When I walk back I only can think of what Harish was saying.
How did he see Kritika and Siddarth? Why is he threatening them? If he was angry at me, take it out on me, not them.When I walk inside Kritika is shocked to see me, prolly since work didn't finish this early usually.
"Why are you here? Why do you look so flustered?" She gasps"Need to talk about something" I stammer
"What? So much that now you came from work?" She sighs
"Yes I need to this honestly has been stressing me" I sigh
"Sit down? Want coffee? Sweets? What?" Kritika asks looking concerned
"Just some lemonade please, sit down after, need to talk to you" I say
"About?" She asks squeezing the lemon
"Um how was the date last night?" I ask
"Oh about that? Hehehe I think everything was fine" Kritika says
"Sure" I sigh knowing she is lying
Kritika is like my mum, never tells me the truth. She is always trying to not get any one stressed yet for this situation I think Kritika might be the one who needs to be honest for her own good.
"What why did Siddharth tell you?" Kritika stammers handing me the lemonade
"Tell me what?" I say looking at her
"Oh I'm so stupid. I wish that never happened" Kritika says almost crying
"Krits don't cry, tell me what happened?" I say
"Siddharth and I-, we-" She stammers
"Had sexual!" I say in shock
"Noooo Drishti I would never" Kritika says
That's realistic, Kritika isn't like me, she is the sweeter half
"Then?" I ask
"This guy... he was threatening Siddharth, and he" she cries
"He?" I wait for him to answer
"He was threatening Siddharth, like that he would tell everyone about our relationship, he was yelling and I was so frightened"Kritika sobs
"Wait is this guy tall, indian, kinda fair?" I ask trying to find out if this was Harish
"he was handsome, so handsome but..." Kritika laughs
"Hey that's my girl" I say
"Look Siddharth assures nothing would occur from this, that he would sort this out but I'm not sure if he would you know- leave me" Kritika sighs
"Siddharth would not leave you, he loves you remember" I state
"You think?" Kritika says
"Yes" I say holding her hand
Though deeply I wanted this to be true, a part of me wasn't sure. Siddharth has been through so much shit, and I know that controversy like this might ruin his image, what if he left Kritika? That would hurt her especially after the whole Varun mess.
"Is this why you came early today? She asks
"Yes" I say honestly
"What did Siddharth say?"She questions
"Hey I don't want to lie to you, a fig he broke our between Harish and Siddharth, that's when this whole topic was revealed" I sigh
"What your whole team knows? This is so shameful" Kritika cries
"Hey don't cry again, nothing is shameful about this. You love him right? He loves you. That is all the should matter, not this shit about what others may think. And I want you to know that what ever happens I will always support you in this relationship" I say truthfully
"Really? You don't care that he is your boss, and what if they mock you saying your sisters with your boss?" She stammers
"They don't know that" I say
"Good keep it that way. Drishti I don't want them mocking you" she sighs
"Girl you think that I care if they do? Your my sister, I would never be ashamed of you" I say
"Thanks" she says
"Okay" I say carassing
"But Drishti, I do like keeping this under wraps, because that guy... he kept mentioning your name and was angry because of work drama, why bring this into your work life. If Siddharth knew that we were sisters, I know he would be much more serious about these threats and stuff, and honestly I don't want bigger issues, all I want is this Harish to forget about this. Let Siddharth deal with this." Kritika sighs
Kritika was always like this. She had this ideology of not making issues or dealing with problems.
Typical Of her indian ass.
Not that what she was saying was a bad idea.
Because I knew too that if Harish knew that I was Kritikas sister, I know he would make life more miserable for her and Siddharth.
She was telling to keep this a secret for my work, but keeping this a secret will be the best option for her and Siddharth too. I didn't want Harish to cause issues with their love."Now that's sorted, can we do anything fun, like paint our nails or some shit, after all I'm free this whole day" I laugh
"Of course" she squeals
Now I felt like we were teenagers again. Like the good ol days without this boy problems and workplace fights.But I knew that Siddharth would deal with this. He wasn't the kind of guy to let his girl get threatened like that.
