Sleepless nights.

"Rachit's point of view,"

"Sure, why not? But I have to go to the restroom first."

"Okay," I had already placed my order for my favorite pizza when she returned from the restroom.

If you're wondering why I didn't ask Riya about her preferred pizza, it's because I'm confident that Riya will enjoy the pizza of my choice.

"You were asking something." While seated in her chair, she said,

"Yes, but first let's eat some pizza." I could see her hesitation on her face as she said, "Oh, pizza."

"What happened to you? You don't like pizza?" I inquired, observing her reaction.

"No, there isn't anything like that; I stay away from junk food throughout my periods."

"Oh my god, how could I have forgotten? I'm so sorry, but I'll order something else for you straight away."

"No, it's fine. Please don't bother."

"Okay," I said as I ate a pizza slice.

"Riya, can't you live anywhere but Harsh?"

"Why?" While toying with her fork over her pizza slice, she inquired.

"Because I don't like the fact that you're with him. We have a mutual attraction. Then Harsh should have no place between us." I assumed she would understand without my words and leave Harsh to shift with me, but sadly, I had to urge her to leave Harsh.

"No, I can't do this suddenly. I had no choice but to tell him everything. Then, and only then, will I be able to move on?"

"And until that time comes, he will be with you and will touch you." Hearing her made me enraged. Why isn't she willing to leave him for me?

"Is it an issue for you to live with me?"

"No, what are you talking about? I want to spend all of my time with you, but you must understand my situation; how can I go abruptly?" She placed her hand to soothe my rage.

"What if he approaches you?" I inquired, my brows furrowed.

"Don't be concerned. Now that you've touched me, I don't want anyone else to touch me."

"Really?" I was still skeptical about her.

"Yes, and my relationship with Harsh isn't what you might imagine."

"What does it mean?"

"Harsh and I haven't been able to get near each other physically in the last three or four months."

"Are you telling the truth?" I couldn't believe my ears when she said it.

"Did you get the impression from looking at my body that I am regularly physically intimate with someone?" Although her conversation had a sense, I still did not want her to be with Harsh.

"Rachit, please give me some time; how can I come to live with you after shattering his heart? Please try to understand my dilemma since we have been living together for 7 years."

"Okay, but you only have one month to tell him, and if you don't, I'll tell Harsh myself." I warned her. "And if he touches you or comes close to you, you'll know my rage."

I was trying my hardest not to get furious with her any longer, but I couldn't stop myself from being enraged as I listened to her words.

"Okay, enough of the night. I need to get home, and Harsh must have arrived as well."

Oh God again, Harsh.

"Let's go, then."

I inquired about the message she sent last night while driving to her house.

"So you read the message and ignored it?" She exclaimed, enraged.

"So, what do you think I should have said in response to your nonsense?"

"It wasn't a frivolous thing;" she remarked angrily, her mouth puffed up with rage.

"So you think I'm physically attracted to you, and that's why I'm interested in you so much?" I inquired as I came to a halt outside her home.

"The only thing that matters to me is what you say out loud, not what I think." She inquired, her eyes filled with hope.

" I like you, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure why."

She said, "OK, bye," as she unlocked the car door.

"Wait for a second, please." Wasting no time, I captured her lips with my lips as soon as she turned around and gazed at me. I've wanted to kiss her rosy lips since the morning, but I've been ignoring her because of my wrath.

As usual, my unexpected kiss took aback her, but today she kissed me passionately equally without even asking.

I kissed her neck and murmured, "I wish I could spend the night with you." The fresh rose fragrance fueled my passionate thoughts coming from her body. "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm in the same boat. Goodbye, and I'll see you in the office tomorrow."

"Is it possible for me to pick you up in the morning tomorrow, Riya?"

When she saw the call flashing on her phone, a fearful expression appeared on her face.

"Harsh has returned before I get home. Oh no." She jumped out of the car and hurried towards her house as quickly as she could.

Why was Riya so terrified when she heard Harsh's call? She is not afraid of me and always responds to everything I say.

More than being near Riya, I want to keep Harsh away from her.

Riya has promised me she will not allow Harsh to touch her, but Harsh still makes me jealous. For all I know, men aren't always what they appear to be. Any man's lustful feelings are aroused by seeing Riya. Then Harsh with Riya in the middle of the night.

Oh my god, why did I allow Riya and Harsh to be together?

When I think of Riya and Harsh together, I can't sleep at night. To keep Riya away from Harsh, I talk to her on the phone till late at night, and I don't let her sleep until Harsh falls asleep and Riya takes a photo of him sleeping and sends it to me. I know that my actions are typical of a suspicious man, but what can I do? There is no other choice.

Riya has spent little time with me since we returned from Shimla, so I'd like to get her back in my arms and do crazy things with her again. She had to go home early every night before dinner. Because she is afraid of Harsh.

She does not even go on proper dates; how can I spend the night with her?

I'm sick of this barrier between Riya and me, known as "Harsh," and I'm going to talk to her about it as soon as possible.

She'll have to pick one of us, either me or Harm.
