Obsessive Love Disorder

Chapter 32.

Riya's pov :

"Hello Gowtham" . i said surprise filling my voice. He gave his charming smile in return.

I was about to ask the matter when Mr.Akshay intervened.

They gave bear hug to each other. Gowtham smiling brightly and Mr.grumpy with his neutral face.

"Hey dumbass ! Havent i told ur coward ass to man up and tell her . see what happened " Akshay greeted so lovingly.

Gowtham face fell ,unknown feeling covering his eyes. Worry or guilt. Couldnt decide on that .

"Where's she?" Gowtham asked his voice becoming hoarse.

Akshay just showed the staircase.

Gowtham rushed towards it,when smriti climbed down the stairs leaping.

Gowtham stood rooted to his spot seeing her like that . A lone tear escaped his eyes which he managed to wipe it off before anyone noticed.

Guess Akshay havent told him what exactly happened last night.

He came out of his shock and went to Smriti and helped her climb down the stairs.

As far as i know they both are very good friends. Just that Smriti is more than that for Gowtham.

If eyes could kill akshay would be 6 feet under the ground . I have never witnessed this face of Gowtham. The innocent charming face is all gone replacing it with rage .

Akshay's face showed guilt for a fraction of a second which he masked the next second challenging Gowtham.

"How..How are you now?" I asked Smriti unmindful for her reaction. Ofcourse shes wrong. But its just humanity to ask that.

She gave me her cold face which i actually didnot mind.

But a hand encircled my waist. His simple touch sent electric waves through out my body. I dont know if i should feel happy for assuring me or irritated for pulling this act before her.

"Lets go" Smriti told Gowtham completely ignoring Akshay.

Even before they left ,he slightly pinched my hip and went back to his study room.

I ran following him.

"Dont you feel guilty? Dont you have the basic courtesy to appologise and send her off ?"

That man took his own time to settle in his chair .

He raised his eyebrow questioningly at me. God ! Its soo intimidating and no one will even believe me until they see it with their own eyes.

I composed myself.

"I asked you already".

"I dont want her feelings to grow for me. "

I just nodded my head and went out to garden. I just dont want to give my opinion on that.

I played with little Aradhya and she brightened up my mood as usual.

We went to our room and watched all cartoons with her .

I havent realised the time is eight thirty until Aradhya's mom came to pick her up.

I went down and stood frozen seeing the sight before me.

Akshay was cooking in the kitchen ,his back towards me. What the hell ! Is it really happening ?!

His muscles moving in his white tshirt making kichen 10 times more hotter.

Suddenly he stood before me and lifted me in his hands . He carried me to the kitchen and placed me on the kitchen counter .
