Riwa's P. O. V
PRESENT
Since last week Ruhan has been acting weirdly. After our convo last week Ruhan has been constantly ignoring me and even when I tried to make a conversation with him he always make an excuse and leaves immediately.
It's bothering me a lot. It feels like the bond that we had built 2 weeks ago is just in my head and is not real. He is behaving as if I am a stranger to him.
One more week has passed,its almost the last week of my school and I'm feeling very sad as I have to leave this school and some friends. And also very excited as I'm going to step in the new society, new surroundings and experience new things.
Talking about my friends I'm gonna miss everyone and especially the person I have been loved from such a long time. He's one with whom I want to spend my whole life.
I know it sounds a little typical, however it's the truth of my life.
When I first met him I had never expected that he'll become so important to me.
I tried many ways to talk to him and finally one day we became friends but we were not so close as I didn't want to attract the attention of his female fans. He also treated me the same way.
The time passed and we spent a lot time together and in that time when I was with him I was really happy and wanted that time may stand still so that I can watch him more closely. I don't know how but I was in love with him.
And today, it's our farewell party. Everyone was enjoying themselves but my eyes were searching for one person-Ruhan. I was wearing a red saree with matching earrings and high heels and left my hair down.
I want to confess my love for him because I don't want to be coward for my whole life. I want him to know that how much I love him. So I decided to take this step. Ahh!! I'm so excited. I can't wait to see his reaction.
At the sports ground. He is standing with his friend looking breathtaking handsome as always.
"Hi! "I said.
"Hello. " both Ruhan and his friend replied.
"What guys are you talking? " I asked.
"Nothing. Just future plannings about studies. Why are you here? "Ruhan asked.
"I -I'm... "I hesitated.
" Well, I'll catch you guys later. I have something to do. Bye. "His friend replied may be he noticed that I'm uncomfortable .
"Bye. "both Ruhan and I replied.
"You were saying something? "he asked.
"I'm saying that I... " I stopped.
When I'm about to confess, another girl with long black hair, black eyes, fair skin and quite good looking figure appeared before us.
She hugged Ruhan and peck a kiss on his cheek. I'm shocked when I see this because I have never seen any girl being so close with him.
When I came back to my senses I realized that she's Anna - our fellow mate. She said "Hello " to me and Ruhan. He asked her that "what brings her here? " She said she wants to talk to him in private but then immediately he said that she can tell what it is after all we are all classmates.
She hesitated a bit but later she tells about her feelings for him that she likes him very much and wanted to be with him.
Both me and Ruhan were shocked and dumbfounded. We exchange looks and I was in extreme shock. It took a lot of time for me to believe this.
"OMG! She just confessed her love. Now what would I do??? No! No! This can't be possible. "
And suddenly a voice reached my ears which brings me back to reality. Ruhan said that "I can't accept your proposal. I have never thought about it. " She was trying to explain her but he said " Can you please stop it now. Don't spoil our friendship. I really don't want any relationships. Now just leave. "
He was so angry at that time that it scared me. I have never seen his this side. He's always polite and good to me.
But she wanted to know that why doesn't he wanna be in relationship? He stayed silent, he doesn't want to answer her. And when he was about to leave, she stopped him. She glanced at me and said "Is it because you like someone? "
He also gave a look to me just for a second so that no one noticed him and said"Stop your nonsense. I never liked anyone and it's none of your business. Stay away from me. "and then he left.
I felt extremely heartbroken as I had finally gathered my courage to tell him about my feelings for him. Because now I know that he never liked me and if I'll tell him about my feelings now then our friendship will be spoiled and may be that will be the end of our story. So, I think about it and decide that I'll never try to express my feelings because I really really don't want to lose him as a friend.
I-I thought that we'll be a perfect couple and meant for each other but now it's just a dream for me which will never come true...
I wanted to be alone so I went to playground and sat under a tree at the corner where no one saw me. I started crying and I didn't know how long I had cried. It was first time that I cried for some one.
Suddenly, someone put a hand on my shoulder. I didn't notice who the person was, as I was so lost in my thoughts. But when I heard the voice of that person, I lost my control and cried out loud. She was Aku, she knew that she'll find me here.
"Calm down Riwa, tell me what happened? Who made you cried so hard? She asked me worriedly.
I was silent and just crying. I was avoiding to face her and then she said "Is it because of him? "
I looked at her and said that I really don't want to talk about him just now. And then I stood up and left from there.
Maybe we are better off just friends. Maybe we were never meant to be.If that's what it is then I can't do anything but accept the truth no matter how bitter or suffocating it is.
