Nisha's pov
Sidharth was being surprisingly nice recently. Actually, I wouldn't call it nice, he just wasn't being mean I guess.
I catch my mum, who is hurriedly doing some online ordering for Siddharth's wedding. Being very close friends with Aunt Aadhya, it was normal for her to help out with the planning for the wedding.
"Dear! Come here, can I have your opinion on this?" Mum calls out
I rush over to her and peer and what she is showing.
"I like that one" I say signaling the image on the left
"Are you sure that's what Sidharth and Alia would like?" She asks
"Nope" I say
"Nisha! Aadhya wanted this done by today! Quick, go ask Sidharth to come, it's urgent. Their wedding date is nearing " Mum orders
Knowing my mums formidable personality, I walk outside where I find Sidharth and Alia chatting. It was going to be awkward, especially knowing that Alia thinks that I'm in love with her gross boyfriend.
"Sidharth. Mums calling you" I say in a demanding tone so that he would listen to me
With a bothersome smirk on his face, he says "Yeah yeah" rolling his eyes
"Sidharth. It's important. Mum needs to sort out some arrangement for you two. Plus, it's your wedding after all" I explain impatiently
I watch Alia glance at me with a look on her face which reads 'go away'. Anyways, who was I to play along to her rules.
"Fine fine, I'll come after you make me some tea okay" He laughs with a smirk on his face
Impatiently I tug his shirt, trying to pull him up. How can he be so careless and lazy about his own marriage.
"Can't you see Siddharth's busy! Now get lost" Screeches Alia with fury flaming in her eyes.
Wow. Just wow.
Without wanting to fight, I just walk back into the living room. What was Alia's problem? I know se hates me, but why so much attitude?
"Nisha? Where is SIdharth?' Mum growls
"They aren't coming" I sigh
Mum rolls her eyes in disappointment. "Nisha, can't do get anything done? It was such a simple task."
Later that afternoon, when Alia and Aunt Aadhya went shopping Sidharth approched me. Deep inside I was hoping for an apology for Alia's bahaviour earlier on.
"Nisha.." He says
"Sidharth, I don't wanna talk now okay?" I say
"Nisha, it's about Alia.... You should know she's a very protective gilfriend " He begins
"So? Does that mean she has to behave liek some sort of maniac?" I ask
"What's yoru problem now? I get it, she's prettier and all but you started this whole mess. You shouldv'e stayed on her good side" He says
What a jerk. For a moment I actually thought he was being nicer to me,but obviously not.
Sidharth will always be Sidharth.
"Ugh, I don't wanna deal with you. Face it, you are a slave to Alia. She is controlling you " I say truthfully
"Nisha you don't understand. Alia is perfect for me. " He says
What a fool
"Anyways, I don't wanna start an argument" I say leaving. A girlfriend like Alia is exactly what he deserves for his rudeness.
"Come pay" Yells my sister, Esly pulling Sidharth
"Elsy, you don't need him. We can play okay," I say leading her to the garden
I hand Esly a big blue ball which she is fascinated by. I am not the sporty type, so I just stand back and watch her play.
"Come on Esly, pass it here" Sidharth yells.
Esly, who is pleased at his enthusiasm begins playing a game which is a mix of tag and i guess basketball. Sidharth, who is chasing her, calls me to join in
"No thanks" I say sitting down
"You are no fun" Esly yells while Sidharth laughs
"Fine fine. Sheesh" I say makig my way towards them
"Tag" Esly says tagging me
I hated tag ever since I was little. I wasn't fast at all, which was my problem. Sidharth who was beside me started sprinting into the blue. There was no point in chasing Esly, she is truly the fastest child I know. I begin chasing Sidharth, with my hair flying all over my face. I was chasing him for what seemed like hours when we decided to call it quits.
"I'm so tired. Gonna grab some lemonade" I say walking into teh kitchen
I generously get a glass for Sidharth, who is now resting on one of the sun chairs on the deck.
"Here" I say handing the drink to him
"So." He says attempting to break the silence
"Hey has it ever occured to you that the grass is greener on that side" I say pointing to the right
"Nope, I've never paid that much attention to grass" He laughs
"Well I do" I say confidently
"So tell me a story or something. Entertain me" He says sipping his drink
"What do you mean?" I ask
"I dunno, Just tell me something. Any funny stories?" He asks
I take a moment to think.
"Well, there was this time in college where I overslept and missed my test..." I say
"Yeah tell me about it" He asks
It had been ages since we've talked like this, like have a proper conversation. I begin telling him the story, and surprisingly he was interested the whole time
"That was the funniest story ever!" He laughs
"Yeah, but i've changed, I'm much more organised now" I assure him
"I doubt it" he says
"SIDHARTH!!!!" Alia yells walking towards us.
"Nisha was just telling me about her college experiences, tell Alia the story.It's so funny" Laughs Sidharth
Why...why? Is Sidharth so stupid that he dosen't realise that we hate each other
"No, no, I dont think its that funny" I say
I hated being judged by people like Alia, who think they're so high up compared to normal girls like me. Plus, she probably won't find it funny.
"Nah, tell her. I honestly cracked up" He laughs
"Are you gonna tell me or what, Nisha" Growls Alia crossing her arms.
She was so demanding
"Well, it was a rainy day in college, and the night before my exam my friend, Preeti invited me over to her home to a study session. So basically when I got there it was actually a massive party. So we were there jamming to all the best songs and all, and by the time I got back to my room it was already around 4 in the morning. So the next morning, I wake up and find that it's 10am, and my test was at 9!-"
"This is the funny part" Sidharth buts in
"Well, after I woke up I legit ran to the shower ad got changed and all-"
"Nisha, I'm already bored of this" Alia says rolling her eyes
silence.
"But she didn't finish" Says Sidharth
Wow. Sidharth is actually on my side this time.
"DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE" Yells Alia and rushes off
Slightly entertained, I watch them
"Alia!" He yells chasing her
Alia, who is clearly enraged continues walking, ignoring Sidharth.
Eventually I see him catch up, and talk, but I am too far away to hear what they are saying. By the expressions on Alia's face, I can tell she is furious. I know that she suspects that I like SIdharth, but isn't it clear that he is madly in love with her?
