THE TRIP

CHAP 13

When I saw the shocked expression on Aarav's face, I knew he had already seen everything and I felt really awkward standing there. But then I had to introduce them, so I introduced them to each other. Vivan still had his grip on my waist when I introduced them.

After that they shook their hands but I could see a hurt look on Aarav's face and suddenly I felt sad, I had no idea why I felt so, but I did.

Just then I saw Riya walking towards me with Sid. When she came towards us, I introduced her and Sid to Vivan. But the weird thing was that they both also looked sad and shocked. I mean I thought that if I ever had a boyfriend, they would really be happy for me but the scenario was completely different here.

Just then I remembered that Aarav had proposed Riya, she was sad and crying before, but now she was looking perfectly normal.

"Excuse me for a minute, I want to talk with Riya about something." and then I dragged Riya along with me.

"Riya, what happened to you, I mean what are you going to do ?" I asked her.

"Huh, about what ?" she asked me.

"About Aarav and Sid, of course."

"Oh that, you better ask Aarav himself about that." she said and went towards Sid.

So I went towards them and asked Aarav, and he looked really confused when I asked him about Riya,
"Well, actually it was just a prank. I didn't do anything like that. I can't propose Riya, she is already with Sid. And she is my Best friend." He said and that time I felt glad that it was all just a prank.

"Wow, that must have been awesome. I mean you guys know her so less, yet you know how to fool her. That was awesome idea." Vivan said and for saying that he received a punch from me.

"Well Vivan, what are you doing here ? Is Ishika here too ? Where is she ?" I asked him.

"Woah Aarohi, cool down. I am here on a vacation and yes Ishu is here too. She is at the hotel, with her newly made best friend. God I just don't get it how quickly she makes friends ?Actual...." I didn't listen to anything he said further because all my attention was on Aarav, he looked so sad.

He has gotten so quite and all the glow on his face, the cheerfulness, that beautiful smirk of his, that smile, everything was gone. I just can't look at him like that. I felt really bad for him. So without even thinking I went towards him and hugged him.

He was taken back by my action. It even surprised me. And when I realized what I did I quickly tried to get away from him, but his hands were around my waist, holding me tight. This time I felt something different in his touch. I couldn't figure it out but I know for sure that it was something different and it felt so nice.

"Ummm, Aarohi." I heard Vivan say and that was when Aarav loosened his grip and I set myself free.

"Ummm sorry Aarav. I have no idea why I did it." I said .

"You don't need to be sorry Aarohi, it's okay." he said.

"Ummm, well guys that's too much for today and it's already too late. We must go to our hotels now. It would be better." Sid said.

"Well, you guys can go to hotels, I am not going." Riya said.

"Huh, why are you not going to hotel. Are you going to spend the night here?" Vivan asked.

"Oh, it's not so, actually Riya has her relatives here, she is staying with them." I cleared his doubt.

"Yuss" Riya said.

"Actually, I guess it's a invitation for me to go with her. You could have asked directly." Sid said kissing Riya on her cheek.

But Riya pushed him away. "Ohh, very funny of you Sid. It's not an invitation." Riya said.

"Is that so. That means you don't love me now. I am feeling really sad now. Did you get serious with the prank Aarav did ?" Sid said brushing of his fake tears.

"Drama Queen !" I said loudly. And that got everyone there laughing loudly.

"I am going to kill you Aarohi. Remember that." Sid said getting angry.

"You wish." I said sticking out my tongue towards him.

"Okay, that's enough. We should leave now." Aarav said.

"Okay fine." Everyone agreed.

While leaving Sid gave me a kiss on cheek and said "We will meet at 7 here tomorrow, bye and have a good night."

Riya hugged me. But the thing that hurt me was that Aarav just went away without even saying bye.

When Riya, Sid and Aarav were gone, I was left alone with Vivan. And even without any warning he pulled me towards him and started kissing me passionately and I kissed him back. But suddenly he parted apart and said, "Aarohi, I love you, and you are only mine." And I said nodded my head.

"Well, you were telling about Ishu." I said .

"Oh, that, she has made friends with a girl staying to the room next to ours, her name is Gracy. Why don't you come to meet her tomorrow ?" He asked.

"I can't Vivan, we had already made plans. You heard Sid, right." I said.

"Well, you can cancel your plans. I am sure they won't mind. And by the way, you are my girlfriend now, so you should at least listen to me. Please Aarohi." He said giving me is cutest smile and I couldn't help but agree.

"Great, so we will meet at 9 at your hotel. I will come to get you. So which hotel are you staying at ? " He asked. I gave him my hotel address and he was now smiling from ear to ear.

"Hmmm, okay. Bye."

Saying so I was about to leave, but just then, Vivan held my hand and said, "Goodbye kiss !" and gave me a kiss.
And then after we parted,
"Now time for Goodnight kiss." and kissed me again.

And then after talking for a minute or two, we went on our ways. On my way to hotel, there was only one thing in my mind and that was, 'How the hell am I going to cancel my plans with my three Best friends.'
