Unhinged

Chapter 2

Riva rang the door bell for 5 times but no one answered. She banged her water bottle on door and made loud noise.

Door opened and they saw Ninad rubbing his eyes.

"Kisi din mar jayega koi bahar aur tum darwaja nahi khologe" Riva barged in.

"Baby you look awful. You have to stop drinking" Nidhi hugged Ninad and said.

Ninad just hugged her back and didn't say anything.

Riva knocked on Shashank's door. She could hear the loud music so she deliberately knocked louder.

Shashank just opened the door and didn't look at her. He was shirtless and had a cigarette between his lips. He had extremely unmanageable curly locks and his green eyes were shining from the sunlight coming in from window. He had a well built body with perfect abs and biceps.

Now looking at his current appearance anyone could've assumed that Shashank is the typical casanova who has many girlfriends except Riva and still has occasional hook ups. Who sleeps with random girls and lives his life king size.

But that wasn't the case.

Shashank was a very introvert guy. As Riva had 'adopted' Sharanya, she adopted Shashank too.

Riva liked how soft-spoken he was. How gentle and kind! How his heart was pure and filled with emotions. She too thought that he was an arrogant guy with attitude because his face was like that. But slowly, as she interacted with him and started spending time with him, she understood that he was a genuine guy with genuine problems.

Shashank was a troubled man. Only child of billionaire parents who were divorced. He never had a normal childhood. Always saw his parents fighting and shouting. His parents thought that may be sending him away in a boarding school would help but it made him go deep into his own shell.

Shashank was the kind of person who'd seem normal to everyone but deep down would be fighting a battle with his own mind!

Riva came in and closed the door but didn't lock it.

"College kyu nahi aaye? Aaj toh aa jate pehla din tha" Riva said.

Shashank didn't answer. He just pulled Riva for a dance. Riva giggled and landed in his embrace.

"Tu hi tu hi meri manzil, tu hi chahat me hai shaamil, kuch aisa keh do jaan e dil" Shashank held cigarette in between his fingers and sang with KK's song which was playing on the latest home stereo system with a CD player.

"Tere bina meri subah nahi jalti, tere bina meri shaam nahi dhalti, tere bina meri jaan hai pighalti, Soniye, soniye" Shashank continued.

Riva turned around and stopped the music. Shashank threw himself on bed and exhaled cigarette smoke.

"Himesh Reshamiya and KK is the best combination for songs.. I am telling you" Shashank said "They make best music"

"Emraan hashmi is best" Riva said.

"Emraan Hashmi is an actor" Shashank said.

"Yeah but those songs suits on him.. Kisi aur pe nahi karte" Riva argued.

"Pointless argument" Shashank exclaimed.

Riva jumped on him and he grunted.

"Apne aap ko gulab ki kali samjhti ho tum?" Shashank asked in pain.

"Haan" Riva answered.

Shashank pinned her down and came over her "Bahot dimag khati ho tum aaj kal mera"

"Aur tum bahot bolne lage ho aaj kal.. Mere samne hi muh khulta hai tumhara bolne ke liye.. Warna baki sab toh kehte hai ki Riva tumhara boyfriend kitna shant hai.. Tumhari sab baatein manta hoga" Riva said.
