Chapter 4: Handle with care
*Ye to mara haq he na. After all you are mine. Aren't you?*
She rolled over, restlessly seeking comfort.
*You are mine *
Thoughts were rushing past her mind at a blinding pace, mixing together, one indistinguishable from the other.
Parth.
The smirk and the glint in those eyes of his.
Enough to melt her into a helpless creature.
Enough to make her cry, slyly hiding her tears in her pillows.
Enough to embarrass her and reduce her into nothing.
She cried ,letting the pain out.
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
She could feel his lips on her cheek.
And his arms around her.
And she knew. She knew it was all an illusion.
Fake.
Artificial
Pretense.
And the worst thing?
She had done it to herself.
He had never offered to be her boyfriend like she wanted. She had made him, challenged him.
She had poked a 'sleeping dragon'.
She sighed.
Cuddling with the blanket, she wiped the tears.
Was asking for a little bit of his attention wrong?
Was she overstepping the boundaries he so clearly wanted to be unconquered?
Was she making a mistake?
'Loving him can't be a mistake. Loving him too much is the crime.' she pondered over the events of the past two days.
He'd been completely shocked and confounded by her straight forward, shameless behavior.
She recalled the look in his eyes when she had sat on his chest and made him eat his meds.
'He was shocked! Koi bhoot pekhne se kaise chehra phika pad ta hai waise blank face tha uska!' the memory made her smile through her tears.
'Aur...that look when I told him I won't rape him or eat him up...Awww...He looked like a lost puppy! Itna cute , buddhu look tha...' another tear escaped her.
'Aur woh...woh look! Jab mein uske room mein ghuss Gai thi! Sabhi Ladkon ko joor ka jhatka laga tha! Maaja agaya tha!' she stiffled a giggle.
'Par shayad uske roommates ke samne nahi karna chaiye tha...'she mused, remembering the howls and looks thrown at Parth by that Jiggy and Randhir.
'Guilty nahi feel karungi, Parth ne bhi scores even kardiye...Un juniors aur pure college ke samne itna PDA kardiya ki mera 'ice queen' image hi tel lagane gaya!' she frowned.
'Candle-light breakfast! Hum ek dusre ko embarrass karne ki competition kar rahe hai ya apne aap ko? Jo bhi ho..use aise mere room mein aa kar up close and personal dhamki dene ki jarurat nahi thi! Samajta kya hai? Ki I'll melt and become a puddle of mush?' she pouted 'Par uske samne helpless toh ho jati hun ye uski biggest strength hai.'
She yawned, feeling emotionally worn out by all her Parth dominated thoughts
'Acha hai...Din mein actions se dominate karta hai aur raat main us hi ke khayal torture karte hai. Khud baby ki tarah so raha hoga.' She rolled her eyes.
'Baat hi nahi karungi ! Kya bolta tha mujhe? Chipko mat? Abhi main 360 degree turn lungi aur tum hi chipkoo movement initiate karoge. Dekhlena tum!' She smirked.
--------------------
"Parth Bhai dawa le li? " Jiggy shook the hajmola bottle with a goofy grin on his face.
Even Randhir who had been pissed off thanks to another Arguement with Sanyukta began guffawing at the incredible display of anger showcased on Parth's face.
Parth pulled out the pills and took one out.
"Le lo dawaii! It's working. Aaj ye banda angry young man se roadside Romeo ban gaya tha. " Randhir smirked, looking at Parth popping a pill and washing it down with water .
Parth fumed.
Randhir paid no attention to the death glare he got from Parth.
Thoroughly agitated, Parth retorted "Atleast me and Vidushi are actually acting our age aur Hum bachhon jaise nahi ladh rahe hai. I'm sorry if Main Aur Vidu Tujhse Aur Sanyukta se jyada mature hai "
Randhirs hands turned into angry fists.
"Bhai... Bhai! Zhagda chodo Aur so jao . Kal PKC ki class hai " Jiggy turned off his light.
"Aise Phir mere bare Mein bola toh chodunga nahi "Randhir roared.
"Sach toh bola meine. Aur Kar Kya loge? Maroge? Maro. But stop lying to yourself. Bachoon jaise act karne se kuch solve nahi hota " Parth replied, his tone soft and intending to end the discussion once and for all.
Unfortunately for Parth, Randhir's Battlemode was switched on.
"Ho gaya? Itne Pravachan dete ho aur khud kuch follow karte ho kya?" Randhir's laugh mocked him.
"Meri chinta maat karo. Kaal final task hai uski chinta karo!" Parth growled.
"Haan. Main final task ki hi chinta kar raha hun. Tumhari bestfriend Sanyukta ko zhelna aur task karna difficult task hoga...agar koi aur meri jagah hota" Randhir had his 'Hum kisi se kam nahi...humse kitne ko kisi mein dum nai' swagger back.
Parth sighed. "Raat bahot ho gai hai, goodnight"
"Yeah. Yeah.. Sweet Vidushi dreams. We will all enjoy it while it lasts." Randhir laughed.
"What do you mean Randhir?" Parth's jaw clenched.
"Matlab ye so called sukon ko enjoy karenge hum. Vidushi toh koi sati savitri nahi hai ki tumhare hypocrite pravachan ko zyada der tak sun paye. She will break up with you under a month. Aur phir tum wapis udas devdas aur Vidushi wicked witch of the west ben jaoge." Randhir grinned "Aur main use blame nahi karunga..."
Parth's jaw tightened. "Aur agar main aur Vidushi breakup nahi karte within a month?"
"Agar Vidushi ne tumhe 2 mahine tak tolerate kiya toh tu jita. " Randhir rolled his eyes.
"Mujhe hi conditions? Agar main jita toh uske baad tum Sanyukta ke sath jhagda nahi karoge" Parth challenged, giving Randhir his 'You are so losing this one' look.
"Tum haroge Parth. Tumhe kya lagta hai? Vidushi will break up with you. Itni stupid nahi hai ki woh tumse pyaar-wyaar kar pade! She's too sly for that!" Randhir taunted.
"The joke is on you this time Rank one. Pyaar toh woh karti hai. Aur agar nahi bhi karti toh 2 mahine ke andar karegi" Parth smirked.
"Dekhte hai. Agar tumhara breakup 2 mahine ke undar hogaya toh tum Sanyukta aur mere bare main bolna band kardoge" Randhir declared.
"Aur agar main aur Vidushi 2 mahine se jyada ek sath rahe toh hamare 2 MONTH anniversary pe Cake ka kharcha tum karoge aur Sanyukta se civilly behave karoge. Aur haan, 2 mahine tak tum Vidushi se baat nahi karoge. Main tumhe cheating ka koi chance nahi dunga!" Parth glared at Randhir.
"Deal. 2 mahine." Randhir glared back.
-------------------------------------------------------
Vidushi woke up in the morning when the sun hit her face, a bright blow to her sleepy eyes.
"Great. Sunlight bhi aa gaya mock karne! Good Morning my foot.!" she greated the day with a frown.
The clock next to Sanyukta's bed went off, another taunt , this time to her ears.
"Ache din ane wale hai...But not in this hell otherwise known as FITE...Full too Intese Torture to Everyone!" Vidushi groaned, picking up a set of fresh clothes and heading to the bathroom before her roomates got up and used all the hot bathwater like last time.
She gave herself a critcal do over in the mirror.
Hair, eyes and lips all looked perfect.
The green sleeveless top and the perfect jean shorts were to die for.
'To to resist this! Ice queen on!' She blew the mirror a kiss and began to walk to the canteen.
She needed a chai to start her challenging day.
She paid for the cup of steaming chai and took a seat at her usual table.
She looked down at the chai and frowned.
Steaming like an engine
" Is chai ke toh sirf 2 versions hai. Antartica ya Volcano." she frowned.
"There you are. Chai pi rahi ho?" A husky voice behind her asked.
Vidushi froze.
'It's just Parth. Ignore! Koi Irritating person hai aisa samajh.. Fevicol Kaustuki hai aisa samajh ke baat karle!' she motivated herself.
Securing the bitch face and her classic glare, she turned around and hissed "Nahi, I'm drinking beer. Tumhe matlab?"
Parth's smug look turned into a furious one.
'Shit...Terminator ki re-entry...No...it's Kaustuki, Sanyukta fevicol fangirl!'
He grabbed the chair beside her and sat, purposely moving as close as possible to her.
His jean-clad leg brushed against her bare skin.
She fought a whimper as he grabbed her left hand and interwined their fingers.
Imagining he was Fevicol Kaustuki became down right impossible when he pulled her hand to his lips and brushed a gentle kiss on it.
She couldn't fight the blush spreading across her cheeks.
Her plan was going to be ruined before it even started!
She couldn't let that happen could she?
She tried to pull her hand out of his but the grip on it tightened painfully.
He brushed another kiss against her knuckles.
"Parth..ye tum.." his index finger against her lips stopped her.
"Chup. Let your boyfriend express his love. 8 hours away from you was hell." Parth's tone was sweet but the hidden meaning was not lost on her 'Play along or else..."
She grabbed her cup with her free hand and brought it to her lips.
"Ek minute!"Parth snatched the cup to his own lips and blew on it before bringing it back to her lips.
She gave him a 'What is wrong with you ?'look before she took a sip.
He brought the cup back to his own lips and took a sip.
She fought another blush as the indirect kiss registered in her mind.
Parth on the other had was a storm behind a calm.
He had to put on this show. He would have enjoyed that unwilling blush he had put on her cheeks if he didn't have a big question tormenting him.
'How do I ask her...how the hell do I ask Vidushi for a bloody extenstion of our fake relationship without begging?'

"Khelna hai na? I'll make the rules this time."
"What rules?"
"My rules"
