PREVIOUS CHAPTER: "So you're meeting my boyfriend behind my back?" Came a voice behind me as I heard the door opening with the sound of chims attached to it. "Shit!" I mumbled to myself but heard the same from the person infront of me as we shared a eye contact.
-------------------------------------------------
Author's POV.: He stood up, taking a step towards his girlfriend who now stood in between him and Radha. "Listen to me-"
"You guys always do this" she whined as she turned towards Radha, "And you, have some respect I'm elder than you. I'm even your professor."
"Babe please calm down-" The guy tried to speak. [Keyword : tried.]
"What? And you mister, you're my boyfriend! Who's roming with a ring in his car since a month also didn't inform me!" She exclamed. He hugged his girlfriend while Radha smiled with embarrassment as she muttered a sorry to other customers.
Soon a chair was arranged as the guy successfully made his girlfriend sit with them. "Explain" she spoke glancing between to of them.
"Miss Shetty-"
"Cut the formalities we are not in college" Miss Priya Shetty said. Hiding her smile Radha continues
"Priya di this is just a small meet in case Romi Bhaiya had any updates on him. We did think of inviting you but-" Radha glanced at her professor's boyfriend for help.
"Because we thought to let you rest since these days have been really hectic. So I thought would update you in person, and it would be another reason to meet you in private." Romi spoke convincing his girlfriend as he carresed her knees.
Priya glanced between them and than at his hand on her knee. "Whatever." She held Radha's hand on the table, smiling assuringly before she looked back at Romi.
"Where you able you cantact him?"
Romi shook his head. Disappointment could be felt from Radha irrespective of the smile on her face.
"Although I got details of a company which I do think belongs to him." He looked at Priya
"Remember how he talked about owning one?" She nodded enthusiastically.
"I do really think this belongs to him. I'll try to get more details and see if I can get their contact number." Radha's smile widened at the information. She nodded
"When you get to contact try to see if he has any partner or something and talk to that person because there are chances he would refuse if he recognizes or understand anything."
Both the elders nodded.
"We are thinking of inviting alumni for this year's fest. I'll try to get him on the list." Priya said.
"I'm really thankful to both of you"
Anyone would feel the sincerity from her words.
"Cut it. They even own us explanation." Priya said.
"Oh and don't discuss about the fest thing with anyone I know you won't but just saying."
Radha nodded. Before she picked up her bag she got with her. "Hey wait. Get the parcel" Romi ordered his employee. A brown paper bag with the bakery's logo on it was handed to Romi as he passed to Radha.
"Your favorite order."
Thanking him and Priya once again she felt the bakery.
As I left I couldn't stop thinking, the new update Romi bhaiya shared and that guy from that night. My mind was too distracted to think straight. One second I was looking for an auto and next I was pulled by someone on the road. Alerted I pulled my arm back from the grip and looked at the person's face. Krish. "Careful there."
He said. Nodding I left from there looking for an auto.
"Hey wait up" I heard him calling.
"Krish I-" He scrunched his brows as he forwarded his hand, holding out my purse for me.
"Umm thanks"
Muttering a small welcome he walked into the same cafe.
"Kaha jana hai?" Asked an auto wala bhaiya, explaning my location before we left for the same.
By the time I came back home it was already 8:30 in the evening so decided to eat it after changing. I checked the bag and it was what I expected it to be - two veg puff and lemon tart. The puff had turned cold because of the winter so I quickly preheated them in the microwave while I made tea for myself. I was waiting for the tea to boil when my phone rang. Not looking at the I'd I picked it up.
"Oh my! You're in the kitchen."
"Oh are you cooking?"
"Does she cook for herself"
My house echoed with the questions of my relatives on the video call directed towards me.
"I'm making tea."
I answered smiling since now I couldn't just disconnect the call.
"What are you doing" My mother questioned. "
Huh? Umm Bella sent me food from a cafe so I was heating it up to have it with the tea" I answered pouring the tea into my cup.
"Why are you having tea now? at 8:30?" My masi asked.
"I've few things to complete, can't afford feeling drowsy"
I received a message from my father saying I shouldn't stay up till late. I guess he was at home. I quickly replied with an 'I'll'.
Thankfully a spam call came and I got the reason to hang up saying Bella was calling and it can be for an important assignment. I don't like lying but I had too many things going on right now. I couldn't think of talking to anyone.
"Wasn't Krish was suppose to stay at Bella's place for the night?"
I thought later shrugging and started to enjoy my food and fan girling over Damin Hardung.
After completing a episode I washed and kept everything on the kitchen platform for drying. Deciding to complete the sketches I sat back at my previous position in the evening room with my sketch book and pencil.

Instrumental music played through the speakers filling in the silence of the house. Once I completed the sketch, I clicked a picture of the same before sending it to Aditi who this design belongs to for the approval or in case she wants me to make some changes.
While waiting for her reply I opened the list of designs requested two more designs. First one was for one of our senior who was going to have her first tattoo. She said she didn't want it to be small-medium size and it should be a delicate design so noting everything about her favorites and inspiration I moved to second on the list it was Krish.
I went through his answers to get an idea for design. Rather than thinking of an idea all I think about is how frustating his behavior is. I wonder how his friends tolorate him and why any girl in her sane mind would like him. Shaking my head, I took few deep breaths before continuing my research.
Stretching my arms and legs I laid down on the carpet itself taking hold of my phone to check messges then I noticed the time and an hour has went by since I sat for the sketching and luckly I even started the design for the senior. I had the rough ideas ready and now just had to club it into a design which would suit her requests.
I was going through the reels Bella has sent me on instagram when a notification popped up. Checking it was about a request on instagram. Elesh has sent me request again? Why does he even think I would accept his request? Ignoring his request I scrolled reels for few minutes before I started with my research but for my assignments this time. I played some upbeat music so I don't get bored through it.
I hate these advertisement they distract while you're trying to concentrate on whatever work you're doing. An advertisement of amusement park popped up which reminded me of the weekend plan. Switching to the whatsapp window on laptop I questioned Bella about the same. And Bella being Bella she replied with "yeah I can't stop thinking about it. Soooo excited" I replied with three emoji faces with the rolled eyes.
After I completed the research and devided them into pointers. By the time I was done with everything it became difficult for me to keep my eyes open so I decided to sleep on the couch itself covering myself with my comforter which I bought earlier since in the late evening it starts getting cold enough to use a comforter.
