihaan swung the door open, and Ruhi rushed in, enveloping me in a tight hug. "Hey, are you okay? I was so scared for you! Did he do something to you again?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.
"No, I just get pe-"
"Again?!" the boys exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide with worry.
"What did he do to you before?" Sam questioned, his eyebrows furrowing.
Divye's face flushed with anger, declared, "He won't be able to do anything anymore," before storming out of the room.
"Oh no," I muttered, Scared.
Without hesitation, we all ran after Divye to stop him from doing something rash.
What's going to happen!? Any guesses??
