Sorting The Insecurities

P.S.= Guys I am really sorry, but for this story, I will be referring to Ishana and Saumya as Om and Rudra's partner respectively. I still now crave for IshKara and Rumya scenes personally. So please bear with me on this.

Insecurities are the worst pest for a relationship. Once, Insecurities makes it place in a relationship, if not treated well with care, this can end up ruining it all for others. This insecurities are not just based on trust but at times, it might be caused by inferiority complex. And yes, anyone can feel inferior in a relation. And this is where they need to be handled with warmth and care. Need to be taught that they are not inferior, or everything they are feeling are mere illusion.

As said earlier, this can happen to anyone. Anytime. And can be influenced by smallest of the thing.

It is just another day during dinner at Oberoi Mansion, where Shivika were just back from the special screening of Hrithik's "War".

When all were called for the dinner, Rudra, Saumya and Ishana were the first one to join the table. Ishana, who had been a dancer earlier could not just stop gushing over how great of a dancer HR is. And Saumya, who had otherwise no interest in Bollywood, were quite keen on this, due to the amazing action sequences. And as anyone can imagine, the dumbell Oberoi was the one who was literally over the moon, obviously as his Annika bhabi was a huge fan of HR and he is going to get a lot of detailed information from her. His fanboying hormones were doing somersaults by the time Shivika arrived at the table.

As soon as they were seated on the table, Rudra, Ishana and Saumya started hurling questions regarding the movie on them. Shivaay, who was already quite irritated with Annika's non-stop praises on Hrithik, was just praying to get the dinner over so that he could finally get rid of the rants. But once here, he got the picture clear. The torture is no where near end, but it will just get increased. MORE.

And to his utter discomfort it got started in moment.

But then, as the moments kept on passing his discomfort kept turning into shock, dismay, disappointment and hurt. Those gushes, and those long exhales Annika left while describing Hrithik and then how she blushed when ever a mention of his 'hotness' came into the picture.

Till date he knew his wife loves Hrithik. To an extent that the first gift she asked from was a sports kit from HRX, Hrithik's brand. Though then a delighted Shivaay brought it all in no minute as the kit she asked for included sexy sport tops and tracks. And she would exercise near the pool side that's too early morning to keep herself fit as per HR's suggestions he had never mind it. Cause although she was cute with the chubby chicks and yet sexy but with all the exercises she has turned even hotter. Not to mention, her exercising Billi was a treat to his cheapde mind.

But now that she was gushing on him, it pinched Shivaay's heart. Somewhere. No, it was not that he doubted her love but still somewhere he was hurt. The otherwise shy Annika who still blushes during their special moments, was gushing on Hrithik's shirtless scenes. And that was actually new to him. But what caught him off guard was her cheeks turning pink during all of it. Wasn't he the only man who could make her blush this way? And will enjoy her crimson cheeks.

He could feel his cheeks heating up and his chest paining. As if something got stuck in there. He just looked at Annika with longing. And then the next thing happened. His comparison with Hrithik. How he had eyes that was quite similar to Hrithik and even at times he looks like him from the side. Though it was started by Om but then it was proceeded by Rudra when he announced, may what happened he can never match him with physique or his dance.

And that is where it went difficult. No, it was not that he was a complete narcissist. The narcissism he had was finely wiped out after Annika happened. But still, being compared with someone where his short comings were highlighted, or where he was inferior from others was not something that did not went really well with him.
