Chapter 9:

“The boys are coming later!” Shivaay informed me.
“Yeah yeah. Two more like you,” I said sarcastically.
“You’re so mean!” he replied.
We started cleaning his very messy room up since the boys are going to be here any minute now. I haven’t met them, actually, and I am a bit excited.
A few minutes later, we can hear voices calling Shivaay out.
“Here they are,” Shivaay whispered to me.
He danced as he went outside.
“Shivaay-Bhaiyya!” I heard them shout.

A few seconds later, I decided to go outside.
“You must be Annika!” Omkara said.
I nodded shyly.
“Shivaay has told us a lot about you,” the long haired one told me.
I raised an eyebrow at Shivaay.
“And what the hell are you telling them?” I asked while glaring at him.
“Hey! Chill. I told ’em you’re my best friend!” he replied while wrapping his arms on my shoulders.

“Shivaay?! I thought we have something special?!?!” Omkara said.
I burst in laughter. I didn’t know that Omkara Singh Oberoi was really true.
“So… it’s 6 pm. Where are we sleeping?” he asked.
“1 gets it in my room, and 1 in Annika’s room,” Shivaay casually replied.
“ANNIKA’S ROOM?!” they said in unison.
“Yup! I have a room here!” I replied.
“So yeah. How do we divide the rooms?” Rudra said.

“I’m with Shivaay!” Om said right away while Shivaay rolled his eyes.
“I want to be with Annika diiiii, please?” Rudy pleaded with his puppy dog eyes.
“Yeah,” I replied with a smile and watched as he bounced up and down.
“So that leaves me with Om” Shivaay said.
The boys headed to their rooms. Rudra and I went to my room here in Shivaay’s house.
“How come you have a room at this house?” he asked me.

(Omkara and Rudra live with Shivaay in US, it is their first trip to India. Even they both are quite famous due to their individual achievements and also because they’re Shivaay Singh Oberoi’s brothers.)
“Well, he has one at my house, too. We’re just so close, I guess,” I said.
Shivaay told me that the boys will be here until they leave which is the day after tomorrow. And yeah, tonight, I’ll be sleeping here since it’ll be their last day tomorrow. Their mom doesn’t mind me sleeping here. She will be at their other house a few blocks away, so we could have this one on our own.

“So I’ll be sleeping on the couch,” Rudra said, being as gentleman as ever.
“No. You sleep on the bed. I don’t mind though,” I replied.
Rudra smiled at me. Why does he have to be so cute?
“Is it true that you have a girlfriend?” I asked.
His face turned very red and he bowed his head.
“I guess that’s a ‘yes’,” I teased.
“Uh, yeah,” he replied shyly.

“Tell me about her?” I said.
“She’s Soumya. She’s the prettiest girl I have ever seen. She lets me lie on her lap while she sings my favorite song and I play with her fingers. She calls me by my name, but makes it sound so sweet. Every move she does just makes her more and more beautiful. Just seeing her smile completes my every day. She’s just… someone I can’t imagine living without. And yeah, she’s everything I need,” he muttered.

(Well, I personally like Neha as Rudra’s lead. Even though the new girl is nice but I like Soumya.)
I wasn’t able to form any response in my head. Whoever that girl is, she’s very lucky. I know Rudra loves her truly. With the spark in his eyes, I can see it.
“What about you? D’you have a boyfriend?” he suddenly asked.
“Nah,” I said.

“But why?” he said.
“Well, uh… the one I like doesn’t feel the same way?” I blabbered unsurely.
“Huh? Tell me about him?” he said, saying the exact thing I told him a while ago.
I nodded. There’s nothing wrong with telling Rudra, right?
“He’s someone I’ve always had the crush on. But who knows that a simple crush can turn to a deep feeling. He keeps on telling me how beautiful I am, inside and out. He makes me feel the most special girl in the universe. He never fails to make me smile. I love him, I really do, but he’s just so far. It’s somewhat impossible for me to reach him. He’s out of my league. Well, let’s just say… he’s a heartbeat away, and I’ll never reach him, I’m his unknown heartbeat.”

He just looked at me.
“He’s lucky,” he finally said.
“Huh?” I asked, trying to make him elaborate what he just replied.
“You love him, and really, I can’t see his point of not loving you back. Every boy in the world would dream of having a girlfriend who loves them as much as you love him.” he said.
“I haven’t told him, so therefore, he doesn’t know,” I replied.

“Oh. You should go and tell him. Look, I’m sure something good will happens. Trust me,” he suggested with a smile.
Should I?
