Haal e dil: The Tale Of Love

➤ chapter 10

Just as kriyansh was about to move, Aakriti jerked his hand standing. "I'm not coming," she declared, crossing her arms, her voice trying to sound firm, but the glint in her eyes betrayed her.

"Yeh hui na baat", Akash said.

Ishaan, who had been watching the scene unfold, decided to jump in. With a mischievous grin, he called out, "Yes, don't go with this beast."

Kriyansh shot Ishaan a warning look, but before he could respond, Aakriti whipped around, her eyes narrowing.

"Beast?" she snapped stepping forward, Ishaan nearly took a step back.

"Hmm...", he said.

"Beast?! Did you just call him a beast?" she shouted, her voice raising.

Her eyes zeroed in on a nearby vase, and without hesitation, she picked it up, holding it like a weapon. Ishaan's eyes widened in pure panic.

"Okay, okay! I take it back! He's not a beast, he's... he's... an angel!" Ishaan stammered, slowly backing away, his hands raised in surrender.

Kriyansh smirked, clearly enjoying how she stood up for him.

But she wasn't listening. She stepped closer to Ishaan, raising the vase slightly as if she were seriously considering throwing it. "Call him a beast again, and I'll give you a reason to fear me."

Ishaan gulped, clearly regretting. "No, no! Never again! Kriyansh is... the kindest, sweetest, most gentle person on the planet!".

Kriyansh smirked, folding his arms and leaning against the wall, enjoying every second of Ishaan's misery.

"Good! And don't you forget it. Next time, think before you speak!", she said.

Ishaan, looking like a deer caught in headlights, just nodded rapidly. "Noted. Definitely noted."

She lowered the vase just a bit but gave Ishaan one last dangerous look.

Srishti grinned, shaking her head her head. "get her out of here before she start throwing things for real."

She glared at her and srishti gulped. Aakriti turned and Went to kriyansh,

"Where are we??", she asked.

"Going out", he said.

"Hmm...Let's go", she said holding his hand and went from there.

As soon as Kriyansh and Aakriti walked out of the room, Ishaan let out a deep breath, wiping the imaginary sweat off his forehead dramatically. He glanced around at the other, still in shock at what just happened.

"Yaar, I swear... they're both the same!" Akash muttered, shaking his head.

"Both of them are dangerous! Did you see how she grabbed that vase?", Ishaan exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air dramatically.

"This is usual for us," malishka shrugged, trying not to laugh. "You don't know Aakriti well enough yet. She's a total angry bird."

Srishti nodded in agreement. "Yep, you mess, you better be prepared. She doesn't need much to launch into 'warrior mode.'"

Ishaan scoffed, still shaken. "Woww!!, they're both equally mad. First, he's the 'beast,' and now she's acting like a warrior with that vase".

"If they team up in a fight, we're all doomed", akash spoke with fake terrifying face.

The others burst into laughter as ishaan slumped back into his chair. "Man, next time, I'm keeping my mouth shut. No more poking fun at them. They're too much alike-it's terrifying!"
