Hello Forumwasis! Here is a short OS on an interaction between Ansh and his other half. Hope you all enjoy it.
Cheers!

He was angry.
Chuck that; he was furious.
His eyes fixated on that sleazy slimy lizard trying to catch attention of his Pia and God knows why, he felt extremely frustrated at it.
Anger gnawed at him, and as his fury grew, his recent unwanted companion made an appearance.
'We can throw him from the balcony.'
Ansh winced. How he prayed that he could wish that presence into oblivion.
'You can't,' the voice gleefully said. 'I am a part of you.'
"Well, I don't want you. So leave!" Ansh angrily muttered.
'Nah! You are way too interesting to leave. Then again it has been so long since I could finally talk to you. You have no idea how frustrating it is to be shut inside a mediocre consciousness such as yours. Uff!'
"Well disappear again please. I didn't ask for you. What did I even do to deserve you!"
'You were born,' the voice smirked back.
A sudden jingling broke their conversation. Pia was tugged into dancing with that foppish idiot. Immediately Ansh felt something inside him shift and the voice returned back.
'How about throwing him?' It proposed.
"No," Ansh muttered back, gritting his teeth.
'Ah come on...you want it too. I can feel it,' it cajoled. Come on; one push and he goes PHUIII!'
"Stop trying to provoke me. You always make things worse. And we cannot hurt Naman. Maa won't like it."
'One might mind it but the other one won't. She would probably enjoy it,' the voice commented.
Ansh felt confused. "What do you mean by that?"
'Nothing much. Anyway you will understand when the time is right,' retorted the voice immediately closing off.
Ansh sighed. If having a voice in his head wasn't enough; it attempting secretive endeavours was sure to get him admitted in a permanent ward for a few years.
'Hey! We are not insane. Stop doubting yourself,' the voice shrieked.
"And you stop giving me a headache," Ansh snarled, as a throbbing headache made its appearance.
The loud beats of the drums and the constant humming of the people around made him feel extremely suffocated. Everywhere he looked, there were people in bright clothes, shimmering and hurting his eyes. The noise pierced his ears and he felt like throttling someone, preferably that squeamish rat who was trying to touch his Pia.
'Now you get it. How hard it is to understand? She is ours.'
"What is this 'Ours'? She is a friend of mine. And you stay away from her?"
'Friend!' the voice repeated horrified. 'You are still stuck on that. Here I am trying my best to convince her to be ours and you are stuck in being friends. Idiot human half...you annoy me.'
Ansh closed his eyes and a feeling of anguish sheared through him. "Don't talk of things that are not possible. I am married to Ruby."
'Hmph! Don't you dare mention her. I feel nauseous whenever she is near me. How on the earth did you end up with her as your girlfriend? Are some of your screws loose?'
Ansh blatantly ignored it.
'Fine. Forget Ruby. Answer me this. Why are you trying to stop Pia's marriage with that stupid pretentious little buffoon?'
"Because Pia deserves better. I need to stop her marriage with that murderer. And I will find a good person later to get her married with."
'Wow...how altruistic! Heroic and self sacrificing. Sob! Sob! Tears are just rolling down my eyes. Ah...to meet someone so good. It aches my heart.'
Ansh raised an eyebrow. "You have a heart? And on that matter, where are your eyes for those tears to drip down? Here I thought you were hitching a ride in my body?"
The sound of Pia's earrings jarred them both back to present.
Naman was crowding around her, his hands grasping her tightly. The voice inside him fumed and this time, so did he.
'Let me handle him'.
"No," Ansh swallowed as he tried his best to subdue the sudden raging fire inside him. "You always mess things up and then disappear leaving me to handle the backlash. Pia already hates us because of you."
'Not hate...she just misunderstood us. Nothing irredeemable. But first we need to throw the cockroach and then that Ruby. After that Pia is ours.'
"You are impossible. Just leave me in peace. And go away."
'Nope...never...NADA. If I go away, you will probably see our Pia off with another and happily bearing his kids. If I leave it on you, we are never getting her. So thank you for your offer, but no thanks. I will stick around.'
"I don't think you understand. I have no idea what you are but you need to understand that there is something called society. I cannot show a right on Pia. She is engaged and I am married. So, please understand this. Don't make it complicated, it is already hard enough to stay away from her. If not for me, at least for her. She doesn't need any further drama in her life right now."
'What do you think I am? A teenager? Of course I won't cause her trouble. I will delete the unwanted in such a way that nothing happens to her.'
Ansh shook his head and braced himself against a pillar. "Listen-"
'No, you listen. I have an idea.'
"Oh no," Ansh muttered.
And as it happened every time, things went south and an hour later Pia was yelling at him.
Ansh sighed miserably. 'I hate you,' he thought loudly.
The voice quivered. 'She is beautiful when she is angry, isn't she?'
He rolled his eyes and face palmed. 'Shut up!'
