Karthik's pov
It's been one week since Nithya came to Mumbai. I felt everything like a dream. I'm so happy that she is living in my own City. But I am not happy about the reason behind that.
Two weeks ago Ritu called me in an evening.That's when I realised how much Nithya gone through in the past few months. I really feel bad for her. It's all because of that jerk. I want to kill him with my own hands. I was on the verge of losing her.
I badly want to teach that jerk a lesson, but Rithu asked me to leave that as it will again complicate Nithya's life. She said Nithya wants to to begin a new life in Mumbai. I did everything for her admission in a reputed college in Mumbai. After all that's the least thing I can do for her.
I don't know why but I am feeling guilty every time I saw her. Yeah, I'm seeing her every day. Her college is just few minutes apart from my office .That's why deliberately arranged her admission in that college.
I am waiting for the right opportunity to approach her. But my stubborn mind has other plans. I sent her a cute kitten that day. I won't be a stalker anymore. That's why I put my name on that courier. I know she must be hell confused.
I discussed this with Riya ( my twin sister). She said I have to be more patient with her. She had gone through a lot in the past few days and if I approach her now she won't trust me. So I have to give her some time.
She must be scared now. New place new people , new culture. She needs time to adapt with all these.
I thought of taking ritika's help in approaching Nithya , but she seems very upset these days.Nithya's pov
It's been one month since I came Mumbai. I must say there is some magic in this city. I'm more happy now. I have more freedom now. But I promised myself that I won't misuse it at any cost.After that day, Aadithya became a good friend of mine. He is the male version of Swathi. He helped me a lot in academics, by giving notes and all. The only problem with him is he is very expressive and a bit over friendly. But his intentions are pure. That's why I befriended him.
His friends are also very nice to me. Hima and Shreya become very close to me. But still , I am missing Swathi.
No one can replace her .Everything was going smooth . But as all of you know, troubles are like my shadow. They will accompany me wherever I goes. This time, they came with bonus .
First one is I am receiving flirty calls and messages from unknown numbers for the last two days. At first I blocked that number. But now I am receiving calls from different numbers.
Last night I received one such call. Fortunately jiju was at home that time. He pickup the call and gave that bastard a very good lecture in a very good language.
Second one is a gossip that I am in a relationship with Aadithya. I was ashamed and hurt. I never thought about such a thing. Not even in my dreams. I always kept a decent distance from him and he never crossed the limits . But still......
It's freaking twenty first centaury, But still according to our society, a boy and girl can never be good friends only .
Many girls in our class asked me what's going on between us. I don't know what's wrong with them. All they want is a topic to gossip. Now I have become the prey for them.
Befriending a guy, doesn't mean I have feelings for him. Friendship is a pure relationship. Every story is not like Kuch Kuch Hota hai.
But our society won't accept all these.
We will always hear " Ahem ahem" whenever we talk with a friend of opposite gender.
Do I have to tie Rakhi in his hand to prove our relationship?At first I feel very bad when people mistook our relationship. So I decided to maintain distance with him. But his reaction to this increased my respect for him thousand folds.
" Nithya, if you take these gossips seriously, you can't live your life peacefully. Whatever we say, people only hear what they want to hear. So stop proving yourself to others. Both of us know that we are good friends only. Then, why are you worrying?" He asked with a smile.
As soon as he finished his speech, a guy in our class nudged him and said.
" Ahem ahem , what's going on, Love birds? " ."Nothing we are just planning for a movie date. Do you wanna come?" He asked glaring that guy who left there with disappoinment.
" See, This is nothing. All of them know there is nothing between us. They just want to annoy us. So don't take these things seriously. I bet, after five years , you will laugh remembering all these stuff" he said and I smiled.
I felt very lucky to have a friend like him. Is he some long lost brother of Swathi ? They are very similar.
I shared this with Swathi. Her reaction was phenomenal."Niti, he is a great friend yaar. Now I am relieved. Finally you found some great friend like me" she said and chuckled.
" Like who?" I asked to annoy her.
"Get lost. Now send me a photo of him" she demanded.
" Excuse me?"
" I want to see him. Send his photo. Who knows? Maybe he is your future Jija ji? By the way, will he cook?" She asked with her signature smirk.
" Oh God Swathi, You are impossible.
Spare him please. That poor guy doesn't have the strength to handle your dramas. Go and found some rowdy chef for you." I said controlling my laughter.Hi guys,
