Toxic love by Shikha Mishra (good books to read for 12 year olds TXT) 📗

Chapter 5

School got over and Vihaan and Hrithik were waiting for Disha out of the school. Hrithik was playing video games and Vihaan was waiting impatiently for Disha. Their chauffeur was inside the car.

Disha came. "Hii." Disha said without looking up. 

"Hello" Hrithik answered, distracted by his game. 

"Where were you during lunch break?" Vihaan asked without greeting her. 

"Garden." she answered in one word. She was still not able to digest that Vihaan has got another close friend.

"Hm. But why were you there?" Vihaan has the habit of knowing everything about Disha. He also is the one who chooses her dress, most of the time. He loved to do that.

"I wanted to eat in the garden." She answered and got inside the car. They also went inside. The car roared to life. 

"Stop the car." Disha suddenly shouted. 

"Why? Do you forget something?" Hrithik asked, still playing his game. Vihaan also wanted to know. He still hasn't asked her about the morning. He knew something was wrong with her. He thought of asking her during her study session. 

"Um, is Priya not coming with us?" Disha was still not looking up. She was constantly looking down. 

"Why would she come with us?" Vihaan asked as he got confused. 'Did she come to know about the relationship between me and priya' he thought.

"Um she is- nothing." Disha was slightly happy that she was not coming. Vihaan saw the change in her. First she was sad and now she is happy. He thought not to ask anything now. 

He will take everything out of her system at night during her study session. During the whole ride Hrithik was busy playing his game, Vihaan was just trying to think about the sudden change in her behaviour and Disha was just looking down. 

They reached Singh's house. Vihaan thought to spend his night in Singh's house. Mahesh and Nisha were still not home. 

"I have my drawing class so I am going. I will eat outside." Hrithik informed both of them and saunters upstairs in his room to freshen up and change for his drawing class. 

Vihaan and Disha both sit at the dining table. 

"So why didn't you bid me goodbye during morning?" Vihaan straight away asked as he was not able to control himself till study session. 

"Because you were busy with your new close friend. More of a close friend than me." Disha replied with an accusing tone, stressing on the words close friend. 

A small smile came over his mouth. He knew that she was sad. He wanted to tease her more. He was getting satisfaction from her jealousy. He realised the reason behind her change of behaviour is this 'priya'.

"Yeah. She is my new close friend. She is very funny. She is in 9th grade. She is one year older than me but she is fantastic. She listens to everything I say. If I tell her she cannot go somewhere she never goes there." Vihaan says while hiding his smile. He likes when Disha feels jealous, this feeling is overwhelming.

"But I am also funny although I am smaller than you. I am also more fantastic than her. I also listen to everything you say. The only time I didn't listen to you was yesterday and was because you were mean to me. If you are doing this as a punishment then you have already punished me. I am not going to disobey you ever." By now Disha has tears in her eyes but she controlled them, not letting them leave her eyes.

Vihaan stood and sat beside Disha and took her in his lap. He was getting immense satisfaction from all this. 

"So what are you trying to say?" Vihaan asked while patting her head. 

"I don't mind you making friends. You can make as many friends as you want. But I don't want you to replace my place. Brother said that she is a more close friend than me." Disha was complaining but still she didn't lift her head. 

She knew if she saw his face she would start crying. And she wanted to act like a big girl, not a crying little girl.

"She is my close friend but not more than you. No one I mean no one can take your place. You are irreplaceable." Vihaan said, meaning every word. No one can be more important than her. He kissed her on the crown of the head.

"So she is just like your other friends." Disha asked with a small smile. She was happy with the confession of the vihaan.

"Not like others but slightly more important than them." Vihaan said after much thought. 

"Hm."

"So do you want to eat here or we can go outside to eat?" Vihaan asked as he was hungry. He knew aunty must have kept something for them to eat in the fridge. 

"Let's go outside." Disha said and without changing they left. They went to the nearest cafe restaurant. They took their seats at the window.

"Two American burgers with extra cheese, french fries and one coke and milkshake." Vihaan ordered. They were talking about random things. 

"Hey Vihaan. What are you doing here?" came a voice from the backside of them. Vihaan and Disha turned around and found Priya in a black jeans and a corset top. Priya kissed vihaan on cheeks and sat in their front.

"Just came to eat." Vihaan said. He was angry at her for disturbing their time. He knew she was his girlfriend but there should be some limit. 

'I have to tell her tomorrow to follow some rules if she wants to be my girlfriend' Vihaan thought.

"Hii. I am Priya Vihaan's gir-"

"My close friend." Vihaan interrupted Priya. He doesn't want to corrupt her ears. Priya was confused but ignored his words. 

"Hii. I am Disha. Vihaan's friend." Disha introduced herself. Now she is feeling good as she knows that Priya is not more important than her. She trusts everything which Vihaan says. 

"You are so cute." Priya complimented Disha. 

"Thankyou." Disha blushed. Vihaan got jealous of Priya as on priya's compliment Disha blushed. Their food arrived. Priya also ordered salad for herself.

The whole time Disha and Priya were conversing which Vihaan didn't like one bit but didn't point out.
