Mudassir Faisal( yeah that's his real name) as Rishabh

So I thought Rishabh should also be included in the casting list that would make him less forgetful and he kinda have a significant role.

"your hand got stuck?"Rishabh asked, astonished.

"Yes," I showed him my left hand "and you know he didn't react at all" I looked at my watch, rubbing the dial. "like always"

"That wasn't flirting Kyra that was you being stupid!"

I glared up at him, "what do you mean?"

He gave out frustrated sigh that irked me," listen Rishabh I didn't say you to come be my love guru. You yourself came forward, tell me are you getting some benefit from it... Because it's Kalyug (age of downfall) no one does good anymore without expecting something in return?"

He shifted back transferring his optional register to the other hand.

He looked back at me, "see I'm just helping you because I know it's not easy to move on so just try whatever options that are available,"

Still not convinced I asked, "tell me your backstory who's the girl?"

He gave me a sad smile, "my story is not a love story but I know that feeling; of not accepting the truth. I know how it might be hard for you to accept that Krish doesn't love you-"

That made me take a step back, I blinked.
F

rom his mouth the words became real as if It does exist and it's not returned.

He continued, "it's more because of that you're not confessing or trying. I'm also going through something and I can't accept it. It's very difficult you know," he said with a painful look.

I came out my stupor nodding, "I wasn't aware of that I guess you're right I am scared. It's better to believe, to live with the doubt he can love me than to get a clear answer. Straight Rejection."

He nodded back in understanding, "that's why I'm saying to you, don't waste time, in these ten days just get the answer and if not returned-

I winced,

He went on," then accept it and move on. Like that you won't get deeper than you're already are now,"

He was right.

I observed him what was he going through?. Whatever it was. It must be hard.

I can't be direct and ask.
He didn't want to tell.

Everybody has a story I guess. And we all cover it with a mask.

"What? Don't look at me, you need to complete the first step by today and get the score did you read it completely?"

"No.. it has maths Rishabh I have it as my subject I don't need to go for some more," I should have taken Biology. At least there I didn't have to worry about failing.

Rishabh shook his head, "go read it completely, don't waste a day Kyra I mean it. And improve your flirting skills," He mocked.

I agreed showing my thumbs up, "of course I'm not a pro like you. "

"What you both are doing here? Don't have to go to your classes?" Krish asked as he found Rishabh and I near the window.

"Oh hey we are leaving anyway" I informed smiling.

Just hoped Rishabh to act normal not to do anything suspicious.

Krish looked at both of us skeptically, "you both were never friends," he stated.

Oh oh

I forced a laugh out, "haha we are now,"

And this wasn't suspicious.

He raised his brow watching Rishabh who was looking here and there.

Okay can we be more obvious.

"Umm.. I'm going, call me Kyra if you need my help," he left exactly doing something very suspicious.

Krish stared at his retreating figure then looked at me with a serious expression, "he's not a good guy you know he flirts around with every girl. Just be careful,"

I gave him a weird look walking, he accompanied me.

"That almost every boy does. And I am a big girl,"

I don't like it when anybody tells me what to do when I can very well decide for me. So Krish wasn't exception there.

Krish shook his head, "no Kyra you're way too innocent you-

"Krish.." I cut him off.

"Why do you care?" I looked at him. Trying to keep my heart down not to expect so much from his answer.

He leaned back frowning, "why do I care I'm your friend Kyra why do you even ask such questions?"

I shook my head saying told you heart, mumbled"right.. Why do I even ask such questions..."

Krish looked at my face with confusion crossing over his own, "are you okay? Is this your time of the month?"

My eyes widened while my cheeks turned red I held them immediately, "shut up! Krish"

He scratched his head, "so it is"

I pursed my lips, "change the topic please before we reach our classes,"

He shot me a look, "okay yeah I wanted to ask, are you going to Pratiksha's house?"

I asked him back ,"did she invite you also?"

Pratiksha invited me to her house to make tiktok videos with her I was like okayy but inside hell no and introduced her fans to second Kyra in her life. She sounded really excited about it and since she helped me teach some makeup tricks. Yeah she was really serious. The very next day she brought various catalogue, magazine went into full tutorial mode. I felt indebted someway so I said a hesitant yes. Which would have changed to a I can't come I'm not well or mummy won't allow.

But she invited Krish also?

Krish appeared uncomfortable as he explained, "she said I can come with Kyra if I want to,"

I raised my brow. If you want?

"So what have you decided ?"

I looked at him he was really expecting an answer from me. And that also a positive one.

I looked away with a heavy heart, "I don't know I mean I'm busy I have to study not everyone has rich parents from whom they can take up their future jobs without actually standing in a line or toiling for it."

He stopped his face now turned towards me just staring at me with no expression. I registered my words. Oh God.

No I opened my mouth but he beat me with his own reply, "you think that Kyra-

"No-

He turned away " I mean it's fine everyone does. It doesn't make a difference. Bye meet you in the break," he strolled in to the computer lab.

I stood there watching at the close doors.

That's what it hurts Krish it doesn't make a difference. I would always be categorized in that everyone. When will you consider me separately?

I hope it's not too late then ....

•••••

I ran out of the class for the break as I was making my way through the crowded hall. I walked into someone. Rubbing my forehead I said to the person
"Oh god I'm so sorry are you-

"Hey its okay"

Recognizing the voice we looked at each other.

Myra

"Watch out," I gave a annoyed look.

"I will but when will you get your eyes checked up," she retorted back.

I tilted my head. I wanted to talk to her. I looked around my surrounding students were still jostling out .

Not the best place.

"Follow me I want to tell you something about Abhi,"

She gave me a suspicious look.

I moved anyway.
I heard her footsteps behind.

Getting in one of the empty classrooms.

I took the teacher's seat.

"Take a seat," I said smirking.

She glared sitting down in the first seat.
"What is it Kyra?"

I leaning on the desk my hands placed on it. I started, "you have to stop with your games. It was okay till I was your target and now you're going for Abhi also?"

Her face contorted in irritation, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

I raised my brow, "you don't? So you weren't suggesting Abhi to quit Cricket ,"

She looked surprised, "how do you know? Besides, I'm his girlfriend I know what's good for him,"

"Abhi told me" I lied it was neither Abhi nor Krish. They really didn't include me.

I got it through Abhi's mother when she came last night to my house.

"He told you?" She challenged me to confirm it again.

Dang it I don't like it when she used those her nerdy clever side on me.

I folded my arms.
"It's not the point. The thing is I know since childhood Abhi loves Cricket more than anything " I looked at her "more than you,"

She bit her lip her hands curled up to fists.

I proceeded, "so you better be in line before you throw away your two-

"Three" she corrected.

I sighed, "okay three years of relationship over your stupid thinking and suggestions,"

She got up angrily, " you're threatening me!"

I laughed "it's called a warning and unforeseen situation that is your break-up. Hayee, here I'm helping out as your concerned friend you're accusing me of something.." I shook my head pretending to be disappointed.

She continued glaring at me with so much loathing that made me reconsider my words did I come out as a bitch.

"I hate you Kyra I hate you so much. You ruined my middle school life. You made fun of my height you and your friends used to bully me-

I shifted uncomfortably"I was immature then and -

She shot be a hateful glance" you never apologized never! you're too proud to do that.-

"I-I" I couldn't explain because I wasn't proud, it was something more than that.

" But don't worry I'll wait for your turn you know when Karma finds you you are down crying . I'll be there asking you how does it feel Kyra when you get to know the person you love is actually in love with someone else"

I almost drop my head which was resting on my hand she got me there speechless.

She smiled sweetly, "Bye Kyra the clock is ticking,"

Oh I think I know

Wow Krish isn't leaving any signs whether he's in love with Kyra. Seriously?

❤️❤️❤️
