*Khushal Pov*
"So what is happening Khushal? You have not at all done any work before one month but now you doing nothing except this?" One guy whom got defeated yesterday asked looking at me.
I shrugged because I too don't know how could I miss doing all this those days but after just breaking off the deal with her I am doing nothing but this.
"Heard that you found some girl?" Anil suddenly asked.
"Where did you find that out from?" I asked him completely shocked.
"Well few of us wanted to come and meet you at your college to know the reason for not lifting your phone and for not accepting any work. When we did we saw her on your bike." He replied.
"Look there is no one. Now I am here right so just tell me what my work is." I said glaring at him and cursing myself.
"There! Those two guys wanted to fight with you and defeat you. Everyone even raised their bets to the double thinking you will lose as there are two guys." Anil said and I just looked at those two guys who are already looking at me.
"Everyone is going to lose their money." Saying that I tied the cloth properly to my palms.
"Hope so!" Anil whispered making me glare at him.
I walked towards the backside of the club and stood infront of them. They both were just smirking at me.
"You are going to die for humiliating our cousin." One guy said pointing out a guy standing at the side.
I remember him very clearly. He was the one who fell one with just three punches.
"It is not my fault that he came near me to have video game fight." I said shrugging and they both glared at me.
"Let's begin!" The guy who is referee shouted and we both I mean we three got involved in our fight.
*Sanjay Pov*
"This is so boring." I said looking around the club.
"Is he having some fever or what?" Giri asked placing his hand on my forehead.
"Yeah he is having someone's fever." Harsha replied chuckling making me roll my eyes.
"You know she is different you see. She is like.. like the sunshine you see." I started telling them thinking about Kritika.
"Yup! We are seeing you watching that sunshine everyday." Giri said making me groan.
"Shut up guys! I should have never stopped talking to her." I said remembering my mistake.
"We know that." Harsha said patting my shoulder.
"So want to have a dance?" A girl reached near us and asked Harsha.
"He is taken." I replied smiling at her.
"So do you want to dance?" She asked Giri.
"He is also taken." I replied again smiling.
"Ok! Will you dance?" She asked sighing.
"He is going to be taken." Harsha and Giri replied at a time.
When she looked at us shocked we three burst out laughing. She just walked away muttering 'Jerks'.
"What is this Sanjay? If we try to flirt then we are jerks and if we do not want to flirt then also we are jerks?" Harsha asked looking at me.
"Yeah! See how she called us that when we just didn't want to dance." Giri said shaking his head.
"These are girl's guys. We can never understand them." I said placing my two hands on them like I am blessing.
"Such a original dialogue." Harsha said sarcastically.
"Guys look! She is complaining about us to some bartender." Giri suddenly said and we saw that girl pointing at us talking to the bartender.
"We are dead!" I muttered.
"Yes! Even more because our ID's are fake. Let's jump from here." Harsha said and we three ran away from there and passed the back door.
But saw few guys already coming towards us and we gulped continuing our running. When we went backside we saw some crowd dispersing and saw someone collecting money.
"Looks like there was a fight here." I said looking around.
"How I wish we watched it?" Harsha mumbled.
We hide ourselves between the crowds and was about to pass when we heard the groans. We turned to the dark alley to see some three guys beating a single guy.
"Hey!" I shouted at them and they immediately ran away.
I walked near the guy to see him little unconscious but has few wounds on his hands and then saw his face to only get stunned.
"It is Khushal!" Giri whispered.
"I can see that!" I whispered back.
"They must have gone this side." Someone shouted and we three looked at each other.
"Pick him up!" I said and they both looked confused but picked him up.
We three walked out of the alley holding Bhai and started leaving the club but got stopped by two guys.
"Where are you going?" they asked us.
"He got beaten up in the fight which just happened here. We are taking him home." I said looking at him.
"Ok leave!" they said and we immediately left the club hurriedly still holding Bhai.
I sat on my bike and they both made Bhai sit behind me. I held his hands around my waist and started driving carefully while my friends followed me.
When I stopped near my house, I turned towards them and said "You both can leave. I will see what to do with him."
"Are you sure?" Harsha asked and I nodded.
I got down from my Bike and also got him down. I was about to take him inside our house but then remembered how Dad may react.
I walked little back and heard him groaning "What are you doing?"
"Just shut up and let me think." I said trying to find a way.
"How dare you to talk to me like that?" He asked in whisper and very weakly.
I just rolled my eyes at him behavior even in unconscious state. Then I glanced at Kritika's house and got an idea.
She said she is his fan right? So I am sure she will love to help him.
So I walked inside her house gate and knocked on the door. I held Khushal so that he will not fall down or something.
"Whose is this?" He asked trying to open his eyes more.
I was about to reply but the door was opened only to hear a long shriek from Kritika who opened the door.
"What happened? Is he dead?" She asked trembling.
"No! Can you help me?" I asked her.
She nodded and helped me to bring him inside. Then I saw her elder standing near the stairs in shock.
"What happened to him?" She asked worriedly.
"He got into a fight. Do you know about him and me?" I added my question and they both nodded.
I am surprised but I thought she must have known as Bhai used to be her shadow before few weeks.
"Can you guys help me in first aid? I don't know how to do it and if I take him to our house then Dad will react so much." I pleaded them.
Then I saw Kritika still trembling and I looked at Akhila Di in confusion. She made Kritika sit down on the couch and gave her a glass of water.
"She just doesn't like to watch blood. She will be terrified." Akhila Di said and I nodded at her understanding.
"We will take him to my room. Otherwise she will not calm down." She said worried looking at both Kritika and Bhai.
I nodded and with her help I took him to her room I guess. After making him sit on the bed I held his shoulders until she came back bringing the first aid box.
"Can I go and see how Kritika is doing? I am not much big help for you." I said scratching my head.
After few seconds she nodded and asking me to give Kritika some juice which is in the refrigerator.
I nodded and left her room to see Kritika still trembling holding herself. I brought some juice from the refrigerator and sat beside her.
"Here drink some." I said placing the glass near her mouth.
She took few sips but just closed her eyes fisting her hands. I placed the glass on the small table and sat there not knowing what to do.
I just suddenly pulled her into my arms and rubbed her back slowly. She just laid there and suddenly stilled.
"What are you doing?" she asked in whisper.
"Hugging you." I replied hugging her even more.
"Why?" She asked again.
"For you and.... For me." I replied honestly.
"Hmm.." She said and snuggled closer to me.
I smiled and just continued to hug her....
*Akhila Pov*
After I returned home from the company, Ritika suddenly entered the house and rushed to her room making both Kritika and me stunned.
When I knocked on her door asking what happened, she just mumbled she is not feeling well and want to sleep.
Then Kritika and I had our dinner and started going to our rooms but suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Before I could go back and open it Kritika opened the door and shrieked making me rush down the stairs.
She was asking something in whisper which I couldn't hear. Then she turned when I saw Sanjay holding Khushal who is brutally beaten and is also unconscious I guess.
When I saw that Kritika is trembling I remembered her fear for blood so I asked Sanjay to place Khushal in my room.
After Sanjay left I threw some water on his face hoping he will open his eyes but he didn't. So he is definitely unconscious.
I took the cotton and started cleaning the wounds with dettol water and hissed myself while he just sat there with me holding his shoulder from falling on the bed completely.
I suddenly bend down to take some more cotton when I remembered that I should hold him. So I immediately turned to see expecting him to lying on the bed but he is still sitting.
"You are in conscious state." I stated and continued cleaning his wounds on his hands now little along with hissing.
"Yes!" he mumbled.
I sighed and finished cleaning them and cleaned them again to apply some ointment. When I did I covered them with cotton and banded it with gauss cloth.
Then I moved up to tend to his face seeing him still closing his eyes. I cleaned the face again and then started applying ointment carefully when he suddenly opened his eyes making me gasp.
"Are you not going to ask me anything?" He asked frowning.
"About what?" I asked him back.
"About how I got these wounds." He replied.
"It is none of my business." I simply said and completed applying the ointment and then covering them with the cotton.
Then placed the surgical tape over the cotton on the wounds covering his face. Then I saw another wound on his neck and started tending it bending little over him.
He suddenly held my waist and I gasped. I calmly asked "What are you doing?"
"Nothing!" He replied making me roll my eyes.
"I really like to fight." He said and I just nodded while packing all the things inside the aid box.
"I don't want to leave it in any near time of my life." He added and again I just nodded.
"Don't you have anything to say other than nodding?" he asked frowning.
"What should I say? It is none my business so I am minding my business." I replied and returned to my room after placing the things back at their place.
"Are there any more wounds?" I asked looking at him.
"If it is not your business then why are you doing all this?" He asked looking at me back.
"For my sister! She doesn't like blood so I don't want her to get terrified by looking at your blood again." I replied and gave him a towel to cover his blooded shirt.
Without taking the towel he just stood up and held my wrist in his making me frown. I looked at him confused and he just looked at me without saying anything.
"I am sorry about today." He said.
"It's ok! You were right. I should have never put my step in your wishes. I just did it so that I will not feel guilty thinking I didn't try." I said shrugging and he suddenly pulled me close to him like too close.
"You are being too hard for a person who is hurt with lots of wounds." I said remembering his condition.
"They are just wounds which I got even after winning. Those idiots just did this when I turned my back and got my guard down." He said with anger in his eyes.
"Good for you! Now leave me." I said trying to release myself from his hold.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because you shouldn't hold me like this." I replied sighing.
"Then I shouldn't do this right?" He asked and before I could ask him what he is talking about he crashed his lips on mine.
I just looked at him wide eyes while he started nibbling my lips. I tried to back way but I just couldn't not because of his hold but because I didn't tried with my full effort.
I surrendered and started kissing him back making him pull me even closer to him. I don't know what is happening around me and I don't even want to know.
Everything came back when he released little hold on me and lips when we were both about to die of little breath.
I just felt my heart beating too fast and can feel his too as my hand is on his heart beat.
"Why?" I asked him frowning.
"Wanted to do that from the moment you kissed me on my cheek." he replied caressing my cheek.
"That was a peck." I said in whisper.
"Still..." he trailed off.
"I will meet you tomorrow." He said and started leaving but returned giving me a peck on the lips and then left.
I just sat on my bed looking at the way he just left. Did that just happened or is it my imagination?
Then I heard my phone ringing and I lifted it only to hear my Di asking "Akhi! I kissed him Akhi and that too two times. This is pretty fast right as we are dating only for one month?"
"I too kissed him Di. And comparing to me yours is completely the very best timing." I replied and hanged up still in daze.
I lay on my bed thinking how can I be so stupid to let him kiss me and also more stupid to kiss him back when we are not even a couple? I groaned thinking the reality and decided to just drift off into sleep forgetting all this.
*Khushal Pov*
After I kissed her I wanted to kiss her again, so I rushed outside her room and walked downstairs.
There I saw Sanjay and Kritika sleeping holding each other. These both are pair?
"Sanjay! Sanjay let's go." I said shaking him and he immediately opened his eyes.
He nodded and slowly removed himself from Kritika. He lifted her and got upstairs and went inside a bedroom.
How does he know which room is hers? I thought frowning.
After he returned we walked outside the house closing the door carefully and it immediately got locked.
When we walked outside their compound, I turned towards him and said "Thanks for bringing me here."
"Yeah I know Dad would have pounced on you and also on me for going to a club so I bought you here." He said nodding.
"Not for not taking me their but for taking me here only." I said shaking my head.
"Then thanks for getting injured." He said shrugging.
"Don't hurt her!" I said before I walk away.
"What?" He asked me shocked.
"She is good girl so don't hurt her. And thanks again." I replied and started walking away while he stood there in shock.
We will meet tomorrow Akhila. I thought thinking about what should I even say to her tomorrow. I shouldn't have kissed her without asking her....
