I woke up with a phone call from Rishi like as usual. "Can't you stop doing this" I groaned talking with Rishi on phone.

I was searching for my dress in the wardrobe "nope killer I won't if I didn't wake you, you will never leave that bed" he said I giggled.

After I talked with Rishi I get ready for my college and went downstairs saw mom and dad are discussing something.

"Pooja we want to tell you something" dad said while mom is serving our breakfast. "Tell me dad" I said eating my food.

Mom and dad exchanged looks dad took a deep breath "we want you to marry" dad said I stopped what I am eating.

"He is my friend's son" dad said giving me a photograph but I didn't even look at the photo.

"There is no force in this Pooja what every your decision we will respect" mom said.

I don't want to eat anything so I left for my college whole drive to my college my thoughts were on my marriage.

I don't want to get married now because I have a lot of dreams to fulfil and coming to an arranged marriage I don't have any objection but I can't at least not now.

I parked my car and walked inside saw Sri and suji were talking I don't want to meet suji so I straight went to my classroom.

After college, I am in the canteen eating my lunch peacefully until Sri arrived with suji.

"Why didn't you meet me in the morning" Sri asked me pulled a chair in front of me. Suji sat beside Sri.

"Sorry I was in some thoughts" I said my phone pinged with a message I saw it was Sri.

Sri: say something to suji😠

I rolled my eyes and looked at suji who is chatting on her phone. "Hi suji how are you" I asked her smiling at her.

She raised her head from her phone and gives me a small smile "I am fine" she said and again went back to her phone.

"Fine" I muttered and continued my food while talking with Sri. After college is over Rishi came to pick up suji.

"Hey killer" he said "hey" I said "what a surprise you both met today" he asked I rolled my eyes.

"Are you going home?" Rishi asked me "no I am going to hell" I said sarcastically. Sri laughed loudly "why are you laughing like a manic" I asked hitting her shoulder.

"Hey guys" we hear raj voice "whoa you both met" he said looking at me and suji. "Why are you guys making a big deal" I asked them angrily.

"Exactly" suji said "because you two never even try to talk with each other" Sri said I rolled my eyes.

"Hey killer don't roll your eyes" Rishi said "why?" I asked him raising my eyebrow.

"Don't start a fight now" sri said "can we go to restaurant" raj asked "I don't think I can come" suji said.

"Don't!! You are coming and that's final" Rishi said she nodded her head. We decided go to restaurant.

******************

We five are settled on our respective seats "so what should we order" Sri asked looking at menu. After lot of thinking we came to conclusion.

"So how is college?" Rishi asked us I didn't answer because I am not feeling to be with them not now i just want to be alone.

"Excuse me" I said and got up went to the washroom. After I done with my business I was walking back to my table but I collied with someone I saw that same man who saved me.

"Hi you are here" i asked him he smiled "yes" he said I smiled "thank you so much for saving me on that day I didn't even thank you properly" I said.

"Hey don't thank me" he said smiling at me "by the way I am Vivek" he said showing his hand i shook my hand with him "Pooja" I said.

He got a phone call "sorry I need to go, see you soon" he said hurriedly "at least take my phone number" I said smiling he smiled. We exchanged our phone numbers and he left.

I went back to my table saw everyone is busy while talking but Rishi is looking so serious. I rolled my eyes and sat on my place.

"Why are you took this much time" Rishi asked me angrily "what" I asked him "why did you give your number to him" he hissed in anger.

"What Rishi, how you know it" i asked him narrowing my eyes "when you didn't show up I thought to come for you and saw you talking with that man" he said angrily.

"So what I give him my number only right! Why are you making it a big issue" I asked him angrily. Now I am angry on his behaviour.

"It is a big deal for me, how can you give your number to a stranger" he shouted getting up from his place.

I flinched at his tone now everyone is watching us "you don't have any sense how to behave" he shoutedof I also got up.

Tears formed in my eyes "it was my life! I will do whatever I want, for your information that only stranger is the who helped me when youforgot about me in that night and youdon't have have any right to talk with me like this" i said angrily and grab my bag.

"When you give your number to suji when you both didn't knew each other did I make it a big deal?" I asked him and left from there.

In my whole way back to my house tears didn't stop. I hate fighting with Rishi but what did I do that made him angry?

Why he is making it a big deal!

It is my life! I know he has every right on my life as a best friend but he can't control me like this!!!!

In whole night I was only crying not talking with anyone. I tried to call Rishi but stopped if he wants he will call me!!!

I slept with the thought of him calling me but who I am kidding he will never call back to me if we went a fight like this!!!
