ISHQ PE HOGA YAKEEN ISHQ HOJANE KE BAAD - Short Story

Chapter 7

I peeled my eyes open and stiffened when I felt someoneʼs arm tighten around my waist from behind, causing a shiver down my spine. Oh, god no.

Taking a deep breath, I turned my head and glanced at Omkara , who was still closing his eyes, fast asleep with one of his arms wrapped around my waist.

I slowly removed his arm and sat up on the bed before tossing the sheets off my lap and quickly getting out of the bed, brushing away my messy hair.

"Did anything happen last night?" I pondered, picking up my cardigan and tiptoeing out of the room, praying he wouldnʼt wake up anytime soon.

As soon as I opened the door, my face came to contact with someoneʼs chest and I looked up to face Shivaay , whose eyes widened in complete and utter shock as I gently closed the door behind us.

"Morning." I mumbled, walking past him and stopped when he appeared in front of me, confusion written all over his face as he scanned me from head to toe.

"Di-did you sleep with Omkara last night?" he asked, baffled and I simply nodded, not really wanting to explain the situation.

"I have to go bath." I said shortly, brushing past him and walking towards my room, my pulse racing upon hearing the heavy footsteps behind me.

"Did anything happen last night?" Shivaay questioned, easily catching up to my fast pace and I narrowed my eyes at him before stopping near my room.

"As-as in with you and Om ..." he added with a stammer and I stared at him in confusion before sighing.

"Why do you act like you care Shivaay ...?" I murmured, turning around and was about to open the door when two cold hands grabbed my shoulders before turning me around to meet his piercing blue eyes.

"I do care." He said, emphasizing each word and I frowned at him before going silent at his lie.

"Why?" I asked, fixating my gaze on his and I watched his body tense up at my question.

"Why do you care Shivaay ?" I asked again and he gave me another look before going silent. What was up with him? Donʼt tell me he actually had feelings for me?

"Shivaay , I donʼt want you to misunderstand..." I started, opening the door slightly and he raised a brow at me in confusion.

"I donʼt see you that way, so I donʼt want you to either..." I trailed off, slightly blushing at my words. It sounded so much better in my head.

"Excuse me?" his eyebrows shot up before his eyes widened in realization and I watched him take a step forward, decreasing the space between us.

"Wait, you think I like you or something?" he asked, his expressions suddenly turning appalled and I frowned slightly, a soft shade of pink creeping up my cheeks.

Please tell me he did, because it would be so damn embarrassing if he didnʼt.

"Any-anyways," I quickly opened the door and was about to close the door on his face when he stepped inside, a grin spreading on his face.

"Iʼm just saying..." I choked out, taking a few steps back and turning away.

"Really? So you donʼt even want to clear the misunderstanding thatʼs been going on in your little head?" his voice sounded amused and my eyes widened before I went silent.

"I need to bath, please get out." I raised my voice, turning around and pushing him towards the door.

The grin on his face didnʼt fade away until I gave him one last push, sending him out and closed the door, quickly locking it.
