Hey my lovely readers.

How are you all?

Are you all enjoying the book?

If the book is getting boring please let me know, I'll try adding some more fun elements.

Before beginning the chapter, special mention to my reader tanusrikumari for book cover. It really means a lot to me.

You took the pain of designing cover for me, the least I can do is dedicate this chapter to you.

Chapter dedicated to my lovely reader tanusrikumari. Hope you'll like it.

Let's begin with the chapter now.

Siya's POV

As soon as I bumped with him, my very first encounter with him flashed in front of me, like it just happened yesterday, even our position was almost same, him securing me by my waist so that I don't fall, the same eyes, staring back at me, like they want to look into my soul.

My heart was racing so fast, as if ready to run a marathon. He still has the same effect on me, even after all these years.

How much I love his eyes which used to have just love in them for me but now, they are cold, without any emotions.

Seeing his emotionless face, my heart ached.

"Ahem ahem" I heard a voice beside me.

No bonus points for guessing, it was Kriti.

I'll definitely kill her for interrupting me in my la la land.

"Sorry" I said and he also came out of his trance.

He still was holding me tightly by my waist, as if not ready to let me go.

I struggled a little but who am I kidding, I didn't want to get out of his hold.

"Akash, I think you need to let her go" Sid said.

He turned to face Sid and then turned his face again to look at me.

He slowly let me go and I immediately missed the warmth of his big hands.

"Of course, why not Sid, I've already let her go, like she wanted" he said, leaving me, taunting me sarcastically.

"Akash I..." I said but then stopped. What should I say to him? He is right, he has already let me go.

"Akash...you here?" a voice came from behind him.

We all turned to the direction and my eyes bulged out of my socket.

"Yes, we here. We came to have lunch" he said, turning to me.

"Hey you are the same girl I met day before yesterday right?" the girl said.

 "You've met her?" Akash asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes. She's the one whom I asked to vacate the table she was sitting on day before yesterday in the restaurant so that we could sit" she said.

"Hi...I am Sakshi" she said, forwarding her hands to me, probably for handshake.

We did a very formal handshake and then I said "hi, I am Siya."

"Siya, nice name" she said, eyeing Kriti.

I then saw her glaring back at Sakshi.

Sakshi was probably expecting her to introduce herself but she didn't.

"And you are....?" she trailed off.

"None of your concern" she replied, haughtily.

"Excuse me" she said in disbelief.

"I said..." she was saying but was cut off by Sid "she's Kriti, Kriti Singh." he said.

"Okay, but how do you know her name" she asked, getting confused.

"They both will be our trainees. We had a formal introduction yesterday so we got to know their name" he defended himself.

"You don't have to answer for me. I can answer for myself" she said to him.

"Yeah, I saw how you answered her" Sid to said to him.

"Why do you always..." she was saying but I pinched her from behind on her elbow.

"I think Kriti we should go. We're getting late for lunch" I said to her.

"Okay...why don't you both join us for lunch?" the girl, Sakshi offered us.

I was about to deny but Kriti beat me to it "yeah sure." 

I looked at her in disbelief.

"Cool" Sakshi said and linked her arms with Akash's elbow.

"Come Akash let's go" she said and went ahead with him leaving the three of us behind.

Tears welled up in my eyes but I blinked them away.

The worst part-Akash didn't protest even for once and went with her, without even looking back at me.

"Bitch" Kriti cursed under her breath but I heard it.

"Stop swearing on her" I said and dragged her with me.

Sid followed us but didn't say anything. 

We seated ourselves on the chair but I couldn't bring myself to look away from their linked arms.

He was just seated on my opposite and no matter how much ever I was trying to avoid looking at him, I just couldn't stop myself.

"What would you both like to have?" Akash asked us.

His voice was just like before, no changes at all.

"Anything of your choice" I said, not meeting his gaze and Kriti agreed.

"Let's look at today's menu and then we'll decide" Sakshi butted in and stood up, dragging Akash with him.

To my surprise, Sid stayed with us.

"So how are you both?" Sid asked, when Akash was out of sight.

"How do you expect us to be?" Kriti glared at him.

"You haven't changed at all" Sid said with amusement clear in his voice.

"Why would I change? I am not like other people who change themselves for no reason at all" Kriti said with venom in her voice.

"Kriti I think you need to calm down" I said, trying to sooth her by caressing her back. 

"Why should I? He has the audacity to still talk to me like that when this dumbhead here clearly knows that the reason behind our broken friendship is all his fault" she said with gritted teeth.

"Calm down. It's all in the past" I said.

"You...of all people in the world...Siya you are asking me to calm down when you very well know how I was feeling, how devastated I was when this man here had left me crying. I used to cry myself to sleep" she said pointing at Sid.

"I...I just wanted to know what my mistake was. I cried, I begged in front of him but this stone hearted man here, never told me why he went away leaving me" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Kriti I...I" Sid was saying but then Akash and Sakshi came back with our orders.

Kriti wiped her tears but I passed her a glass of water.

From the corner of my eyes I saw Akash's concerned eyes on Kriti and then he glared at Sid.

I think he figured out what must have happened.

"Here's your lunch" Sakshi said and placed our plates in front of us.

"Where's your plate?" I asked her.

"Oh...we thought of sharing" she said and pointed towards her and Akash.

Immediately a memory flashed in my mind.

"How are you going to finish all this food? I asked him, looking at the enormous food platter placed in front of us.

"Who said I am going to finish all this food? he said.

"What do you mean? Are you going to waste so much food?" I asked him in disbelief.

"Of course not. We shouldn't waste food. We'll finish it together" he said and fed me with the same spoon that he was eating from.

"You know eating from the same spoon and also sharing food will increase the love between us" he said.

"Oh is it Mr. Sharma?" I asked him.

"Yes, future Mrs. Sharma" he said, winking at me.

"You'll be the only one I'll be sharing my food and spoon with, ever" he said.

"Promise?" I said, feeding him.

"Promise" he said, munching the food I just placed in his mouth with the spoon.  

There was a time when we used to share food with each other and the promise...it's rightly said promises are meant to be broken.

But who am I to blame him?

Even I broke the promise that I would never leave him but eventually I did.

I didn't even realize when tears started flowing from my eyes.

"Hey, you fine?" Kriti whispered in my ear and I immediately blinked back my tears that were threatening to flow.

She handed me a glass of water and at the same time Akash asked me "so Kriti and your relation must have changed by now?" 

 "Why?" Kriti asked getting confused.

"She'll be your bhabhi (sister in law). Of course, if not now, in future. Right Siya?" he asked.

 I choked on the water I was drinking. 

After calming myself, I said "what?"

What is he talking about?

Akash's POV

I can't believe, she is in my arms.

But she isn't your anymore. My subconscious said.

I saw her still looking at me and it all felt like a Deja-vu. I felt like all of this has happened before.

Of course I remember, our first meet, her first day at college. How could I forget it?

When our trance broke, thanks to Sid, I was brought back to reality and I couldn't control my mouth and spilled the words which I knew hurt her but it was true...I let her go.

Suddenly Sakshi came out of nowhere and after formal introduction she linked our arms, which took me by surprise.

I need to talk to her...seems I need to warn her again to behave properly.

Without looking back, I went with her.

When we were a little far away from them I withdrew my arms and then warned her "stay away from me."    

"Oh come on Akash, it is just friendly gesture" she shrugged.

"I don't like this friendly gesture of yours" I said.

Then we seated ourselves and she forcefully took me with her for ordering for all of us.

"Why did you order four plates? We need five plates" I asked her.

"I don't feel like having much, so I'll share with you" she said.

"No you can't share with me" I said to her strictly.

"Oh come on Akash, it's just haring" she said.

"Stop this nonsense" I said but she took two plates in her hand and I took two plates in my hand.

Let's see how will she share the food.

Once on table, I saw Kriti wiping her tears.

I think they had some discussion behind my back.

I glared at Sid and he gave me an apologetic look.

When Siya asked about Sakshi's plate, she told that she would share from mine and I saw her face getting visibly pale.

I remember, I promised her once that she'll be the only one with whom I'll share my food and I'll keep my promise, no matter what.

I don't think she remembers it, but I remember each and every promise that I made to her and I'll abide by it.

"So Kriti and your relation must have changed by now?" I asked her.

 "Why?" Kriti asked getting confused.

"She'll be your bhabhi (sister in law). Of course, if not now, in future. Right Siya?" I asked.

She choked on her water but after composing herself, she said "what?"

I was a bit taken aback by her question but then, composing myself, I said "Mohit and you are still...dating right?" 

The words were stabbing my heart when I said them but then, I couldn't help but ask the question that was roaming on my mind since yesterday.

"Oh..aaa...hmmm" she said, looking down.

"Okay, so you both are still together?" I asked her the question which was nagging my mind.

She looked at Kriti but she gave her a blank expression.

She then turned towards me and stuttered "ye..yes"

Her confirmation broke my heart but I couldn't do anything but I noticed something...all this time she was looking down and when I asked the question, she stuttered.

"Who's Mohit?" Sakshi butted in.

"My brother" Kriti replied.

"So you mean Siya is dating your brother?" she asked to her.

She gave a look to Siya as if asking to explain and then I saw Siya giving a pleading look to her.

What's happening?

"Siya will explain everything" Kriti said, turning to Sakshi.

All four pair of eyes were on Siya now.

"Ye..yes I am dating him" she said, looking down.

"Okay...I can imagine how you people got close, through Kriti right? Kriti don't you think it was inappropriate? I mean, your friend and your brother dating?" Sakshi opened her useless mouth.

I could see Siya getting uncomfortable by this conversation.

"I don't think it's your business who my brother or Siya dates" she spat.

"I think you should learn how to talk" Sakshi said.

"Same applies to you" she said, glaring at her.

I didn't want another cat fight to start so I thought to interrupt them both but before that, Sid beat me to it.

"I think we all should've lunch" he said and directed to our respective lunch.

We were eating in silence and when Sakshi tried to take food from my plate I glared at her and said "I don't like to share what's mine. Get another plate for yourself."  

All the time I was looking at Siya and when I said those words, the corner of Siya's lips twitched a little, indicating that she smiled. I noticed it, even though she was looking down.

When she looked up, I saw her breathtaking smile which still stole my breath away.

I couldn't help but admire her beauty...same beautiful doe like eyes, same smile. She has really grown up...from a teenage girl to a beautiful young lady.

My thoughts instantly went to her feminine parts...her slender neck, her shoulders.

Then my eyes, suddenly went to her firm breasts...they've become...bigger? The last time I touched them they were so tender, so soft. I couldn't help but remember the last time when my tongue was giving pleasure to her clit. I wonder do still make her feel wet down there? My thoughts were immediately interrupted when my subconscious reminded me, stop looking at her you asshole.

Sakshi stood up to take another plate when I saw two legs were dangling and Sakshi didn't notice it and she fell down, attracting the attention of few of our neighboring tables.

I had an instant urge to laugh but I didn't, out of courtesy. But then I saw who did it.

Kriti...she looked at me and gave me a wink.

I stifled my laugh and turned to Sid who was still looking at Kriti with amusement.

Siya was as usual in shock but this girl Kriti is still the same...innocent, sweet, bubbly and still the same no nonsense girl.
