Everlasting love

~part 24~

"Hey - Naina" a familiar voice sounded from behind me.

"Oh... Akshara!"

"I've been trying to call you so many times."

"Yeah sorry yaar, I was so busy."

"No worries, by the way - what ya doing here?" She asked me.

"Oh, I was just visiting my....... my friend."

"Oh cool, I'm visiting my boyfriend aha." Her fingers entwined with her thick bushy locks.

I smiled faintly and waited.

Then I saw the familiar figure coming into sight.

"There he is!" I checked if anyone was with him.

Good.

"Hey, that's Bunny........." Akshara said.

"Yeah, he's my.." I began.

Bunny came and hugged Akshara.

What the heck?

"Bunny......." I tapped him on the shoulder.

"Oh!" He jumped when he saw my angry face.
"Naina........ what on earth are you doing here?"

"Oh really, you're asking me that?!!!" I stormed at him.

"Naina what's wr........." Akshara comforted me.

"And don't you dare talk to me, betrayer." I shrugged her hand off and she gasped.

"So this is your boyfriend huh? Oh really......."

"Naina please babes just........"

"I don't want to hear a thing. First you go on ignoring me and then you go buy yourself some other girl???" I heard my voice go all shaky and unstable, like before you cry.

Geez, that lump in my throat really did make the drama lit.

"I don't get what you're saying!"

"What's up?!"

"AKSHARA PLEASE LEAVE ME AND MY FIANCÉ ALONE."

Silence.

The silence seemed deafening, except for the occasional stream of air that seeped through the circle of our small trio,

Just when I realized a crowd of people were watching us.

"Fiancé!??? Since when?" Bunny's mouth gaped ajar.

I noticed something red in Bunny's clasped fingers.

"Ahhhh, flowers I see - oh roses! Should have guessed. I'm sorry honey but roses have gone a bit ancient now, might wanna get your girl something more exciting."

Bunny looked at me in confusion. Akshara almost seemed too stunned by all this drama that she became slightly teary eyed.

Why was my blood pressure rising so much? I mean - what I have I got anything to do with him and his damn life?

Still, I do okay.

"Naina, I'm not your fiancé."
