Chapter 6

25th December, 2013
Time: 12:16am
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra

The sandal heels were practically killing her legs as she walked the last needed steps towards her car. She turned one last time, before getting inside the car, and waved towards her friend Karan Johar. "Meet me super soon. We need to discuss a lot." He shouted, waving his hand in her direction. She nodded enthusiastically before getting inside her car and immediately taking off those horrible heels that she had started to abhor some moments ago. She let go a sigh of relief she didn't know she was holding and checked the time on her phone. It read 12:16am and she wondered if he was still awake.

Anushka would be lying if she'd said that she didn't have a good time at Karan Johar's pre-Christmas party; although initially, she was pretty sure she'd go through a hard time attending the party, let alone covering it till midnight. However, the company of old good friends and the all around vibe (plus the amazingly delicious food) kept her at peace and she enjoyed herself. She let out a chuckle, remembering Ranveer's silly and irrelevant jokes to make the people around him like him more. Anushka was glad that things were so normal with him and her; they didn't even feel like they were together once for a short period of time because they both were so comfortable around each other. She opened her lock and checked Ranveer had tagged her in a photo on Instagram. As she went through the post she couldn't help but laugh at the caption- superwoman, yeah he got that right!

As Anushka's destination approached, she couldn't help but think about how, despite of her being surrounded by so many people and her being busy with her work, he continued to be a persistent member on her mind. She missed him terribly and she couldn't wait to see him. So, as her car stopped before his apartment, she literally jumped from her seat and made her way towards the building. Anushka knew how tremendously difficult it has been, for both of them, to manage their relationship but despite of everything, he was always on her mind and she knew she had to see him once. As she rang his doorbell, she noticed how her heart was beating fast and wondered if this would remain forever.

Chill, Anushka. Chill. She thought to herself as he opened the door to his apartment.

Virat was in his boxer shorts and his blue jersey when he saw Anushka standing by the door. "I missed you." Anushka mumbled and threw her arms around his neck, embracing Virat in a bone crushing hug. "I missed you so much." She mumbled into his neck as she tightened her hold. However, the lack of his arms around her made her conscious and she drew back, looking at him. He stepped back a little before closing the door and walking towards his living room. Anushka stood dumbfounded. What was the matter with him?

"Virat?" Anushka called out, following him to the room and watching him stand by the huge window. He was looking at the night sky and it was only when Anushka stood beside him did she notice his clenched jaws and his flared nostrils. He was beyond mad and she didn't know the reason.

"Baby, what's wrong? Sab thik hai na?" She asked, touching his arms.

He turned to look at her and goodness if looks could literally kill, Anushka wouldn't have been alive now. "Sab thik? Are you actually fucking asking me that?" He said, his voice becoming louder.

"Why are you shouting? What's wrong?" Anushka asked, stepping back as Virat turned around and ran a hand through his hair.

"What's wrong?" Virat replied, mocking her question. "Why don't you fucking ask this to that ex of yours jiske sath photo khich te waqt tumhe sharam nahi aayi."

Anushka was shocked and her jaw literally dropped to the floor. "Is this about Ranveer? Isiliye you're behaving this way? Virat, I told you he's a good friend of mine and whatever happened between us is in the past."
