Risky Romance [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

Rhea was stunned. "K-kritika Verma? Are you sure, Bhavesh?"

Bhavesh looked at her in surprise. "Ofcourse, I'm sure. Why? Do you know her?"

"I've heard of her."

"I didn't realise she was that famous", frowned Bhavesh.

Rhea gave a noncommittal grunt. She needed to think. "Bhavesh, I'll sleep now, will that be alright?"

"Ofcourse", said Bhavesh. "It's pretty much 5 in the morning, so good luck trying to sleep." He winked at her.

Rhea fake laughed. She was panicking, although she had no reason to. It wasn't like Kritika was her girlfriend, and had cheated on her.

She laid down on her back, and looked out of the window. It was starting to get a little brighter outside. The darkness was slowly and steadily fading away.

Kritika not only cheated on Virat, she cheated on Varun too, thought Rhea. What do I do? Do I tell Varun about this? It's my moral responsibility to. But will he believe me? Plus, there maybe loads of Kritika Vermas in the world. Who's to say that the Kritika Virat met is actually Varun's girlfriend? Although I am sure she is. That bitch. Which girl would do that to Varun? Anybody would be lucky to have him.

She thought for a minute. I have just met the guy around 10 hours ago. I have no right meddling in his business. If he is to find out about Kritika cheating on him, it should be by himself. I should not be the one to tell him, it should be Kritika. And what do I think will happen? If I tell him that Kritika cheated on him, do I expect him to leave her? Do I expect him to come to me? How can I be so sure that what I am doing is for Varun's own good and not for my personal reasons? The fact that there is a teeny tiny possibility that I may have feelings for him would be reason enough to break his long term relationship with his bitchy girlfriend?

Rhea sat up straight. No. She couldn't tell Varun anything. She was a woman of principles. If Varun had to find out, it wouldn't be through her, it would be through somebody else. Hopefully Kritika herself. That bitch. Arrgh she hated her already!

Oh God! She suddenly thought. But what if Varun heard what we were talking about? What if he gets mad at me for not telling him the truth? What do I do then?!

Godddd this was so messed up..! What had she gotten herself into. She shouldn't be so upset over this. She didn't even know any of her fellow passengers well. How could she get so attached?

Frustrated, she took the blanket on her berth, pulled it over her head, and dozed off.

After what seemed like an eternity, she was woken up by somebody breathing in her ear, "Morning beautiful."

She ignored the voice, and muttered in her sleep, "Go away."

The voice chuckled. She knew that voice very well. She suddenly jerked upright.

"Holy mother of---!" yelled Varun. "You scared me, woman."

He was leaning, with his face inches from hers.

"Well you had no business leaning towards me like that", said Rhea, rubbing her eyes and yawning widely.

"Well I was going to yell in your ear", grinned Varun. "You sleep like a horse and snore like a bear. Haven't you ever tried therapy?"

"Shut up, I don't snore."

"Anyway, wake up, it's 9 am, and you are going to miss breakfast", said Varun, brightly.

Rhea looked at him and commented, "So you aren't grumpy pants anymore? Last night, you were full of it."

"Don't remind us of that", said a new voice, wistfully. Rhea saw Virat sitting next to the Nikhil's girlfriend, who Bhavesh said, was called Malvika. Virat was sporting a beautiful bruise on his eye, and he was continuously applying an ice pack.
