Lurking in the Light of Love (KKB)

Chapter 2- Games played by Fate

A/N : My b'day special more chapters to come!!

After getting forms for Bulbul we reached our hostel and I was a bit broken by speaking to him in that way. I really wanted to admire him all time, every second I get to do it. But, will fate, let me do it? Fate has a way of playing its own games in its own way. We met yet again, this time I was in no mood to fight with him. I dint even get to speak to him.

I was walking on a road near a church speaking to Bulbul. She kind of accompanies me everywhere I go. Very nosy yet I like it, I need someone with me all the time. This one behaves just like my little sister. I saw a fast car approaching Bittu. I ran towards him, ignoring the incoming vehicle to save him. I saved him, but I was such a stupid that I hugged him in the middle of the road instead of moving away from the car along with Bittu. I thought this will be my end so I pushed Bittu away and stood there with my eyes closed. I heard Bulbul calling me but before the car could reach me, Someone stood between me and that car and said, "Yo bro could you just get down from your car??" To everyone's surprise a girl wearing a little black dress got down from the car and wore sunglasses and asked, " Who are you to stop me?" after noticing that guy, the girl suddenly became all lovely, Dovey saying, " I am sorry I dint mean to..." He said, " Enough of your drama baby doll say sorry to her and that kid". She walked towards me and said, " Why should I say sorry to that orphan? No way" saying this she turned away. Now somebody lost their patience and slapped her hard across her face and said, " Say sorry now!" That girl became very shaky and finally apologized to me. (Yes, it was him who slapped her).

That girl turned towards the car and left in a hurry while going she was murmuring, " Pragya because of you he slapped me, I will show you what Tanushri can do to you" (smirking).

I was sad, shocked seeing him, But my sadness overtook other emotions and tears traced my cheeks, I just let them find their way down to my chin. I never wanted to cry, I have decided not to cry after that incident. I just can't bottle up my emotions forever and ever. I let my emotions flow through my eyes in the form of tears I dint mind to wipe it off. He came near me and asked, " Are you ok sweetheart?" I heard him ask me something, but I wasn't able to realize anything now. Bittu came near me, held my chin and said, "Don't cry sister, I will take care of her, when I grow up." Now, since I came back to my sense I realized what he said. I was boiling with anger and asked, " What you just said? Sweetheart? Really? I hate that don't call me so ever." He said, " Hey, I just wanted to make you feel comfortable, cool down and I am sorry if I have said something that hurt you in anyway." Bulbul came and said, " Thank you so much for saving her, sometimes she is very emotional and the other times violent." He said, " Its ok I completely understand."

I just wanted him to hug me and say, 'Hey, it's ok, everything will be fine.' I know he wouldn't do that now. He is thinking I am angry because he called me sweetheart, but the truth is I don't want anyone else to call me the same way someone else used to call me. I don't want those memories to resurface, I want to forget them. I want him to be in my thoughts not anyone else. I was also angry for calling that.. that.. 'Witch' yeah perfect name for calling her as 'Baby Doll'. Oh, come on, I am again lost in him. I felt Bulbul walking with me and I felt someone else was following us. I turned back to find no one but I am sure he must be the one who followed me. I was smiling like an idiot thinking about him following me. Bulbul shook me off from my thoughts, I really hate to say I love this girl so much, but at times she disturbs my most beautiful dreams. Yes, Being with him will be just a dream for it won't be a reality, I will never let it turn into a reality.

Now I notice that she is jumping with excitement! Oh, My God, What has gotten into this girl now? I asked, "Bulbul, why are you excited now?" She replied, "Di, Just think of it. How it would be if you both fall in love?" I replied, "First, stop calling me di, I am just one and a half year elder to you. And speaking of that handsome hunk, No way!" She said, "Di, you said Handsome hunk!" I said, "Yes, Of course he looks handsome and that doesn't mean I have to fall in love with him ok? And stop calling me di! *I will kill you Bulbul look* She turned to the other direction and murmured something like, 'Oh! My goodness! My di is an 'Angry Queen', but I think he will be the right person for her.' I thought, 'Even Bulbul thinks he would be a perfect match for me.'
