Ye Ishq Hai

ch -4

" You are late miss Goenka" Aditya said when Avantika reached there in the cafe.

  " I was stuck in the traffic and it's not an excuse." she replied coldly.

  " I know relax, what will you eat? I have not placed orders till now because I didn't know about your choices" Aditya said.

   " I came here to talk to you not to have coffee with you. So let me directly come to the point, whatever my mom said to you about me, all is a big lie. I am not like that at all.I am not studying for anything. I have a boyfriend; he has asked 1 year time from me as he is working very hard to get investors for his start-up idea. When he will get that, then we will get married, and I will go away from here forever. I am just tolerating everything till that day. I hate my family and they too hate me. They are just pretending in front of your family to save their image and reputation. Look, I can see that your family is really good and you are very rich, you can get any girl to get marry, so don't run after me ok? I am not at all interested in you and I don't want to meet you after today. Please go and tell your family to cancel this alliance as you and your family had started this" Avantika rudely said to him.

     " If that is the case, then why it is like this? I mean why your mother lied? it can't be without any reason right? There must be something, tell me what it is? and regarding your boyfriend, trust me, I
had no idea about it. If I would have any idea then would have never approached you in the first place but before going from here, you have to tell me whole thing so that my mind can get clarity
and I can easily forget this chapter to move on. Tell me, why you don't have healthy relationship with your parents and why you didn't tell them about your boyfriend ?"Aditya asked answers from
her.

"Oh hello!! you are just a stranger for me, so don't behave as if you have rights on my life. Who the hell you think of yourself to ask me about my personal life and why should I tell you about my
personal life? Its none of your business, got it? so stay away from me and don't try to be over smart” Avantika again talked rudely with him and stood up to go away.

   " Avantika, sit down now and don't test my patience. I am talking normally with you, so there is no need to behave this much rudely, got it? I have cancelled one of the most important meetings to come here to meet you. You can't even imagine my loss and here you are giving me attitude? I missed my meeting so as a compensation at least I deserve one cup of coffee in silence. Don’t you
have even minimum courtesy? "This time Aditya talked angrily.

  For a few seconds Avantika was stunned because since she met him, he had never talked with her like that, and this tone of talking was a nightmare for her. She always gets scared whenever someone talks with her like that due to her past experience and makes her completely vulnerable in front of that person. Aditya noticed how her face lost all colours and how she was looking scared, he realised what a blunder he did.

   " Avantika, I am extremely sorry. Please don't mind it. Trust me, my intention was not that. It's just that, I didn't get any sleep yesterday and since morning I have not eaten anything, then the tension
of that cancelled meeting and on top of that your refusal have messed up my mind very badly. I am not giving any excuses but it's true.Please sit down,give me 5 minutes and carefully listen what I have to say. After that you can go, and I promise, I will not try to contact you but just give me 5 minutes.At least, this much you can do for me right?" Aditya requested to her.

     She didn't say anything and sat down.

  " Once again, I am sorry for my outburst but listen to me very carefully what I am going to say, ok? See, as I told you, I had no idea about your relationship and my mom thinks that I like you which is true. Right now, I can't go and tell her that this alliance is not possible as she will ask so many questions which I can't answer and I am sure your mom will again try to force you as she did earlier. I am asking you a favour for both of us, please give me 2-3 weeks time because upcoming 2-3 weeks are very crucial for me. I am overly loaded with work and working like a machine still it's not enough
and at this time, I can't handle all this emotional interrogation.So for this time period please stay quiet and don't say anything to our family. If they will ask you anything, just tell them that I have told you that we will talk after 3 weeks as I am very busy and I promise, I will handle everything after that. No one will question you or say anything to you including your mom, this is my guarantee. All you have to do is, stay quiet for few days, that's it" Aditya explained to her.
