HIS PEERLESS HALF

CHAPTER - 12 (Wounds of words)

AUTHOR'S POV:

The chatter continued for a long time, including playful banters, sassy back firings, joyous moments, rude-quick overs, secret glances, passing knowing looks etc. Yet a certain tension lingered in the living area.

"So............ You both know eachother?" Suhani asked, smiling slightly.

Aadhya tensed at the question; nevertheless, nodded and responded, "Yes, cordial associate." She answered. "We were paired up in a project back in university." She clarified, seeing their confused expression.

Yuvan stared at her and nodded; and this time she too stared at him deadly, with her eyes holding a visible emotion, rage. But the rage was only a mask of Deception.....LOVE. That's what it was concealing.

"Well! It doesn't look like you both are just cordial associates." Disha said harshly, emphasizing 'just'.

The realization hit her but was too late, because Yuvan was throwing daggers at her where as Aadhya was all ready with a comeback.

"Think what you want. We don't owe you an explanation." She said casually but the darkness in her voice betrayed her casualty.

Disha looked at her with her eyes wide. She let out a nervous chuckle suppressing her fury glancing at Yuvan.

"Who is this uncouth?" She asked Aditya-staring at her, in a hushed tone.

"This.............chauhan's princess" He mimicked, "Disha." He answered with an eye-roll.

"She looks like a bish." She whispered.

"Bish?" He asked, confused with her choice of words.

"Hmm..B.I.T.C.H." She made him understand by spelling it's letters.

"Oh! Good girl, I see." He said, amusement crystal-clear in his voice.

She gave a proud look to him.

She didn't feel uncomfortable 'only' and mostly with him. Why? Even she doesn't know except for connecting a bit cracky biology of her. Why? Again she doesn't know.

"You know, she have a huge crush on Yuvan bhai, including preeti and priya. Actually......you can call it obsession." He remarked thoughtfully.

Aditya is the most observing person in the whole mansion after Ishani, excluding Aadhya.

"I can already see that, due to the stealing of impatient secret glances and that cringy Idiotic blush, whenever he flex his bicep. Fudging idiotic teenagers." She scrunched her nose at their actions as she was feeling 'disgusting'.

Yes! Disgusting and nothing else.

"Okay! But why are you getting so agitated?" He asked calming her. Aadhya understood his underlying meaning and glared at him.

"Because I feel disgusting." She didn't lie.

"Oh! Okayyyyy!" He smirked.

"Thappad lagaungi ab." She threatened.

(Will slap you now)

"Arey! But what did I do?" He played innocent.

"Playing innocent, haan?" She asked.

"No need to be offended. Just teasing." He said with a nervous chuckle, watching her hand going near her heel.

Aadhya innocently frowned, "what happened, suddenly?" She asked retreating her hand after correcting the bottom of her pants.

"Nothing." He said with a forced smile. "By the way....." He trailed off, making her raise brows in suspicion.

"By the way, if you ever want my help in any thing, remember that I am just a clue away. And yes, I am serious." He said playfully smiling at her, though his heart was at uneasiness sensing her unusual behaviour.
