33. Perks of being in a relationship...

*****Ridhi's POV*****

It has been the 4th day since that happened. I am currently not in a position to think about what I'm doing. All I can say is that he came and swept me off of my feet. And now all I can think about is flying high holding his hands.

I can't concentrate on anything else apart from him. My overwhelming feelings for him is leaving no place for any other thoughts. I smile on my own. I laugh. I cry. And I can't explain the reasons to myself even.

The day before yesterday there was a seminar at the office. It was about the field study that we did. The 1.5 weeks long study is going to end tomorrow. Since these days I was able to see him everyday. And every time we crossed path I felt like bursting with emotions. Previously it was extreme sadness. Now it's extreme affection. Both make me restless.

It's 12.30 pm now. Me and Diya are heading towards the cafeteria to have our lunch. Diya is looking emerged in deep thoughts since the seminar day. I asked her and she just bypassed the question. May be something is bothering her but I won't force her to open up to me. She'll share by herself if she needs to do that.

We order two mixed platters. I like the food here. It's clean and hygienic. Diya is doing something in her phone. Suddenly a girl comes and greets her casually...

"Hey..."

Diya looks at her and I see her expression changing. It's full of concern now. She looks guarded. She doesn't acknowledge back. What's the matter?

"Do you remember me? We met that day at the pub. You were with Mr Kim and Jimin. Right?"

Diya suddenly leaves her chair and literally snaps back, "No, I was not. You're mistaken."

What is this?? Diya was with Jin and Jimin? At a pub? When did that happen? She didn't tell me anything about it.

"Haha, don't lie. I remember you very well. You were looking really angry that day. But thank god you left. You didn't witness the mess right after that." The girl says with a sarcastic tone.

Diya suddenly grabs her hand and says, "May we talk outside? I don't know what you are saying. My friend gets concerned over silly facts. Please clear your confusion."

"You must be Ridhi. I know you." The girl winks at me.

Well, now I'm concerned. How does she know me? I ask her, "Do you know me? Because I don't."

"I'm Atzy. Your friend knows me. Ask her."

I look at Diya with questions in my eyes.

"Ridhi, I'll explain later. Atzy or whatever... please come with me. We'll talk outside."

"I don't have anything to talk to you. I just realized a fact that you don't have the slightest manner to acknowledge a person that you've seen before. Why are you lying?"

"I am just telling you that if you need to say anything then let's talk outside. Don't involve her. She knows nothing about what happened."

"Diya, please tell me what's wrong. What happened? What are you hiding?" I ask Diya. I need to know what is she talking about.

Diya sighs. She lowers her head and then glares at Atzy.

"Okay, Don't get mad. But I'll tell everything. I just didn't want to concern you."

"Now you're making me concerned more than I was before. Tell me now."
