BOLD ITALIC- Pragya
Italic- Abhi

At her house,

Why are you here now? Go to your so called childhood friend!

I can't believe you are still hanging on to her. Let's watch some movie yaar. Let me check what DVDs you have.

He said and walked near the rack that she have DVDs.

I am serious here. And why she smirked at me that way? I can't stand it at all!

When was this? I don't know!

At your press meet! I came there late just because you asked me to and she was standing beside you giving that irritating smirk!

Oh.... I didn't notice that. Anyways ignore it. Let's watch this!

I am not done yet! Then what was the chuckling between both of you.

I would have cracked some joke with her. So we would have chuckled!

He said which angered her more.

Oye! What did you say to her?

Nothing yaar.... I just said you are boring to hang out with.

Boring? Then why are you with me all the time?

Correction my dear, not all the time. I am only with you after 7 pm.

Hello! After 7 pm to 7 am and that almost everyday, is not all the time?

Sssh.... What if your family hears us? You better go and sleep now. I will talk to you later.

Maa!!! Maa!!!

She screamed which made Abhi taken aback.

Are you crazy? What if your parents come here?

I don't care Mr. Rockstar! Let them see how the rockstar is sneeking inside the room of the person he hates!

I don't hate you! You know that!

But to the world, we share hate towards each other.

Enough Pragya! I am hiding inside your wardrobe and will handle you after sometime.

He replied as he heard footsteps of someone coming close to her room.

After convincing her mum that she got scared of seeing a cockroach, she closed her room door.

You can come out now!

He came out and asked whether he was a cockroach to her?

Sometimes!

She replied trying to control her laughter.

You know that I don't like cockroach!

Yes but I like big cockroaches like you!

Stop it! I can't bear the word cockroach itself. It irks me.

Okok! Now what are we going to do?

What we will do other than watching movies? You have strictly said no to my demands!

He sighed.

She then replied, You have to be patient for your demands. After marriage your demands will be fulfilled every minute of the day.

She then looked away blushing of what she had said.

Waah... Every minute of the day. I can't wait man!

Me too!

Stop it! You are just tempting me. Stop blushing now.

It's automatic. By the way, I saw Aliya today at college.

Aliya at your college? Now this sounds serious.

Yes she was talking to the Principal. I guess it is about me.

Shit! That means you can't skip classes now.

I myself felt bad for skipping classes as a lecturer. But thank god, it was not so important classes. Now that your sister was there, it is a reminder that I need to concentrate on my work.

Damn! My sister is ahead of us. Now how will we meet each other.

We are meeting each other. What is this now that we are doing?

But we can't meet in the day time! Do you know how badly I will miss you?

Abhi, stop being like this. You're in a creative work so you can work as and when you like but I am not like that na.

Then leave this job of yours. You write well right? Just join as a lyricist for me.

Ya then you will work on me instead of working!

Not at all! I don't mix profession with personal life.

Abhi, be practical. We still need to act for sometime that we are not in talking terms until Aliya gets married. So I want you not to meet me like this too.

What? I can't do that! Nobody had find out our meeting here so why do we have to stop this.

Because it will be eventually revealed when they find out about your late night stays outside your house. And look at me, I am also deprived of sleep by talking to you for long hours.

Look Pragya, if you want to sleep early that's fine. I won't talk much but don't say I can't meet you yaar. It's impossible.

Please Abhi. Just for sometime. For the start maybe for a week?

A week? 7 days! It's like 7 years!

Abhi, we are bound to live for 7 lives then this 7 days is very less compared to it.

No way! I won't agree to this.

Okay then, you keep meeting me then I will tell Dadi that we are back together.

Oh man! You're blackmailing me! Alright! Give me a moment to think.

He said and walked to and fro in front of her.

She observed him silently and find him cute as usual when he is seriously thinking about something.

Alright! Agreed! But....

But what?

You have to meet me on Fridays!

Fridays? How can I? You know that I go temple on Fridays after work.

Ya that's why I chose that day. I also know you go alone. So that makes it easier for me to meet you after your temple visit.

Hmmm....looks like a nice idea.

Not an idea! It's a decision of mine. That's it!

She gasped in response and eventually agreed to his decision.

Now tell me, I heard that your Dadi is looking for another girl for you.

Yes she is but she still likes you. She even wants to talk to you again.

I know. And that's what I feel bad about. When Astha aunty told me that Dadi is still thinking of me as the good match for you, I can't believe it but I know she really likes me a lot.

Now don't be senti. I am going to talk to Purab now. I know he is in a dilemma of loving Aliya. Maybe I feel he should open up to Aliya and solve this issue if not Aliya won't let us to be together.

Tell me one thing, I have always been wondering why you and your sister are different!

She is the same as me but the difference is she understands everything lately.

Oh so that means you understand things fast? Liar!

I do! You see how understanding I am towards you.

This is after a few incidents that made you understand about me. Remember what you thought of me on that promotional event in shopping mall!

Wo... Ya but I did knew it was not a true love heartbreak of yours. It was only a disappointment of yours.

Don't you think we are talking too much? Look at the time!

Yes we are as usual and it's so sad this is the last day of my late night stay with you. I will miss you dear

He looked down in sadness and went to the the couch to sit.

Good acting! Good night!

She said by lying on the bed and pulled the duvet over her.

"I will also miss you!" she thought by closing her eyes.

Sneek peek to next part,

She is in love with him now not Purab anymore.

Abhi clenched his fist and said As if I care!

He glares at the direction where Pragya is talking cheerfully to someone.

Why is she talking to him now? Doesn't she know I hate him! He is my rival. How many times I have told her that King is my rival yet she is still talking to him happily!

Updating this after a long time. Sorry for that.
