Hello everyone. Back with this one after a long time. The reason I didn't update this story was I was not happy with the votes it got in the last chapter. I waited until it got a good amount of votes and now I'm updating it. So, happy reading ☺️.

**************************************

Then, someone mistakenly bumped into her. That person asked sorry and Teja said that's okay. She turns back to Karan but stops rooted in her place. She turns back and her eyes fall on the music area. Her eyes widened seeing a person over there. Her lips parted to say the name...

"Harsh Bhaiyya!" - Teja said his name slowly. A man is tuning his guitar and he is revealed to be Harsh, Teja's elder brother. She goes to him and Karan stops dancing as he notices her going somewhere. He follows her and stands behind her as she stops at her place.

"Teju, what are you doing here?" - Karan asked and Teja turned towards him. "Karan, look there. Harsh Bhaiyya." - Teja said pointing at the front and Karan looks at the direction she pointed and finds none. "Where?" - Karan asked her.

She turns and finds none except for some French man. She looks here and there. Karan turns her towards him and cups her face. "Teju, what happened to you? Are you okay?" - Karan asked her. "Of course, I am okay! I saw Bhaiyya just now. I swear!" - Teja said and turned back to the place looking everywhere to find her brother.

"But Teju, your brother is dead, remember?!" - Karan said turning her back to him to face her. Teja looks at him for a second and thinks for a while. "But.. But I just saw him." - Teja said confidently. "Maybe, you are imagining him. I think you drank too much. Let's go to the room." - Karan said.

Teja nods at him unconsciously but she still was looking back where her brother was. She stumbles while walking with Karan. Karan carries her in his arms and she looks at him coming out of her trance. "Karan, what are you doing? Let me down." - Teja said wiggling in his arms.

"Shhhhhhh! Let me bring you to your room!" - Karan said leaning extremely close to her face and their lips were an inch apart. Teja shudders and keeps quiet. Karan smiles and pulls himself back. He walks out of the pub and goes straight to her room. He opens the door and closes it still carrying her in his arms.

He goes towards her bed and slowly places her on the bed. All this while, Teja keeps looking at him. Karan was about to pull himself away from her but she gripped his shirt and pulls him towards her. He was shocked as their faces were very close to each other's.

Teja is staring at him not saying anything. Karan places his one hand on her bare waist and one on the bed for the support. Teja let out a moan when his hand touched her bare waist. Karan smirks and thinks to tease her a bit. As she was wearing a knee length gown, he moves his hand from her waist to her thighs.

Her dress had gone up a little when she was placed on the bed. Karan slides his hand to her inner thigh making her shudder. She stares at his lips and then his eyes. How much she is longing for him to kiss her lips that is calling his name.

Karan slowly pressed her inner thigh and holds her neck. Teja let out another moan and closes her eyes. Karan smirks and moves more closer to her face. Feeling his hot breath on her face, Teja opens her eyes. Their lips were touching each other's lips.

"I know that you want me as much as I want you but I'll wait until you confess your love to me." - Karan said upon her lips and pulls himself away from her and stands straight while smirking. Teja was surprised and sits up on her bed. She looks at him surprisingly and he winks at her.

"Well, have a tight sleep. Will see you tomorrow. Good night, baby girl!" - Karan said and left her room. Teja was surprised and smiles unknowingly. She falls on the bed and was lost in her thoughts. "Do I really love him?" - Teja asked herself. "Yes, pagli! You are in love with Karan. Madly and deeply!" - someone said.

Teja sits up again and looks around her room. "Who's that?" - Teja asked taking a butter knife from the stand beside her. "Look at the window, idiot!" - Someone said. Teja turns to window and finds someone exactly looking like herself. Teja opens her mouth in shock and drops the knife on the floor.

"Don't be too shocked. I'm your inner self." - She said. "What are you doing here?" - Teja asked it. "I'm here to explain to you and make you understand that you are in love with Karan Kundrra because you can't understand it by yourself!" - Her inner self said in annoyance.

"And how are you sure that I am in love with Karan?" - Teja asked to her inner self. Her inner self slaps her own forehead. "Adaa was correct. You couldn't identify your own feelings. Oh God!" - Her inner self cries dramatically and Teja smiles sheepishly.

"Don't you feel safe around him? (Teja nods her head.) Don't you feel like a home when he is with you? ( Teja again nods her head.) Don't you two respect each other's difference but agree on the important things? (Teja again nods her head positively.) Don't you understand when he is quite and what he feels or going throught? Don't you feel the chemistry between you two? Weren't you there for each other? And finally, didn't you were totally yourself when he is with you?" - Her inner self shoots her questions after questions to her.

"Yes, yes and yes! I agree with you. But why are you asking all this?" - Teja asked her. "These are the symbols of a person being in love Tejasswi! You are in love with him." - Her inner self said and smiles at her. Teja looks at her inner self and was lost in thoughts. Thinking so deeply and reminiscing all her moments with him.

Yes, she felt safe around him and a home with him. She was totally herself when she was with Karan in their apartment. Yes, they had difference opinions but agreed on the same important things. She understands whenever he feels down or in pain. When they make out, there wasn't lust. It was only pure love between them.

Teja smiles realizing all this and looks around to find her inner self but she couldn't find it. "Thank you for making me realize my love for him, inner self. I owe you a lot!" - Teja said looking at herself in the mirror. "Karan, I'm really sorry for hurting you. I'll do something unforgettable to make it up. I love you, Karan!" - Teja said to herself and falls on the bed.

How much she wished that he should be beside her on the bed now. She hugs the pillow and forced herself to sleep to wake up to a new beautiful morning. There was a smile on her face thinking about him.

**************************************
