Heartthrob's Girlfriend

Chapter 2 : Her reasoning

Akira's POV~

"Aki. What do they see in this boys?" Harshi asked.

"You tell me, why do you hate them so much?," I asked.

"I don't have any particular reason. I feel they fake so much," she said.

She is right. We attend fake celebrations, we meet fake people but we can't avoid it now. It has become our life now.

"I will never marry a rich person," Harshi said.

"Why," I asked.

"See those boys, aren't they spoiled rich brats?" she asked.

"Not everyone is like that, Harshi," I said.

"May be, but most of them are the same," she said. I nodded

"I will marry a humble person and lead a simple life," she said dreamily.

I smiled and nodded.

Harshi is from a middle-class family, but she always stays confident. She is hardworking and independent. She also do part time in one cafe.

I met her parents. We both have night outs in her house. They are the most humble and nice people that I have met in my life. As Harshi is their only child, they love her a lot. They also love me the same.

"You know, I have good news to share," Harshi said.

"What is it?"I asked.

"My dad got a promotion in his office. He said we would go to the restaurant today. Will you come?" Harshi asked.

"Harshi, how can I come in your family celebration?" I asked.

"You are our family. I want you to be present in my life in every moment, " Harshi said.

I had tears of guilt. What will be her reaction when I tell her my identity ?

"Hey, why are you crying?"Harshi asked while wiping my tears.

"Harshi, you will always be with me, right?" I asked.

"Of course. Is that even a question?"she said and hugged me.

"Thank you," I said and smiled.

"It's fine," she said.

Soon, the bell rang. We both sat in our seats, and every student settled in our class.

After all the boring classes, we both went to the canteen. We both are waiting in the line.

"Hey Fatty," I heard a girl voice from behind.

Harshi glared at her. I ignored her.

"Hey Fatty. Get me my lunch," the girl said and went off with her minions.

"Don't get her anything," Harshi hissed. I calmed her down.

I went and placed the lunch in front of her. I see all her friends are laughing at me.

"Baby, don't satisfy her demands," Harshi said.

"It's okay," I said. Harshali and I went and got our food.

We both started eating. When we were still eating, I saw Mina poured the ketchup on me.

"Oh, sorry, It's a mistake," Mina said, pouting. I was disgusted.

Harshi threw the water on her face.

"Oh, sorry, it's a mistake," Harshi too pouted.

"Let's go. We can't talk to idiots," Harshi said and dragged me.

"You go to the bathroom. I will bring your spare dress," Harshi said. I nodded.

When I look at myself in the mirror. I cried. I cried that I couldn't even look at myself. I was disgusted about myself.

I was, and I am scared to walk with my family. I will look like a black sheep in my family.

My father, sometimes my brother, accompanies my mother for various events and fashion shows. I don't want to go as I am not one of them. I don't look like one of them

Although he is my brother, I envy him a little bit. He is handsome, easy to mingle with. He looks like a son of actress.

I immediately wiped my tears when I heard some footsteps outside.

"Take this dress," Harshi handed me the dress.

I immediately went and changed my dress. I saw Harshi is angry. She is gritting her teeth with anger.

"What happened?"I asked.

"You know what happened?"Harshi started saying

******************Flashback*****************

Harshi's POV~

I don't know why she even cares for them. Why she doesn't she stand up for herself? She never shares what is going on in her mind? Sometimes, she becomes numb and just stares at the empty space. I feel so painful seeing her in pain. May be I get too attached to her in this 6 months.

But I know one thing for sure. She is hiding something from me. She is so sensitive. I don't want to force her to say things. I want her to be comfortable. So I didn't ask anything.

When I was about to open her locker to get her dress, I felt a hand on my wrist. I looked annoyingly. I saw a boy from that brat group grabbing my hand tightly.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

"What are you doing?" I asked, being annoyed. I yanked his hand away.

"Don't you think you should not steal things from your friend?"he asked.

"Stealing?, "I asked, being confused.

"Yeah.Why are you opening her locker without her permission?" he said.

"Don't you think you are running your mouth too much?" I asked while folding my hands.

"You? How dare you talk like this to me?"He gritted his teeth.

"Yeah. How dare you say something disgusting about me?"I raised my voice a little.

"You? How dare you? I am Samiksh Nanda, "he said. I gave him a bored look

"So?"I said.

"I will make your life hell," he said.

"What more can I expect from you? Also, I don't care what you think. I am here to get a spare dress for my friend, "I said while taking the dress out of her locker.

"By the way, Don't think everybody is like you." I flipped my hair and went off with her dress in my hand.

I was puffing in anger while coming to the bathroom.

***************Flashback end***************

"How dare he?"I yelled when I heard what my so-called brother said to her.

"Yeah, but you believe me, right?"Harshi asked.

"Are you mad? I trust you!"I said while hugging her.

"That's enough for me," she said.

"Harshi.. You are okay right", I asked.

"Yeah. I am fine. I just feel that I am not helpful to you. Although I lean on you for everything, you don't lean on me at all. Sometimes I feel useless, "Harshi said.

My tears are coming out hearing her. I always thought Harshi stopped asking questions eventually when I didn't answer, but I didn't know Harshi was feeling like this because of me.

"Harshi, don't cry," I said while hugging her.

"I don't know what I am blabbering. Let's go, "Harshi said while breaking the hug.

"Sorry, Harshi. I made you feel so bad, "I said guiltily.

"Don't be. I will wait for you to share with me. We are friends, so no thanks, no sorry, "Harshi said cheerfully.

I half-heartedly smiled at her as I knew she was really affected. I will definitely tell her what's going in mind. I trust that she will never judge me.
