Kavya's POV

This will be the first time, I will be staying at someone's house.

He asked me to follow him upstairs and I didn't argue and followed him.

I entered his room and looked around. This is the first time I am in his room.

The grey colour on the wall made the room so dull and a big bed and a huge wardrobe was occupying the whole room.

The black curtains was making the room so gloomy.

He opened his wardrobe and my eyes widened as I saw half of his wardrobe were filled with suits and the other half of his wardrobe were filled with shirts and different types of ties.

I have never seen so much clothes in my life. Maybe that's the difference between a rich person and a middle class person.

'You can sleep here. I will go and sleep with Raj,' he said as he handed me a fresh set of duvet and pillow.

'Okay. Take care of your hand,' I said and he smiled at me and left the room.

I looked at the bed.

I have never slept anywhere other than my bed.

I looked around to find a yoga mat and took it.

I placed it on the floor, kept the pillow, laid on it and covered myself with duvet.

I closed my eyes with the hope that sleep will welcome me soon.

Kabir's POV

I got up and looked around and remembered that I am in Raj's room.

For the first time I slept on the floor.

Raj had taken the whole bed while sleeping and I didn't had the heart to wake him up so I took a mat and slept on the floor.

For few hours it felt so uncomfortable so I decided to go and sleep on the couch but I didn't fit there so I went back to his room and again slept on the floor.

I was tossing and turning but then I don't know when sleep welcomed me.

I got up, folded the mat, took my duvet and pillow and went to my room.

I saw her sleeping on the floor and sighed.

I went and sat down on my knees beside her.

I had given my bed to her but she decided to sleep on the floor which made me realize that she creates her own boundaries and I want to respect her boundaries.

I got up, took my towel and went into the washroom.

*****

After taking a bath, I wrapped the towel around my waist and got out.

I saw her keeping the mat aside and looked at me.

She looked at me and turned around quickly which made me realize that I am only in a towel.

'I will go downstairs,' she said and ran outside.

*****

'I have called Suraj. He will come to pick you up in few minutes,' I said while I was walking downstairs and I saw her cutting vegetables.

'Aunty?' I raised my eyebrows.

'I told her not to do anything but she insisted,' Aunty replied my unasked question.

'Did she sleep here?' Aunty asked me.

'I slept in the bedroom and he slept with Raj,' Kavya replied hurridely.

'Suraj will come in some time, before that, let's have breakfast,' I changed the topic and sat on the chair and asked aunty to prepare breakfast in five minutes as I will be late for work.

I know that she felt awkward.

She came and sat across me and we were both silent.

Aunty served us sandwich and Kavya came and sat beside me.

She took a bite of sandwich but I pushed her hand away.

'Aunty will feed me,' I said and she seemed disappointed.

'Oh my god! What happened?' Aunty asked as she came and stood in front of me and I told her everything.

She sat beside me and started feeding me.

I looked at Kavya as she was having her breakfast silently.

'I didn't want to bother you,' I told her as we finished our breakfast but still she seemed upset.

Before I could say anything further the doorbell rang and aunty went to open it.

Suraj told us that he is waiting outside and left.

'Aunty, tell Raj that I had breakfast, it will make him happy,' I said before leaving and Kavya bid her goodbye and we left.

We sat in ther car and uncle closed the door.

'Are you upset with me?' I asked after some time.

'When you want, you treat me like the most important person of your life and when you want, you push me away,' she said.

'Yesterday you made me feel so important and today I became non existent in your eyes,' she countinued and a chuckle escaped my lips.

'Is it bothering you?' I asked and she glared at me.

'Of course!' she exclaimed.

'You are important, Kavya.'

'That's why you didnt even call me to ask about my health. You knew that I was sick but still calling me didnt cross your mind,' she huffed in annoyance.

For the first time I am seeing her like this.

Kavya, you dont even know how many times I thought of calling you but I controlled myself as I was trying to keep a distance from you.

I held her hand in mine and she looked at our hands.

I looked at her to see that tears are rolling down her cheeks.

'Hey! Why are you crying?' I asked and she looked at uncle.

'Suraj, can you excuse us for some time?' I asked him and he parked the car aside and got out of the car.

'What happened, Kavya?' I asked as I wiped her tears.

'I don't know what is happening to me but I dont like it when you ignore me,' she told me and I was surprised for a moment.

'I think of you as a good friend of mine so I can't bear it. After so many years, I have got a friend who doesnt look at me with pity so I got happy but sometimes you act like I am important for you and sometimes it seems as if I am a nobody to you,' she continued.

Good friend? Okay! That's what I thought.

She took my hand in hers and caressed it.

'Is it still paining?' she asked.

'Little bit.'

'Yesterday you were hugging me and crying in my arms and today you didn't even let me feed you,' she asked.

'I am sorry, Kavya,' I said and again wiped her tears.

Kavya, if it was in my hands I would have laid you down on the seat and kissed all your tears away but I have to control myself.
