Sitting on the bed, she was thinking of the scenario that took place last night. For some reason, she couldn't help but trace her finger tips over her lips again and again.

That feeling, the way they both melted into each other. She was finding all of this hard to forget. Never ever a man found the audacity to touch her but varun, the Varun Dhawan not only kissed her but did a whole freaking make-out session.

Why didn't I push him back? Why didn't I run away? Is he really this good at seducing? Or I was the one who couldn't control myself? All of these thoughts were revolving around her mind since last night.

Glancing at the clock, she hurriedly got off the bed realizing that she was now late for the breakfast and Rhea will probably be downstairs by now.

Her heartbeat grew faster just like last night as she reached downstairs and saw varun sitting calmly on the dining table along with Rhea.

A part of her wanted varun to have no memory of what happened last night but at the same time she didn't want to live with this guilt alone. He should know what he did.

With her trembling hands she pulled out the chair and sat beside Rhea who gave her a heart-warming smile. She looked at varun and to her surprise he was unbothered and calm. God! Don't tell me he has no idea what happened last night, she silently prayed.

"Shraddha." Varun called her out making her startled.

"Y-eah?!" her nervousness was clearly seen on her face.

"Are you alright? You aren't eating anything." he asked as he took a sip of americano.

"I-I'm not feeling like eating anything. I'll just have tea." she said and gently grabbed a cup of tea. He nodded in response.

Her gaze moved towards his face and then his lips as he took a bite of toast. She couldn't help but observe the motion of his lips and how perfect they were. She didn't realize she was staring at her until Varun snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Do you wanna talk about something or is there something on my face?" he asked waving a hand in front of her.

She immediately shut her eyes in embaressement as she felt her cheeks heating up. Wtf Shraddha? What the hell were you staring at? She mentally cursed herself.

"Shraddha?" he snapped his fingers in front of her causing her to open her eyes.

"Huh-what?" she asked, confused.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Y-eah... I'm fine. Actually I wanted to talk to you about something." she said.

"Sure." he stopped eating and looked at her.

"Uh-have you ever thought about getting Rhea admitted to school? I-I mean it's not my place to tell you but... She's five and will soon be turning six so...." she told him.

"Right. I should've thought about it earlier. I was just so busy." he replied and Shraddha rolled her eyes at him using the word busy.

"I don't wanna go to school!" Rhea commented.

"Why is that princess?" Varun asked.

"I don't wanna be alone there." she pouted.

"Rhee... You won't be alone. There'll be so many kids who would love to be your friends." shraddha told her.

"Right and it's not like you'll be there for whole day. It'll be just for few hours." Varun said.

"I'll give it a try!" she huffed dramatically, crossing her arms over her chest making both varun and Shraddha chuckle.

"Shraddha, look into some good schools. I'll take a off in the coming days then we'll go together for her admission." he told her as he stood up from the chair and she nodded in response.

"Bye princess. Be good!" he kissed her temple and left for the office.

"Oh come on, Saiyyam you know I'm not like that." Kartik pouted as he entered the coffee shop with his friend.

"Yeah Yeah I know.... You don't even have time for your friends." Saiyyam taunted as they both took their seat in a corner.

"It's not that.... Just....." he was cut off.

"Just that now you're spending more time with Ms. Sara." Saiyyam said as kartik smiled at the mentioning of Sara.

"God.... You're so in love! Look at yourself." Saiyyam laughed.

"Shut up and you don't....." he trailed off as his eyes fell on the person sitting at a distant.

"What are you looking at?" Saiyyam said as he turned to look.

"Isn't that Sara?" Saiyyam asked pointing at the direction with his thumb.

"Yeah-but who is that guy with her?" kartik immediately got concerned.

"Maybe her friend." Saiyyam shrugged his shoulders.

"No... I know all of her friends. She told me she was going to meet shraddha. What's she doing here?" he was now curious.

He saw as Sara stood up from her place and so did that guy. He was about to get up and reach her when he saw that man hugged her which looked a lot intimate.

He clenched his hand in anger as he saw them both hugging each other. After a few minutes they broke apart and sara left the coffee shop.

"Saiyyam... I have to go. I'll see you later." he said and ran out of the coffee shop.

"God! Will you stop doing this? You startled me." Sara said as she entered her apartment and found kartik sitting on the couch.

"How did it go with Shraddha?" Kartik asked, his gaze fixed on the ground.

"G-ood!" She replied, placing her bag on the front table.

"Really? How was she?" his gaze moved to her.

"Why are you interrogating so much?" she asked as she stood in front of him.

"How long?" he barely whispered.

"What?" she looked at him confused.

"How long?" he raised his voice slightly as he stood up from the couch and stood face to face with her.

"How long have you been cheating on me?" he asked her and she stood there dumbfounded.

"How dare you accuse me of such thing!" she glared at him.

"How dare I? How dare you? You broke my trust." he yelled at her as he was on the verge of crying.

"What the fuck are you even talking about?" she yelled back.

"Who was that guy in the coffee shop?" he asked and her eyes immediately widened.

"Yes. Now you get what I'm talking about?" he said as he inched closer to her.

"Leave!" she said and started to turn away but he grabbed her by her arm and pulled her into him.

"Answer my damn question Sara!" he gritted his teeth as he held her arms tightly.

"Kartik stop! You're hurting me." tears welled up in her eyes.

"And you're hurting me." he said with moist eyes.

"Just answer my question please!" he literally begged.

"I'm not obliged to tell you anything. If you don't trust me, you can walk out from my apartment and this relationship, both." she told him.

"That's what you want? So then be it!" he shoved her away before he made his way out of the apartment and she knelt to the ground and started crying.
