Apeksha's P. O. V.

Oh god, that moron of a brother Zeeshan! I mean he sent Rehan, Rehan. I closed my eyes and swayed my head back and forth in embarrassment. I thought that I will stay away from him specially after that theatre class but now.... Kaboom.

" Apeksha sweetie, are you going to buy the things for the trip? " mom asked.

" Yes, mom. "

" You are going with Zeeshan? " she asked me.

" No. "

" Then with whom are you going? " she enquired.

" Rehan. " I said with my eyes half closed.

" Rehan Kshatriya! " she yelled.

" Yes. " I said, now my eyes were fully closed.

" What happened to your brother?" she asked and before I could answer her question an extremely familiar voice answered it instead.

" Actually my extremely adorable aunt, Zeeshan was practicing for his tennis match and my mom also asked me to buy some important stuff. So, I thought that we can go together. " he said, and I stood there in surprise. Now, when did he come? Yes, I am already drooling over him. He was wearing a red T-shirt covered by a black denim jacket paired with denim jeans and red Vans. And here I am standing infront of him in my loose pajamas, Zeeshan's tennis shirt, green bathroom slippers with Tinker Bell printed on it and with my hair looking no better than a crow's nest. Great!

No, no Apeksha hold yourself together, you are still angry with him and no he does not give a second flying fuck about yours looks.

" Oh right, even you are coming in the inaugrating ceremony. All the partners are coming though." my mom said thoughtfully and I froze at that very spot, Rehan is coming too..... Who cares? You do, stupid.

" Very well son, come eat some cookies that I have recently prepared while Apeksha gets something proper to wear. " she said while taking Rehan towards the dining room. He will get to eat cookies made by mom before me . I. Am. So. Very . Jealous. Of. Him. Now.

I went upstairs towards my room and quickly changed into something random. White baggy top, black jaggings and white sneakers. Done.

When I got down, mom and Rehan were talking like old friends. When he saw me coming, he stood up from his seat and asked, " Shall we go, are you ready? " look at his eyes and those messy brown hair.

Yes, speak it aloud dumb. " Yes."

As we walked towards the main door to go outside mom shouted from behind, "Be careful kids, Rehan drive slowly and I want both of you home before 8:00 pm. Have fun. "

" Mom, I am not going to Paris. " I shouted back and Rehan chuckled beside me.

We came outside where he had parked his metallic Mercedes-Benz. Wow. He opened the front door for me in a gentle manly manner and I entered inside without saying a word. Let me make it clear, I AM NOT TALKING TO HIM. If luck wants to test me then let me announce it to the world that I am not talking to that person who insulted me back and forth.

He entered his luxurious car and started the engine and in a few minutes we were on the main road a few metres away from my house. I was looking actually staring outside the window so that I could ignore the drop dead gorgeous boy sitting next to me. It is so hard, you try it once.

" So are you upset with me? " Rehan asked in his oh my god so beautiful voice. I was internally scoffing now, obviously what does it mean if I am not talking to you? I did not answer his obvious question.

" May I ask that what did I do so grave to upset you Apeksha? "

Well firstly you made me fall for you then you did not bother to catch me and presently I am lying on the ground sulking and seeing you with your girlfriend. Nothing much Rehan.

" Okay, you don't want to talk then don't, just don't give me that attitude of yours. " he said dangerously.

And people say that girls have mood swings!

" I give an attitude? I? Really Rehan. If there is a person in this whole universe who has an attitude problem then it is you. " I said while still refusing to look at him. I realized that he suddenly increased the speed of the car. He did not say anything further, he just drove while he increased the volume of the music system. God! I am with him, the person who is always on my mind and I can't even talk to him because he does not give a damn about my existence. I wonder what crosses his mind when someone takes my name infront of him.

I was checking my watsapp messages when one of my friends messaged in the Class Gossip Girlz Group that Rehan and Aara broke up. I coughed, what? IMPOSSIBLE. I mean till yesterday they were inseparable, weren't they? Is this news fake? I must confirm. Ask him, he is sitting right next to you. Ask him. You can do this.

I reduced the volume of the music to zero and he looked at me with his one eyebrow raised and he was looking super cute while doing that, but then I tore my gaze away from his handsome face and finally asked, " You and Aara, you broke up? "

" Yes. " he answered very casually.

Yes, yes, yes! I was litteraly doing internal jumping, if we can even do that, and a wave of happiness rushed through my body. I know this is wrong but I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.

" Why? I mean how? You must be heartbroken." I asked trying to sound grave.

" No. " he answered. Okay he is not heartbroken. Yeah! But the problem right now is that he is answering me in mono syllables. Make it a full fledged conversation Apeksha. Come on.

" Rehan talk to me." I demanded.

" Why? I have an attitude problem, right ?" he taunted me while looking straight at the road.

" I Love You, Rehan Kshatriya . " I screamed, amazed at myself.

Yup, my poor final attempt to gain his attention. Although I spoke that with every bit of my heart with all my love poured in those words but I know that this would have no effect on him, for sure. I searched his face for his emotions.

He stopped the car with a screech and had I not worn a seat belt, I swear I would have fallen flat. His face contained a mixture of surprise and amazement like he cannot believe what he just heard.

" What, what did you just say Apeksha? Can you repeat it? " he asked me in misbelief. Cover it up Apeksha.

Is he affected? Well I wish that I could possess the courage to tell you this in reality.

" Well, I said that to gain your attention and now that I have it tell me what is this break up scene? "

His face showed that he was hurt, probably it was my imagination because it turned back to normal as he ignited the engine again.

I shook him by his shoulder and then he finally looked at me, "Why are so demanding? Okay, so as you know that I had been in a relationship with her for almost like three months and this is the longest that I can handle. I just said that word ' break up ' because I was super bored now. I am a carefree person and I cannot stand being with just one girl. Nothing great. " he said while his fingers played on top of the steering wheel.

I know that he is a player. But such a great player, I know that he is not perfect but still I am stupid enough to like him. He ended up his relationship just like this, not that I am not happy but what if he treats me the same? He will never be with someone like you duh!

" But I saw you kiss her. " I said and honestly I cringed at my own words.

" So, she was my girlfriend. " he said.

" So what do you mean by so? It was nothing for you. " I said wide eyed.

He sighed, " Look, I am searching for a special girl, the one with whom I can spend my life with and Aara is not that girl plus she is of not my type. "

A-ha! I knew that from the beginning of the universe and you get it now idiot.

" Then why did you vote for her and fight for her with the teacher?" I asked.

" Who said that I did it for her? " he said.

" Then for whom did you do it? You know that I am a far better actor...."

" I did it for you, Apeksha. " he said while cutting my speech short .

Excuse me. Sure you voted for her to support me. You vote for one candidate so that other becomes the Prime Minister. Great!

" Rehan is 'fool' inscribed on my forehead? " I asked.

" I did not want you to play lead with Samar. " he stated.

I was stunned. Can I smell possessiveness?

" Why? " I dared to ask him.

His looked intently in my eyes. God! One day I will drown and die in his brown eyes.

" Because I don't like Samar, especially when he is around you. " Then there was silence and I loved that silence because I loved the fact that I am sharing that silence with Rehan.

Now, can he have feelings for me too.......... My train of thoughts was cut when Rehan asked me, " Fine, now if have answered your questions well then may I ask in which mall would you like to go? "

" I would like to go to the market. "

He stared at me as if I am some sort of alien. The look on his face was priceless. I suppressed a smile.

" You mean the super market, right? " he asked hopefully.

" No sweetheart, I mean the local market where common people go. " I stated flatly.
