CHAPTER 3 : RITIKA

Aish who is banging the door this loudly.

My little toe bang to the sofa of living room as I run towards the main door . I squeak in pain and the banging of door increased. I hurriedly ran towards the door on one leg  and open the door only to lose the balance.  I close my eyes and was so ready kiss the ground but two firm hands steadied me. My hands land on the rigid body in front of me.

I slowly sqint my eyes open and a rigid chest comes in my view.  My eyes widen in realisation. Same blue suit from morning. Travelling my eyes upwards from chest to neck and to the eyes to finally confirming my hitch.

I gulp at the intensity of his stare. Shivansh. I try not to look at his plump lips and try to maintain the eye contact.

He is the first to break the eye contact and look around clearing his throat. I quickly push away from and stand straight, my poor hurt little toe long forgotten.

"H-hey." Stop stuttering *****.

Shivansh nods. Just nod ?

"Is Avika still here."

"Oh yeah she is."

"Hm call her and tell I am here to pick her up."

This mf. Is he ordering me around ?

"Why don't you call  her yourself ." I plaster a fake smile and show him the route. "She is in my room."

"Ok"

I give him my bombastic side eye as I lead the way to my room.

As we enter my room. Shivansh sees that Avi has changed her clothes into my comfy ones and is nicely tucked to bed, sleeping.

"When did she sleep"

"Around 9:30 something."

Shivansh frustratedly loosened his tie woth his so sexy and veiny hands---

The **** are you thinking Ritu-- get that thought out of your head.

"This girl! I almost went to police thinking something happened to her and she is nicely sleeping in a cozy bed."

I hear Shivansh murmur to himself.

"Where is her phone?" 

"Oh her phone ,its here." I say as I pick the 'world class i-phone' as Avi like to call it , from the night stand.

"It's switched off but I don't have i-phone charger so...'' I trailed of as I saw him boiling by each passing minute.

"Why don't you have i-phone charger?"

"Sorry what ?" What type of question is that  ?

"I asked why don’t you have i-phone and why didn't she bring her i-phone charger."

Oh hello . Android user janam sey."

(Janam sey- since birth.)

If one more time I hear that I word I might vomit.

I know i might be joking and cracking lame jokes but  I can't take his seriousness anymore.

"Why don't you cool down. You seem like you just returned from work. Hmm?" 

He nods once as he finally removes his tie and stuffs it in his pocket. Amd we return to the hall area.

Don't look at his hands Ritika don't.

"Where is kaka?" Shivansh asks as he settled down on chair sofa resting

Shivansh asks as he settles on one of the two chair sofas crossing ine leg on the other like a top notch businessman, which he is of course.

"Ritika?"

****.

A shiver ran down my spine as I heard him finally take my name , after  20 years ?

"Rutika?"

He called me again , voice little raised.

Oh wait he asked me a question.

"He is out of town because of some work. That's why Avi wanted to keep me company tmfor tonight. But wait ! Did you just yell at me?"

I asked , increasing my own voice.

"I am leaving.Tell Avi to call me when she wakes up."

The ****!

He removes a card from his shirt pocket and just like thst strides out of the house

Who the **** does he think he is ? I can't believe he is really changed. Ugh!! Crush ******* crush ? This isn't the one I fell-no-had a crush on.
