Love Together

Chapter 14

Apologies for the delayed update, everyone. Thanks for your understanding.

In the night

Feeling a growing distance between Aayansh and herself, Vrinda decided to take a subtle approach. She called a trusted servant, Meera, to her side.

After dinner, Vrinda sat in her room, lost in deep thought. Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on her door. Vrinda called out, "Come in."

Meera entered, greeting Vrinda respectfully, "Good evening,Ranisa. You called for me; is there something you need assistance with?"

Vrinda nodded, appreciating Meera's promptness. "Yes, Meera. I wanted to talk to you about something important."

"Ranisa, you may simply command, and I will follow," Meera said respectfully.

"Meera , I've noticed a change in Aayansh's behavior, especially towards me. Keep an eye on him and Radhi without them realizing. I need to understand what's going on,"Vrinda instructed with a furrowed brow.

Meera, loyal and discreet, nodded understanding , "I'll be vigilant, ma'am. You can count on me."

In Rayansh's room

Radhi, sitting comfortably on the couch, was engrossed in using her phone, while Ayaansh, intensely focused, worked on his laptop seated on the bed.

Suddenly, Radhi's phone ran out of battery, prompting her to get up and plug it into the charging point near Ayaansh's bed.

Observing Ayaansh deeply engrossed in his work, Radhi, intrigued, approached him and inquired, "Ayaansh, how do you know about Sky, the e-sport gamer?"

Ayaansh, caught off guard, turned to face Radhi, his expression revealing surprise.

He quickly replied, "You don't know that one can't snoop into someone else's phone, tablet, or laptop? "

Radhi, retorts, "Well, I know that and I don't make it a habit to play detective in everyone's phones."

Not understanding Ayaansh's sudden change in demeanor, Radhi persisted, "I was just curious! What's keeping you so busy?"

Ayaansh immediately comes up with an excuse, saying, 'Nothing special, I just like eSports.'

Radhi, excitement lighting up her face, exclaimed, "Oh, my God! I'm a massive e-sports fan too ! Especially Devil King! If I ever meet him, I won't let him go without getting to know him."

"Well, I heard that Devil King is very rude," Ayaansh said.

"Absolutely not! Radhi declared.

"Why not?" Ayaansh inquired, genuinely curious about Radhi's proclamation.

"Because I like him," Radhi declared.

"In that case, Yash Bhai also used to be your preference," Ayaansh casually remarked, unknowingly revealing.

As Yash's name slipped from Ayaansh's lips, Radhi's smile did a disappearing act.

Ayaansh, in a moment of self-realization, felt the weight of his unfiltered words and a guilty twinge.

"Oh Ayaansh, seriously, is there no leash on your mouth? You blurt out anything," Ayaansh chastised himself with a mental facepalm.

"Radhi, I'm sorry, don't take it too seriously. Today, I don't know what got into me,"Ayaansh apologized, seeking forgiveness from Radhi.

Without saying a word, Radhi gets up and heads to the wardrobe to grab her blanket. Ayaansh, feeling remorseful, follows her, repeatedly apologizing.

"Radhi, I truly didn't mean to upset you. It just slipped out," Ayaansh apologized.
