A/N : I am really sorry for the delay in updates. Got disconnected for a while coz of personal reasons and then Ankit's eviction. The responses for the story are the only reason I have decided to continue. Thanks readers and keep commenting coz votes and comments keeps me motivated to write more
"Two plates?" came his quick response. Priyanka took closed her eyes and gulped taking a moment to compose herself. Not now Ankii, I can't explain but this is needed. She faced him with a smile "Ofcourse, stupid. Didn't I mention that I have cold? I don't want you to catch that infection too" She mentally thanked God for the cold and even patted herself for coming up with something so logical. "You should have thought about it when you slept outside" Ankit frowned trying to understand her reasoning. It was logical but somethings aren't adding up. He tried convincing himself that it was all in his head and she was just a bit sick.
"Is it bad?" Priyanka looked at him confused at the sudden question "The cold" He emphasised. Something tugged at her heart, when she thought of this she knew this was going to be a tough journey but this pain was more than what she anticipated. "No yaar Ankii, I am better now" He nodded and continued his meal.
Priyanka sat alone on the balcony sofa as she watched Ankit and Vikas workout at the gym. Her mind drifted off the events of last night. She had woken up and was heading towards the bathroom when she overheard Soundarya take her name from the room of 2. The curious kid in her was now wide awake and she inched closer. "You know Archana, Priyanka is such a fool. She expects Ankit to fall for her eventually!!" and both of them started giggling " Par Soundarya, I agree that she is a fool but I don't think she expects anything like that . She has cleared it many times" " She just keeps saying that trying to convince herself and the others. Trust me I understand these type of girls. They are desperate beings who keep sticking on to a guy who has no interest in them. Ankit is just being a gentleman and a good friend. Sometimes he just does things to cover up. Other than that there is nothing. He is just stuck with her coz of their two year old friendship. I even feel that he might have even actually found someone worthy if she was not there in his life. He is just a bit attached abd habituated to her."
Priyanka did not stay longer to hear the rest of the conversation. She rushed outside to have some fresh air. For the first time in the last two months she felt claustrophobic in the BB house. She knew that both Soundarya and Archana now hated her and would never say good things. But what Soundarya said just reopened old scars. Every word she told was her worst fear. She lied down on the balcony sofa introspecting their relationship.
She had been having these fears lately but today just added fuel to the fire. Ankit had become a drug to her. The more she got of him the more she wanted and the moment she is deprived she feels like a zombie devoid of soul. She knew he would be there by her side throughout this journey. But what about outside? She knew very well that Ankit was a free spirit who would just slip away. Even the thought broke her. She knew she would be broken to bits if she did not cure this addiction soon.
She had not realised that she had slept off until she felt a familiar pair of arms trying to pick her up. For a moment she felt it be a dream "Ankii, you were asleep na"
