"You are the cause of all this Rudra" I hushed angrily at him. He was eating my new baked brownies. This time I tasted sugar and salt properly and now they are tasting like brownies. Trust me they are

He looked up from the tiffin as bits of brownies were stuck on his lips. I chuckled seeing him like this but I covered myself with my angry expression again.

I passed him a tissue paper, "clean yourself"

"I'm not the cause of all this, I didn't know my ex was this toxic" he shrugged and took the tissue paper from my hand and wiped his face.

"But seriously you should look after it" I said , "she always comes to me and says that I'm responsible to keep you away from her and to be honest that ruins the rest of my day"

His eyes softened and he let out a soft sigh. I know how he must be feeling, someone forcing you to patchup with them is so wrong if they are not willing to. I think Kiara is just with him to be in the spotlight of college, which looks so wrong. I was in my thoughts until I heard Rudra, "I'm sorry you have to go from this. I'll look into this for sure" he said.

"Yes please, I don't know if we are going to be friends but if there is a slightest chance of us being friends then please do so. I'm tired of this shipping" I said frustratingly.

"We are friends of course, and trust me I'll clear this all" he said assuring me, "even I'm tired of this shipping" he chuckled.

Who shipped me and him?

"Wait, wait who shipped us ?" I asked him suprised.

"A lot of people" he said and his cheeks turned into tomatoes. I wanted to know who shipped but it's fine if he doesn't want to reveal that. I don't mind.

"By the way, you didn't tell me why you were crying, the other day I came at your home" he said. Oh my god here we go again

I didn't want to tell him what happened that day but If he is asking I explained him why I was crying.

"And she said I was fat " I said the fat word in a very low voice because I don't want to humiliate myself tho I know he won't say the same but you never know what goes on in someone's mind.

He looked angry

To calm him down, I place my hand on his,

"I'm in a much better headspace now don't worry" I assured him.

"It's not about you being in a good headspace, no one deserves to be bullied, I swear to god if Kiara wasn't a girl I would have punched her" he said angrily and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"It's fine you can treat me with ice cream" I tried to lighten the atmosphere with my lame statement.

"Don't change the topic Preshtha" he was frustrated. He hung his bag on his left shoulder which made me ask him, "where are you going?"

"To give Kiara a lesson" he hushed angrily.

"I don't think she will understand as you have already yelled at her many times. Let's give her a another chance. If she does something which is wrong then we may take legal actions ok?" I questioned him rhetorically

"But you are not understanding this Bubble, she is a threat to our new friendship and I don't want this threat" I blushed hearing my nickname from him for the first time, my nickname from his mouth sounded more good as compared to others lol. Kartik must have told him about my nickname. I hate you Kartik.

"Nothing is going to happen okay? We are cautious already and she won't do anything more dangerous than bullying okay?" I said "and I defended myself that day. It's not like I'm a weak girl I'm strong" I said curling up my arm to calm him down which was in success

"Okay mataji " (goddess) he said as he joined his hand which made me laugh. Afterwards Manas & Ragini both hung out with us for a while and then we departed to our own homes.

To be honest, I liked this. Going to college was never this fun but now it seems to be tho I'm involved in some kinda drama but apart from that this definitely seemed fun. Hanging around with new friends is what I've wanted all my life and looks like I've finally manifested my soul tribe.

I was in train, I wanted to have my space that's why I didn't called shyam uncle to pick me up from college and Mumbai local trains have this unique energy which cannot be described, and, I wanted to feel that for now.

And to my advantage trains takes much lesser time to reach home as compared to car

Train halted within fifteen minutes, and to God's grace today's crowd is much lesser as compared to the normal days.

Or maybe it would be because of office hours may have not started yet.

I decide to take a cup of coffee at my favourite cafe which is near railway station.

I placed my order for a coffee and a cheese chilli toast. Oh god, I missed this for the whole month because OMAD didn't allowed me to.

I was seated on a chair with my earphones plugged listening to Shawn Mendes's. Tho most of his songs are sad, I love them. He is the international Arjith Singh.

I got a call from someone when I see the caller ID, it was Rudra. I smiled seeing his name.

I picked the call instantly.

"Hey" I cooed happily.

"Reached home?" He asked not even bothering to see how happy my voice sounds. Leave that, he didn't even greeted me a hello.

I let out a sigh, "Don't you have any manners?" I asked sipping my coffee which was just now placed in front of me.

"Preshtha, what do you mean?" He asked in his cold tone again. This cold tone definitely turned my mood off. Why is he even cold all the time?

Once he is this really cute caring guy and then he turns out to be cold, without any reason.

I returned from my train of thoughts and answered him, "its nothing, why did you called me?"

"Tell me" he said.

"It's nothing" I said

"Are you going to tell or shall I come at your home?" He again warned me with his tone.

"Go ahead, I'm not at my home" I casually answered him, "and by the way, change your cold tone towards me" I finally gave in and answered him.

"Preshtha no, my tone isn't cold. I just don't know this tone is habitual to me. I'd never be cold to someone like you, okay?" He assured me

"By the way, where are you?" He asked me.

What's with him asking my location my thoughts mocked me.

"I'm at my favourite cafe enjoying my coffee and a toast, why?" I asked him.

"Okay, go home safe. I just wanted to know where were you. I'll talk to you later." He said, giving me instructions like a parent gives to his kid.

"Okay, daddy" I said acting like a little girl, but then it hitted what I actually said

I heard him chuckle from the other side "Shit, I didn't mean that" I said immediately and cut the call. A blush crept on my cheeks and I couldn't stop blushing more.

I ate my cheese chilli toast as I kept on blushing
