Mahi's POV

***

It was officially three months since Mayu left me.

I miss you, stupid Mayu!

"Mahi?" The same painful voice spoke up, I clenched my fist shut. I hated him.

"What do you want?" My voice cracked like a whip, he winced.

"Mahi, you haven't eaten anything." He mumbled and nudged a plate of food toward me, his voice was tender and caring. I huffed with annoyance, I hated how he pretended to care for me.

"Why do you care?" I breathed with venom mixing in my words. There were three unspoken words in the air, but I chose to ignore them.

"Because I'm your friend," He smiled at me, and I didn't return.

"Since when were we friends?" I challenged him with a certain amount of attitude.

"Fine, be that way." Mayank ran a hand through his hair and stood up. He cast one last look at me before marching away toward Sanju Bhai. I heard the scuffling of footsteps and a muffled curse. I turned around to see Rahul sprawled on the floor.

"Does the grandpa need help getting back up?" Mayank's voice carried over clearly, and Rahul glared at him. A smile spread across my face, Rahul tried getting back up. But the slippery stairs caused him to fall back down.

"Yes, yes I do need help. Now get your butt over here." He called out, louder than the snickering, and I burst out laughing. Mayank, who was headed this way, stopped to smile at me. Unwillingly, my heart fluttered and the butterflies in my stomach went on a field trip. He helped Rahul up, and looked at me.

"Glad to see you smiling again," He cast one last glance at me before headed back to practice. I promised myself that he was barely even a friend, let alone anything more than that.

I'm not in love with him, I'm sure of it

***

I'm back~

And, should I end this book?
