Enemies Became Friends Forever

9. Nothing Worked Out

Ayush and myself reached his home learning about each other. To my relief, Ashish was not there in the house so it's the best time for me to plan something.

Ayush introduced me to his mom, Ritu Verma and his dad Sanjay Verma. Ritu aunty spoke to me as if she knows me before. May be, she might have seen me in school.

Ayush and I planned to make Ashish sleep with an empty stomach. So, we both asked Ritu aunty and Sanjay uncle to have their dinner and sleep, and told them that we both will eat along with Ashish when he returns home. Soon aunty and uncle had dinner and went to their room. Then we both moved all the food into the refrigerator, then locked it and hid the key after Ayush ate. I opposed to eat, as I had to eat with my friends at Preeti's place.

Then Ayush said that he will accompany me to Preeti's house and I agreed to it. He went to his room saying that he will be back in 5 mins. I was roaming in the house, seeing the frames on the walls. Some of them were paintings by famous artists and some others were family pictures. While examining everything I opened a door.

It was a large room. There was a comfy master bed at the center of the room with night stands on either side of the bed and above it there was a large photo frame of Ashish's. Seeing it, I just rolled my eyes. So this is his room. I thought and went inside. There was a cream color guitar hung above the study table. A portable basketball hoop  opposite to his bed and a basketball on the floor.

"What are you doing here?" I got startled by the sudden voice and turned around. Ashish was standing at the door with a shocked expression holding another basketball. He wore basketball shorts and vest with sports shoe.

"Are you planning something against me?" He asked. I just gave a smug smile without answering anything.

"I'm coming from your home. Your mom said that you went to Preeti's house for girls night out. Then, what are you doing here?" He asked again. What? He went to my home, again?

"Dare to step into my house again, I'll cut your legs," I shouted at him in anger.

"Ohh really! I would like to see that," he said with an amused expression and started taking predator steps towards me throwing the basketball to the corner.

"Stay away, Idiot!" I shouted at him showing my hand to stop. He quickly came and twisted my hand to the back.

"Ahh...!! Leave!" I screamed trying to free my hand away from his hold.

"Apologise," he asked gritting his teeth.

"I won't," I replied slowly due to pain and he tightened his grip twisting it a little more. I hissed in pain.

"Say sorry," he asked this time with a little more anger.

"I said I won't," I replied gritting my teeth.

"Ashish? What are you doing? Leave her hand," Ayush rushed inside and released my hand from his grip.

"What is she doing here?" Ashish asked Ayush with rage.

"She came here for me," Ayush answered.

"For you?" Ashish said mockingly raising his eyebrows. "When did you both became friends? Definitely she might have come here to trouble me."

"Yes! I came here to trouble you. Idiot!" Saying that I ran away from there.

"Dare to say that again," Ashish shouted behind me.

I turned around and shouted, "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" Listening to my words he started running towards me but Ayush held him and asked me to run away. I ran away from there.
