*Prathap Pov*
I frowned reaching her place while hoping the matter is nothing serious. Where is Uncle? Did he already go to the party?
I rushed towards the door and rang the bell. She immediately opened the door and her tear-stained face appeared.
"Prathap!" she mumbled and didn't stop crying in the meantime.
"What happened?" I asked stepping forward and held her hands.
"Do you know what he did?" she asked closing her eyes.
"Who?" I asked worriedly while hoping it is not something bad.
"Vikranth... he... I hate him." The moment she said those words my worry just left me and anger replaced it.
"Are you serious? You just called me while crying and made me rush here just because of Vikranth? How many times will it be? Didn't you say you moved on?" I shouted at her and her eyes widened.
I felt guilty immediately for shouting at her but this time she crossed it. She doesn't know how worried I was thinking something worst happened.
I even went ahead thinking it could be about her Mom. But here she is as usual sad because of Vikranth.
"Prathap!" she whispered and I released her hands.
"You don't know what I just did to come here, Shrishti. Is it right to worry people like this?" I asked and she shook her head.
"This is not about my feelings for Vikranth at all. It is completely about Vikranth and his actions." She rushed the words and I frowned hearing that.
"Did he hurt you?" I asked the absurd question and she looked down.
"He hurt so many people." She whispered and this is confusing me even more.
"Go and wash your face. We will talk about this calmly. I will prepare some coffee for you." Saying that I pushed her towards her room and walked towards the kitchen but called Anitha first.
I can't believe I left her there just for some small matter whatever it is. I thought she would do something stupid if I don't rush and just came over or maybe even having a panic attack.
"Did you reach the venue?" I asked the moment she picked the phone.
"I..." I waited for her to reply but a voice reached me before that.
"I heard that you like me, Prathap. Why don't we become a couple?" Shrishti suddenly asked angrily and I felt shocked hearing that.
"What?" I asked turning around but my phone slipped from my hands because of the abrupt turn.
"Is your phone okay?" she asked as the moment she entered the kitchen, the phone was already on the floor.
"You are talking about my phone?" I asked frowning but picked it up and she took a deep breath.
"So from you expression, you really like me or liked me? I am sure you like Ms. Anny now. So, I should be using liked, right?" she asked and I frowned hearing that.
"Or you are acting with Ms. Anny just like... like Vikranth?" she asked with a serious look.
"Wait! With whom Vikranth is acting?" I asked feeling my head is going to burst because of her words.
"And what's with asking to be a couple?" I added and she shook her head before holding it.
"I don't know what I am saying too. I am angry... I am angry at everything after I read those words. I am angry at Vikranth, You, and me. I feel bad for Kanika and if you are acting with Ms. Anny then I am going to feel bad for her too." She continued to blabber while I just stood there.
