Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Parth's POV

I came back to my home but could not take her out of my mind.

I wanted her to tell me, everything. I had a feeling if I would not talk to her for sometime, she would tell me soon thinking that I was hurt. So I decided to avoid her for one day.

Her pictures were so beautiful... My heart had skipped a few beats, looking at those pictures.

I was not able to sleep so started surfing my phone. Just then I saw the reading app I had downloaded after seeing, it on her laptop. I had created an account with a different user name.

I had a few notifications from the app, so I opened it.

I read the book, she had been reading that day. It was very nice and captivating. I finished it over the night. I liked the way the author had penned down the book. I looked for the other works by the same author. There was another book which was not very long, I finished it within two hours.

Her writing style was good. I liked the way she described the love scenes with a subtle sensuality. Romantic... Very romantic. Sensuous, steamy, witty and crisp. I commented what I felt and was surprised to see that she answered back politely.

She had started updating the new book. I read the introduction and it seemed very interesting so I thought of giving it try. So added it to my reading list and then went to sleep but Riya's beautiful pictures robbed my sleep.

Riya's POV

It was morning, he had already left by the time I got ready to go to the hospital.

For the whole day, he kept flirting lightly with Disha and kept himself busy and away from me. I wanted to be around him. But he didn't even talk to me.

What kind of a man was he?? Kissed me last night and now he was ignoring me??

Fine, ignore me !!

I even saw him talking to another lady doctor. Disha said that Kunal had sent a picture of Dr Parth and that lady doctor to her on the welcome party night. Her name was Isha. She even showed that photograph to me. They looked kind of close as she was hugging him.

Who was she to him??

I was feeling bad that he was in love with Dr Siddhart and yet kissed me, flirted with Disha and was posing in a loving embrace with Dr Isha??

What was he doing and why?

Was he really gay ?? Oh, my God!! He was a bisexual? Yes, that explains his behaviour.

But why was he flirting with three girls?

I was annoyed but once our shift was over, I excused myself and left immediately. He was surprised at my behaviour.

" Hey, are you in a hurry?? " Disha asked me.

" Yes, I am going out to a party, so have to go and get ready. " I said and knew that Dr Grumpy also heard that. I ignored him and came home.

******

The water was boiling I went towards it and added, cream sugar and coffee, recalling what happened last night.

I was suddenly eaten up by the jealousy that he was smiling continuously at Disha and was in that romantic photograph with that female doctor who was quite sophisticated and elegant.

Just then the doorbell rang, I opened the door and saw him standing there. So finally he recalled me.

Though I was very happy to see him, I asked him with indifference.

" Yes?? "

" Good evening!! Can I come in?"

No!! Go and talk to Disha and that new girl.

I wanted to say that to him but my heart started beating faster and could not say it.

" I was making coffee for myself, would you have one too? " I asked.

" Hmmm, I will make it. Then we can go and watch another movie. " He said.

" Not today, I am going out to watch a movie. " I said.

" Alone?? " He asked.

" No!! "

" Tanvi?? Can I accompany you, please? My treat! " He said.

Why don't you go with Disha or Isha??

" No!! With Dr Vidyut Sharma. " I told him.

" What? Are you crazy? " His smile disappeared immediately.

" He asked me out. It's his birthday and he is all alone here. Tanvi was also going with us but is not well now. She requested not to cancel the program as it is his birthday. He would get upset. " I said.

" Oh, yes!!! Of course, he would get upset. You don't want that right?? Fine, have a nice... date." He said and went away without having the coffee.

Why was he behaving as if he was getting jealous?

I don't know why I felt very uncomfortable. His expression had changed when I told him about the date.

What was his problem?? I saw his close picture with that Dr Isha too. He kissed me yesterday and then avoided me for the whole day. Now he came back to spend time with me.

What was going on in his mind??

Was he trying to start a new relationship on rebound??

If he was in love with one of them, then why was he giving mixed reactions to me??

Ughhh!!

I was not sure if I hated or loved him more... Maybe both.

I thought of cancelling the program but it seemed unfair to Dr Vidyut. So decided to go with the plan.

I wanted to see Dr Parth before going out, but the adamant man had locked himself in his home.

Dr Vidyut came to pick me up and we both went to watch the movie on a multiplex. The movie was about to start and he asked me to come.

I was preoccupied with the thoughts of my grumpy neighbour, so went with him but I was so shocked and embarrassed to see that it was not a movie We had decided to watch it but was an adult movie and I was not comfortable watching such a movie with any man.

" We are in the wrong hall, I think we were supposed to go to hall 1," I said to him.

" That show was full and I could not get a ticket, so booked this one. " He said with a cool smile. I was annoyed with his casual attitude.

He placed his arm around the back of my chair and I started getting uncomfortable only after about five minutes, I started thinking about some way to get out of there. I watched for barely ten minutes more.

The movie was full of hot and erotic scenes, making me feel more and more uncomfortable. His hand slid and touched my shoulder. I got up immediately and said, " Sorry, Dr Vidyut, I need to go. "

" Where?? " Dr Vidyut said.

" Home! " I said and got up.

" Why, the movie has just started. It is such an interesting movie. Don't you think so?? Sexy and hot! " He caught my hand I winced.

" I don't think so... I am sorry, Dr Vidyut, I need to go home. Please leave my hand. " I said a bit louder and he left my hand. I almost ran towards the exit. He followed me.

" Wait for some time, I have heard that the movie is very nice. " He said.

" I am sorry, it is not my kind of movie. I am not comfortable, were you planning to watch this movie with your sister Tanvi? How could you? Was she not supposed to come as well? "

" She was not coming and the movie we had planned was going housefull so I booked for this one. What is the problem? " He said as if how does it matter?

" Then you should have told me. I would not have come if I knew. " I said.

"Please stay for some time. It's my birthday. " He said.

" Happy Birthday!! But thanks, I have pain in my hand, it got burnt today. I need to go. I didn't like the movie, I am going you please go and watch your interesting movie. " I said and turned to go.

" I will drop you home. " He said holding my hand.

" No!! Thanks! Enjoy your birthday. I can go on my own. Bye. " I said but he didn't leave my hand.

" Sorry!! Please forgive me... I didn't think it from a girl's point of view. I am sorry. " He said and looked as if he really didn't think from my side.

" Leave my hand. " I said and just then he looked over my shoulder, behind me, left my hand and clenched his jaw but didn't say anything.

I felt someone was standing behind me. I turned and came face to face with Dr grumpy.

Was he my imagination?

Why would he come here? I think I was losing my mind.
