Love In Vengeance

CHAPTER- 27

8 Years ago...

"You should go! She is your friend!" Aditya's mother told him who boringly sat on the couch. He was at his parents' place because it was the weekend.

"I'm not going to India! It's Neha's marriage, not Mira's!" He told her while opening the packet of chips.

He was first surprised, not because Neha was getting married but because he was talking about her the day before yesterday with Shivalika, who left without listening to him completely. But He was happy. She was getting married. He thought he still liked her, but he didn't feel anything for her, as a person maybe he liked her but not in other ways. She was just a mere crush that faded away a long time ago, she was just a memory.

He wanted to confess to Shivalika that he had a crush on Neha, but he never felt what he felt with her. But Shivalika concluded herself and started her 'Pehla Pyar adhura reh jata hai' Drama

"So what? You used to play with both of them, C'mon Adi, they were our neighbours! It will be rude if no one attends their wedding. I and your dad got work, or else we wouldn't have asked you!" She sat beside him.

"Mom, please! Even, I have work, I have meetings on the loop!" He replied, His focus was on Shivalika. He can't go and enjoy someone else's wedding when the one he was planning to get wed with was upset.

Yes, He realised that he loved her, to the hell with this contract. He just wanted her. Only she can handle him and only he can handle her. They may be very different people, they fight a lot, and they never agree with each other, but still, he wanted them to fight forever but together, in the same house, in the same bedroom.

He even bought a ring to propose her but before he could-- we all know what happened.

"That I don't care, postponed them! Wait! I have an Idea! Why don't You and Shivalika go? It will be best!!" His mother chirped in excitement. Aditya looked at her, horrified by her idea. Who gives such ideas to this lady? He thought

"Let me call Shivi---" She pulled out her phone and was about to call her but Aditya snatched her phone from her.

"No!" He said

"What? Why?" She asked, surprised by his behaviour.

"Sh-She is not here!" He told her.

"Huh? She didn't tell me!" She looked at him in confusion.

"Why would she tell you where she is going? She is My Girlfriend! Not yours, Mumma!" He gave her a 'duh' look.

"Ohoo, jealousy!?!" She teased him, and his eyes widened.

"No. Nothing like that! Don't disturb her!" He told her.

'C'mon, she is not even picking up my calls!!!' Aditya thought stumping on the floor in frustration. After their conversation that day, Shivalika is ignoring him. It's been 24 hours.

She just messaged him, informing him that she was going to India for a family emergency and she would be back in two weeks, but he was not ready to believe her. how would he wait for two weeks? He was feeling restless, he wanted to talk to her and clear everything, but she was not ready to hear him out.

"Did you guys fight?" His mother asked, seeing his frustrated face. Now, How can he tell his mother that, that girl was ignoring him, and it was making him restless? He had never tried to seek anyone's attention before so desperately, but right now, he was desperate for hers.

"No, Mom!" He replied and looked into his phone at her message, reading it again and again

"Maybe unknowingly you hurt her with your words"
