He disconnected the call and kept the phone on the bed and looked at her.

"Tu natak kar raha tha?" She asked frowning.

"Natak?kaisa natak?" He asked gulping a bit as he realised the goof up that he had done.

"Your voice was absolutely okay while talking on phone...." She sat on her knees on the bed and looked at him angrily.

"Nahi nahi....that?oh that?i....arrey i got....i got worked up for an issue that is why....that is why...." He fumbled with his words and shook his head.

"Don't you dare lie....i hate liars....you...." She took the pillow , stood up on the bed and hit him with it

Karan raised his hands to dodge it.

"Teju stop...." He chuckled.

"Do you even know i worried the entire team was?and you didn't even bother about them?because of your stupid game...." She said angrily and kept hitting him.

"You know what?i am done....i do not want to have any further conversations with you...." She threw the pillow angrily got down and was about to walk away.

"Oyee laddoo...." He held her by her waist and pulled her back to him making her back hit his chest.

Teja stood frozen for a moment and then took a few deep breaths to compose herself.

"Karan chor mujhe...." She said sternly.

"First call me Kundrri...." He said adamantly.

"I won't....leave me...." She wriggled under his grip to get away.

"Stop struggling....you cannot go unless i let you go...." He said softly in her ear making her go stiff again.

Did he mean it some other way? Ofcourse not.

"Karan....what you did today is wrong....leave me...." She said slowly.

"I hated it....the way you spoke to me last night....i could sense that you were going away....and i didn't know how to stop you...." He said honestly and left her.

She turned and looked at him.

"I told you we will always be friends...." She said looking at him.

"I know you did but when i held your hand , the way you pulled it back....i didn't like it...." He said not meeting her eyes. "I don't want you to be friends with me just for the sake of it....the way you understand me i don't remember the last time anyone understood me that well...."

He gulped looking at her.

Her face had softened by now.

"I am not good with words....but i can say i didn't want to lose that one friend who actually gets me....i lost a lot of friends....not you....i didn't know how to get you back so i did this...." He said with guilt and she smiled sheepishly.

You always look out for me and i kept taking you for granted. The moment you pulled yourself back , i couldn't take it.

"Bholu...." She chuckled softly.

"Stop making fun of me...." He said rolling his eyes.

"If you want me as your friend....i will make fun of you and you have to accept it that way...." She said warning him.

"Chalega mujhe...." He said immediately.

"Fine now....from tomorrow we have shoot....i am so excited to see the Eiffel tower...." She clapped and jumped. "Good night now...."

She turned to leave but he held her hand and pulled her back.

"Ruk jaa nuh...." He whined like a kid.

"No...." She said sternly.

"10 minutes...." He said with a frown.

"1 minute...." She said casually.

"No 5...." He said immediately.

"2 minutes....final....sealed and locked...." She rolled her eyes.

*****

Karan came downstairs the next day. They would be having their breakfast and then leave for shoot.

He was about to enter the restaurant of the hotel when he saw Teja standing at the buffet area with Rithvik and Wahi and both the boys were together trying to do something with a phone.

He went inside and walked towards them.

"Good morning guys...." He said with energy.

"Arrey good morning....how are you now?" Rithvik asked him. Karan immediately looked at Teja as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah....yeah I am good....chor nuh yeh tum log kar kya rahe ho?" He frowned looking at the phone in their hand and realised that it was Teja's phone.

"Ho gaya....lein chal paise de mera...." Wahi gave the phone back to her.

"Koi paisa nahi milega bhaggg...." She rolled her eyes and went to take a plate for the breakfast buffet.

The boys started to talk about something and the topic was brushed under the carpet.

Karan went and took a crepe for himself and stood beside Teja as she was taking some fruits.

"What happened with your phone?" He frowned at her.

"Arrey nothing....stupid thing...." She said casually.

"Oh sure why would you tell me...." He said sarcastically.

She looked at him with a frown.

"There is nothing to say....some weird settings was turned on...." She rolled her eyes at his childishness.

"I don't care now...." He muttered and went to the table.

"What the hell...." She muttered under her breath and went behind him.

"Karan...." She sat beside him and nudged him with her elbow.

"Don't...." He said seriously and started to have his crepe.

"It was nothing serious....i swear...." She said like a kid.

"I don't care...." He muttered under his breath.

"Pakka?toh mai jaau?" She held her plate and pretended to get up.

"Baithi reh chup chap aur khaa....zyaada mat kar i am already angry...." He said in a low voice.

"Acchhaa sorry....tu maan jaa nuh...." She said with a pout.

"Nope...." He said with a straight face.

"Kundrri please maan jaa nuh...." She held his elbow and shook him.

"Fine....eat now...." He said casually.

"Maan gaya?" She asked cutely.

"Next time if you are in trouble....anything....be it anything....even the smallest of small things....you will tell me...." He said stressing on 'me'.
