Under the blanket, he slapped his forehead, cursing himself.

Krish: (In mind) 'Ab to pakka ho gaya.... something has changed in me... mein aise toh kabhi behave nahi karta tha yrr... pata nahi kyun... but aaj kal sab accha lag rha hai vo bhi sirf Radhika ke saath...bhala kyun...-'

"Because you love her........." His Heart Said

'Whatttt.....!!' 

He said it loud.

Radhika was shocked when she looked at him, but his face was covered.

Radhika: 'Kya hua...?' (She asked him)

Krish: 'Kuch nahi... kuch nahi...um dekho tv...Bas mujhe kuch yaad aa gaya tha...'

Radhika: 'Oh...theek hai...' 

She again got busy in watching k-dramas.

Krish: (In mind) 'Yrrrr...ab maen pagal ho jaunga...Agar mein sach mein usse pyar karta hoon... to....toh...pata kaise lagaun....ummmmmm....idea....meine movies mein dekha hai...agar hero ko heroin se pyaar ho jata hai to jab voh aakhein band karta hai toh use heroin ka face dikhta hai...mein bhi try karun kya...'

He hesitated and slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, Radhika's face with a divine smile appeared before him. Startled, he jerked his eyes open.

Krish: (In mind) 'Heyy....narayan...!! ab mein kya karun...mujhe to sach mein Radha ka face dikh raha hai...ab mein ye kisse confirm karun...kisse puchun...Bas ab is sankat ki ghadi main ek hi sahara hai mera....Avinash...woh hi batayega...haan...mein kal usse milne jaunga...'

Radhika turned off the TV and lay down. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, being Sunday, everyone in the house enjoyed some extra hours of sleep. However, Krish left early for Avinash's house. At Avinash's home, he was sleeping peacefully because it was only 6:00 AM. Suddenly, he was startled awake by the continuous ringing of his doorbell.

Avinash: 'Hey ram...Yeh subah subah kaun tapak pada....(He got up rubbing his eyes.....door bell was continously ringing)...are aa raha hoon...itni jaldi hai toh vapas chale jao....'

Yawning he opened the door and found Krish standing there in track suit with his black shades on.

Krish: 'Chalo mere saath...'

Avinash: 'Abee ruk...Kahan chalo...aur ek minute zara aap mujhe batane ki daya karenge ki ye subah subah darshan kis khushi main diye hain aapne...?'

Krish: 'Aree, hume jogging pe jana hai na...meine bataya toh tha...'

Avinash: 'Accha accha...paanch minute ruk main brush karke aata hoon...(He turned to go but...) Ek minute tune kab bataya mujhe...'

Krish: 'Aree bataya tha bataya tha...tujhe yad nahi hai...Ab jaldi kar mujhe tujhse bohot important baat bhi karni hai...'

Avinash: 'Accha theek hai...After a while, both were jogging on the road, and soon they reached near a tea stall.

Avinash: 'Krish... bata bhi de ab...Kya important baat karni hai...'

Krish: 'Hmm...aaja vahan chai ki tapri hai na,,, vahan baith ke baat karte hai...'

Avinash: 'Theek hai...'

They both sat on a large stone that resembled a big stool.Krish ordered two cups of tea for them, and they enjoyed the tea together after a long time. Nearly 40 minutes passed, and Avinash was waiting for Krish to say something, but Krish hadn't uttered a single word. Avinash finally said, "Bhai, tu kuch bolega bhi ki nahi? Hum yaha kabse baithe hai...aur tune che cup chai peeli hain...'

Krish: 'Kaise bolun... yahi to soch raha hoon...'

Avinash : 'Aise kya bolna hai bhai... Bol bhi de ab...'

Krish: 'Yrr mein confused hoon...ki jo mein soch raha hoon voh actual main hai ya nahi...' 

Avinash: 'Yrr ab tu mujhe batayega tab toh mein kuch keh bhi paunga... Bol le ab kripa karke...'

(He said joining his hands comically)

Krish: 'Accha sun... fir hasna mat mujhpe...(He received a death glare from Avinash this time)... Accha accha theek hai sun...dekh aaj kal na... pata nahi mujhe kya hua hai... mujhe na hamesha Radhika ke saath rehna bohot accha lagne laga hai...Dil chahta hai ki humesha vo mere aas paas rahe...uska saara attention mujhpe ho Aur pata nahi main bata nahi paa rha but I think...I am falling for her maybe...'

He sighed heavily after telling this 

Avinash didn't said anything. He looked at him without any expressions.

Krish: 'Kya hua tujhe...kuch bol na...mein kya karun...kaise clear hogi ye confusion...'

Avinash: 'Tum pagla gaye ho Krish...Pehle tum apne hi feelings mein confused ho and somewhere deep down tumhe lag raha hai ki tum apne hi biwi ke pyaar mein ho...aur usko batane ke bajaay, tum yaha aise hi chai ki tapri pe baithke, mere saath baat kar rahe ho...kyuu?'

Krish:'Kyuki...kyuki...mujhe samajh nahi aa rha hai kuch...'

Avinash: 'Hadd hai matlab....tu apni feelings ke liye khud hi confused hai...mujhe kaie samajh aayegi...Krish dekh mujhe nahi pata... tu hi idea bata mein aisa kya karu ki mera confusion dur ho...'

Avinash: 'Ummmmm....(he was scratching his head)...tu ek kam kar seedha ja aur Radhika ko bol de...'

Krish: 'Eee... tu pagal hai kya...use bolunga seedha... aur kahin mujhpe hi backfire ho gaya toh... aur agar uske dil main mere liye kuch na hua toh...Mera popat hoga voh alag aur voh hurt hogi alag...kya sochegi voh mere baare mein...'

Avinash: 'Yrrr...saari baatein toh tu khud hi keh raha hai...tu hi bata tu chahta kya hai...'

Krish: 'Abhi use kuch nahi batana...pehle khud baat pakki karni hai...fir aage sochenge...'

Avinash: 'Accha...'

Krish: 'Haan...chal ab yeh soch ke bata...ki mein use pyaar karta hoon ya nahi ye kese confirm hoga...'

Avinash: 'Accha ruk...Sochne de...'

He thought for a while...

Krish: 'Aaya idea...?'

Avinash: 'Aree ruko maharaj.... thoda samay toh dijiye...'

Krish: 'Tu na rehne de... mein khud hi pata laga lunga...'

He said taking out his phone from the pocket.

Avinash: 'Accha... ab tera phone kya karega...?'

Krish: 'Idea dega...

He typee "How to confirm if you are in love" on google...

' jo kisi ko pata nahi hota vo google ko hota hai...said Krish.

Google recommended thinking about a made-up situation where someone you care about is in serious danger. How would you respond to that?

Avinash: Lo ji... isne bhi question hi de diya ab...answer tum hi dedo...'

Krish: 'I can't even imagine this type of situation Avinash...I just want her to be happy and safe always... I don't know but I can't see my future without her...pata nahi kya jaadu kiya hai usne mujhpe....and now I have got my answer....I love her...I love Radhika...' He said the last line with his eyes closed)

Avinash: 'Congo bhai congo...atmaa prasann ho gayi ye sunke... voh bhi tere muh se...chal ab use fatafat confess bhi kar de...'
