You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter- 86 Somebody Else

That same evening, Rishi made his way to Ruhaan and Adi's room. He knew he had to make some small talk with Mitali's friends if he wanted to make things easier for Mitali.

He knocked on the door twice. A while later, Ruhaan opened the door. His eyes slightly widened with surprise.

Rishi: Uh.....can I come in?

Ruhaan: Yeah...sure.

He stepped aside to let Rishi in and closed the door behind him. Rishi glanced at Adi, who was standing near the window, his eyes gazing at the sight outside.

He cleared his throat which broke Adi's trance. Adi turned and looked at him questioningly.

Rishi: Since there is not much to do around here with all the preparations going on, I was wondering if you guys....wanted to..... go outside. I mean, I'm sure you guys have never been here before.....so I thought maybe we could.....go to a cafe or something. You know, just to hangout....for a bit.

Ruhaan glanced at Adi , terrified of what he would blurt out. But Adi's face remained calm as he said,

Adi: Yeah, sure, why not. We don't really have anything to do anyways.

Rishi was surprised. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He was almost convinced that Adi was going to pounce on him any moment.

Rishi: Okay....great! I'll tell Mitali. We can go out at around 7. What say?

Adi replied curtly,

Adi: Sure.

Rishi nodded and smiled at him.

Rishi: Great!  I'll see you guys then!

Saying that, he traced his way out of their room. Once he was gone, Ruhaan turned to Adi and asked,

Ruhaan: Why are you doing this, Adi?

Adi: Doing what? You asked me to be civil and I was being civil.

Ruhaan: Yeah....but you didn't have to agree to that. Why are you deliberately setting up yourself to get hurt?

Adi sighed and said,

Adi: Ru, I understand your concern. But the guy probably doesn't know about me and Mitali. That's why he's being so nice. Otherwise who would actually be inviting their fiance's ex boyfriend to hangout with them?

Ruhaan: And what? You want to tell him about you and Mitali?

Adi: Well he deserves to know the truth , doesn't he?

Ruhaan: Yes, but that's not your intention. You are doing this out of spite. Not concern.

Adi: What are you talking about Ruhaan?

Ruhaan: You know exactly what I'm talking about, Adi. You are doing this to ruin things between him and Mitali.

Adi: Well, what do you expect me to do?! Just sit here and watch them be all lovey dovey?

Ruhaan: No, Adi. I didn't mean that-

Adi: If I remember correctly, our main reason behind coming here was because we wanted to stop this engagement. Not go along with it.

Ruhaan: No , Adi. We're here to clear the misunderstandings between you and Mitali. That's our top priority for now.

Adi sighed softly.

Ruhaan: Adi, you should focus on how you're going to talk it out with Mitali. Not embarrass Mitali in front of Rishi.

Adi: I know...I know.... it's just.... I can't watch her like this. With someone else. It stinks everytime I see them together.
