6. FRIENDS REUNION

...........💓👀

And I can still see it all (In my mind)

All of you, all of me (Intertwined)

I once believed love would be (Black and white)

But it's golden (Golden)

And I can still see it all (In my head)

Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed)

I once believed love would be (Burning red)

But it's golden

Like daylight, like daylight

Like daylight, daylight

............💓👀

Aakriti's POV

What the actual fuck I saw ?

Wait... am I dreaming ?

How can she come so suddenly ?

My chain of thoughts broke when I saw shreyansh standing up and then I saw her face properly.

" Ouch !! " She hissed looking at her palm.

Shreyansh seems to be hesitant first but then forwarded his hand to her which she held in no seconds. He helped her in standing up.

Once she was on her feet. She looked at me and I raised my left eyebrow at her.

She smiled cheekily at me to which I rolled my eyes.

" Um...sorry I'll leave now " Shreyansh said and left. I nodded at him.

As I turned towards her I found her looking at shreyansh's fading figure with a slight mischievous smirk playing on her face.

I snapped my fingers and she came out of her lalaland.

" Ye item kon tha ? "

( Who was that hot chick ? )

She asked and if I am not wrong she was surely referring to shreyansh. My eyes widened at her.

Like wtf ?

She showed up after almost 3 years and when she came she is calling a random man hot chick whom she just saw ?

I glared at her and her eyes widened as she realised what the heck she just said.

" Um...Hey !! " She said sheepishly waving her hand weirdly making me glare at her more hard.

" Look I will apologize for everything one by one but please stop glaring at me. You know na you got the most dangerous eyes to stare with. So don't kill me and let me explain. "

She said more like convincing me to forgive her already.

" No way bitch. " I said and before I could grab her and beat the hell out of her she ran away.

And without wasting any more time I also ran after her.

" I am asking you to stop and listen to me once. " She yelled running towards the couch.

" First you disappeared without telling me. No calls no texts. Ever cared to inform me where the hell were you ? "

I said trying to catch her anyhow but she was fast enough. After all she was the marathon champion of our high school.

" And without ever bothering to inform me before coming in my office and meeting me directly you even started finding men hot here ? Hm ? "

I said still running behind her. And before I could ran more I felt a strong pain in my head. I stopped in my track and my hands automatically went up to grab my head.

Mishti also stopped and her eyes widened soon when she saw me. Without thinking she came in my direction and I smirked a little.

As she came more closer I held her hand and smirked at her. Her eyes widened when she understood that she is trapped in my little prank now.

" Now I'll beat the shit out of you. " I said and pushed her on the couch. She sat quietly making me confused.

She looked at me and I noticed her eyes were moist and teary.

My gaze softened at her. All the moments we spent started blurring my vision. My grip on her wrist loosened.

" I'm sorry " she said in a low voice. I feel guilty for not listening to her first. There must be a reason why she did all that. I should have understood first.

My trance broke when I felt her hands wrapping around my shoulders. She hugged me and in no seconds I could hear her low sobbings.

I too wrapped my hands around her. It felt very comforting. Sometimes when you feel stuck with problems you just need a hug from your bestfriend.

All the moments we spent started flashing infront of me. She came in my life when I needed someone to hold me.

Yes I was seeing her after 3 years but it didn't feel like anything.

She was my best companion and still she is. She was with me when I had no one by my side. She had done so much for me that I couldn't even describe in words.

" I am really sorry... I should have listened you first. " I said rubbing her back.

The only weakness of her is she gets emotional very soon. But that doesn't change the fact that she can be the most heartless bitch whenever needed.

She pulled back and held my hands in hers.

" How are you ? "

She asked and I felt like I don't have to act anymore. I can be in my real form in front of her because I know she won't judge me or won't look at me with sympathetic eyes.

" To be honest I'm really not okay babe "

I said wiping the corner of my eyes.

Her face didn't changed at all.

" Um... I know about your health. Prisha told me few days back when I called you and you were admitted in hospital. "

She said and somehow I felt that this may be the reason why she came all of sudden.

I felt like betrayed.

Why people have to show their love when you're sick or when it's your birthday.

I left her hands and stood up. But she held my hands again stopping me from going.

" So you'll only come when your friend will be sick ? Do I have to be sick all the time to make you guys stay with me ? "

I said. My voice trembled a little at the end.

" Aakriti...it's not like what you're thinking. I too wanted to come and meet you but I was compulsed. You know mom na ? "

She said refering to her mother and I immediately regreted on my recent actions. I sat back beside her.

" I know... sorry again " I said she smiled at me.

" How's your US company going ? Are you handling it well ? " I asked.

She is running a company in US and living there only with her mom.

" It's good... actually great. We are the most demanded clothing and fashion brand in business world of US. " She said.

" And I worked my ass off to archive that thing. And as a CEO I still have to handle so many things " she said further and I nodded smiling a little.

It reminded me of my own condition nowadays.

" I can understand " I said.

" Leave all that. First let's go and eat something I came here directly from airport. "

" Aunty didn't come along with you ? "

I asked and her smile fell off. I looked at her questioningly.

" Um...yes she came along and I need to tell you one more thing "

she said and I nodded actioning her to continue.

" Mom said she wants to live here in India only so... " She said

" So ? " I asked

" We are settling back in India only and we decided to open my company's branch in India. The USA one will be handled by my business partner and she can be trusted in this matter. "

She said and I went shock yet surprised. But being I very less expressive person I choose not to react much.

" Wow that's nice " I said showing her a thumbs up.

" Only nice ? I thought you will be very happy and will say ' wow really ? Mishti I am so happy ' and will hug me tightly "

she said mimicking old me. I chuckled a little and said.

" Understand like that only. I am happy "

I smiled a little. I'm not used to smiling a lot so I felt really strange whenever I smile more than needed.

" Oh gosh !! still the same grumpy woman I met last time"

She fake complained and I shook my head at her antics.

One more thing and her is, she is a big extrovert like she didn't even think once before saying anything. And upto that her dramatic nature. But this is what everyone likes about her. Her sunshiney and bubbly personality.

Probably few of toxic aunties call her outspoken and all... but does she care ? Absolutely fukin not.

" Whatever " I said and rolled my eyes at her. Being called grumpy rude arrogant cold etc etc are compliments now.

" Let's eat something first then I have some work to finish and until then you can stay in my office penthouse " I said as her mother must be flying to Kolkata their hometown.

" One more thing...why you didn't went Kolkata with aunty ? "

Her face went pale for a second but she hugged me sorry* literally jump on me from behind.

" How much questions you ask ? Let's take me somewhere outside to eat you richie bitch. " She said and dragged me outside with her.

I know she was hiding something. I mentally took note to ask her later.

I decided to visit the basement once after she'll go to the penthouse upstairs.

And I know that bastard isn't going to spill the truth this easily so I will have to dirten my hands a little. I smirked at the thought.

We entered the lift and pressed the button of ground floor and in the way Mishti didn't stopped blabbering about God knows what.

Still the same Mishti I met the first time.

I chuckled mentally and keep listening to her rants time to time.

We came out and I nodded to the employee who were bowing to me.

I walked further towards the exit but didn't felt her presence beside me. I looked here and there and found her stopped in her track few steps back.

But wait why she stopped ?

Maybe she's looking at something or someone ?

I followed her gaze and woah !!

She was looking at shreyansh with a smile mixed with a smirk who was talking to an employee.

I palmed my face at her creepy behaviour. And wow !! Now shreyansh was also looking at our direction. But as his eyes met hers he looked away immediately.

And even from far I can see his ears getting red. How can we forget that he is literally scared of being surrounded by women.I noticed him a few times getting uncomfortable and awkward around girls.

And one day when I asked him if he gets uncomfortable around girls then why the heck he is working with a female CEO to which he replied that I am like his sister and the women in our office literally ogle at him. Maybe that's what makes him uncomfortable.

Coming out of my trance I elbowed her and said.

" Stop eye raping him. " I then held her hand and made her walk outside of the office and she still didn't cared to stop ogling at him.

Seems like she is literally intrest in him.

And I don't think she'll stop now. She had a habit of winning the things she likes but this time maybe it's a person and although she is gonna live with me now so I don't think shreyansh would be able to work peacefully.

All the best shreyansh. I mentally wished him luck. My best friend is a psychopath for real. How shreyansh will live now ?
