*Riddhi Pov*

"Are you fine?" Rose asked when we finally stepped out of the college, ignoring all the looks from everywhere and I can see some pity on them and some smirks.

I am not fine which is really a shame thing. How can I feel the same hurt I felt when he walked away while watching both of them hugging each other?

Did he have to do it in front of me? Can't he see that I can get more than hurt seeing them like this every day?

"I am fine, Rose." I replied, nodding at her.

"Why don't I stay with you today?" she asked when we reached the supermarket.

"No! You must be tired too. I mean we had holidays when you stayed at my small place. We will meet tomorrow at the college." I replied hurriedly.

"But..." she started saying which I immediately cut off by hugging her.

"Thank you for being there, Rose." I said, giving her a small smile and rushed inside the store and didn't stop until I reached the changing area.

No, no! Please don't cry, Riddhi. Please don't cry here. I repeated it in my head before changing into working clothes.

"What are you still doing here, Riddhi? It is past your time to work here." I heard the manager's voice and turned to see him frowning at me.

"I am sorry, Sir. I didn't glance at the time." I replied and started walking towards the room to change.

"You need to concentrate on your studies too." He said when I started leaving the store and I nodded.

Concentrate on the studies? How could I do that? Can I even hear the lectures properly with a feeling that the person I love is sitting in the class beside his new girlfriend?

"Bow!" I screamed and jumped back hearing two shouts and then heard two people laughing.

"Jonah! Noah! Are you troubling Riddhi?" I heard the café uncle voice while I was still standing near the steps from where I can reach my room with a hand on my chest still feeling the terror.

"No, Dad!" they both replied, hiding their laughs, but I narrowed my eyes at them.

"Is this how you behave? You are not kids." I said glaring at them, to which they laughed again.

"We are younger than you though." One of them replied but I don't know which one is that as it is really impossible to differentiate them.

"Don't you like us? Eveyrone likes us too much that they always call our names." Another said and I shook my head.

"I wonder why!" I mumbled sighing.

"Look, it's been two weeks since we met you and you need to like us or at least be friendly with us." Both of them ordered and I stared at the in shock.

Who would have thought that sixteen year olds can demand like that? I thought, shaking my head.

"Move!" I said when they both just stood clocking my path.

"Like us, Riddhi." They both said, pleading me when I stood there in silence for a few minutes.

"I can't! I don't like someone easily. It is just not me." I said to which they frowned.

"Fine! But we both like you." One of them said, grinning and they both walked away while I smiled at them shaking my head.

Who would have thought that all it needs is two stubborn teenagers and we can forget our problems? I thought, reaching my room and sighed.

I will be fine! I thought, nodding to myself like everyday and drifted off into sleep not feeling hungry to have any dinner.

Will I ever be fine? I thought, frowning to myself after looking at both of them for the past one month.

My heart just got used to them, but the pinching didn't leave me and Rose just stayed with me assuring me no matter what.

I thought I was unlucky but she proved me wrong from the day she started our friendship and I wished I didn't waste the first year and made her just my classmate.

"Riddhi!" I suddenly heard the familiar voice while walking towards the canteen along with Rose.

"What do you want?" Rose asked him while I didn't even glance at him.

What does he want? I thought I am finally fine as two months passed since the college started and I stopped, glanced at them too and nearly giving a blind eye too them.

"I called her!" that's all he replied and I looked up to see him standing before me.

"My Mom wants to talk to you. Why don't you lift her call? Because she is asking me every time to talk to you at least once and I don't know why." He rushed the words staring at me.

I nodded and started walking away, but he stopped me holding my hand, making me stare at him with shock.

"Will you call her?" he asked, frowning at me.

"You informed me and I listened. Whether I will call or not will not matter to you." I replied in a normal tone and he left my hand immediately before walking away.

"I am proud of you." Rose whispered and I smiled before we started walking again but again two people stopped us.

"What were you talking with my boyfriend?" Sailaja asked frowning at me.

"Look, Sailaja! You wanted him and you got him. Now, you can leave me alone." I replied to which she frowned more.

"Wait a minute! Do you really think I did some plans and took him away from you?" she asked laughing while I frowned at her.

"Everyone knows that bitch." Rose said, glaring at her, to which she stopped laughing.

"You are so wrong, Riddhi. He knows that I like him immediately after one month the college started. I even talked rubbish about you, but he just heard it without saying a word to stop me. But do you remember how he scolded you while you said something to us?" she asked and laughed while my face just went pale.

"Do you know we all always talk bad about you, but he never stopped us and we would have if had said anything strong to us but he never did. And do you know who didn't want to kiss at that grand party where you wore Saree?" she asked and I took a step back.

"It was me because I don't want to kiss someone else boyfriend. Shiv never gave you much importance than us except for a few days which you already know." She added smirking.

"And we already know he was breaking up with you before one week itself. He gave us a list of pros and cons to us so that he can decide whether to be with you or not. And there was only two or three pros in which major are that how can he stop it after this much time of relation." Sam said shaking his head.

"So you see, I didn't took him away from you. You were never for him otherwise why would these things happen from the short time we became friends with him at all?" Sailu asked and walked away along with Sam while I slowly leaned into the wall gasping for air still hearing their words.

"Riddhi! Riddhi! Drink water." I heard Rose saying and took a sip, but immediately pushed it away.

"I want to leave." I mumbled and repeated it with a raised voice.

"I will stay here with you." She said when I calmly laid on the bed after we both rushed from the college and I still don't know from where did I got that much energy while all I wanted to do was falling on the floor.

"I need some alone time." I mumbled, staring at the ceiling to which she sighed and left the room.

After hearing the door closing, I let the tears fall and in no time I am screaming into the pillows.

No! He can't do this to me like this. Why is all these things hurting me even more than the break up? I thought crying more.

I don't have anyone! I don't have my parents and they will never talk to me. And I will never have him for whom I let my parents leave me.

Why did you do this, Shiv? You never loved me like I did, Shiv. I would have killed someone if they said anything wrong about you.

To this day I felt maybe I was so into thinking about money arrangements and the way I still have town lifestyle made you push away from me.

No! Those were never the problem for you. What you said is completely right, but only from your side. You just settled for me there and walked out when you got a chance.

The problem is not in me, Shiv. You just don't know what you are feeling for anyone for yourself. It is not my loss at all! I thought and cried more for the death of our relation.

*Shiv Pov*

"What?" I screamed at Sailu and Sam when they finally explained what they have done to Riddhi.

"Why are you shouting? I can't bear if someone thinks I was the reason for both of you to break up." Sailu said frowning.

"But I told you everyone will forget it." I said rubbing my forehead.

"It's been two months. When will they? So, I told her everything which everyone heard and now no one will think wrong about me." She said smiling.

"But they will think wrong about him." Charlie said, staring at his phone and smirked.

"You are again popular, Shiv. You are getting bashed again. When did people's thinking become so right?" he added and walked away while I stared at his back in shock.

"Ignore him, Shiv. He is always like that." Sam said, rolling his eyes.

"She was already hurt, Sailu. You just hurt her more with all these." I said frowning at her.

"So? Why are you thinking about her? I am your girlfriend not her." Sailu said frowning back.

"Yeah! Why are you thinking about that girl feelings?" Sam asked and they both stared at me like I did something wrong.

"When I thought about Sailu's feelings in the beginning, then why can't I do that for Riddhi whom I know for seven years? And you are the one who asked me to be careful with Sailu right?" I asked Sam.

"Look, at that time Sailu was your friend while Riddhi is just your Ex and classmate now. There is a difference." Sam explained.

"Why are we even talking about her? Let's go and grab something to eat. I am really hungry." Sailu said and we all walked out of my house where we came directly from college.

I am nodding to their words but I couldn't help but get lost in my thoughts and everything that happened and is happening.
