SiRaj/RitSha ff: Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai (completed)

6b~Jealousy

He looked away not feeling good and walked away lost in thoughts and collided with Naina and she lost her balance but he held her in the nick of time sharing an eye lock with her. He kept staring in her green eyes but then suddenly came to her senses and straightened her and looked back at Sitara's room. "What happen? Where are you lost? When you collided with me, even then you were lost?" she asked him and he looked at her. "Nothing Naina, nothing serious," he said. "Its okay, you can tell me, may be you will feel okay," she said assuring him.

"Sitara and Viraj, they're lying so close to each other," he told her. "So?" she asked. "I don't feel comfortable, I always maintain distance whenever I do so and him, he's too close, he is also her friend only like I am," he said with a crease on his forehead. I shouldn't tell him that yesterday they both ended up sleeping in one room that too very close else he may get more uncomfortable, she thought. "Friends can lie close to each other, doesn't really matter Ritvik," she said and he was speechless. "Weren't we sleeping close to each other last night?" she asked and he nodded. "So why can't they be close?" she asked and he shrugged. "I don't know Naina, its as if I am disturbed by that sight, I think it's hurting me," he said and closed his eyes shut. She hugged him to console him and he reciprocated the hug. "Do you have feelings for her?" she asked. "I don't know, I need time, this didn't happen before," he said. "Its okay, it happens, just remember if you ever need me or you need to share anything, I am there," she said and broke the hug, he nodded.

"You need anything?" she asked and he shook his head. She left from there and went to her own room and sat on the bed lost in thoughts. "Why am I feeling bad seeing him like this? Why am I thinking about him?" she asked herself and looked down. "I should drop the matter for now, I should sleep," she said and lied down and just then she noticed Ritik at the door, she sat up. He came and sat in front of her and pulled her in a hug.

"Thanks Naina for being there, I feel relieved," he said and she was too shocked by his sudden hug but slowly reciprocated. "You're welcome," she said and he broke the hug. "Good night," he said and went. "Oh God, kya tha ye?" she said and lied down again and dozed off after sometime.

Viraj sat up and sat with the support of the bedboard. "I wanted to say something," he said. "Say," she said. "Thanks for supporting me when principal said that only I will get punishment, you took punishment for me, I don't know about Ritik, I still haven't forgiven him, I talk to him just like that, I don't feel like talking to him anymore," he said.

"Haan, toh mat karo," she said. "Woh toh samajhta he nahi ke maa baap pe jao gay toh koi kiun bardaasht karay ga," he said and she nodded. "Of course, tum jald se jald prove kar dena ke tumhare maa baap bhi kuchh kam nahi, kya kaha tha us ne? Bikhaari ki aulaad? Hai na? Bikhaari bhi insaan hota hai aur bikhaari bhi apnay bachay ko sab denay ki koshish karta hai, agar tum hotay bhi na, main tab bhi tum se friendship karti,"she said and he smiled.

"Mere parents king and queen hai, main prince hoon, seriously," he said. "I believe you, aur dekhna, is prince ke liye ek pyaari princess aaye gi, aur ye prince usay ghoray pe baitha kar le jaye ga," she said and he smiled. "That's so sweet Sitara," he said and hugged her, she hugged him back. "Ritik ko toh main bhi ignore karne wali hoon jab tak usay realize nahi ho jaata," she said. "Really? Lekin us ne tumhe toh kuchh nahi kaha hai na," he said. "Tumhe kaha na, aur bura bhi toh itna laga tumhe, mujhe bhi laga bura ke us ne aisa kaha, mujhe kuchh bol kar dikhaaye na woh, sirf sukh ka saathi hai woh as I said before," she said. "Woh toh hai, par tum ne itna socha mere baare mein, us ke liye thanks," he said smilingly while still in the hug. "Kitni baar thanks bolo gay? Pakk gayi main," she said laughingly. "Kha jaun tumhe?" he asked and she laughed and they fell on the bed while still hugging each other and they fell asleep in the hug.
