From Strangers to Partners

Chapter 30

Samyra's POV:

Arjun and I are on campus, thankfully on time. I am again in the cafeteria alone for my free period, scrolling through my phone, amazed at my life where I have no friends of my own. I feel someone sitting across from me and look up to see the witch.

"So, what do you want?" I ask, coming straight to the point.

"Hey, Samyra. What happened? Did you not have a great night yesterday?" She asks me ever so innocently, wanting me to bang her head on the table.

"I don't know about the night but believe me I had an amazing morning." I say with a saccharine smile on my face. I can see her temper rising at the thought of things being normal between Arjun and I but sad for her, she cannot do anything.

"Rhea, what are you trying to proof? Last night the bullshit that you told Arjun and this so called fascination and love drama with Yash Bhai, why?" I ask her straightforward, wanting to know what her true intentions are.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Well, you didn't even know about Yash Bhai's existence till few months back and now you are so in love with him. And not to mention your fan girling over Arjun and your obsession with him, what happened to that?"

"You are delusional Samyra. I really love Yash and he really loves me, so I hope you will not do or say anything that creates a problem between the two friends."

Before I can say anything, I see the witch's expressions changing from her usual bitchy face to her innocent friendly face and so I know it is either Yash Bhai or Arjun nearby. I turn around to see Yash Bhai making his way towards us, giving me a huge smile. Rhea gets up from her seat to greet him and I can see the pure adoration in his eyes for her while she gives me a mocking look. Once they both settle down, I look around trying to find my husband.

"Umm... Bhai, where is Arjun?"

"He was right behind me. Wait-" I cut him off seeing him leave his place to find Arjun.

"No, no it's fine. I'll go find him. I'll see you later!" I say and leave the cafeteria. On my way out, I text Arjun asking about his whereabouts when out of nowhere some blind person thinks it would be fun to bump into me. I look up to see none other than my husband looking at me with an amused look on his face as opposed to my frustrated expressions.

"Well, hello there wifey!"

"Arjun, I need to talk to you." I tell him seriously.

"Why do you have to say it like this? Don't you realise, it seems to be a pre breakup dialogue?!" I look at him in a bored manner.

"Done?" He gives me a sheepish nod before turning serious.

"Is everything alright?" I fight the urge of being sarcastic and taking his hand, go to our place in the library.

"Well, well, well, who knew that the innocent Mrs. Kapoor is afterall not so innocent." I feel the heat coming to my cheeks but I remind myself that I am here to talk to Arjun.

"Get your mind out of the ditch, pervert!" I tell him before sitting and patting the seat next to me for him to sit.

"So what is it?" Arjun has finally turned serious now and so, I know I can tell him whatever I wanted.

"Arjun, Rhea is not good for Yash Bhai and we need to do something about it."

"I-"

"I know you have no reasons to believe me but I do not have a good feeling about this and I don't want Bhai to get hurt and I have known Rhea longer than you guys and I can see Yash Bhai is whipped and if we don't do something soon, I am afraid that she'll break his heart terribly. I also know my gut feeling alone isn't enough for you to help me to get the two to break up but Arjun, I cannot agree that Rhea loves Bhai because she has always been obsessed with you and she was ogling at you even yesterday and I feel like she is just trying to get you through Bhai."
