1 month later,
WE
started texting each other day in and day out.......
Days turned into weeks weeks into month..........

Nothing had changed since the past one month, except Shourya had approached me twice.
So,ummm yeah we never met after Shourya had dropped me home that day.

Vivaan and I got really close past one month. We used to talk about anything and everything below the sun, above the sun everything.......
Sometimes I would sit in the cafeteria just to text with him. Although I insisted on sharing our Insta and Fb id's , he told he didn't had an account and had avoided that topic twice. So I didn't want to force him. Moreover just to open wattpad app to have notifications from him was so romantic.  Wait did I just say it was romantic.  I think I've been bowled over by him.
Am I?

Adii had warned that having friendship with strangers that too online was dangerous.
But he was no more  a stranger to me.

"Hello" I said as I picked a call from an unknown number
"Hello Kush" there he was my known stranger.
"Yes . Who's this??" I asked deliberately hurting him.
"Oh! It's me Shourya"
"Okay"
Some how today my bitch mode was on.
"Are you free tonight"
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing Kush. Actually I wanted to talk to you. So how about we go on a dinner tonight?"
"But I don't want talk to you"
"Kush please just give me a chance. Just tonight I swear I'll never ever disturb you. Please"
So it was my time to melt.
"So Shourya, not today but tomorrow night.  I think that should be fine"
"Sure shot! Be ready by 7 in the evening I'll pick you up from your home" after few seconds"if that's fine with you"
"Ohkaaayy"
"Bye then thanks a lot for accepting. By the way so so sorry to disturb you. I think you are in your office still"
"no problem" with that I cut the call before he could say anything else.

That night I couldn't text Vivaan as I had a video call to attend.
The following day I had to leave office early to go with Shourya.

"Lucky bitch!! You are going on a date with that handsome hunk! Wish I could swap places with you"
Adi commented while I left office early that afternoon.

"So you are going for dinner with Shourya? What's special? Why all of a sudden?" Mom was continuously enquiring me since I told her that I was going with him.

"Nothing special. He just wanted to try out this new restaurant. So I'm giving him company" I somehow dodged her questions.

"Are you sure you want to go with him?" She asked me.

"Yes mom! And I'll be back soon. If you don't want then I won't be going"

"No no you go"  Actually I was lucky to have such parents. After that prom incident they didn't ask me anything and had given me my required space but yet  were there with me the whole time.

He hadn't spoken until we orders for soup.
"Somebody wanted to talk" I told
He raised his head suddenly with his mouth full of soup. I don't know why but I really found it hot. Maybe it was the effect of the soup.
"Ohh umm actually how are you doing.  How's work ?"
Seriously Shourya like seriously
"Everything's cool".
That was it.

After lunch we stood near the lounge which overlooked a highway.
"So Shourya what are you doing in life? Heard you came back to city after 2 years"

"Umm Actually working-g-g-g in a-a-a company a-a-a-s HR manager."

'Go lie to your mom she'll believe you. You doing a corporate job. Impossible' I wanted to shout at him.
But I settled for an "ohh"

Actually coming to this place wasn't a bad idea. The view was much better than his silence and his stares.  
"Kush. I'm sorry"
I was surprised.
"I shouldn't have done that that day..... it was just I felt I was used and thrown cause I had a perfect plan that day and you didn't come after me literally begging you. Trust me if not for your promise I wouldn't have attended the prom. I literally felt like shit. Actually Hima had spiked my drink and I was drunk that day. I'm so sorry Kush. So so so sorry. I shouldn't have behaved that day."

I didn't realize that tears had welled in my eyes, threatening to spill.

"It's okay Shourya. Situations , consequences happened. "

He looked me into the eyes and said "Why did you come there Kush??"

"To see your new found romance" before I even thought those words were out of my lips.

He punched his fist to the nearby pole.
He went down on both his knees and started begging me "please Kush. I'm sorry. That day I was planning to propose you. Sorry please please accept me back. I love you Kush. I can't live without you.  Please come back.  Please"

This guy has gone crazy. No Kushi No kushi no Kushi I was chanting inside

"I have a boyfriend" I blurted out.
"But we can still be friends "I gave my hand for him to get up doing the possible damage control.

He turned to wipe his tears while mine silently trickled down forming two pools on the table in front of me. It hurts even more to see him crying like this. Wish I could go hug him and wipe away all his tears.

"So really Kush. Are you in a relationship? Or is it just a reason to shoo me away. "

"I swear Shourya! We are dating. His name is Vivaan"

I opened wattpad app. Thankfully there was a message from him

>Wassup baby girl?

I flashed the screen in front of him.
Pain was evident in his eyes. 
"Can we leave" I asked not knowing how to break the silence

"Yeah sure" that was the last conversation we had for the day. Neither did we speak in the car nor when I got down.

'Was this really required Kushi?and what's with Vivaan dating thing? If you hate him so much why were those tears for.'
The minime inside me was shouting at me until the next morning while Vivaan's wattpad notifications stopped at midnight.

An:
So whom should Kushi choose?
Getting confused along with Kushi??
That's the beauty of first person narration!!
