THIRD WORLD PRINCESS

Chapter 29 : Overboard Obsession

You've got to be kidding me.
Mohini, I just hope you don't do anything you'll regret...

Don't worry, I'll not hurt anyone.

"Uhh, Amruta?" Mayuri said as she snapped her fingers before me.
"Uhh yeah, Mayuri... How do you know Vedant?" I asked.

"He's... He's an old friend," she replied nervously.

This girl is hiding something. I'm sure of it!
I'm sorry, why are we talking to her in the first place?

"So, You asked me about Vedant na? What do you wanna know?" I asked, locking my eyes with hers.

"Umm," she seemed hesitant to ask, which made me even more curious, "Before I meet him, may I know if he's dating someone?"

Why would she...
Please don't go overboard...

"Yes," I said firmly. "It's understandable because you're an old friend, you might not know about his current life."

Mohini, what are you saying?

"Yeah," she replied, and I sensed her tone had become dull. "Can I ask who is he dating?"

"Of course, it is me," I replied with a big smile.

What the fuck, Mohini?!

"Oh." Yeah, her tone had definitely saddened. I bet she liked him, but I wouldn't let her be near him.

Mohini, you're being very selfish at this time. And stop ignoring me, for God's sake.
Trust me, Amruta. I know what I'm doing...

"You know, Vedz will be delighted to know that I met you. What did you say your name was again?" I asked cheerfully. Of course, I had learned these things from Ishwari.

"Ve.. Vedz?"

"Oh! That's what he likes me to call him. And well that's not the only thing he likes." I twirled my hair in a flirty way. The boys around us gasped as they saw me.

Mohini, this is crazy! I'm sorry, but I don't think you should have control anymore. I'm taking it back!

No, Amruta. Wait!
I'm sorry, Mohini...

I could feel Amruta taking over the body. I was almost about to lose control.

No, Amruta. Please don't. I'm doing this for both of us.
Wrong, Mohini. I can clearly see that these are your selfish motives. I'm taking the control back, and I'm telling her the truth.

Amruta tried hard to get the control back but I held on to the body.

Huh? What are you doing, Mohini? Why am I not able to take the control?
I don't know. I think I just unlocked another power of mine.

"Are you okay?" Mayuri asked. She looked scared because of my recent actions. Amruta and I were fighting for the control, and I could imagine how it would have seemed to a third person.

Quickly masking my embarrassment, I said, "Yes, yes. I'm okay. I was just wondering..." I somehow blocked Amruta's control and regained the full control, "...why didn't Vedz tell me that you were friends?"

"Oh! He hasn't? That's alright. He probably must have forgotten," she said with a sad smile. I was enjoying this.

Mohini, it is not too late. Tell her the truth.
