Sometimes words are not enough

Obsessed

Chapter-23~Obsessed~

Aadhya's POV-

"I am leaving" Sidharth said. "No". He left from the opposite way. He always had a way of running way from things. I begged him to not go in my mind because Rishi was standing just in front of me but he left. "Hey" I said awkwardly to Rishi.

"So he's the one?" I don't know what he meant.

"What?" I asked.

"Never mind. Does Sidharth know about me liking you?" This is so damn awkward.

"Ye-yes" I stuttered.

"He acts really well then. He acts as if he doesn't know anything about us. By the way, does he really not care about us or does he trust you a bit too much?" He asked. What? How am I supposed to know?

"There's nothing about us? We are normal friends, right? You used to like me-" He didn't let me complete the sentence.

"And you rejected me for him" He said. 

"Yes. I did. It's not because he is better than you. It's because even when he is not perfect I like him. I like him with all his imperfections. And I am pretty sure you'll get better girls than me" I said.

"But I won't get you." He said. 

"Yes. You won't. Years later you'll be happy that I didn't choose you because you'll be happily married to the person you love" I said.

"And you? Will it be the same for you?" He asked.

"I don't know. Maybe. I hope it'll be the same for me." I said. I didn't know what to say. Can I really marry Sidharth? Being with him itself is like a dream to me.

"Fine. I guess it's late. Go to sleep now" He said. Thank god! 

"Good night" I said and left.

Sidharth's POV-

Why is my life always so complicated? I am seriously living in the same room with the guy my girlfriend rejected. I felt sorry when I left Aadhya alone but I couldn't stay there.

I had to pretend to sleep before Rishi comes in the room. Deb was snoring so loudly. I thought I'll scroll through my phone for sometime before Rishi comes.My phone was on charge beside Rishi's. I went to take my phone but I couldn't resist the urge to see his phone. I knew his password. I had seen it on the train, he was posting the pictures we took on Instagram. 

I opened his phone. I could see a lot of DMs on his Insta. He is very active on social media. I chose not to go through his DMs. I don't even know why I was scrolling through his phone. I closed Instagram. In his phone there was a folder which had no name. It had a heart sign. I opened that. There were pictures of Aadhya. Not the ones she posted on social media. they were random pictures he took while she was talking to her friends. I was jealous. I just didn't know what to do. Aadhya looked so pretty in all those pictures. He does like Aadhya a lot. there were over 40 pictures. Even though the pictures were not taken in a bad way, taking pictures of someone without their permission is not right. I didn't know what to feel. I was jealous but I knew Aadhya would never choose me over him. But he likes her too much. Just the way I liked Shanaya. He is obsessed with Aadhya. Shit! I heard footsteps outside. I closed his phone, before closing it I deleted the history. I ran to the bed and pretended to sleep beside Deb. He should pursue photography I thought, but not with Aadhya as his model, never. Next time if I ever open his phone I am going to delete that folder. 

I could feel the old me in Rishi. He was like how I used to be. And I don't know whether being obsessed with someone is liking that person but I was definitely obsessed with Shanaya and Rishi is definitely obsessed with Aadhya.
