Crazy for you.

"Riya's point of view,"

"Riya, why do you come home so late these days?" As soon as I stepped into the hall, Harsh's voice forced me to stop at my place.

Oh shit, today again, Harsh came home before me. Should I tell him I was with Rachit? Not at all. Harsh is furious. I don't want to face his anger. The lines of anger were visible on Harsh's forehead.

"Because of the launch of new products in the office, a lot of work has increased." I answered as I entered the bedroom.

"Oh, so you could have informed me by a phone call. You neither call me nor consider it necessary to receive my call." His enraged gaze was still hurling daggers at me.

"I have told you I was busy, yet you are showering taunts about me." His questions have irritated me. He has questioned me a lot these days.

"I was just worried about you and why you were not picking up my calls. So I got tense for you." He got up from the chair lying near the dining table and came and stood behind me in the bedroom.

"I am not a child who can't do anything alone. When will you stop treating me like a child?" I don't know why he didn't leave me in my condition.

"Riya, why are you getting so irritated? What happened? Did you get into an argument with someone in the office?"

He tried to soften his voice.

"Harsh, I am exhausted. I cannot sit and entertain you with my office gossip." Saying this, I left him alone in the bedroom and went to the washroom to change clothes.

After dressing myself in a blue night suit, I returned to the bedroom. Harsh's calculative eyes were staring at me.

"Have you had dinner?" I asked, raising my mobile in my hand.

"No."

"Why?" My focus was still on the mobile screen.

"Have I ever eaten dinner without you?" I still fixed his eyes on me.

"OK, then tell me what you would like to eat." I asked Harsh while typing the message to Rachit on my mobile.

"It already exhausted you from the office. I'll order something from outside." He said this while picking up his phone.

"OK,"I said while lying on the bed.

"Tell me what you will eat." He asked me another question.

"Can't you make a single decision by yourself? You can decide on your own what food to order, at least." I am fed up with his questions. Can't he take decisions like Rachit? But no, is it necessary to take my advice on everything?

"Not at all. I always like to eat the food of your choice."

Oh God, why is Harsh so irritated?

"Whatever you want, I'll order it for you."

"I have had dinner." I said while turning on the other side of the bed.

"Alright, then I'll make Maggi for myself." He said in a low voice.

I know that my behavior must have made him very sad, but what should I do? Because of Rachit, I have to stay away from Harsh. Rachit wants me to leave Harsh and shift with him, but it is difficult for me to break Harsh's heart and start a new life with Rachit. How many times did I think I should tell Harsh everything, but even after gathering a great deal of courage, I couldn't tell Harsh the truth? Rachit is constantly threatening me that if I do not tell Harsh soon, then he will come and tell Harsh everything.

Anyway, I have to explain to Harsh that I no longer love him, or, should I say, that I never really loved him. We both used to be each other's best friends. After Rachit came into my life, I realized what love is.

"Riya, Will you eat Maggie?" Harsh asked, holding the plate of Maggi, standing at the bedroom entrance.

"No, I am not hungry." I replied, pretending to sleep with my eyes closed.

"At least you can sit with me till dinner." I can feel the pain in his voice, but what should I do? I will have to break his heart. But he has always been an excellent friend of mine. Will he break his friendship with me after knowing the truth? Probably yes. In what trap have I caught myself?

"Harsh, I am feeling sleepy. Please have dinner alone." I said this as I typed a good night message to Rachit on my phone.

"OK," he left me alone in the bedroom and went to the hall.

'Why are you sleeping so early today? Do you have any special plans for tonight?' Rachit wrote in reply to my WhatsApp message.

'Are you mad? How many times have I told you he doesn't sleep with me anymore?' I am angry at Rachit's suspicious mind. I have told him many times that Harsh and I sleep in different rooms, but I don't know why he doesn't believe me.

'Send me your pic. I want to see you.' I received another message from Rachit on my WhatsApp. Rachit, why are you so stubborn? Even after spending the whole day with him in the office, I don't know why he wants my selfie every night before sleeping. By clicking on my selfie, I sent him a message.

'I wish you were in my arms this time.' This message from him woke up my lusty thoughts.

'I also want to be near you,' but it is not so easy for me to break Harsh's heart. How to end 7 years of a relationship in one stroke?

'Well, what would you do if I were with you?' I replied to Rachit's message.

Rachit : 'You know that only when you get close to me.'

Riya: 'Oh, if such a thing is there, then you will have to come to take me.'

A big smile came to my face. I was thinking of Rachit.

Rachit: 'Then what are you waiting for? Come to me quickly.'

Riya:'I will not come to you so easily.'

Rachit:'Oh, then how will you come?'

Riya: 'Take me.'

Rachit: 'Since when have I been calling you to me, but you do not listen to me? I can only request from you.'

Riya: 'Yes, you can only request me, and nothing is for you.'

Rachit: 'Well, then you are challenging me.'

Rita: 'Yes, if you think so, then yes.'

Rachit: 'Well, then you don't blame me later.'

Riya: 'No, you don't have enough guts to take me away from here without my consent.'

Rachit: 'Riya, don't challenge me.'

Riya: 'Yes, you have already lost this challenge.'

Rachit: 'Miss Riya, come to the balcony of your house.'

Riya: 'Why?'

Rachit: 'Oh, come on.'

Riya: 'Rachit, what is so childish?'

Rachit: 'I am standing outside your house.'

Riya: 'What?'

Rachit's whimsy sometimes amazes me.

"Madam, think carefully before challenging me again."Rachit called me after seeing me standing on the balcony.

"Seriously, you are insane." It thrilled me to see him in front of my eyes this time. He came here this night only to see me.

"Yes, I'm crazy just for you."I could not stop the blush coming on my face after listening to Rachit.

"Rachit, I think Harsh is awake, so I have to go inside before he comes out. Bye, I will meet you tomorrow morning." I disconnected the call without hearing Rachit's reply.

"Riya, what were you doing on the balcony that night?" As soon as I entered the hall, Harsh, standing in front, asked the question.

"I.. I..want.. fresh air. Yes, I went to get fresh air." I was so scared seeing Harsh that I could not understand what to answer suddenly.

"Fresh air on such a night, that too, you," he asked in a suspicious voice.

"Yes, now I have to ask your permission for this as well." Harsh's questions were reinforcing me to break his heart by telling him the truth.

"Riya, what has happened to you nowadays? Why do you get ready to fight with me every time?" He asked in an irritated voice after listening to me.

"Nothing, it's enough night. I'm going to sleep now." Leaving Harsh alone in the hall, I closed the bedroom door with a thud. Please forgive me if I come across as harsh. I don't want to trouble you, but I love Rachit, not you.

Do I love him?

Yes, maybe, but oh my god. I should convey my feelings to Rachit as soon as possible.

Tomorrow I will reach the office and the very first thing I will do is to express my love for him and accept his marriage proposal.
