Mr. and Mrs. Kapoor [Completed]

XVII

Shreya entered the bathroom and removed her clothes. The bathroom here was exact the same size as her living room back in Arora Mansion.

Shreya wasn't used to bath in the bathtub because she never had done it before but today, the maid had already filled the tub with warm water without asking her. She got inside the tub, one leg then another. She rested her back against the wall of the tub and breathed out a sigh. She felt really relaxed after all the stress.

But then all the conversations came back. Fight with her step mom, then Yuvan and Dev and Ridhi getting married soon.

She met Dev when she was in school. They both were in a singing band. He used to be the lead singer and she was a drummer. He came to drop Shreya at home one day when she injured herself.

Dev used to be thinner than a stick that time. He used to be skinny and his cheekbones were so sharp. Maybe sharper than a knife. Though he was so thin, he had put his hand under her armpit and her hands were around his shoulders. He had supported all of her weight on himself.

That was the time when Shreya realised her feelings for him. They were good friends and when she saw how much Dev cared about her, she couldn't help but fall for him. He treated her like a queen like she deserved.

After that day, Devika would call Dev everyday at their house because she got to know how rich Dev's parents were. That's how Dev met Ridhi.

Shreya sighed and closed her eyes. She was so tired that her eyes felt dizzy and she could feel herself dozing off there.

When she woke up, she was feeling dizzier and tirer than before. She got up carefully, dried herself off and wore her clothes.

When she was about to open the bathroom door, she stumbled and was about to fall.

Yuvan was in the bedroom and as soon as he heard the noise of someone falling, he sprinted out of the bed and ran towards the bathroom.

He was shocked to see Shreya's red face as if she was struggling to breathe. He quickly snaked his arms around her waist and she grasped onto his neck for dear life.

He picked her up in his arms and laid her down on the bed.

"Shreya?! Are you listening me?! ", he asked, gently patting her face. "Come on wake up".

She started huffing and slowly came back to her senses. She was gasping for breath and clutched the bedsheets in her hand, opening her eyes.

As she opened her eyes, she was met with a concern faced Yuvan.

"I-i am fine", she replied, her chest heaving up and down as she was going back to normal breathing. "I just feel nauseous".

"What were you even doing..? "

"I was bathing in the bathtub and fell asleep there and when I woke up, I felt dizzy and I fell because of it"

Yuvan breathed out a sigh of relief and looked at her face intently. Her face was still pink and there were droplets of sweat on her forehead.

"Are you okay now?? ", he asked and Shreya nodded in response.

Just to ruin the moment, Yuvan's phone rang. The name of the caller flashed on the phone screen.

Mitali.

He coughed a little, removing his eyes from Shreya. He was feeling guilty. He picked up his phone and went to the balcony to talk.

Shreya closed her eyes for a moment to calm herself and slowly opened them. It feels weird when Yuvan talks to Mitali but why??

Few minutes later, Yuvan came inside. Shreya stood up from bed to get blow dryer to dry her hairs but as she started walking, she felt pain in her leg. She started limping because of the sharp pain.

"Why are you walking like that??", Yuvan asked.

"I guess I have sprained my leg when I fell", she said, shrugging.

He shook his head as he saw her struggling to walk. He went to her side and held her by her waist.

"Let me help", he said. Shreya didn't protest and let him do what he wanted.

She looked at his face and couldn't help but admire him. He was perfect. Everything was beautiful about him. Any girl would be ready to give her everything for him.

She felt like he cared for her but then immediately thought that he was just helping and he felt nothing for her.

She didn't know what it was but since a few days she had been feeling this immense attraction towards him.
