The whole night Ritika was guessing what made Zoya furious at her and now why was she behaving as if she regrets everything. Whereas Zoya was speculating about how to explain to Ritika about her insecurities.

That night which caused the misunderstanding between these two has two different points of view and when two opinion clashes it may sort things out or worsen the already broken relationship.

The night seems unusually long for both the girls. Both kept twisting and turning in sleep as sleep was far away from them.

The next day, Rits was lost while going to college. Mr and Mrs Johnson noticed it but they preferred to be quiet as they don't want to intrude in her matter.

Satvik came to her PG to pick her up while he knew something was off but he kept his face straight as he doesn't want her landlords to ask him any questions.

SATVIK'S POV

I can feel Ritika is upset about something and also know that it's related to Zoya but asking her may make things worse. She will come to know I was eavesdropping on her and Zoya.

While on the way to college, I could see through the mirrors that she kept looking at her watch from time to time.

"Rits, we aren't late for college and talk to me girl. I'm feeling like I'm your driver and you're my passengers." I said huffing and took her hand and kept it on my waist.

I could feel her hands freeze and she was stilled. I felt her gaze on me through the mirrors and when our eyes met I lost a heartbeat.

Suddenly, my bike passed through a pothole and she fell on me completely. Her hot breaths were fanning on my shoulder blade sending shivers to my body.

I could feel her against me in the way which may be wrong where we were against each other and her hot breaths were fanning on my lips and I closed my eyes. At the same time, her alarm rang and I came out of my dreamland.

"Umm...sorry! Hold me tight the road is under construction." I shook my head clearing my thoughts and throat while she hummed looked anywhere and everywhere.

"Rits, if you have any college work then complete today itself we have a college fest from Monday and then some camping on weekends," I told her as it was near to the end semester.

"Is it compulsory to go camping?" She asked not looking at me instead she kept looking at her shoes.

"Can you say it again looking into my eyes? I didn't hear it." I said in a strict tone.

"Umm...nothing... I... I was just asking that all are coming or not!" She said smiling awkwardly. God! She is freaking so cute I wish to cup her face and...

"Rits, umm... let's go to the ground today no classes and also in the fest NYC team is going participate. So, we have to give our best." I said and she followed me as I'm not able to face her. Fuck! I should keep my thoughts in control.

RITIKA'S POV

I was worried as I was in college with Satvik and it was past 12 still Zoya wasn't seen. I sighed and thought she changed her plan. I changed to my basketball kit and was dripping the wall vigorously. Suddenly, Aadi came in front of me.

"Hey! Aadi, come! You have practice too right?" I said smiling knowing about the match.

"Hmm!" He hummed and left to another side of the basketball court. I felt hurt by his actions but then Zoya came in front of me.

"Hey! Is your practice done?" She asked me nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

"Umm...yeah but I need to practice a few more minutes as we have a practice match during the fest, so boys and girls are gonna have a trial match," I told her and she nodded.

"Okay!" She said cutting it short and I could feel she was getting disturbed. But it was her choice to tell it to be today, I haven't forced her.

"Zoya, it's okay if you don't wanna talk about that today I'm kind of busy a few days so you can take your time and I also hope you will give me the same required time," I said holding her hand in assurance and she smiled at ease.

I tried to talk to Aadi during the match while he kept ignoring but I could also feel Satvik and Zoya's gaze on me. I don't know why but I feel good when Satvik acts protective towards me.

I brushed away my thoughts related to Satvik and focused on the game while it was only Satvik, Aadi and I managed to have a basket so he was happy that the defence of the team is prepared for the match.

The day went shortly and I was glad that I and Zoya don't get time to talk as I wasn't mentally prepared. But I noticed the thing that Aadi keeps looking at me with hurt but when I look at him he ignores me as if I'm air.

AADITYA'S POV

Why? Why haven't I confessed my love for Ritika? If I would have confessed she would have been with me. What should I do to bring her back?

Were my feelings just one-sided? God! Too much confusion. Should I try to get her back? Yeah! Trying us the least thing I can do. But how?

Yes! Got an Idea!

Third-Person POV

The next day, Ritika and Satvik came to college by car and satvik opened the car door for her. As soon as Ritika came out she saw Aadi and Zoya.

The focus of the crowd was on Aadi and Zoya as from the past few years they came together but never like this. They were just friends but today it was completely different as Aadi kept one hand on her back while walking.

Ritika wished Aaditya and Zoya while Zoya smiled at her back but Aadi escorted her away from the parking. Ritika was kind of hurt but she was glad that her idea of bringing Aaditya and Zoya started to work.

"Rits, let's go to the shops okay?" Satvik asserted while Ritika nodded smiling.

Ritika held Satvik's hand and Satvik looked at her startled while she indicated through her eyes as Aaditya was looking at them.

Meanwhile, Aaditya gritted his teeth as he saw Satvik happy with Ritika. He was feeling like someone was continuously stabbing his heart with knives. He always wished to be the man of Ritika's life and he was regretting about not confessing earlier.

Aaditya pulled Zoya close to himself harshly gritting his teeth at Ritika as she was acting clingy with Satvik. Zoya flinched as Aaditya never used the kind of harshness he was using today.

She was feeling that it was Ritika who is behind Aaditya but seeing this side of his was making her think differently. Before she could say anything Aadi took her to food stalls where Satvik was feeding Ritika by his hands.

RITIKA'S POV

I'm so happy that now Aadi and Zoya are spending time together but could feel Aaditya's gaze on me every time he is near us but looks away. Also, God knows why Satvik too acts weird. I must appreciate his acting. He is just perfect in everything.

The way he is acting is just perfect. No one can say we aren't couples and I wish these days never end. God! Rits, get a grip girl. Why will he fall for a weak girl me?

The only feeling of leaving Satvik turned my mood off. I don't feel good if he isn't near me.

"Rits, open your mouth?" Satvik said. As soon as I opened my mouth he stuffed the big burger in my mouth and the Mayo spread on my lips.

"Hmm!!...!" I moaned and bite the burger while he had the bite from the same burger. He wiped the corner of my lips with his fingers and licked it making my heart flutter.

"Umm...woh...woh..." Satvik fumbled scratching the back of his neck as he realised what he did and I looked down as my cheeks were burning and I could feel his neck turning red too!

"Umm...let's eat Pani Puri! You know I really miss Indian chat here I can't get that taste!" I said and he smiled taking me to Indian snacks stalls as in London I can't get the same taste as roadside vendors in India.

I was surprised as there were different types of flavoured pani puri but I took the basic flavour. I don't prefer to mess with the originality.

I had a bite and closed my eyes devouring the flavours of it. Though it wasn't as tasty as I get back in India but I missed it.

I could feel Satvik eyeing me while I was having them non stop as if he is seeing an alien.

"What happened!?" I asked holding one pani puri in my hand and he eyed me and burst out laughing as the Pani Puri which I was holding fell on my dress.

"How dare you to laugh at me?" I glared at him and pouted as my top was stained and it looked weird.

Satvik stopped laughing and wiped my dress with tissues and gave his jacket to me. I must tell, his scent is damn addictive.

"Umm... Rits, are you free next weekend?" He asked me and I looked at him in why.

"We have camping, right?" I said and he nodded.

"Umm..after that. It's my birthday and I want to take you to a special place." He said and I thought he will take me to his hotels or clubs.

"Satvik, you know I don't like loud places so..." I dragged nervously looking at him and he smiled.

"Chill! You will like the place!" He said pulling my cheeks and I blushed as no one had ever touched my cheeks.

"You look beautiful when you smile!" He said and pecked my forehead tightly while I hugged him hiding my face in his chest I don't know why but everything with him looks perfect.

We moved back soon and my chain got stuck with his button. I tried to take it out feeling his hot breaths on my forehead and he gulped visibly. I bite my lips nervously trying not to look at his eyes.

I could feel him gulping when I was wriggling under his hold. I tried to remove the chain by pulling by my teeth.

Someone came from the back and pushed us such that fell on Satvik and...
