The Naivety Of A Heart (Original Unedited Version)

Chapter 13- Envious Games

Insecurity is that feeling of uncertainty and fear which develops in those who are scared of someone, whom they think can prove to be a better competent for them in every field. Though, the other has absolutely no intention of causing any harm to them, but the person couldn't help but feel jealous of them because they know that if given a chance the other can actually beat them in their own game. Thus, to satisfy their envious minds, all they think is of avenging because that's the only plausible option, they can think of. When the topic is itself their insecurities, then there is no doubt that in their mad thirst of putting the other down, their ploys could be exceptionally sinful or disastrously, but there is one bigger truth that, intentions that are wrong from one aspect, might prove to be beneficial from the other aspect which the person might not think at first, but sooner or later, they realize the gravity of it.

Sonia sat rigid on the couch the next day as Raisha was serving breakfast to all at the dining table while Aayush's gaze was fixed on her constantly which was irking Sonia to the core. She couldn't understand, what Raisha has that Aayush was so dependent on her, to not even look at her or anyone else. She had tried so many times to get close to him, but everytime he would simply dismiss her away as if she has a plague. It was like his entire life and breathing were controlled by Raisha and her alone.

"Do you plan to curse her mentally the entire day?" Vikram who joined beside Sonia whispered in her ears while she gave him a bored look.

"He is not even looking at me, what else should I do!" She replied in a whisper while her brother gave her a smirk, which was evil yet sinful then taking a good look at Raisha, he slowly mumbled, "If he is not looking at you then seperate the one from him, at which his eyes are fixed at".

"What do you mean?" She asked and then keenly observing her brother who was having a playful look on his face, her own eyes lit up with evilness as a full fledged plan enrolled in her mind.

"Guys, be ready at 4 we will go to the beach!" One of the troop members announced while everyone applauded and the Kapoor Siblings gave victorious smirks to each other as their mind was bursting with hate for Raisha in that present moment as she was smiling at Aayush while he was busy eating.

"I am not well so you all go and have fun. Raisha will stay with me," Aayush announced after a while, once he was done eating after a lot of pestering from Raisha.

Since he woke up, he was feeling unusually terrible, and his head was aching badly, neither he felt like talking nor he felt like eating which was troubling Raisha to the core as he was behaving like a baby. His exhaustive rehearsals were finally taking a toll on his health which were worrying Raisha but much to her tension, he was not even ready to take the medicine.

The siblings exchanged worried looks with each other, and then Sonia took up the charge in her hands and spoke, "Aayush atleast let Raisha come with us. I mean you have brought her here for having fun so let her enjoy with everyone and once we get back to Kolkata, she obviously won't get time to relax".

Shipra and Sarthak coughed their juice out and stood up on their feet in shock while Raisha was staring at Sonia in confusion while Aayush was scrutinizing her from top to bottom, still not able to digest the fact of her changing behavior.

Sarthak walked upto Sonia, and checked her forehead with the back of his palm, then turning around to Shipra, he informed, "She doesn't have fever!"

"What are you both implying at?" Sonia asked confused at their antics, and laughing Sarthak replied, "You don't have fever nor you hit your head on the wall, so how come you switched to Doordarshan from Zee Cafe?"

"What??" She screamed horrified at her insult while everyone burst out laughing at Sarthak's humor and Shipra joined, him and stated, "Seriously, Sonia till last night you were having world war with Raisha, then how come you shifted from British news to Indian news?"
