I Will Never Be Yours

Chapter 23

Aayan's POV

I looked at the mirror, to glance at my attire for one last time...

Hmm.... Not bad Aayan Varma...

Today I was accompanying Ved in his very first presentation, in front of the new investors

He was always with me, when I decided to start AYSA, also he helped me in getting investors, gave me ideas, helped me in hiring... 

I know, I can trust Ved with my life, it's a big day for him, so I have to be with him today...

I enter Ved's room and he was pacing to and fro, nervously...

'Ready Big Guy...?' I ask

'I haven't been this nervous in my entire life...' he says keeping the file on his bed and checked himself on the mirror

'I think, you have... remember when we were sent to the boarding school...?? We both were scared to death...' I sit on the chair uncomfortably, my stomach is not good because of the stupid stunt I pulled up few hours ago..

'That's different... ' Ved replies

'This is not that worst.... Damn it.... ' I wince as my stomach hurts

Stupid chillies..

'Still hurts..?' Ved chuckled

'Yeah... Thanks to your sister... ' I reply caressing my stomach

'Why do you fight with her...?' he asks wearing his tie

Exactly, why do I waste my time with her....
I have more productive things to do...

'It was fun initially, but now even I am bored... She can fight with me throughout her life.. But I can't... ' I shrug my shoulders

Ved laughs, trying to fix his messed up tie

'How do you tie this damn thing...?' he whines irritated

'Don't look at me, I don't know how to tie that... ' I raise my hands in defense

'I'll ask Maa.. ' he gives up

There is a light knock on his door..

'Come in.. ' Ved says and his door opens and Deepika enters his room carrying a tray

'Sorry to disturb you guys, Aunty sent this for you Aayan... You were not in your room, so I thought you will be here... ' she says glancing at Ved

I like this kid...
How can she be friends with that brat...

I also feel she has a thing for Ved... Does Ved like her...?
Let me check...

'Thank you Deepika... ' I smile and take the glass which has some weird drink

Maybe mom sent this for my stomach ache

'Aunty said this will help for your upset stomach... ' Deepika said

'Okay... ' I say and look at Ved, who is struggling with the tie

'Leave it Man... ' I said and Deepika looks at Ved

'It's my first formal presentation... How can I not wear this... ' Ved whines

'May I...?' Deepika asks in a low voice

Ved looks at her surprised and then looks at me...

He is uncomfortable..?
What should I conclude by this...?

'Uh... You...?  I mean...  It's okay...  I can.... ' Ved stammers

'I will take this to aunty, she will tie this and then you can wear, I could've asked her to come here, but she is kinda busy in forcing Ananya and Vansh have the same drink she sent for Aayan... ' she chuckles and looks at me
