Confused 💞

55.

"Would you like to say something in your defence" Tarun asked to both Karan and Teja who stood infront of him in silence.

"Bhai we just went to the terrace. You know I like going there." Teja said.

"So why did you do it so slyly . You could have told me "

"Because it was my idea. She was clueless." Karan said.

"And who all were involved in your plan except Sameer."

"Kirti di." He replied.

"That's all" Tarun asked doubtful.

"I knew about it too." Niti said as she joined them in the living room.

"Thought so." Tarun said and glared at her.

"Bhabhi is not at fault. She did say that I should inform you too and that you won't appose it but.."

"But for you I'm the villain of your love story." Tarun said taunting.

"No...no...not at all."

"Then , why did you sneak out."

"I just thought that" , he took a pause.

"You thought ? "

"I thought that it's .... romantic"

Niti chuckled but instantly covered her mouth to supress her laugh. Sameer turned the other way to hide his smile, and Teja looked with disbelief at Karan who stood with a straight face.

"Teju" Tarun said "are you sure about him." He asked with a serious face but soon after they both burst into a fit of laughter .

The next morning everyone gather near the dinning table for the breakfast, except Karan.

"Where is Karan ? Did he not get ready yet ." Karan's mother asked Sameer.

"He got ready, but he looks a bit busy. He is attending some calls from the morning."

"Teja , go tell him to leave his work for sometime and join us ."
.
.

"Who gave you the permission to give my phone number to anyone without my permission." Karan said on the call clearly angry.

"I thought that maybe we could find a solution if you two talked directly to each other."

"Rubbish. Do I not know that it will just invite more problems than solving them. I can't deal with her ."

"I'm sorry sir. I will try to stop her from calling you ". The member of his PR team said nervously .

"You think you can stop her ?" Karan sighed. "Anyways, thanks for atleast informing me beforehand. "
"I will reach today till evening  so we can have a meeting by 7 . I need everyone present."

"Sure sir."

He cut the call and a pair of hands hugged him from behind. "Who got my boyfriend so stressed."

"My girlfriend. "

Teja frowned.

"Sorry I mean my rumoured girlfriend." Karan's phone rang the next second. "See...think of the devil and the devil is here."

"Riya ? "

Karan nodded.

"But why is she calling you now."

"Apparently she is very upset by the story I put yesterday."

"Why is she upset ?"

"Let her answer this question herself". Karan said and picked up the call and kept it on speaker.

"Hello Karan ?"

"Yes."

"Hi, it's Riya speaking."

"Why ?" He said with annoyance and received a light hit on his shoulder by Teja.

"I mean ...hi" he corrected.

"I don't like wasting time so I will jump right on the point" she said arrogantly "I think it was well discussed by our PR teams that we will not react to the dating rumours, so what you did yesterday was totally unexpected ."

"I agree. My team should have never agreed to your pointless idea. We did a mistake there I agree , but I told them to clear everything up before putting the story."

"That doesn't matter. The point is that you disrespected me. The words you used in your story were very offensive Karan. "

Karan instantly looked at Teja questioning if anything about his post was offensive.
Teja shook her head and Karan again went back to the call.

"I don't think I did any such..."

"You did" Riya interrupted Karan midway. "You think I don't know what you wanted to do with that , not even friends in brackets. "

"Stating facts"

There was silence from the other end for a few seconds. "Okay and what about you saying that you don't want to be friends in the future too , what were you trying to do there ."

"Again stating facts."

"You shut up" she shouted.

"Lower your voice Riya , it's very irritating. And don't even dare to speak to him this way ever again." Teja said sternly.

Karan's jaw dropped. He never saw Teja talking harshly with anyone. She never used to raise her voice on anyone. She was always kind and polite, so to see her talk that way shocked him.

Though deep down he happy to know that she used this tone only because she could not see anyone disrespect him. His tiny little girlfriend would never let that happen.

"Who's that."

"Doesn't matter. The thing that matters is, is that you even lack basic manners and etiquette ."

"Mind your own business bitch."

"What the.." Karan said and formed a fist. He was about to say something when Teja held his hand and asked him calm down. She opened his fist and crossed her fingers with his.

"Riya" Teja said coldly "I think you will be pleased to know that this is what my buisness is. "
"The person you called, and the person who's name you whole heartedly use to stay relevant, is my boyfriend. "

Dead silence is what followed.

Karan was about to cut the call when Riya again spoke. "Oh so it was you on who's command he posted that story. You are truly insecure, aren't you."

Teja chuckled dryly and said, "girl give me one reason of why will I be insecure by you."

"Because you know that there are thousands of people out there who love me and Karan together."

"But who does Karan love ?" Teja asked.

She sighed and continued, "Riya, I'm sorry to say but you called it upon yourself. Not reacting to rumours is one thing but you were just continuously encouraging them when you knew that there was nothing of that sought between you two. He had to take that step, you left him with no choice. "

Riya yawned, "Oh God , you are so boring. You almost put me to sleep."

"You should rather sleep only . Maybe that will help you to think clearer . Have a good sleep dear. Bye."

Teja said and cut the call.

She then rested her head on Karan's shoulder.
"She is so...so... weird." She said.

"I'm so sorry that you had to deal with her."

"This was long due. She was eyeing my boyfriend since forever."

Karan smiled. "You know what" he said.

"What?"

"You look extremely hot when you are angry. "

"Thanks." She said and leaned more in his embrace.

"Oh God. Are you two done romancing. We are waiting for you since so long." Kirti said and took both of them with her for the breakfast.
