Chapter 25

Gautam's POV



" Thank you " she said all of a sudden.

" For what ? "

" For forcing the computer institute to transfer him from here. It is a very big help. " She said in her sweet voice.

" Oh that is not much. It was very easy, I used your dad's name to get it done. Yes, but I personally threatened Naman that if comes anywhere near you, I would beat him to pulp. "



" Thanks for being there when I needed your support. You know, how much I miss her? Thanks for keeping me busy. I had no clue how to solve this problem. I am literally hurt by the fact that she knew he was trying to break our relationship and still she believed him over me." I looked at her and smiled.



" He is a bloody cheapster. I hate him like I have never hated anyone. " She was saying I just nodded.



" Just imagine that a guy proposes you... " She was saying but I stopped her in mid of her sentence.



" What??? Why would a guy propose to me?? I am into girls yaar. " I looked shocked. She laughed as she realised what she said.



" I mean, just imagine that a guy proposes a girl saying that he is falling for her very seriously and she refuses. The very next day he proposes to her best friend. Do you think he is genuine? Suppose you like somebody, say me. And you propose to me but I don't reciprocate your feelings, so can you just switch off your feelings for me and propose to my best friend the very next day? "



" Well I don't think I would ever be able to switch off my feelings for you. " I said intensely and looked at her. She turned to look at me. She looked surprised and I just smiled as I couldn't tell her what I was feeling for her as she has a crush on someone else. I swear I want to beat him. Why don't he stay away from her.



She was sitting next to me and her fragrance was filled in the car. Even the blanket she gave me smelled like her. I hugged it, I was getting crazy.

I was trying to control myself from taking her in my arms and kissing her senseless. I had to control myself as she is my responsibility while our parents are not here. I couldn't think about her like this. I wished that the night passed away fast but at the same time I wanted the time to stop. I was losing it. It was already 2 in the night.

" You know today we gave her all the proofs against him." She told me with a smile.

" Where did you get them from? What happened then ? "

" Amit found them for me and as you know Prachi is not talking to me, so I requested him to go and tell her everything when she would come for computer class. He called her and said that he needs to talk to her. When she came, he met her and showed everything."

Who is this Amit now ???

" Amit?? " I wanted to ask about him but she kept on talking.

" She looked shattered and ran away. I wanted to go and be with her. But then I stopped myself. Amit went with her to drop her home. He is a sweetheart. He handled everything so nicely and with maturity. " She was smiling lovingly and surely was thinking about him.

" But why did he do so much? " I was getting annoyed.

" He can do anything for me, all I have to do is, just to say it. I did not tell him about Naman first as I was scared that he would kill Naman and would never let me go anywhere alone. He always used to chase away all the guys who would come anywhere near me. He used to bully and scare them like anything. " She was talking about him as if she was very fond of him. As if she lo... No... it is not possible. I need to confirm.

" So he is older than you? " I asked.

" Yes he is 3 years older than me. " She smiled but I couldn't.

Is he the one??

" So you like him? " I asked again, hoping that she would deny....

" What?? Of course, I like him... You know, I didn't tell him the whole thing. If I had told him that he had proposed to me and was trying to irritate me, he would have killed him. "

She said she liked him... I felt as if she inserted a sharp knife in my heart and twisted it. I wanted to go away from her and lick my wounds but she was scared and power was still not restored.

" Why did Prachi's mom call you to her place? " I asked to change the subject as I didn't want to talk about him.

" After she got to know everything, she locked herself in her room. I went to her place to comfort her after my class, but she refused to come out of her room. I know that she is embarrassed about how she behaved with me. " She said and then she started yawning.

I kept looking at her. She was looking so sweet and innocent, just like a child. Her eyelids were getting heavy with sleep and she slipped into slumber in no time.

She was sitting next to me and her head was on my arm now. She snuggled into me and placed her head on my chest. I pulled her in my arms. She was sleeping peacefully but I couldn't even think about sleeping.

I was getting uncomfortable with her in my arms. My mind was screaming as, her proximity was creating a havoc in my body. I wanted to keep her locked in my arms. I remember all those times when I felt, a somewhat similar but subdued feelings for her.

When I saw her on that Diwali lighting diyas on her terrace and on holi when she came and applied Gulal on my face. I did that too and she smiled shyly. When I saw her wearing that saree for her farewell and when we all went on picnics and movies. When she was laughing after scaring Aditi with her acting... When she said that she has had a crush on me since she was 10...

I caressed her arms and cheeks, I caught a lock of her hair which was on my shoulder. Her light floral fragrance was driving me crazy, wanting me to make her mine forever. I wanted to get lost in her beautiful hair.

I wanted her, with everything in me. I was wondering how it would feel to kiss her on her soft kissable lips, her long slender neck, her sexy collar bone.

Oh god !!! Am I turning into a pervert? I was having erotic thoughts about her. I should stay away from her or I won't be able to control this urge to make her mine.

She was in love with someone called Amit. I should not think like that about her but just the thought of her with someone else was giving me pain. I had never felt like this for anyone. I have never wanted anyone with this intensity. I have to maintain a distance. She and her parents trust me so much, I can't break it.

She seemed to be a cuddler as she changed her position and now her face was in the crook of my neck. Her lips were touching the base of my neck and her warm breath was tickling me under my ear. Oh god!! What do I do?? I was really in a hot… hot soup.

My control was getting week and I was about to give into the temptations when her phone beeped and I came back to my senses. I just closed my eyes and gathered every ounce of will power in my body and tried to sleep but it was already 5 in the morning and the sunlight would start spreading very soon.

I must have slept only for half an hour when an alarm went off. I opened my eyes and saw her still cuddled up in my arms. I loved it and wanted to get up like this everyday. She also opened her eyes and saw that she was in my arms and she blushed furiously. I swear it is my favourite colour on her.

She got out of my arms and said Good morning very shyly.

I hated that irritating sound, but where was this sound coming from?? She looked for her phone and switched off the alarm.

I got out of the car and said, " I have to get ready for the hospital. " We avoided looking at each other. She nodded.

Maurvi's POV


Oh God !!! Really ?? I slept in his arms? Oh God !!! I would not have believed it if I had not opened my eyes, still being in his arms. I wish I had got up a bit earlier, than that irritating sound of my stupid alarm. What would he think about me?

I went to my college and kept studying for the whole day as my exams were approaching. I came back and started reading my book but kept thinking about all the events that took place in last few days.

The doorbell rang and I opened the door. Prachi was standing there. She came near me and said, " I am sorry Maurvi, You have always been so good to me. You told me everything about Naman but I was being stupid. I treated you so badly. " I just didn't know what to say so I didn't say anything.

"You fought for me and I fought against you. I am so stupid, you told me that he proposed you but got jealous of you as I had a crush on him. When he proposed me I was overjoyed. I asked him that why did he propose you if he liked me. But he said he never did that. I know, I should have trusted you not him. He said that he could break our friendship. I knew about that challenge, still I failed miserably as a friend. On other hand you had no clue about it yet you passed with flying colours. I am proud of myself for choosing you as my best friend. Will you please forgive me and take me back as your best friend? " she was crying by now. Tears were flowing from my eyes too.

I was so relieved and overwhelmed that I couldn't even utter a word. I just nodded and hugged her. I was so glad that my friend was back. I felt as if I was at the top of this world.
