A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 2

*Prathap Pov*

"Where did you got that thought from?" Vikranth asked looking at me while I still stared at them in shock even though they recovered from it.

"He must have gone mad. Let's sit first before discussing the matter." Shrishti mumbled while gesturing them but they continued to stand there.

"They both have been meeting every day and that too at his cabin alone. He is even paying penalty for her so that she can join his entertainment company. Don't you think they are interested in each other?" I asked looking at Shrishti and she frowned hearing those words.

"They both will become a couple eventually for sure." I assured her and her expression turned into a doubtful look.

"Did you forget the agent I chose for her to be in the same cabin along with my assistant? And is it wrong to invest in someone who has potential? Do you know how your words are sounding right now? You are disrespecting both of us here." He shouted and I turned to glance at him hearing that tone.

I stared at both of them before realizing what I just uttered as I was too focused on making sure Shrishti gives up to propose him.

"Let's meet for the appointment that we fixed in the first place for agreement signing." That girl Anitha commented before leaving the room without giving a second glance towards the table.

Vikranth stared at me for a few seconds before glancing at Shrishti who composed herself and asked him to continue to join us.

"I will be going. I am not in the mood for this." Saying that he walked off but not before staring at me for a few seconds with a blank look.

"What have you done, Prathap? I need to wait for a month before following my plan." She mumbled groaning while drinking the full glass of water.

"What?" I asked hoping she will not reveal that he is the one she has a crush on because then I can't do anything openly like today.

"I like him, Prathap. I wanted to confess my feelings for him after lunch but because of your actions, he left without even having lunch. He will be going to leave the country for business-related matters. Now, I have to wait for one whole month." She mumbled sighing before glancing at me.

"But with the way you just talked, it seems there is a high chance for him to be with someone soon. I need to hurry before that happens." She suddenly said before holding my hand.

"You have to help me when he returns. I need to plan properly next time." She added smiling at me while I just stared at her feeling hurt and also angry at myself.

What if I wasn't this haste to show her that he has someone in his life, then all this wouldn't have happened, right? Or maybe it would have because of the bad luck that is roaming around me right now.

Now, he is angry at me and she wants me to help her with this thing too. I need to apologize to him first as he looked disappointed in me after listening to my words.

Just because she likes him doesn't mean I don't like him for sure. I respect him and want to be his friend for as long as I can but I am just selfish regarding my feelings otherwise I would have forgotten my feelings for her long back.

They both are important and that's why I am hung up like this. But then he doesn't like her back and that's what pushing me forward with my feelings. If they like each other then I would have long back up as I will be just a stupid person then.
