I paced around the room

I paced around the room. I was just lost in my thoughts until I heard her voice.

"I thought you hurt your foot?" Ruh asked, looking confused.

Damn it. Why does it always happen to me.

I looked up at her, gulped, as she was looking dangerous at this time.

"Uh, Ruh, what are you doing here?"

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"I asked you first."

I grinned sheepishly, trying to act casual.

"Yeah, it's... hurting. A lot." I sat down on the bed, grabbing my right foot like it was the source of all my problems.

She squinted her eyes, "Right foot? But didn't you hurt your left foot?"

I froze.
Did I hurt my left foot?
For God sake Vihu, you were so lost in your thoughts that you actually forgot which foot i pretended to be hurt.

Ahhh, then it means, I had been holding the wrong foot.

"Ahhnn, yeah, left foot," I quickly replied, pretending to be holding my left foot.

"It's just... really bad. I can't even stand properly."

"You know what....Right foot was the one", she rolled her eyes at me before glaring at me. Her sharp gaze is making me shiver in fear.

At this moment I knew, I messed up.

I rubbed the back of my neck nervously and muttered while closing my eyes, "Okay! I am sorry. I lied"

As I opened my eyes, she gave me a glare that felt like it could burn through concrete.

"Wow, congratulations, Mr. Raichand. You're saying like you've achieved something big?"

"Did I?" I asked her cheerfully, trying to lighten the mood.

But damn she is looking like a hot volcano ready to explode, and I'd gladly melt under her sharp gaze.

But then I mentally slapped myself for thinking that way at this moment.

"Why did you lie?"

I hesitated. I wasn't ready to tell her the truth. What could I say? That I didn't want her with Varun? That I hated seeing him around her? If I could, I'd send Varun to another planet so he couldn't get close to my Ruh. The heck, I don't want anyone close to my Ruh who isn't Vihaan Raichand.

"Uh, it's... it's complicated"

She raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. "Complicated? Can you elaborate more about what is being complicated"

"Ruh I was being stupid and i lied, no I mean I wasn't being stupid but...no it was i actually don't know...." I shrugged my shoulders as I felt the words get caught in my throat.
