Riya's POV.

Diya's words shocked me.

Peeyush is the one who told her about me and Ayush.

She was bickering at Peeyush for some reason. As far I understood Peeyush is angry with her for letting her father know about my stay at Ayush's abode.

She broke my marriage with Peeyiush by helping Ayush indirectly.

This might have angered Peeyush to hell.

Diya is not less, she was scolding him with some filthy words.

My heart shattered listening to her confession on the phone.

I went back to my room and called Ayush more than twice but he didn't lift my call.

I closed my eyes shut and sat in silence.

He was genuinely angry with me for choosing Peeyush and told it on my face straight away without any hesitation.

He loves me and my rejection did hurt him.

I felt sorry for him, How many times I am going to break his heart.

Bloody me! I muttered some curses.

But why I am so unaware of my feelings towards him?

I can't take his rejection at all, his anger is making me reckless.

His attention and affection make me feel secured.

This is too new for me.

Arjun always made my heart flutter where Ayush makes me feel secured.

I chased behind Arjun all the time when it comes to Ayush I sit back leisurely and waits for him with confidence.

I always felt nervous and took all the stress when I was in a relationship with Arjun.

It was full of expectations.

We both had a lot of expectations on each other.

When it comes to Ayush, he never forces me to do something which I don't like.
He doesn't have many expectations for me.

For the first time he felt disappointed about me, my decision.

Without making any late I reached the cafe and started my work.

The cafe and these works are helping me to keep myself sound both mentally physically. I thanked aunty inwardly for asked me to join Rishi's uncle.

I saw someone coming towards me wearing a mask and the thought even made me shudder.

What if he is Peeyush?

I gulped down in fear.

Why the hell he is after me?

He is still brooding over the past.

The slap, I gave him on the day.

Arjun is responsible for it a bit.

Peeyush is Arjun's friend and now a recent revelation is that he has supplied drugs to filthy rich.

Everyone knows him as a doctor and anesthetist but behind the screen, he supplies drugs to his friends and filthy rich youth at rave parties, Ayush gave me this piece of information.

I didn't believe that it's Peeyush who is behind Arjun's drug addiction.

When Nikki told me about Arjun's addiction to drugs I thought how and why he got addicted?

After Ayush's revelation, I connected the rational dots.

When I visited Arjun's office for the last time before his death when we were a couple I saw this Peeyush there with him for the first time in his life.

He talked about utter rubbish about our relationship and me.

This made Arjun angry and he fought with Peeyush and stopped talking to him.

Both of them stopped meeting each other and later we broke up and forgot about the issue.

Recently I saw him again at Arjun's funeral chatting with Keerthi.

I suspected that they both are hiding something from everyone.

My suspicion got confirmed when I and Arul caught him searching for something in Arjun's cabin after his death when we went to his office to pay homage to him at the office arranged by colleagues.

His actions are very suspicious.

This is where all it started.

He started chasing me.

Why the hell?

His eyes are eagerly waiting for me, his prey.

Arjun is his friend and it was a small dispute he commented about me something so filthy

And I slapped him.

That's it, nothing more

He held that grudge on me and started chasing me like a devil.

But why do I feel there something more than a simple grudge?

His eyes are so venomous and hold lots of spite in them.

He is disgust and shame of his profession.

The thought evoked intense loathing on him.

I shunned his presence and kept working.

His eyes are only visible and I feel something different to catch a glimpse at his stare.

As usual, he covered his face with a mask and I can't see him perfectly.

This time he didn't create any less.

He sat occupying the farthest chair from me at a corner and kept gazing at my every move.

I felt awkward too much embarrassed by his gaze.

I wanted to slap him, kick him out of the cafe, in high time.

Some of the customers observed him and chuckled at his expressions.

This irritated me.

I walked towards him hastily and stood in front of him crossing my hands.

He stood up and peeped into my eyes.

I think I feel something so familiar about his eyes.

I shook my head and looked away.

This guy is impossible I kept a grumpy face.

He chuckled at his reaction.

"Why are you after me shameless idiot?"

"How many times I need to tell you that I hate you? I hate you and wish you rot in hell."

"Go away from here b*st*rd.."I am about to slap him.

He caught my hand and dragged me towards her.

My eyes shed a few tears.

I felt different, he is so familiar, felt like home in his presence.

I closed my eyes shedding a tear.

I pushed him away and walked straight to the washroom.

" Peeyush...I" I gritted my teeth and laved the wrist he held me with his hands so tightly.

I cried again, why tears became my sole companion these days.

Why? I hit the basin with fist making a wound.

I winced in pain after taking away a piece is bangle struck in my fist.

I took away the broken pieces and throw away them in the dustbin.

I realized someone is calling me from outside.

Who is it I walked till the door and saw?....

To be continued...

Tell me how it is?
