Kisha: Chapter 5
KD was a shy person by nature. But, he used to gel up very nicely with Kiya. He had a good physique and was tall and handsome. He was practical and cultured boy. Kiya liked his witty nature. He was smart and cute. He used to tell kiya that he was short- tempered at times to which Kiya never believed. He was optimistic in life.
KD and Kiya's friendship became stronger day by day. Their chats used to start late at night.Kiya loved to talk on phones. Initially their discussions used to be mostly on Ranveer and Kiya's fight with him but soon their topics changed to how much they love eating chaats, their school days, their favorite things, etc., etc...
" Kiya are you done with your studies? Very few months are left for your exams." KD said.
"I know. I'm almost done with everything except Applied physics. I just don't get this subject especially ACOSTICS and ULTRASONICS. Can you help me with this? I know you are doing Mechanical engineering but first year portion is the same for everyone." Kiya said.
"I will definitely help you. It's not that too tough. I'm glad that you are studying regularly, Kish" KD said.
"thank you, Keshu." Kiya said becoming happy.
They decided to meet at a local library and clear all her doubts regarding the subject. For KD, Kiya became 'Kish" and for Kiya he was ' Keshu'. They used to avoid saying it in front of Ranveer and Panchi as even they didn't call them by these names. It was difficult to understand their friendship. KD and Kiya used to rarely talk about their chats to Ranveer and Panchi. Kiya had many male friends but she never hid things from Ranveer however she used to keep him aloof from KD. She felt that if Ranveer comes to know then he might ask her to end her friendship with KD, and she didn't want this to happen. She also kept Ruchi uninformed about it. Kiya knew that if Ruchi comes to know then she would certainly inform Panchi about this. This would create unnecessary problems in KD's life. Kiya and KD had become too comfortable in each other's company. They used to accompany each other everywhere possible. Eating chaats was at the top of their to-do-list. They thought their brains only work after munching on their favorite delicious spicy mouth- watering chaat.
Next day, Kiya messaged Ranveer-
'I want to meet you!'
'ok.. fine I will try to leave early today!' He replied.
Kiya was happy that Ranveer at least said that he will try. They met at Caf Coffee Day. Ranveer was very hungry and also very tired. They ordered two cappuccinos.
"Ranveer, I am thinking of going for shopping with Gia this Saturday." She told him.
"Ya sure, Fashion street?"
"Maybe we have not yet decided." She said.
"Ok. See how nice boyfriend you have got. I don't have any problem when you meet your friends." He taunted her.
"You think, I restrict you to meet your friends. Let me tell you one thing I don't hang out everyday like you. And I don't party with my ex." She burst out.
"What do you want to say Kiya, be clear. Sonia had proposed to me and I just said yes, because I thought she will be hurt but next day itself I had realized that I was doing wrong. I told her that we will be friends like earlier and she had agreed to it. Just 1 day affair it was, and you are creating a big issue out of it." He explained.
"1 ay or 1 year I don't care, you tell me what you would have done if I had partied with my ex?" she asked
"Kiya, I don't party alone with her, she is in our group and I can't ask her to stop coming with us because you don't like it." He raised his voice.
"I know that Ranveer, why will you do something for me? For you your friends are your first priority and I see myself nowhere in your life. If you get two choices to choose either me or them, what will you choose?" she asked.
"It's obvious I will choose them, I know from them from past 5 years and you just entered my life six months back. And if I give you a choice then you would definitely choose your friends , I know that." He said.
"In that case Ranveer, I am still a stranger to you, you don't know me completely." She said.
Kiya took her bag and left the place. She called her driver and went home. She was deeply hurt. A girl can't tolerate that her boyfriend chooses someone else instead of her. In kiya's case, she had kept ranveer first, on her priority list. She would have not minded if Ranveer chose his parents instead of her. But the case was opposite, he chose his friends. She felt like calling KD and tell him everything what had happened in the evening and tell him how Ranveer is. He was the only person she could share her feelings with, without hesitation.
When she reached home, she saw few family members had come to celebrate her dad's success. She saw a few bottles of beer in the kitchen and decided to empty minimum of five that night.
It was cold that night. Kiya was feeling a little numb. Everything around her seemed fuzzy. The beer made her happy and relaxed. She came inside her room and called Ranveer. His mobile was switched off. She sat on her bed and switched on her laptop. She thought of surfing anything at random. She signed in her Skype account and to her surprise KD was online.
Kiya: Hieee...
KD: Hello. How are you online now??????( it was already 12.00pm)
Kiya: I should take your permission or what?
KD: No. why are you saying this?
Kiya: Keshu I emptied 5 bottles of beer.
KD: Okay... Very good... now shut up and tell me how many beers you had?😲
Kiya: I told you, 5 bottles.
KD: see stop kidding. And tell me the truth or I will go offline.
Kiya: Ok sorry. I will tell you but please don't go offline.
KD: tell me.
Kiya: 1 and a half.
KD: At home?😲
Kiya: Ya. Party to celebrate dad's success.
KD: Dad's friends?😕
Kiya: No. with family members.
KD: So how's Ranveer?😊
Kiya:Because of him I emptied 5 bottles of beer.
KD: Again 5 bottles. Anyways leave it. What has he done now?
Kiya: he keeps hurting me every now and then. He is a jerk.
KD: Don't say that Kish. Now now don't be upset. Show me how you smile???😊😊
Kiya:Hehehehehehheh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😆
KD: you are mad.😃
Kiya: thanks for changing my mood.😊
KD: you are welcome
Kiya: bye...gn sd tc.
KD: Bye.. gn
Kiya: Bye.. miss you,, love you...😳
KD: Bye now
Kiya: Wait!!!!!
KD: yeah I am there.
Kiya: Can I hug you???????????😊😉
KD: Kish, don't be upset. See you smiled also!!😊
Kiya: Ok. Bye...😊
She went offline.
KD was surprised to read what Kiya had written. But later, he felt it was the beer which made her drowsy and she wrote it. He once again checked whether she was online or not, but she wasn't there. He texted her-
' Hey plz go to sleep now and take care!'
She wrote back-
'Don't take so much care of me.'
She pulled her hair in a bun and lied down on her bed, completely sleepless. The drink had started making her nauseatic. There was some unreasonable pain in her heart. It is quite difficult to understand this pain. It became complicated to come out of it. She was crying . she was badly missing Ranveer and wanted to talk to him. But his behavior had started becoming an obstruction for her.
