Chapter 12 - Sweet but bitter past

"About that Ophelia only told me that they stopped talking with each other because of those rumours to be cleared out but I knew that there were more side stories behind it. Even though Ophelia didn't open up about the reason for their fall out clearly yet I later came to know that for Aurora where no matter what he was always just a friend and nothing more than that but for him, she was more than a regular friend maybe on whom he was interested in secretly. And it occurred that he had even tried to approach Aurora in many ways directly or indirectly so that she would be with him but she kept refusing him again and again which somewhat hurt his ego as a man after a few attempts. After being continuously rejected by her, she became his stubbornness and obsession that he wanted to have at any cost which led him to pour the fuel to fire of rumours that somehow boosted so many fake rumours about Aurora and him. But no matter what Aurora didn't give in to his proposal which later caused the wall of their friendship to fall weaker and weaker day by day that at last, the lovely pair of friends fell out with one another. He went blind with his ego or you can just say that he gave himself into his ego and as a result, he stopped talking with Aurora out of the blue. But still, that wasn't the end as he started to flirt around with various girls in open by thinking it would make Aurora jealous and besides that, he used to defame her with others which somehow turned Aurora to end up hating him and all that was left between them was hatred, not the love that he desired. Where he kept casing hurdles and embarrassment for Aurora continuously by being blind with the grudges he had towards Aurora's rejecting him, Aurora ended up regretting her decision of making him one of her best friends with the passing of time.", said Oliver while rubbing his temple with a sigh by completing his words.

"So this is what happened between them. He is indeed a stupid guy. What he did was out of line and he shouldn't have ruined their friendship because of his one-sided attraction. The whole mess was created just because of his wishful thinking and his unrequited love. Does his wistfulness deserve this much trouble to be created because of it???", said Nathan while sighing.

"Who knows, bro... None of us has answers at this point. That was not the end because there are even more incidents that he caused to hurt Aurora but I don't know them or much of them accurately because of my being absent for a long time and when I returned back none was ready to open their mouth about it. Especially till now, none speak about what happened in real that time but still, there are people who shipped them secretly as it looks pleasant to eyes to see the view of them standing together as a couple. It has been two years of that incident and a lot has changed. Such as- he attends to school so less than before that he is barely spotted in the school compound and none talks about him in the presence of Aurora but when these two come face to face like today, a situation is created where there is always a hidden pressure in the air but for others who are mainly shippers it's the presence of a magnificent couple. The past is buried deep down under the memories of most of us which is full of sweetness along with bitterness that none of us wants to recall. So, none no longer talk about them or the past. As a result, the new enrolments like you didn't get the opportunity to know their bittersweet relationship.", said Oliver while taking a deep breath after completing his words.

"Hmm, it's indeed a past with a lot of bad experience. Let's just forget about it. Why do we have to grieve over what had happened??? Let's change the topic and talk about something else to chill our moods.", said Nathan while patting Oliver's shoulder with a smile at the end.

Nathan was finally at the ease after hearing the words of Oliver that were confirming that Aurora wasn't in a relationship with anyone. Somehow those parts of story helped to clear up the dark cloud which was surrounding his heart because of the thought of Aurora's being taken away by someone even though he didn't know the reason for his heart to be in such a vulnerable state because of it.

Oliver smiled to his words while shaking his hand by saying, "Sure, bro. Let's just drop it. Past is past. We have another more things to do."

Then both of them changed their topic and started to have a chat on other topics happily.

Meanwhile, Aurora who was in an off mood because of the incidents in the playground came up to the floor where their classroom situated and started to walk through the corridor while being occupied with those thoughts running in her mind from that moment to the whole way where Scarlet and Chole was following her behind quietly watching at Aurora who was lost in her thoughts.

Like usual a lot of juniors were greeting her who she met on her way but unlike other days that day she only smiled gently with them slightly without saying any sweet words or greetings to them as the only thing that was running in her mind was the teasing smirk of that guy's face and the rude words and his mean attitude when she was leaving the spot they met.

She kept asking again and again while trying to search for the answers in her mind, "Why did he do so??? Why does he have to be so rude to me??? What have I done for him to hate me so much??? Was that cycle incident caused by him to make me embarrass or to lose face??? Why does he have to be so rude??? I know that he doesn't care but still why he has to be so mean??? I regarded him as my best friend but in return what he did to me??? Why are you like this???"

Aurora who was only focusing on the questions running in her mind wasn't bothering and caring her surroundings and kept walking like a soulless dead body or a zombie but because of her being too careless and absent-minded she didn't see the fast running junior boys with the excitement to head to the playground were approaching her like the group of bulls who also didn't notice her because of their being busy body to run wild.

They were about to push down Aurora accidentally by without even knowing her standing on their way as their full focus was towards the playground but before she could get hit by them someone griped her hand gently yet strongly and pulled her to the corner by saying out, "Be careful. You might get hurt."
