5 Chapter -5 Are you crazy?

" What? Are you crazy Kiyansh?" My mouth opens incredeously. But my heart tumbles and does a somersault in my chest.

He looks at me seriously, " I have been thinking about it since a long time. Since a month."

" Excuse me" Anger takes over me. " I am not going to be someone's rebound. " He starts to move towards me. But I raise a hand to stop him. " Not now Kiyansh. I just can't. "

I say, tumbling confusion inside my mind, I turn and nearly run outside the party.

I sit across the swimming pool in his backyard. I remove the stilleto and throw it farm from me, folding my legs and sitting on the pool chair. I let it all out and cry. How I would have gone mad with happiness if we were kids and he had said this thing. But after being in relationship with her since four years. Never once looking at me like that while I was burning in confusion. Doing things so that they would stay with each other. It makes me feel like I wasn't anything. Nor I would be. I am just someone who is just an option. Not even his best friend.

I cry until my throat feels like it would scratch my mouth. Until I feel like I can't cry anymore. I pick up my phone from my side. 27 missed calls, 6 text messages.

Ignoring the calls I open the text messages.

1. I didn't mean it like that. You don't understand.

2. I am sorry.

3. Let me explain.

4. Can I come to you please?

5. Shanvi I.... Please give me a chance to explain.

6. Everyone's starting to look for you.

I don't reply back and just text my mom. 'Have to go, something urgent came up. Please tell Kiyansh's parents. '

I don't want to disturb Ashraf Kaka so I just pick up my stilettos on my hand and walk barefoot from my house. I see another text ping up on my phone.

Ayan Kapoor. - Hey cutie! Free today? I am in Delhi for a film. Wanna hang out?

Even though I know I would have never done that if it would be a normal day and if I wasn't feeling like I wanted to throw up. So I do the only thing which comes to my mind. I cut Kiyansh's incoming call and dial Ayan. He picks up on the second ring.

" Ouuuu hoo my lucky day. Someone was waiting for my text it seems," He whistles.

" You wish. Sending you the location come pick me up. Where you staying? "

" ITC Maurya."

" Good, will take 10 minutes . Be there in ten minutes. " I say and before he can say anything else I cut the call.

Kiyansh's name springs up again. I cut the call again. Another text springs up.

I gave you enough space you are not even listening to me. My heart starts to hammer against my chest. I know he is coming. And I don't wanna talk or see him right now. I check my right and left. And as if I am playing hide and seek I tiptoe from the backyard towards the parking lot of his family home.

To not take risk I wear my stilettos cursing myself to wear it and stroll away from his house. When I feel I am safe distance, I check my phone again, five minutes. " Come soon Ayan"

Just as I am counting minutes an Audi R8

reves around me. My eyes widen, how the hell did he find me. My inner self scoffs as if you could ever win hide and seek with him. But this is not a game.

The glass rolls down and he looks almost as if he is mocking me. " Found you. Get in the car. "

" No. " I say stomping my foot on the ground. " I am not going anywhere with you. Leave me alone. "

He opens the car gate and comes out. " Atleast let me drive you home. " He says and takes my arm.

Just as I open my mouth to tell him someone else is coming to pick me up. A Black sedan curb around the corner.

The window rolls down and Ayan whistles with a wink " Well Well, if someone was not waiting for me. " His sauve face is smiling at me.

" Who the hell is he? " Kiyansh spits with rock in his voice. His grip tightening on my arms.

Before I can say anything, Ayan opens his car door and moves out. His long legs moving towards us with a charming smile on his face. " You didn't tell me we had company, Ayan. " He says extending his hands towards Kiyansh looking at him with curious eyes.

Kiyansh looks at him and sneers ignoring his hand. " You are coming home with me. " He says ignoring the fact that someone else was standing beside us.

You can't order me around, I wanted to say. But I didn't say so. I didn't want to create a scene.

So I just say, " No."

He looks at me as if I have grown horns on my head. His eyes burning with rage. But he is not the only one who can be angry.

So I ignore his eyes and my heart to stand there and go with him and get hurt all over again. I take my arms away fro his grip and move towards the Sedan. Sitting on the passenger seat. I try not to look out. But I see Kiyansh standing there for a minute. And then opening his car door and roaring away. Suddenly I get the urge to call him back. But I bite back my emotions.

" Trouble in Paradise? I didn't know I was going to meet The Kiyansh Singhania like this. " I didn't answer him for long

I ignore his question and say " just drop me home. "

" Oh no no. You don't know how much effort it took convincing my security team to let me go alone. I am not letting go of this chance to have coffee with you. I have been trying for three months. "

I glare at him.

He gives me a perfect pink smile. His dark black hair and deep black eyes accentuate his all over strong and handsome personality. His deferential persona makes girls swoon over him. That is the reason he is a perfect bollywood icon.

But to be honest he is not as beautiful as Kiyansh. Kiyansh's brown eyes give you a sandy sunshine kind of feeling. Yet the gleaming in his eyes makes you feel as if you are looking at a well filled with water. Kiyansh is a walking tableau..

Stop thinking about him.

So I turn my head and look out at the passing trees. I like trees...

" By the way you look beautiful in that blue dress. "

" Thank you. " I quip still looking outside.

" Hey I wanna have cold coffee. Tell me about a good place. "

" K Block. Cp. " I say before I can stop myself. Shit. Shit. Kiyansh would hate it if he would know that I am taking Ayan to our place. But he took Sahana...

I felt wrong when Ayan turned near k block. I suddenly wanted to say to him to turn the car in another direction.

" We are in K Block. "

" You wait here. " I say telling him to not come out of his car. It will be a chaos. I saunter toward the small Bistro. Ordering two Cold Irish Coffee. I get my order in five minutes.

He opens the car door for me. " I am sorry I couldn't even buy coffee for you. "

I looked at his eyes and saw the sadness in it.

" Perks and cons of being a superstar. " I joke to improve his mood. Sometimes people don't understand that superstars are also humans. They also want to do casual thing.

" But hey! The woman I have been chasing for three months bought me this coffee. So..." He says and takes a sip, he closes his eyes and groans. " Oh my god. I never had coffee like this. Damn Shanvi. This is the one of the best cold coffee I ever had. "

" I know " I smile at him . That is why it's our favourite place. The place is so small and cozy. It's under a tree. With a single booth and two working employees. But the coffee tastes better than any coffee I ever had.

" But hey! Don't tell anyone else about this place. I don't want famous celebrities coming here and taking my place from me. " I want to say from me and kiyansh. But I don't.

So we sit in silence and enjoy our coffee. And my mind wanders to Kiyansh. He must be so angry. And what would have been like if he would have been having this coffee with me.

How could he just say, ' Marry Me.' I want to believe that he said out of love. But my heart knows that he just regards me as his best friend.

" Will you drop me home I am tired?" I ask Ahan.

And he smiles like gentleman. As if he doesn't know why I called him today. But I know he knows. And I know he is a good person. So I decide to have lunch with him on the coming Saturday.

" See you do like me. Was trying to tell you since three months. " He winks and like a gentleman drops me home. Without uttering anymore words and giving me space.

That's how I end up in my apartment. Thinking about what just happened.
