Chapter 9

Disha's POV

"Wake up buttercup. It's morning" I heard someone say. 'Am I dreaming or the voice is of Vihaan'.

I tried to open my eyes but they were like someone has sticked it. They were not opening. I again tried and after much trying they opened. As my eyes opened the first thing that I realised is that I am not in my room. I am in Mia's room. Why am I here?

After much thinking all the memories came crashing down.

Vihaan's date.

Vihaan ignoring me.

Priya coming with us to school.

And vihaan kissing Priya.

"Hey hey it's ok. Why are you crying?" and that made me realise that I was crying again.

"Buttercup won't you tell me". As soon as I heard him I turned my head and saw vihaan. I hugged him and cried. Cried for my first love. Cried for my lost best friend.

He scooped me in his arms. After sometime I stopped crying.

"Ok now tell me why are you here without informing me? And why are you crying?" With his tone I knew he was angry way to much angry. But he was trying not to shout at me. But why is he here? He should be with his girlfriend.

"Disha I am asking you something" . Shit he is getting more angry. Should I confess my love for him now. No no he doesn't have that type of feelings for me and it will only make things awkward between us.

"Nothing" I replied. My voice was hoarse from all the crying.

"Disha I am not in the mood of your bullshit. Tell everything to me now" he demanded. Shit Disha tell him everything now, otherwise he will punish me.

"Um vihaan let me get fresh first then I will tell you everything" l said. I tried to get up but Vihaan's hand were stopping me. I lifted my head to tell him to remove his hand. But what I saw frightened me to the core. I have never saw this much anger in Vihaan's eyes. His jaw was clenched. He was looking like a Lucifer.

"DISHA. TELL. ME. EVERYTHING. NOW" his voice boomed in the room.

"Vihaan what happ-" Mia asked as she came upstairs. But stopped mid sentence. She must have felt the anger coming from vihaan.

"I-It's my per-periods" I replied stammering. Stupid Disha he keeps tabs of your periods. I started praying to God to let vihaan buy this lie.

"Disha don't LIE. Your periods still have time to come. It is due two weeks" he shouted. I flinched. Mia was also looking afraid. Tears started welling up in my eyes. He was looking like a different vihaan. I want my sweet vihaan back to me.

"Disha stop with your fuc-freaking crying. Tell me everything now". Now his voice was soft but not like my sweet vihaan. He was still angry. I decided to tell him everything. I don't want to drag this. I want my sweet vihaan back.

"You went on a date with Priya" I complained. I was still on his lap.

"That's why you were crying" he asked. I lifted my head and saw that his anger has subsided. I think he smiled for a millisecond or was it my imagination.

"That's it. That was your reason for crying". I thought not to drag this more so I just nodded my head.

"Disha tell me everything. Don't think that by nodding your head you can get out without telling me everything". Does he know mind reading. From door Mia was urging me to tell him everything. I think I should tell him everything. I can not get out of this situation without telling him everything.

"Um you ignored me next day". I again lifted my head to see his reaction. He urged me to go on.

"You let let Priya co-come with us". Tears again formed in my eyes. But I closed my eyes to not let them fall.

"Go on" he demanded.

"I saw you um" I stopped mid sentence.

"What did you saw?" he asked.

"Isawyoukissingpriya" I said.

"What?" I again lifted my head and saw he was smiling. This time it's not my imagination, he is literally smiling. Why is he smiling.

"Can you repeat it" he asked.

"Um I saw you kissing Priya outside the girls washroom" l replied. It was so hard to stop the tears from falling.

"Disha do you want to confess something to me or you can also give me the reason behind this jealousy as she is my girlfriend so I can kiss her". Now he was smirking.

"Because you were giving her more importance than me" I replied. It was half true. I really didn't liked him giving others importance more than me.

"But she is my girlfriend so she will get more attention. More than you" he replied. He was still smirking. Was he teasing me.

"But but you had promised me that she will not get more importance than me" I complained.

"That was to console you. You were small and I didn't wanted you to know that I had a girlfriend. But now that you are aware I don't have to treat Priya as a close friend. I can treat her like a girlfriend" he said. The tears which I was stopping for so many minutes started spilling. I again tried to get up but he was still not letting me go.

"Let me go you meanie" I demanded. I started hitting him on his chest.

"You are so bad vihaan. How can you do this to her. She lo-" Mia was shouting but I stopped her. I don't want him to know it. He is not my old vihaan. He is some one else. I don't know this vihaan. And he was still smiling.

"I said let me go" I again demanded.

"I am not going to talk to you. Let me go. Go to your dumb girlfriend. She must be waiting for you". I was saying whatever was coming in my mouth. I was so mad. And these tears why can't they just stop spilling.

"Do you want more importance than Priya or anybody else?" Vihaan asked. But I was so mad at him that I was not listening anything. I was just hitting him constantly. I thought he cared for me the most.

"Disha listened to me". He was shaking me.

"Do you want more importance than anybody else. More than Priya" he asked. And I just nodded my head. I am ok even if he doesn't reciprocate my feelings. I just want my old vihaan back. Who cared for me more than anyone else.
