𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 : The Aditi And kartik Saga

Mr. Jealous

<< after a day >>

Aditi's POV
As I stood outside Kartik's home, I could feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety bubbling inside me. I knew I had to clear the air between us, especially after the cold shoulder he’d been giving me.

His jealousy over my friendship with Harry was palpable, but I never meant for it to hurt him. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A moment later, Kartik opened it, his expression unreadable.

But then, he just moved from there without greeting me nor he pulled me inside. I just sighed.

As I stepped into Kartik's home, a mix of nervousness and determination washed over me. The house felt unusually quiet, just the two of them..... Kartik and Karan. I knew Kartik was upset, and I couldn't bear the thought of him being mad at me.

The jealousy in his eyes when he saw me laughing with Harry still lingered in my mind.

Me- "Hii, Karan !!"

I called out cheerfully, hoping to lighten the mood. Karan looked up from his video game and grinned, but I shifted my focus to Kartik, who was sulking on the couch, arms crossed.

Karan- "Arey, Bhabhi, aap ?"

I smiled nervously as he was shocked enough to see me without any notification to him.

Me- "Umm... Main andar aa jau ?"

Karan- "Arey, sure sure... Why not ! Aapka hi toh Ghar hain !" I smiled.

Karan- "Well, aap pehle batati toh hum ghar ki setting achhe se kar lete... Actually, Maa, Papa, Kavya bhabhi aur Aditya Bhai ek family function mein gaye hain..."

Me- "Ohh, wahi soch rahi thi ki ghar mein itni shaanti kyun hain !"

Karan- "By the way.... Aap dono kaa zagda hya hain kya ?"

Me- "Well, kuchh yun hi samazo...! Aapke bhai humse naaraz hokar baithe hain."

Karan- "Lagta hain Kartik bhai aapse bohot hi jyada naaraz hain, bhabhi." He whispered to me. Uff, mahh mann !

Me- "Naak pe gussa rehta hain, hamesha Inka... Itna gussa pata nahi kaun sale mein bechne nikala hain."

We both giggled meanwhile Kartik just shot glare at us. But still we both didn't stop to laugh. And finally, Mr. Jealous... I mean.. Kartik frowned and sighed while crossing his arms.

Kartik- "What do you want, Aditi ?"

Me- "Main toh bas aapse baat karna chahati hun, Kartik. Muze ye achha nahi lag raha hain ki aap muzse baat nahi kar rahe hain."

I tried to he calm at this moment, where, he just avoided eye contact.

Kartik- "Muze nahi lagta aur kuchh kehna baaki bhi hain ab."

Me- "come, on... It was just a friendly conversation... Aur waise bhi, woh usi din India aaya tha so main bas usse milkar excited thi."

I stepped closer to him.

Me- "You know that he was my colleague aur Aisa thodi hain ki aapko pata nahi  hain uske baare mein."

Kartik- "You were practically laughing like you were 'Best friends' !! What do you expect me to feel ?" His voice is slightly raised.
