Hi, my lovely readers.

Thank you so much for all the love and support you've been showering on me.

Well, I just want to know something from you all. Do you think that this story is a love triangle or just a normal love story?

Well, I've already kept the plot ready but just wanted to know from you all...would you all like to see a tug of war between Akash and Mohit for Siya? Do you think it'll be interesting?

Please comment and let me know.

Also, this whole chapter will be in Akash's POV

So here's today's update. Enjoy reading.

Akash's POV

I was eagerly waiting for the classes to get over so that I could meet Siya again.

I don't know what has happened to me. I just can't keep my mind off her. Her innocent looks, her big eyes, her slim waist...oh my god I think I shouldn't think more otherwise I'll not be able to keep my pervert mind in check.

As the last lecture got over, Samaira went away without even talking to me or Sid.

I think she is angry with me. Well good for her. Nobody gets to treat Siya like this.

"Hey what happened to her" Sid asked me.

"I don't know maybe she had some work," I said.

"Dude I think she felt bad that you scolded her. I think you shouldn't have been so rude to her" I said to him.

"Whatever I said she deserved it. Nobody should mess with my Si...I mean Siya."

"Hmm...okay. I understood. Nobody will mess with 'your Siya'. I'll make sure of it" Sid replied teasing me.

I just rolled my eyes at it.

"Come. Let's go to meet them " I said.

"Oh come on dude we just met them today morning. Why do we have to meet them again?" Sid replied.

"To make sure that nobody troubles them. Don't forget that they are freshers and anybody could come and trouble them. Kriti is like my sister. I can't see her getting into any sort of problems" I replied.

" Akash are you concerned about Kriti or Siya," Sid said raising his eyebrows.

"If you aren't interested then it's fine with me. I can go to them alone. I've only asked you to accompany me that doesn't mean you've to ask me questions" I said and left him.

When I was walking to their class, Sid followed me. I knew he would come to me. We've been friends for ages and I know we both will never leave each other.

Reaching their classroom, I saw both of them coming out.

When their eyes fell on us, Kriti said "Hey Akash bhaiya you again"

"Yes, we again" Sid replied cutting me off.

"I didn't ask you I asked Akash bhaiya" Kriti replied glaring at Sid.

"So what you got the answer to your question right. How does it matter who replied it." Sid asked teasing her.

"Of course it matters because I asked Akash bhaiya not you" she replied again.

They both were bantering among themselves and I saw Siya behind Kriti, her eyes repeatedly going from Sid to Kriti and Kriti to Sid, as they continued their banter.

I saw how innocent she looked, so pure. Then her eyes met mine and she quickly averted her gaze and looked down.

What is with her, always looking down when all I want to do is just drown in those beautiful doe-like eyes.

"Is there some beautiful design on the floor Siya?" I asked her.

As soon as I took her name, she shot her head up and all 3 of us were looking at her.

"No" she replied.

"Then why do you always look down when I look at you," I asked.

When I didn't get any reply from her and saw her still looking at me I asked again "Are you scared of me. Do I look like a ghost to you?" I asked again.

"No, not at all. It's just that I am not very comfortable talking to strangers" she replied.

So she's introverted.

"I don't think we are strangers. We've met today morning" I replied.

"But even then I don't know you" she replied.

Okay, fair enough. We didn't get a chance to meet each other properly. I thought of introducing myself to her again.

Extending my hand for a handshake, I said "Hi I am Akash Sharma. Your senior and as you already know, Kriti and I are family friends".

She extended her hand and kept them in mine. Her palms are so soft. I felt like kissing them instantly but I couldn't do it, at least not yet.

"Hi, I am Siya Verma" she introduced herself shyly.

I loved the pink shade on her cheeks while she introduced herself. Oh my god, she just blushed.

Pink is my favorite color now.

She then took her hands away from mine and I instantly missed the warmth of her soft hands.

"Hi I am Siddharth Chaturvedi," Sid said, extending his hand.

When she was about to take his hand for a handshake, I pinched Sid and he took his hands back.

Startled by my pinch, he glared at me and I silently warned him not to take her hands for a handshake.

Kriti cleared her throat, gaining everybody's attention.

"Akash bhaiya I think we should leave now. It is already past 6 and if we don't reach our hostel on time, we'll not get our evening snacks" Kriti said, turning to me.

"Oh okay. If you want we can walk you both to the hostel, right Sid" I asked turning to Sid.

He nodded his head in agreement.

Kriti and Siya both nodded their head and we accompanied both of them to their hostel.

I heard Kriti singing 'Kuch to Hua hai Kuch ho Gaya hai' from the movie Kal ho Na ho when we started walking to their hostel.

The cherry on top even Sid was accompanying her in singing.

Did I tell you they both are terrible at singing? If they both Audition for Indian idols, I would be glad when Anu Malik insults them. I'll personally thank him if he does so.

I could see Siya getting uncomfortable with their singing. I don't know if it was because of the lyrics or their singing.

To ease the situation I asked Siya "so how was your first day in college".

"It was good" she replied looking straight on the road.

"Bhaiya you didn't ask me how was my first day in college" Kriti replied showing fake hurt.

"How was your day Kriti," Sid asked her, irritating her again.

"Do you have a habit of interrupting everybody or is it something special with me?" she asked glaring at Sid.

"Oh believe me it is always special when it is you," Sid said to her.

"Stop flirting it doesn't suit you," she said to Sid.

"Then tell me Kriti what do you think suits me," Sid asked, irritating her again.

"Enough Sid, stop irritating her," I said to Sid, asking him to keep his mouth shut.

But who am I talking to? They both continued their banter.

Deciding to give my attention to Siya who was walking by my side now I asked her "So tell me Siya, who all are there in your family".

She looked at me and said "it's just me and my parents"

"So no siblings," I asked her.

"No, I am the only child," she said.

"Oh, then you must be pampered a lot. I've heard that single children are pampered quite a lot" I said to ease her but I saw her expression change instantly. Did I say something wrong?

"We are here" Kriti announced as we reached their hostel.

I wanted to get more time with Siya so that I could dig out if something is bothering her but decided against it.

I know I need to take baby steps with her. As it is she is already introverted. I don't want to make her more uncomfortable.

We bid our goodbyes and exchanged no. with Kriti.

I wanted to take Siya's no. as well but decided not to do so.

There'll be a day when she will give me her no. and I'll patiently wait for it. I don't want to scare her off and giving her an impression of roadside Romeo was the last thing on my mind when it comes to her.

Dropping them off, we went to our apartment and as usual, Sid was teasing me like hell.

While having dinner, Sid, sounding all serious said "Hey dude jokes apart. Do you like her or is it just some kind of infatuation?"

Deciding there is no way I can escape his questions now, I answered him what was in my heart " Sid I don't know. When I saw her in the morning today for the first time, I felt an instant connection with her.

I feel like when I don't see her my heart isn't at ease and when I see her, relief washes over me. Whenever I see her I feel an instant urge to protect her from this cruel world.

I just want to see her happy. That's how I feel."

When I looked at Sid again he was looking at me in disbelief like I've grown 2 heads.

"Dude, I just wanted you to get attracted to some girl, not write poems for her. Are you sure you haven't become a majnu" he said with a goofy smile on his lips?

"What nonsense. Tera bhai kabhi majnu ya Devdas ni banega.

(Your brother will neither be a majnu nor Devdas)

"Good then I am going to offer prasad in the temple," Sid said.

"For what," I asked him getting confused.

"For clearing my confusion today that you are not gay," he said and ran away.

I laughed hard shaking my head at his cute antics. I called Kriti to check her whereabouts and also to find out if our classes time will remain the same or not.

With the thought of meeting her again tomorrow, I went to sleep.
