Hey my lovely readers.

How are you all?

I am back again with a new chapter.

Hope you all are enjoying it a lot.

I just wanted to know whether the book is intriguing enough for you all or not as I am nit getting much views and comments.

It really hurts when my hardwork isn't appreciated.

Anyways, please listen to the song above, because it's a very beautiful song on friendship and this chapter will showcase Siya and Akash's view on their friendship towards Kriti and Sid respectively.

Let's begin with the chapter and mind you a lengthy chapter ahead (4.5k words)

Akash's POV

After my last conversation with Sid, I noticed that Kriti and Sid are not much in talking terms now.

I tried talking to Sid for reconsidering his decision of distancing himself from Kriti because I can't see my only friend hurting himself.

A month flew by and our results were announced.

Kriti topped the 1st year with highest CGPA followed by Siya.

I knew that both the girls are intelligent and I am so proud of them.

When the results were announced, I saw Sid was so happy for her but when it came to wishing her, he just went to his shell again.

Kriti was also not her usual cheerful self after he started avoiding her We all knew the reason but she kept avoiding it.

I so wanted to smack his head for putting Kriti through all this but I know, somewhere his insecurity was overpowering his love for her and with time, I just hope he realizes that he is making the biggest mistake of his life.

We just had 2 months to go for our final semester and then we would all be off to our homes, ready to start our career.

We had farewell for 4th year student just round the corner which obviously was being organized by 3rd year students with the help of 1st and 2nd year students and guess the dress code, of course-saree for girls and tux for boys.

The only thing they wanted help from me was with booking for venue as most of the 5 and 7 star hotels was owned by my dad and is now being taken care by my cousin Adarsh.

As this hotel belongs to my dad, I made sure that they didn't have to pay for this hall.

Juniors didn't know but there is a surprise waiting for them as well in the end from us, just a small return gift from our end for their gesture towards us.

Well me and Siya have been successful in keeping our relationship under wraps till now, thanks to my PR team. I must say, they are very much efficient.

Just few more months and then we don't have to bother about stupid media following us everywhere because we both will be in different cities, so the chances of us getting snapped will be quite minimal.

Soon the day of farewell arrived and I was as usual waiting for my darling to arrive as we all had been told that students living in hostel will arrive a little late.

As soon as we arrived the venue, we were shown the white board were all the seniors were supposed to write good wishes for juniors and later on it was supposed to be displayed outside the HOD's cabin.

(Akash's look)

(Sid's look)

Since I was the president of the branch, people were waiting for me to inaugurate it.

"I am quite impressed guys. Quite a unique idea. Congrats to all" I said and they all were so happy with my words that they all hugged me, one by one.

Sometimes, few words of motivation might seem nothing to us, but could mean the world to someone.

Followed by me, all my friends started writing their wishes and thoughts.

We were then made to sit on the couch and I was eagerly waiting for the girls to arrive.

There comes my queen in silver saree and her hair in curls, looking stunning as ever.

(Siya's look)

She just turned around a bit and my mouth hung open when her white and creamy back came to my view.

Fuck, where's the back of her blouse? Has she planned to kill me today or what?

God, I don't want to be her bodyguard today but seems, I can't leave her side today even for a minute.

My eyes went to Sid and I saw him staring at his queen, well not technically but ethically, yes.

(Kriti's look)

I saw his hands fisted and seems like he was controlling his anger.

I know this feeling of possessiveness. I can relate to it but the question is, how will he say to her about it. It's not like he has any rights on her.

When I made sure no one was looking at me and she was sitting alone on the chair, waiting for Kriti to come, I went to my Siya, my queen and whispered in her ears "you look gorgeous my queen."

She jerked her head towards me and kept her hands on her chest, trying to calm herself down, I think.

My eyes immediately went to her heaving chest. Those mounds, which I've tasted so many times by now. The view was enough to make me hard down there.

Fuck.

"God, you scared me" she said and I was immediately brought back from my filthy thoughts for her.

"Eyes up here, Mr." she snapped her fingers and I looked in her eyes, smiling sheepishly.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"Nothing" she just smiled and looked down, probably embarrassed and well aware of my thoughts for her.

"Oh sir and Siya, please pick up a mask" a 3rd year student probably, came to us and offered a tray full of masks.

"I never knew it was a Masquerade party" I said, surprised.

"Yes sir, we thought that our college never hosted a masquerade party, why not we be the first to host one?" he said, feeling proud of the idea.

"Of course, why not" I said and picked a mask for me and handed one to Siya.

"Hmmm...tell me honestly, did you get inspiration from fifty shades?" I asked him.

"Of course sir" he grinned.

Kids these days.

"When is the party supposed to start" I asked, placing the mask on my head.

"In about 10-15 minutes, sir. We are just waiting for few more seniors to arrive who are still busy signing on the board. Once they arrive, we'll start" he said and I nodded.

"Cool then" he smiled at both of us and went away.

"The arrangements are pretty good" I said as I roamed my eyes across the hall.

"Yes, they are" she said.

"Baby, I want to ask you something" she said and looked at me trying to place her mask on her head but failed as her curls weren't letting her to place the mask properly.

Yup, after I secured job, as per our deal, everyday I ask Siya to call me with different endearment and she gladly obliges. So endearment for today-baby.

I took her mask from her hand and while placing her mask on her head, she asked "What is fifty shades?"

I was stunned at her question and my hands stopped working on her mask.

"Hey bhaiya" Kriti chirped and sat beside me with a wide smile on her lips, which obviously didn't reach her eyes.

"Nothing" I said.

She narrowed her eyes at me but Siya spoke "I was just asking him what is fifty shades. You remember Kriti, few months back you told me to ask him about it and I totally forgot about it but then when we ere handed these masks today, Akash mentioned fifty shades and I remember it now. So I am asking him."

I narrowed my eyes at her and she smiled nervously "bhaiya, I am feeling thirsty. Should I bring juice for you as well?"

"So you are the culprit who's spoiling my innocent baby" I asked her.

"Hey, I am not innocent" Siya said, hitting my shoulder.

"Yes, she really isn't innocent" Kriti said and high fived Siya.

"We'll see" I said and took her outside the hall and when I came to an empty lobby I caged her between my arms and the wall.

"What" she asked innocently.

"You really want to know what is fifty shades?" I whispered in her ears, biting her earlobe.

She shuddered at my touch and spoke in a shivering voice "ye..yes."

I roamed my rough palms on her creamy back and said "you know, you've been a bad girl lately" and nuzzled my face on her neck and placed wet kisses.

"Wh..why?" she shivered and said "I am good girl."

"Oh really?" I asked with amusement in my eyes and I could feel my pupils dilated when her hardened tits came to my view.

"You know, how sensitive you are to my touch" I said and pinched her bare waist.

"Aka...Akash someone might see us" she said with great difficulty as she was trying hard to suppress her moan which where threatening to come out of her mouth.

I hate the fact that she's right. I so wanted to take her to my suite in this hotel and give her sweet torture for being a tease to me but, I can't do it since there are lot of media invited today for the event and I don't want to take any risks when it comes to her.

"I'll make you scream my name today baby" I whispered in her ears and with a final kiss on her bare shoulder, I left her.

She was still in daze but nonetheless, composed herself and quickly ran off to the hall.

When I was passing through the lobby I heard familiar voice coming up and it felt like they were arguing over something.

Was it Sid and Kriti?

I know I shouldn't eavesdrop but when it comes to Sid, I can't control myself.

I hid myself behind the pillar and my guess was right, it was both of them.

"Why the hell are you wearing such a revealing saree" he asked her and I could feel anger dripping from his voice.

She was caged in between his arms and the wall.

"Sid, let go, you are hurting me" she said, trying to free herself from his iron like grip and in the process I could see some of her bangles got broken.

"No, tell my why do you always have to wear such revealing dresses? Do you want to attract male attention or what?" he asked.

I felt like punching him in the guts for his statement. Kriti and attracting male attention? How could he think and say something so low of her.

She finally freed herself from him after lot of struggling but he held her hands again and pulled her to him.

"Why are you doing this Sid? What do you want?" she asked him, sounding defeated.

"I...I" he was at loss of words.

After waiting for a few seconds, when his answer didn't come, she said "can't answer me right? Then who gave you the right to question me and my dressing style?" she asked him.

Why do I feel like Kriti want him to accept his feelings for her but Sid was adamant as before.

He just looked down and left her wrist.

She scoffed and said "You know what, yes I want male attention. I am dying to give myself to someone today."

Sid fisted his hands and pulled her closer to him by her waist and said "you can't do that."

"Why?" her voice merely above whisper.

"Because...because that's not ethical. You shouldn't do anything before marriage" he said.

Kriti scoffed and asked "really Sid? Is that the reason?"

He just nodded, not meeting her gaze.

"You didn't even talk to me properly since the time we came from our vacations and out of nowhere, you came up today in front of me and you have the audacity to ask me about my saree? Why Sid, what do you think of yourself, huh?" she asked him, holding his collar.

His eyes immediately went to her wrist and he said, horrified "god Kriti, your wrist, it's bleeding."

She immediately snatched her hands from him and said "you know what Sid, this bleeding is nothing in comparison to the pain you've given to my heart, for an entire lifetime. Thank you for breaking it into million pieces. If me being with you bothers you so much, I'll make sure that I never bother you, ever. in. this. life. again" she said stressing each of her last words.

She turned around and I saw her wiping her tears which were falling continuously.

This is what I was afraid of. I knew Kriti will be heartbroken and I was right.

Without wasting anymore time, I went to hall and asked Siya to find Kriti.

She was confused a bit but obliged anyways.

I then went to the couch and shortly Sid followed and made his way towards me.

The party had already started and was just in the initial phase where the host was introducing all the professors and the HOD was giving speech but my mind suddenly drifted to Kriti.

She doesn't deserve this.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Sid's eyes were at the entrance. Probably, he was waiting for Kriti.

"Waiting for Kriti" I asked him. "Yes" he said and turned towards me, surprised "no..no of course not, why would I wait for her."

"Sure" I said and I had an immediate urge to punch him on the face.

"You'll regret it Sid, she loves you" I said and he turned away.

"You can't see her with anybody other than you and when she asks you the reason, you don't have the guts to answer it. Why?" I asked, turning towards him.

He just stared at me for a few seconds then said "Don't tell me you heard our conversation."

"Sid, I am fucking sick and tired to explain the same thing every time to you. You know, I had a little hope that you would understand her but seems you are too blind in your insecurity to notice how much you are hurting her. If you can't be with her, fine then, don't be with her but just stay away from her. I think it would hurt her less" I said.

"You are loosing a gem Sid" I said, sighing.

"I know, I am" he said, looking at the door from where Kriti and Siya just entered now.

This idiot won't talk to her.

Once all the lecturers had left, the real party began.

"Okay, so we've some games now. Let's start with quiz" the host said.

As usual, all the others were not at all interested but then the host said "guys guys, chill out, there's a twist in this quiz. There'll be pics displayed on the projector of some famous celebrities but the twist is, the faces will be a mixture of 2 faces. You need to identify both the celebrities."

All the juniors were in one team and 4th year students were in one team.

We all had a lot of fun and then after some fun games, we proceeded to dance floor but not before wearing our masks.

"Okay guys, the dance floor is all yours, choose your partners and jump on the floor" the host announced and then like madmen people started dancing.

I went to Siya and said "I need to dance with Kriti."

She nodded and went to Sid to dance with him and I searched Kriti to dance with me.

"Hey princess, may I have a dance with you?" I asked Kriti, bowing down.

She laughed a little but took my hands and then we went to the dance floor.

She kept her hands my shoulders and I kept my hands on her waist.

"You are looking stunning today, you know" I said to her.

"I know bhaiya, thanx" she said smirking.

"So me and Sid will be will probably be free after exams, waiting for our offer letter" I said.

Hearing his name, her face fell but she immediately masked it.

"Good bhaiya, I am so proud of you" she said beaming.

"What about Sid?" I asked her and her steps halted for a few seconds before she composed herself and masked her emotions.

"What about him?" she asked.

"I know, what's going on between you two" I said and she took her hands from my shoulder and said "please bhaiya, I don't want to talk about him."

"I know princess, but" before I could complete she said "you know what bhaiya? I think I should probably take his advice and move on."

"I am just sick of his bipolar nature. He is the one who doesn't want to talk to me and he is the one who doesn't let me talk to any male species in this college. When I ask him for answers, he doesn't say anything and when I ask him to stay away from me, he doesn't even look in my eyes. I don't know what does he want. It's like arrggghhh, I can't even explain what I am feeling right now" she said, getting irritated.

I just chuckled and said "everything will be alright."

"I think, I am loosing a friend" she said and glanced at Sid, who was staring back at her.

She looked down and sighing said "I'll go to Mohit bhaiya's mansion today. He'll pick me up in an hour."

"Why do you've to go there, I mean you could come to our flat and I can ask Siya to come along" I said but she interrupted me "no bhaiya, I can't be in the same air as him. He doesn't want me to be in same space as him. Anyways, there are just few days left before you both will head to your hometowns. I don't want him to feel suffocated in his last few days of college life because of me. I want all his last few days here to be tension free and that'll only happen when I am nowhere near him" she said and some tears made her way to her cheeks.

"Take care of him bhaiya. I know, once he gets out of this college, he'll never ever want to talk to me. I really don't know what mistake I did that he doesn't even want to spare a glance at me, I tried talking to him and I also tried figuring it out myself but nothing came to my mind. I just wanted to cherish our friendship my whole life but I guess, it isn't possible" she said and wiped her tears.

I could see Sid staring at her but duffer didn't even once came to calm her down, when he very well knew he is the reason for the state she is in.

"Bhaiya, did he ever mention anything to you, even by mistake, anything that you could recall after we came back from vacation like why is he upset from me or any mistake that I ever did which you think might have upset him" she asked me with hope in her eyes.

I could see how desperate she was to know any mistake that she did which affected their friendship but how can I say to her that he is hopelessly and madly in love with her but is sacred to admit his feelings in front of her.

I could never ever say these
