Chapter 8
Kalpana woke up the next day with a heavy heart. The memories from yesterday were still running through her mind. She had fallen asleep thinking about Raghav and he was the first thought that had come to her mind when she had gotten up. It was driving her insane. Why was she even thinking so much about a guy who she had met merely a week ago? And after his behaviour yesterday, he should be the last thing on her mind. Then why was Raghav the only thing she could think about? Feeling frustrated with herself, Kalpana decided that she wasn't going to think about Raghav anymore.
Kalpana's POV:
Why should I think about him anymore? We're only neighbours after all. So what's the big deal if he showed me around the city? He was just being friendly. No not friendly, neighbourly. From now on, I'm just going to mind my own business. After all, I'm here to work. To fulfill the expectations my parents have of me. I'm not going to let some guy distract me.
But why did yesterday feel so different from other days? Why did he make me feel so special? Why did he say all those things? Did he even mean what he said? And why did he not tell me he had a girlfriend? A rather attractive girlfriend if I may say so myself. I'm nothing compared to her. I probably was just a time pass. One can never trust these celebrities.
Kalpana felt more and angrier with herself as these thoughts filled her mind. No one had made her feel this special since... Her eyes became teary as she remembered her college days. Wanting to clear her mind of all unwanted thoughts, she decided to go for a walk.
Few floors above in the penthouse, Raghav was pacing back and forth in his bedroom. He had been feeling restless since he had last seen Kalpana. He had hardly paid any attention to Pakhi throughout dinner. His mind kept wandering back to Kalpana and how much his words had hurt her. He had wanted the day to be memorable and he knew it would be one Kalpana would never forget cause of his stupidity. He couldn't even blame Pakhi.
Raghav's POV:
Seriously, what in the world was I thinking? Neighbours, that's all I could come up with. Would it have killed me to say friends? Pakhi wouldn't have minded, would she? Damn it, stop thinking about Pakhi. It's Kalpana that I should be focusing on. She's the one I upset. I'm going to make it up to her. I will.
