Shocked

Kamiya's Pov

" Maybe divorce will be the best option as Arjun said," I told as a tear dropped from my eyes.

They both are appalled at my words. At the same time, I smirked at them while driving, "What? I think you two believed my words. Kamiya is not a girl who will back off that easily,"

When I turn to look at their face, they looked like they are not satisfied with my answer. So, I continued, " You are correct, Varsha. As you said I am happy, but one thing is disturbing me so much.

I am happy because I saw the Arjun who is possessive towards me. I am disturbed because of the same person who doubted me. I can't be happy or sad completely. They both are quarreling in my mind,"

"Tell us fully, Kami. You are making us scared," Ishu uttered.

I opened up everything except that hovering part as I know about their teasing skills and also I am not in the mood to blush. They looked relaxed after hearing everything.

"Seriously, why are you sad, idiot?" Varsha exclaimed.

" Yes, you have to be happy now," Ishu nodded.

" For what? For Arjun doubting me right, " I said sarcastically.

"Idiot. You are such an Idiot, Kami," Ishu yelled and I pouted at her.

"Kami, you guys are in the early stage of your relationship. You guys have to understand and trust each other. Then only, you won't face this type of scenario in the future.

You are asking what? Why you can't be sad right? If it happens after you started trusting each other, then you would have to be sad or more than that.

But now you have to be happy because this is the progress in your relationship, Kami. He is insecure about you, that's why he behaved like that yesterday," Varsha explained.

" I know and I can understand. But I can't able to digest the fact that he doubted me," I uttered.

"Dude, You need to think from his place. Ok, tell me. If you are in his place, then what will be your reaction?" Varsha asked.

" I am sure. She will be more violent than him," Ishu stated with a giggle and I glared at her.

"Answer me, What you will do?" Varsha asked me again.

I thought for some time and told " I would have pulled his phone at that time itself. If he is really speaking with some girl then I would have punched him,"

" I told you right," Ishu laughed and I slapped her arm as she is seated in the front seat.

" That's all, you itself answered your query. You need to celebrate this, but you are sulking here," Varsha stated.

Yes, she is right. We need to trust each other to overcome this situation.

" Yes, You are right. But I won't leave him that easily, I will punish him," I smirked.

"It's your wish, baby. You can do whatever you want to do with your baby. Who am I to stop you?" Varsha smirked.

I blushed, "Shut up,"

" Oh my god, See here Varsha. Our Kami is blushing," Ishu exclaimed.

"Ok. Ok. Let her drive or else we won't be in this world to see her next blush," Varsha told and then they both kept quiet for a few minutes.

Suddenly, Ishu yelled, "I want a treat for this,"

"Speak like a human idiot. Why are you shouting like a buffalo?" Varsha slightly slapped her head.

"Buffalo won't speak ok," Ishu told with an attitude.

" That's why I thought to show you to the world as speaking buffalo. What say?" Varsha smirked and Ishu pouted.

" Ok. Ok. What do you want for the treat?" I asked Ishu.

"That I will think and let you know. Now I want breakfast as my tummy is crying for food," Ishu told and we both laughed at her.

"My parents and in-laws invited you guys for breakfast," I informed.

"Can we have it outside, Kami? We won't be comfortable there. Maybe we can have over 2 to 3 meet up," Varsha asked.

I thought for some time and then replied, "Then let me inform this to mom and we will have our food outside,"

I called mom and told her this. She tried to convince me, but I explained to her their uncomfortableness. She accepted, but invited them at least for the meetup. I accepted and disconnected the call.

After they reached the apartment, Kamiya called Karthick for the keys. Subsequently, Karthick came with the keys. He is wearing formals. His height is 6'0' and his skin color is dusky. Overall, he is looking good. Kamiya introduced her friends to Karthick.

Then, they all kept the luggage in the apartment and locked it again.

Karthick asked, " Where are you guys going?"

"Anna, we are going to have our breakfast outside. Do you know any good nearby hotel?" Kamiya asked him.

Immediately, Ishu slapped Kamiya's head lightly.

" If you didn't have your breakfast, then can you join us, Anna?" Ishu requested Karthick. Then, she glared at Kamiya and Kamiya sheepishly smiled as she forgets to invite him.

" No ma, I will have it later. Now, You guys go. I will share with you the address of the hotel in the watsapp," Karthick told.

" Sorry, Anna. It is my mistake that I forgot to invite you. Please come," Kamiya told.

" No, Sis. It's not like that. I can totally understand that. Sometimes it happens. I am not coming because I need to go office right," Karthick explained.

"You can have your breakfast and go. Please," Kamiya requested again.

Karthick nodded, "Ok, Sis. You guys go and wait in the parking. I will come in a few minutes as I need to take my keys,"

"You can join with us in the car itself, Anna," Ishu told.

" No, ma. If I come on my bike, then I will start to the office from there," Karthick told. Ishu and Kamiya nodded at him.

So they came to the parking after he left and got seated in the car. Meanwhile, Varsha doesn't know why? But she is becoming nervous whenever she sees Karthick. She doesn't try to speak with him after the simple 'hi'.

Varsha can't able to understand her own behavior. She is very confused about herself. She tried to call him 'Anna' like her friends, but she can't.

After Karthick came, he asked them to follow him. Likewise, they reached the hotel.

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

IN THE HOTEL

Author's Pov

Karthick asked for their order and went to stand at the counter. Kamiya too came and stand with him as she doesn't want him to pay for all.

"I know why you are standing here? If you are really thinking of me as your brother, then you will let me pay," Karthick told Kamiya.

Kamiya went back to the table as she doesn't want her brother to feel bad. Yes, she thinks Karthick like her own brother.

Karthick came back to the table after paying the bill, Server came and got the bill from him. Kamiya and Varsha are sitting on one side. Ishu is sitting opposite to Varsha and Karthick is sitting opposite to Kamiya.

After a few minutes, the server served their orders and they started to have their breakfast with the random talk. Varsha is sitting silently all the while.

Suddenly Karthick remembered something, then he explained the Arjun plan to them. Kamiya is very happy as she liked his plan and she knows that he will win her challenge.

" Did Swetha know about this?" Varsha asked.

" No," Karthick replied.

"Then, It will be better. We can't let him reveal this before Arjun Anna completes his work," Ishu told and Karthick nodded at her.

"Yes, Anna. Maybe you just ask him regarding this," Kamiya said

Karthick replied, "Ok. I will do that today after office,"

Suddenly, Kamiya asked, "Are you committed, Anna? I thought to ask you this before itself, but every time it slipped out of my mind,"

" No," He said with a sad smile.

" Is there anything that I need to know Anna?" Kamiya asked.

" Nothing ma," Karthick said without looking at her.

"I am your sister right. Please tell me," Kamiya asked.

He can't deny her anymore, so he said, "I loved one girl sincerely. When I proposed to her recently, she rejected me. I remembered that suddenly. That's why..... you know,"

" You can make her understand your feeling right," Ishu told.

"No, she told me that she is looking at me as a brother," Karthick sadly smiled.

All this while, Varsha is staring at him without blinking like she wants to know what is running inside him. She wants to console him, but she can't. Ishu and Kamiya noticed the disturbed expression on Varsha's face. But, they decided to discuss this later.

After some time he got a call from his office, So he went after finishing his breakfast.

" Is there anything that we have to know, Varsha?" Ishu asked Varsha with narrow eyes.

"Yes, this is not our Varsha," Kamiya stated.

"I......... I too don't know," Varsha stuttered.

"Do you have any feelings towards Karthick Anna?" Ishu asked.

"I don't know.... What is happening to me? Give me some time. I need to think," Varsha said holding her head.

" Ok. Ok. Leave it. Don't think about that now. We will speak about that later," Kamiya said.

Varsha lightly smiled at that. Ishu and Kamiya are not satisfied with her answer, but they thought to give her some time to think.

All of the sudden, Kamiya tensed looking at the hotel entrance.

"Oh my god," Kamiya uttered.

" What happened?" Ishu asked.

" That......... That....." Kamiya stuttered without turning.

" Why are you stuttering now?" Varsha asked and turned to look at the same place where Kamiya is staring.

Akhil is standing there as he is speaking with someone in the call. When Varsha and Kamiya turned to look at Ishu.

Ishu is also looking there without blinking as a tear stung her eyes. Varsha and Ishu looking at each other with a tensed look as they didn't expect this. They are scared of Ishu's reaction.

" Don't Worry. When I planned to come here, I know that I need to face these things. I am prepared for this," Ishu told with a blank face looking at both of them. Though She is crying inside, she doesn't want her friends to feel for her.

Varsha and Kamiya can understand her friend's feeling, but Varsha wants her to face this strongly

.

"Kamiya, call him here," Varsha told, and Ishu aghast at her.

" Ishu, you need to face this in the future, then why not now? You can do it. Trust me," Varsha told and Ishu nodded without any option.

" Call him," Varsha told Kamiya.

" Are you sure, Varsha?" Kamiya asked and Varsha nodded confidently.

" Akhil Anna... Akhil Anna," Kamiya called him. He too turned and waved at her.

"Come here, Anna," Kamiya told.

"Coming, Two minutes. Swetha is on the way," Akhil told. Ishu got stiff at his words, but kept a blank face for her friends.

" Swetha is also coming. Can we leave now?" Kamiya asked Varsha as she looks at Ishu as she doesn't want to hurt her friend.

" I am strong, Kamiya. You don't have to worry, I can manage," Ishu told.

After a few minutes, Akhil came with Swetha. Swetha seated next to Ishu and Akhil got seated between Kamiya and Swetha.

" Hi Kamiya," Akhil and Swetha said at a time. Then only, Akhil noticed Ishu and kept staring at her without blinking.

Ishu is also staring or we can say glaring at him.

Varsha and Kamiya are appalled at Akhil's reaction as they are expecting him to be shocked, but here he is looking like he is longing for her. Ishu turned away and kept a blank face as she looking at the table.

After a few minutes, Akhil turned away as if he realized something suddenly. He kept a blank face after that.

" Hi Anna, Hi Swetha. These are my friends who came from Chennai to stay here as I want them to support me now. This is Varsha and this is Ishu," Kamiya Introduced them. Swetha said "Hi," to both of them.

Akhil said "Hi," looking at Varsha alone. And Ishu too nodded at Swetha alone.

" So, they know our plan right," Swetha asked and Kamiya nodded.

" Actually, we thought to call you today. But, before that we coincidentally met here," Swetha told.

" For What?" Kamiya asked.

"I think Arjun is planning something seriously. When I went to meet him in his office the day before yesterday. He told me that he is busy with some work. When I asked him about the work. He told me that it is a surprise and will reveal when the correct time comes.

We want to know his plan. For that, Akhil thought to discuss with you," Swetha explained.

Kamiya thought for some time, then smirked as she planned something to divert them.

" No, let him plan. I will destroy his plan in the nick of time. Then only, he can't make another one immediately," Kamiya smirked thinking that how she is going to destroy Akhil's Plan.

"That's super right, Akhil," Swetha asked.

"Akhil," Swetha called him again as she is not getting any response from him.

"Yes," He said absent-mindedly.

"See. He is also ok with your plan," Swetha told and Kamiya nodded, but she can understand that he is not listening to her.

After seeing Akhil reaction, Varsha is very confused as she didn't expect this expression from him. She is thinking deeply about what to do?

" Akhil, give me your card. I am going to place an order at the counter," Swetha asked and Akhil took out his wallet.

" So, why are you guys sitting awkwardly. Are you feeling awkward because of Akhil? Then don't. Like Kamiya, you both can also call him 'Anna'. Then you won't.." Akhil cuts her off and uttered, "No,"

Ishu immediately looked at him and Swetha is looking at Akhil confused. But Varsha and Kamiya are looking shocked at something else.

When he said 'no', he dropped his wallet unconsciously. His things and all slipped from the wallet. One passport size picture also slipped out.

Varsha and Kamiya are shocked at that picture only because that is Ishu's Picture.
