[5]

Aarush spat the very cold drink, he was gulping when Sakshi crossed them angrily. Her eyes stern and jaws clenched, her hands fisted while she asked Aditi about the car keys.

"What's the problem? The moustache?"

Sakshi wanted to kill Aarush for that comment. She ignored him and raised her eyebrows at Aditi who was looking at her keenly.

"How was it? What made you angry? Did you fight with him on your first dat-"

Sakshi kicked the tire of the car and groaned loudly. Gritting her teeth, she told them everything. While Aditi was having a hard time understanding what just happened, Aarush couldn't control the laughter that erupted from him.

Another gulp lead to another spat. Sakshi slapped his arm as some spray came on her too. "Gross fucker," she muttered while Aditi herself laughed hard.

"Oh my God. So, you are pissed that he didn't come by himself."

Aarush chuckled while holding his stomach. "I am so impressed. Her tai ji played her. Mihir played her. This guy played her. Bless you, Sakshi."

Sakshi's eyes twisted in anger. She stared far at the parked cars and thought of Mihir's words. "Such a loser, that cousin of your dumbass senior. I don't get it what has been stuck up his ass. Why couldn't he come to see me? Wasn't good enough, maybe. You know what, I am so going teach this fucker a lesson-"

"Really? You can just call your tai ji and reject him," suggested Aditi in confusion.

Aarush shook his head. "She secretly liked this and curious to know how he looks. The man who blew her in his absence would burn her with his appearance. I am so intrigued with this. Set another date, Sakshi."

Aditi snickered while Sakshi turned around from them, crossing her arms over chest and grunting loudly. "I will have that loser on my foot, I am telling you. This is so going to be costly for him."

If only she got to meet this guy, things would have been different. She would have been distracted from other things. Things like ex-boyfriends, fake boyfriends and accused rapists. But how could she just forget it when the universe would keep revolving him and his elements around her.

She didn't have the answer to her thoughts and just kept staring at the couple that was walking out from a car. Rishabh Malhotra with some girl?

By his face, he didn't look happy nor sad. There were blank expressions on his face just like she had always caught him. All those days replayed in mind. He was the one because of whom she was able to get Shrey in her life. But should she thank him? After all, he was the one who told him to play with her.

Play

This was what happening all along. This world was playing her. The God was playing her. After all, she was just a play thing for everyone.

"I will kill him," she muttered while feeling her face warming up.

Aarush walked around the car and stared at her face with a fresh laughter erupting from him. "You are red, Sakshi. Aww, little Sakshi got played. Do you feel bad, baby?"

She didn't know what just happened to her. Was she red with anger or self-pity? She didn't know. Her eyes left Rishabh with a sigh and she shook her head tiredly.

Aarush pouted while hugging her. "Don't be sad, Sakshi. You know, if no one is there. I will be ready to forget Miss Khanna and be with you. You can always count on me as your back up plan."

Sakshi couldn't control the sweet smile that curved her lips while Aditi chuckled behind them, getting in the car to start it.

Aarush rubbed her back while giving a light kiss on her forehead. "Hey, you okay?"
