His Lost Heartbeat

Chapter 20

"By the way he was hot . Wasn't he?" Betty's dreamy voice made Aadhya quirk her eyebrows.

"Who?" She asked cautiously. Betty's crush on Anirudh was not hidden from him.

"Mr. R.C " She replied.

"Sakha Babu is not interested in you , Betty" Her voice turned out sharper than she intended.

"Sakha Babu?" This was the time for Betty to quirk her eyebrows.

"Mr. Barrister" Replied Aadhya.

"Ohho!" Betty spoke with teasing glint in her voice. " Why are you offended?"

"I am not offended. I am just stating " Speak Aadhya without metting her gaze.

"Your tone was quite sharper according to a mere statement" She spoke. " Last time when I checked you only appreciate Mr. Barrister for his works. What changes in these days?"

"Nothing " replied Aadhya trying to act nonchalant though she felt heat creeping up on her cheeks ." We have become friends. Sakha means friend " she clarified.

"That's the best thing you have done " Spoke Betty in excitement. " Don't you want that two of your friends end up together. We , as a couple, will look good together.

"I am not going to repeat this. He is not interested in you" Spoke Aadhya trying to hide the irritation that seemed to increase with each word of Betty.

"Then you should help me to make him interested " Betty spoke ." Just fix a date for us . Where there will no one just us. And I will impress him with my hot diva look. He won't be able to divert his eyes fro...."

"Enough....."Aadhya spoke heatedly. "He won't even look at you. and I am sure about it "Betty looked at her for sometime and then burst into a fit of  laughter.

"Oh my god! Aadya .You are jealous." Spoke Betty. " Tell me truthfully. You like him , don't you."

"He is already married " Aadhya replied.

"What! But I haven't seen his wife" Betty spoke.

"People say that she is no more but He believes that she is alive and one day she will come back to him" Aadhya said.

"It is hard for some people to accept death of their dear ones. But how long will he deny. 3  months, 6 months, may be a year or two , after that he has to...

"Six or seven years" Aadhya heckled the middle. " He is waiting for his wife from past six or seven years .I don't remember the exact number." Betty looked at her feeling lost of words while Aadhya completed her night routine and lay on the bed.

"Anyways I was talking about the man who was in denim." Betty spoke when she lied beside Aadhya

Batuk?" Aadhya spoke in excitement.

"His name is Batuk" Said Betty.

"He too is my friend ." She replied, feeling excitement bubbling in her.

"Then I am going to hit on your friend" Spoke Betty with a big grin on her face ." I hope you won't mind".

"Why will I ?" Aadhya spoke grinning at her. "But please don't molest the poor village boy ."

"I'll try my best but can't promise " Spoke Betty and both of them giggles. Silence followed their heartfelt laughter.

"By the Aadya , how does it make you feel?" She asked and Aadhya turned her face towards.
