Drishti's POV
" how did YOU end up in a bookstore ?" kiara questioned sitting in front of me, where yash sat few minutes ago.
" why ? I can read books" I said looking at the random book I picked up from the store before I met yash.
" you don't and never did, now tell me what's wrong ?"
" ugh I think someone is following me" I said, I actually had lunch plans with kiara today and due to some work she shifted our meet to evening.
"whattt ? "
" After your call, I decided to stroll around and I had a hunch that someone was following me but I let it go"
" okay then ? " She said, her hand under her chin
" this is not some movie story, kiara !!"
" I know I know, you are safe now, that's what matters and CONTINUE "
" yeah, At first I thought he just had to go to the same place as me, the car was behind me all the time. I felt weird and stopped in front of a place to have lunch, that's when I started to feel anxious, he followed me inside the restaurant and sat a table away from me. he wore this all black outfit, I was scared ki--"
"drishti, it does feel like a movie story" she said excitedly, god what kind of friends did you give me
" It's not kiara !!! I was soo lucky that I met yash today, If not, only god knows what could have happened ?"
" you met whom ?? " she asked and then I explained her how I practically ran from restaurant and went into the next store I found and picked a random book. And before I almost went up to a random oldie, I saw yash seriously reading a book and I felt a lot more safe with him rather than that oldie.
" ohhh, I think we should inform uncle about this drishti " she said, her voice serious.
" no no no " informing dad about this ? I already know how it will go !
" but drishti-- "
" we are not sure that there is a stalker right ? If I feel something suspicious, I am gonna call dad myself, okay ? "
"okay but the minute something happens, I am calling uncle "
" okay okay okay "
" be safe and careful drishti, I don't think it's any thief or something and you know why I feel like that " she said her eyes filled with worry and concern.
" I will be, don't worry ! Now, tell me about your boss ? " I asked her diverting the topic, she has this massive crush on her boss.
" About him .........................

It's 10 pm now and am travelling back home, I was with kiara till now. She asked 100 times about staying with me today because of the incident but I know she has to leave to work really early tomorrow and her office and my house are north and south. But now I kind of regret not letting her come with me, okay I am scared as hell. I keep checking the rear and side view mirrors. nothing is wrong drishti, you are just 10 minutes away, be cool, be cool, be cool.
After those painful 10 minutes, I am finally home and I see dhruv getting out of their car.
" hey " I said getting out of my car, he looked at me, gave me a small nod and started walking towards the door.
" If you don't want people to think that you are mute, start opening your mouth " I said and marched inside my house, why do I always say something stupid to him ? why ?
oh, I almost forgot to call Adithi admist all the stuff, I called her and she picked up in few rings.
" helloo, drishti "
" don't hello me Adithi arora "
" what did I do to anger you ? " she said confused
" I am gonna kill you, once I meet you Adithi "
" what ? what's wrong ? "
" why the hell did you tell yash about our conversation ? " I yelled at her.
" oh, shittt. how do you know? oh my god, you met him ? and why did he tell you that he knows ? he promised that he won't ! don't tell me both of you spoke about your cur-----"
" Both of us ? " whattttt ????????
" he didn't speak anything right ? " she asked
" nope, but you did. Now tell me everything "
" umm about that- I - I have a patient waiting on me, gotta go. byee drishti, I'll call you later " with that she cut the call. what did she mean by that ? God again, what kind of friends did you give me.

NEXT DAY
" Are you ready yet ? " Rahul said waiting for me in my living room.
" yes yes, just a minute "
" you have been saying the samething from 15 minutes drishtii " he complained, when I was having a random conversation with rahul, both of us got to know that we love Arcade games. So, we decided to go play today.
" I am done, let's go ! "
" finally, let's go ! boss must be waiting for us " he said rushing outside
" what ? I thought only we were going ? " I asked him
" yes, only us "
" then why is dhruv waiting ? "
" oh that, he will be our uber for the day " rahul said with a wicked smile.
" we can always go in my car rahul " I said shaking my head
" ehh It's okay " he said pulling me towards their car. I sat at the back, while rahul sat beside drhuv. The whole ride I was silent, both of them speaking random stuff and rahul obviously yapping, I could feel dhruv's stares or glares- I don't know on me from the rear view mirror.
" thanks boss, don't forget to pick us up here in the evening " rahul said opening the door and both of us got off.
" Drishti ? " dhruv called me making me turn back, he gestured for me to come closer to the car.
" what ? " I said feeling anxious
" If you don't want people to think that you are mute, start opening your mouth " Those were the exact words he dared to speak before turning the engine on and storming off. HOW DARE HE ! I hate him - I hate him.
