Toxic love

Chapter 2

(Disha-10 years, Vihaan-13 years, Hritik-13 years.)

Vihaan was waiting with his chauffeur in the car for Disha and Hrithik, outside Disha and Hrithik's home, while whistling some random tune, lost in thoughts.

He sees Nisha aunty running towards him so he straightens up. 

"Vihaan you came. Why are you waiting outside?" Nisha asks as soon as she reaches Vihaan. She has seen him like a son since the day he was born.

“Just didn't feel like it." Vihaan replies and bends down to touch her feet as it's a tradition in India. She blesses him by putting her hand on his head. 

“Anyway, come inside. Disha is still taking a bath so it will take time. And next time if you come early then come inside, don't wait outside." Vihaan nods his head in affirmation. 

They exchange some words as they stroll inside. As soon as they are in, he darts towards Hrithik's room.

He goes in without knocking and sprawls on his bed like a starfish with his legs hanging down. His eyes were intact on the ceiling which was painted in black with some stars and moon in white. The ceiling was looking like a starry sky in contrast with the blue walls.

"Oye, you should come in knocking and can't you say hi." Hrithik grumbles. He was tying his tie with an annoyed face. He hates ties but what can he do? It's protocol to wear a tie. Vihaan just hummed.

“Hey, do you think I should get a girlfriend? You know Priya proposed to me yesterday." Vihaan says. “The girl from 9th year." The thought has been bugging him since the proposal.

"Yeah why not. But why Priya? She is a senior. And she is quite arrogant." Hrithik inputs as he doesn't like her much. That girl has a small brain but a big attitude.

"Don't know." Vihaan answers. Maybe the thought of getting into a relationship is thrilling him out.

“Do you like her?" The half tied tie hanging in his neck as he eyes his friend. “Holy moly freaking cow." Hrithik eyes widens as he imagines his friend in a relationship, keeping the fact aside that he doesn't like that girl. 

Vihaan throws a pillow on his face, annoyed by his friend's expression. "No, you dumbo. I just wanted to know how it feels to be in a relationship."

"Ouch….. You messed up with my tie." Hrithik grumbled, accusing him. Vihaan gives him a ‘It was already like that' look. Nonetheless Hrithik turns towards the full length mirror and starts adjusting his tie.

"So what do you think?" Vihaan again asked. He again lays down.

"Then go for it. Let me also know how it feels." Hrithik mumbles with his half attention on his tie while half on Vihaan.

"Let's go, I am ready." Hrithik says after a long hour of tying his tie. Vihaan leaves a sign of relief.

"Is buttercup ready? Heard that she woke up late." Vihaan asks as he comes to his feet. 

“Yeah. It's her everyday drama." Hrithik says, irritated. Because of her, sometimes they reach school late. 

Disha is in 4th grade while Vihaan and Hrithik are in 8th grade. Vihaan and Hrithik have become famous in school. 

They have a huge group of friends. Disha has only one friend which she has got to make after much pleading from Vihaan. 

With the passage of time Vihaan has become more possessive of her. Vihaan was not letting Disha to have any friend except him but after much pleading from Disha, she got one friend.
