Not A Simple Engineer Boy!

H' & Seven: New Start (Part 5)

"Oh my, what is that?", Priya asked eyeing Xavier's diamond twinkling on Krithika's ring finger, "Did you travel to your home to get engaged or what?", she paused for a minute, "But you were dating some pompous rich-ass, right?"

Yes, she had lied again and had informed her friends that her parents had asked her to come home for some pressing work. Well, what else would have she told them? That she was flying to Kerala for a pre-honeymoon trip with their boss... such a rubbish shit it would have been!

She was sitting on her bed and relaxed her legs, pulling them out from the lotus position to flex them straight. Leaning back over the wall, "Actually... I didn't go home.", she confessed.

There was no use in hiding, Krithika comprehended that. Either then or in a few days, things might be revealed, so she thought to 'spill' in detail, whatever Priya had asked her a few months back.

You are engaged to him, there is nothing wrong in spilling now.

 "Much expected lies from you. So, the mystery boyfriend of yours gifted this exorbitant piece of stone as well?", Priya frowned, "He must be losing quite a lot of his generational wealth by spending so much on you."

Gifted? So, she can't conclude that the pompous rich-ass boyfriend proposed to me?

Yes, she thinks that a millionaire can't fall for a girl like you.

It hurt her.

Rashi, who was sitting over the end of the bed, chuckled, "You are so rude and hurtful, Priya.", she shook her head, "Krithika and this, whoever, the guy is in love, it's evident, and you keep insulting him as well as our friend."

Priya flew a flying kiss towards Rashi, "Krithika is in love, my ass. And trolling is my love language.", she continued, "I don't talk like this to everyone. You should see how I am in front of Xavier sir, he probably thinks I am a namby-pamby nerd."

"Everyone is a dork in front of him, you can't compare your regular shitty attitude to your appearance in front of a self-made hero.", Rashi shrugged and turned to face Krithika, "Anyway, it's established that like always you lied to us, and have called us to your jail to confess, so now tell us where were you for the past week?"

Self-made hero, okay.

Krithika chewed her lips, "I went on a vacation with my fiancé."

Stunned at her comment, "Excuse me, fiancé what?", Priya opened her arms wide, "Don't tell me that this fancy guy proposed to you and you fucking accepted it?", she shrieked like Krithika had slapped her with a cactus.

"Yes."

"What the fuck?", Priya slapped her forehead, "How naive are you? Krithika, you shouldn't trust these elite sons of bastards! Fucking throw that ring on his face, he probably did that to fuck you for a while, and then whoosh!", she snapped her fingers, "He will disappear."

What?

Hesitating Krithika asked, "Is this why you never believed when I told you that I am dating a r--"

"Obviously... What else?", Priya scoffed, leaning next to her over the bed, her weight supported by her left elbow, "Speaking from my personal experiences, rich men are not at all love material... once they get their fill they tend to break the heart of girls like us.", she shrugged, "I thought you were just playing around with him to free yourself from some loneliness and well, grandiloquent gifts are the benefits, but this, whatever you spewed, is bullshit."

It wasn't about you, it was about her.

Krithika had no idea about what had happened in Priya's past to have such notions. All these while she had thought that her friend found her to be an ugly and plain idiot, but that wasn't the case.

You are so self-centered!

Sighing, "But... Xavier loves me.", she whispered.

"MOTHEROFALLSWEETBOMBS!?", Priya's head snapped towards her as Rashi abruptly stood straight from the bed, screaming along with Priya, "OH SWEET LORD, WHAT?"

Krithika rushed, "Please don't tell anyone, not even Akash.", she squirmed as both of her friends gawked at her.

"WHAT?", that was Rashi, again.

Priya held Krithika's right knee, "You are that secret dark beauty whom he was doing--"

"Shut up!", Krithika felt her body heat up at the mention of that particular article.

"WHAT?", Rashi, again.

Priya kicked Rashi's leg, "We don't share adult content with you, don't want to taint your flowery pure soul.", she gave Rashi a tight-lipped smile, "There was a steamy article about our sweet Krithika's fiancé, which got wiped out within a few minutes after it was published. Now, can you shut up?"

"WHAT?", Rashi went on like a broken record.

Krithika huffed, "Muruga! That's why I wanted to be silent, now you guys are making a scene out of this."

"We are making a scene...Dafuq drama queen? You are the one bombarding us with unbelievable shit!", Priya laughed like a mad woman.

"We have been dating for seven months now.", Krithika slowly started spilling.

"Neeamma! Seven months!?", for the first time Priya cursed in Telugu- her mother tongue- meaning it was truly an unpredictable bomb for her, "Krithika, do you have any more secrets? Are you involved with some Italian Mafia Boss like those absurd illogical fiction?"

"Shut up, please!", Krithika hissed.

"Girl, you drop some news so big and expect us to be calm?", giving her the most sincere look Priya continued, "Okay, we'll try to be calm.", she pulled Rashi's arm, who tumbled on the bed beside them, "Go on, start from the start, I want to know every detail about your relationship with you know who..."

Krithika took a long breath, "It started when we accidentally kissed each other..."

And she did recite them everything, except for the part on how many times Xavier had made her come, in real and in her dreams. Priya surely caught the gaps and kept mischievously smiling throughout, making Krithika furiously blush.

"I still can't believe that you are engaged to our boss.", Rashi added, "This was not in my mind when you invited us to your P. G. today. I thought you would offer us some homemade Murukku and Thattai for snacking while bitching about random stuff."

Priya typed on her phone and nodded, "Yeah, too many things to wrap around my head.", she wiggled her brows, "So, it seems like we won't be able to talk to each other much now, no more friendship, you are now our boss.", she poked Krithika.

"I am not your boss, and won't be ever. It's his and Satya ma'am's business.", Krithika rolled her eyes, "And you guys are my first real friends, if not you then to whom would I bitch about my manager and rant about work."

Krithika's phone pinged with a message and her eyes snapped to Priya.

'You missed out on some very important segments, supply the details later.'
