My mom comes across us and she smiles at Priya "Tum?"
Priya joins her hands in front of my mom with a sweet smile "Namaste aunty, I'm Priya, Abhimanyu's childhood friend"
"Oh, nice to meet you beta. I'm Krishna, Ram's mother"
Priya glances at me before she looks at her "Nice to meet you aunty"
Mom smiles at her and gives me a look to which I roll my eyes knowing very well about that look. She walks away and priya looks at me "What happened?"
"Nothing! Just... we have to behave professionally infront of people" I say to which she looks at me amused.
"I think you should say that to yourself" She scoffs and walks away while I facepalm myself.
Later on, I find priya trying to get in a conversation with Abhi but he was somehow ignoring her and priya who was stubborn, went and sat next to him but Abhi instantly got up excusing himself. Her face fell. She looked like she was on the verge of tears.
She silently leaves the house towards the lawn and I look at abhi who didn't even notice it.
I walk to the lawn and hear low sniffles. She was sitting on a bench and silently crying.
God! That asshole made her cry... I'll not leave him!
I go and sit next to her and she quickly wipes her tears trying to hide it from me.
"Really? You're trying to hide it from me? Aren't we too close already for you to be doing that?" I say to which she softly sniffles and looks away.
"Why are you crying for such small thing hmm?" I ask softly to which she says in her teary voice "It's not small... I hate it when abhi ignores me and what hurts more is he is doing this for that girl who came just 2 days back... okay she had met him a few times when we were in college but no.. for her he is getting angry on me.." she starts crying again and I just shake my head in disbelief.
"Priya... are you crazy?"
She snaps her head at me and gets up to go but abhi comes in front of her who had his hands folded against his chest. I too stand up.
"Kya hogaya tujhe?" He asks to which priya looks away from him.
"I'm going home" She murmers and starts to leave but abhi holds her hand "Why are you so possessive of me?"
She looks up at him and removes her hand from his hold "Sorry for being possessive of you Abhimanyu"
It's the first time that I heard Abhi's full name from her mouth.
She walks away leaving us both gazing at her retreating self.
"I don't know why she hates Akshita. She is getting married to me and my bestfriend hates her" Abhi catches his head.
I pat his shoulder "I don't think she hates her, it's just because of being possessive of your friendship she is behaving such.."
"But she has to understand things. She is not a kid anymore. We are adults. She needs to be mature" He sighs.
"I agree. Don't worry, I'll talk to her" I assure him and we both join the others for a few drinks and talks.
~~~~~~~~~
It's been about two hours that she had left the party. Now, I'm here infront of her apartment.
I ring the doorbell and in five minutes she opens the door. She is looking shabby as if she was crying.
She was about to shut the door on my face but I prevented it by keeping my hand and forcing it open.
"I'm crazy so you don't need to talk to me" She says in anger and I sigh just moving inside even though she tried to stop me.
