Love by bet ❤️

9. I don't love him 😐

Annika's pov

Finally, I got discharged from that smelling place, oops sorry God I know hospitals are very important they are meant to save people's life but it's just they are very suffocating I needed some fresh air. Breathe Annika.

'Here is your soup, my lady' said Sid bowing in front of me, such a drama queen he is

'Thanks for this five star service, waiter'
His jaw dropped

'What? Want some tip, waiter?' I said suppressing my laugh

'Your shoulder saved you today..you lucky fellow' said Sid

I glared him

'Sid, Arnav bhai didn't called me yet?'

'Actually, I lied. I haven't told him yet' I looked surprised. 'What maybe you didn't think about him before risking your life but he is my bestfriend I know him very well if he had heard the word hospital and Annika in same sentence he would have come here by first flight. That's why but now I am thinking he has full rights to know everything about you I don't want to cheat him, so I will tell him tomorrow'

'Thanks, Sid' I said overwhelmingly, How can I be so lucky to have this loving family and friends by my side I silently thanked God for being loved by so many people.

'Now, sit and have this soup' we sat on bed when Sid asked a question which made me numb for few seconds 'Do you love him, Annika?'

'huh..what are you saying Sid? What type of question is this?' I chuckled

'Then tell me why did you risk your life for him?' asked Sid raising his eyebrows. Why did I risked my life for him? Why? Friendship!! Yes, obviously if any friend of mine had been in his place, then too I would have done the Same.

'Sid, you're observing things which do not exist I saved him because he is my friend if you were at his place, I would have done the Same thing'

Sid nodded and smiled

They chitchatted for some time later Sid left seeing Annika yawning after wishing he Good night, Annika slept within seconds due to medicine effect.

Other side

Shivaay was unable to sleep, today's incident was running in his mind again and again. He was feeling guilty for her condition, angry on her because she put her life at stake, scared of losing her, special because she cares for him, she risked her life for him! But why? Why did she react in that way? Why do she cares for me at that extent? do she love me? 440 volt smile formed on his lips. Yes, what else can be the reason? Obviously what else can be the reason. He smiled like a cheshire cat but his smile vanished remembering 'Arnav'. His expression changed to angry. Who is he? And why he is so important to Annika? Is he her boyf..no no no he can't be..but why I am behaving like this ? what is happening to me? Why am I thinking about her? Obviously due to the bet. Yes, it's the bet and nothing else. What am I doing with her? do she deserve all this? She saved my life and here I am playing with her emotions?

'Emotions!! Hahahaha..Is this word 'emotion' genuinely exist in today's world' laughed out his devil mind at his heart mocking at him

'Annika, saved you' his heart whispered

'Don't make out fool of yourself Shivaay. When your mom cannot be yours, how can you expect something from other girl' his mind said smirking

'enough' shouted Shivaay. 'I am not a fool I will not let her play with my emotions' he said sternly. 'She is just a mere bet to me' saying this he falls asleep but thoughts of Annika were not leaving his mind.

Next day,

Shivaay's POV

I am feeling very frustrated. Why? Because someone is not leaving my mind I am getting mad thinking of one girl yes! 'Annika'. That silly girl.
