No Lies Last Forever

Chapter 8: Do I Really Love Her?

Daksh's POV:

"Vaibhav I think you should not have overreacted on this issue dude" I snap at Vaibhav as we come out of the campus after college is over.

"I know man. But I couldn't control myself" replies Vaibhav, scratching the backside of his head.

"There was no point hitting him this way. You could have sorted this out peacefully" I suggest him.

"I was noticing him from past thirty minutes of how he was flirting with Aarya. So as soon as he confessed, I couldn't control my anger" replies Vaibhav.

"Whatever. But I am really very disappointed from you" I say.

He turns towards me in surprise and asks "Why? Because I beat Vivan?"

"That is one of the reason" I reply by nodding to his statement.

"Then what is your main reason?" he asks.

"That you didn't even bother sharing with your best friend about your secret feelings for Aarya" I reply by avoiding eye to eye contact and rather choose to look straight.

"I actually wanted to confess this to Aarya first but..". He trails off.

"But?.." I ask curiously.

"I was waiting for the right time to come" he replies.

We reach near the parking and find my car. We enter inside. I sit on the driver's seat and Vaibhav slides on the passengers' seat. I put the key into the ignition and start the car.

"You know what Vaibhav? This 'Right Time' thing never comes" I say as we trail back to our houses. I will drop him to his home and then return to my house.

"Are you jealous Daksh?" asks Vaibhav turning his head to me.

"Why would I be?" I ask.

"Because I have developed feelings for her of course" says Vaibhav and rolls his eyes towards me.

"Not at all. You know that I don't care" I reply and ask "And what about that girl? What was her name? Oh yes! Shikha. Why did she get hurt?"

"Maybe because she likes me. She is my new and very good friend. I share almost everything with her. But I never knew she would develop feelings for me" chuckles Vaibhav.

"You hurt her, didn't you?" I ask and this time.

"No I didn't. I never said I love her. And why are you so concerned bro?"

"I am not. But what did you do when she started crying?" I ask and stops the car before the red light.

"I didn't do anything. Aditi came and she took Shikha with her" he replies. "By the way, Aditi is her best friend. You know right?" he smirks.

"Yes I know. Why?" I ask and start keeping my eyes off him.

"Because there is something definitely going on with you guys. Isn't?" he chuckles and winks at me.

"No-Not at all" I reply.

"Okay. But tell me one thing" he says.

Oh god why the traffic light is not turning green. This is becoming so difficult to tackle him. He is asking so many questions.

"What?" I ask. And this time in an irritated way.

"You like Aditi right?" he teases and puts his right arm across my shoulder and gives me a jerk.

I remove his hands from across my shoulder. "Wha-What are you asking Vaibhav? Are you out of your senses?" I ask and restart the car as the light turns green.
