14. Unsettling Feeling

Mahi's POV:

We reached the agency building, and I went straight to our practice room, ignoring Kabir. I entered the room and everyone was already there.

"Jam why you even tried coming here, I am sure you must be tired due to your hangover from last night." Sameer taunted me as soon as he saw me entering the room.

"Shut that fool like mouth of yours Sameer if you don't want to die today." I said in a bored tone and took my guitar out of my guitar bag.

"Chill guys, we need both of you to live for the show." Karan said, Sameer and I both rolled our eyes at his words.

We kept practicing till lunch time. "Guys I am hungry, let's go and grab something from canteen." Rishi stood up from his place and left with Karan. Sameer came and took a seat beside me.

"Have you heard from Nitya?" He asked in a slow voice.

"Why do you want to know about her?" I said without looking at him. I remember how he shouted at Nitya last night and she didn't tell me about it but I won't let him slide this easily.

"I called her but she is not picking up, I know she already must have told you about last light. I didn't want to shout at her like that but the situation was like that and I lost control. I know it's my fault and I am sorry about it." He said all in one breath.

"Sameer if you are sorry then you should say it to her and not me. You guys fight all the time and I really don't understand what is wrong with both of you." I stood up from my place and made my way to the exit.

"And she called me in the morning but didn't say anything about you, so now you better know what to do or else you know what I will do." I left the room after saying it.

My phone started to ring, I smiled as the screen showed Grandpa. I picked up the call and heard his voice. "How's my princess doing?"

"I am doing great, how are you doing?" I asked.

"I am fit and fine as always." He said and I can sense he is smiling.

"That's my Grandpa but I miss you a lot." I whined.

"I miss my princess too but don't worry I will meet you soon." He replied.

"You are coming to my show right?" I am sure he will but I need to ask to be confirmed.

"Of course I will. How can I miss my princess's first music show?" I smiled at his words and Karan called for me.

"You are the best. Ah I need to go now, see you soon and yea take care." I hung up the call and made my way to canteen, taking a seat beside Karan

There was a girl continuously looking at Karan and he too saw it but ignored her. "I think she is interested in you." I said and took a bite of my Vada pav.

"But I am not." He replied nonchalantly.

"Iska kuch nahi ho sakta." Rishi said and Karan glared. (He is hopeless.)

Everyone started looking outside of the canteen. "What is going on?" Why does everyone seem so interested?

"Shreya Mishra is here." One girl said to the girl sitting beside her.

"She must be her for Mr Mehra. One more photo of them going on a secret date went viral" The other girl replied giggling.

"I don't understand why they don't make their relationship official? Everyone already knows that they are dating." The first girl said.

"They must have their own reason or they might not be dating who knows." The third girl spoke. He is indeed famous, everyone wants to know everything about him.

"What do you think they are dating or not?" Rishi asked me and I raised my eyebrows.

"Why are you asking me how I would know?" I don't know anything about him.

"He is a famous personality and you are living in his house so you must know something." Rishi asked as he looked at me.

"Even though I live in his house, I like to mind my own business and don't speak loudly. What if someone hears you? His fans will make another rumor." Rishi kept a finger on his lips and I rolled my eyes.

"Where is Sameer?" Karan asked when he didn't see him.

"I don't know. Let's go back, we have a lot to do." We all went back to our practice room. Mr Mehra's secretary informed me that he wants to see me in his office. Now what he wants? I groaned in frustration and went toward his cabin.

I was about to knock when I heard him say, "Shreya next time if you want to come here please inform in advance I don't like uninvited guests."

"I just came here because of the photo, I am sorry it was my fault I should have been more careful." She replied.

"Good that you know. Also I will ask Akash to post a statement denying our dating rumor. It's best to not let them think any nonsense and It will be great if you can do the same. If that's all I would like to continue my work ." So they are not dating. He might not be like what people say about him.

Suddenly the door opened making me come back to reality. Shreya looked at me with narrow eyes but quickly put on a smile which seemed fake to me, I returned the smile and she left.

I entered his cabin just to see him with his signature smirk playing on his lips. "Were you eavesdropping, dolphin?" He must have seen me standing outside.

"Why would I do that? You were busy so I didn't disturbed you and waited for you to finish." I said looking anywhere but him.

"Whatever you say. I called you here because mom told me to take you to my cousin's engagement party tonight. We will leave at 6 from here so finish your practice by then." He said with his eyes still on his computer's screen.

"Buy why she asked me to go with you?" I asked confusingly.

"You should ask her that yourself." He looked at me for a second then again back to his computer screen. I left his cabin and dialed Aparna aunty's number. She picked up on the third ring.

"Hello Mahi beta everything alright?" She asked as soon as she picked up the call.

"Yea aunty everything is alright just wanted to ask, you told Mr Mehra to take me with him to his cousin's engagement party." I need to ask her.

"Oh yea I told him before I left the house this morning. I have an important seminar so I won't be able to attend the engagement. I asked him to take you with him or else you will be alone at home. Is it alright?"

"If you don't want to go, that's okay." She sounded concerned.

"No No I can go." I said as I didn't want to upset her.

"Ohh that's great then, also wear the dress which I bought for you that day, it will look perfect on you." She chirped in happiness and I could not deny her so I agreed. I ended the call and went back for practice.

Sameer's POV:

I know I was wrong and now I need to apologize to her or else Jam might kill me for real. It's 2 pm and it's her time to be at the library. I know this because she used to be in the library at this time when we were in college.

I reached the library and went inside. I looked here and there and saw her reading a book with her glasses settled on the bridge of her nose. I took my steps toward her and settled opposite to her.

"Hi Cupcake" She looked up from her book and our eyes met. The look of surprise, no shock was evident in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" She whisper yelled as we were in the library. I passed her the bag which I brought for her. When she looked into it she passed it back to me.

"Why won't you take it? They are your favorite strawberry cupcakes." I asked her but she kept her face straight.

"I know I should not have yelled at you last night. It was my fault. I am sorry." We always fought like mad kids but I never liked when doesn't talk to me or more like doesn't fight with me.

Teasing her makes life a little bit more interesting. We never were friends but more like the fight buddies. I like it when she makes those faces when she is annoyed by me and when she retorts back.

"Come on cupcake, I said I was sorry." I again said but she still remained silent. To get a reaction from her I took the book from hand.

"What the hell is your problem?" She almost yelled and the librarian warned us.

"I said I was sorry I shouldn't have done that without knowing that it was not your fault." I said running my hands through my hair in frustration.

"That's what you always do jumping to conclusions without even knowing anything." She said, raising her voice a little bit.

"What does that supposed to mean now?" I asked but she didn't reply. Instead she picked her bag and left.

I also stood up and went after her, picking up the bag of cupcakes. When we were out of the library, I grabbed her by her arm and pulled toward me. She kept her arms on my forearms to balance.

"What the hell is your problem Nitya?" I asked, I know it was my fault but she is not understanding either.

"You tell me what is your problem? I didn't ask you to come here, apologize to me or bring me these cupcakes. Why did you even bother yourself? It isn't like you care or anything." She said with her eyes piercing mine.

"Why do you hate me this much? What did I do so wrong?" I found myself asking because I really want to know what makes her hate me so much. I always felt she doesn't fight for fun like me. There is something more and it brings me an unsettling feeling whenever I think about it.

"You should ask that to yourself, Sameer Khanna." She scoffed and got out of my grip. She left without looking back and I was standing there thinking what in the world I have done wrong.
