Once Erik left the canteen or should I say he run away, I got a bit shock and confused too as I am not able to understand what's the reason behind his behavior. Though, I go back and sit at my seat, I look at Ketty and Zoe faces they have same face expression, after some minutes it filled with curiosity too.
Ketty: What the hell was that?
Zoe: May be he got too much worried plus concerned for you that it scares him.
Siya: (Huffing in annoyance) I don't know, its really very difficult to understand him because he is such a mystery person.
Ketty: Then how do you spend time with him without understanding him?
Siya: Simple, I observed his behavior in different situations, knows his likes and dislikes. This help me to behave the way he wanted or liked a person to behave with him or in front of him.
Zoe: Hmmm such an analytical friendship you are sharing with the person.
Siya: Yeah, its simple and clear. Do you two have any pending classes?
Ketty & Zoe: Nope we are done for the day.
Siya: Cool lets go for walk then we can leave from there directly. I need to relax my mind, as I am feeling a bit headache and drowsiness too.
Ketty: Cool. But next time I am going to try with you Marijuana.
Siya: Okay but I am not going to try it but surely you can try it with Erik.
As the conversation ended, we all move towards the near by park. Initially we walk there for like five to eight minutes then we sit on the grass, I start humming a tune and soon Ketty and Zoe followed the same tune. Honestly, this I admire the most the way we are connected through music too, though Ketty more fan of rock style music and Zoe and me are more fan of soft music. However, our humming turns into full blown singing, the song we are singing is just the way you are by Bruno Mars.
Though our singing got interrupted, as I suddenly got embraced in some one's cold hug and I don't need to see that person to know who it is because only Erik can be the one who can give me the these type of cold hugs. As usual I stay stiff looked around, Ketty and Zoe looking at me shockingly I guess they are shocked too just like me seeing Erik's behavior. However, after some minute he broke the hug and initiated the conversation,
Erik: I got scare and worried, you ignored me. You never ignored me, why you do it? I left because I got overwhelmed with emotions.
Siya: (after thinking for a bit) I guess when the drug hit off in mind, my body reacted this way. I am sorry for hurting you. (Though I know I am not wrong here but my behavior hurt him plus he got scare and worried for me, so I think its okay to say sorry. However, I am someone who would say sorry even though I am not at fault, I believe one should never think before saying sorry but when it would come to my self respect, forgiving or saying sorry would go to hell, in addition to this I won't be looking that person or a thing ever).
Erik: Its okay, thank for apologies. I know you would never ignore me no matter what happen.
With this our conversation ended, he leave us saying he had some work to do so, he is going and will meet us tomorrow. As soon as he left Ketty spoke up,
Ketty: (Frustration and bit angry) He is taking you for granted and why the hell you said sorry, it was not your mistake he is insecure, he doesn't trusted or understand you.
Siya: Relax, calm down angry hulk (with slightly smiling). I know I am not wrong here but may be I felt I am the reason he felt those emotions because of me, so I said sorry thinking he would feel better. One should learn to say sorry often, until and unless matter come to where self respect matter. And lastly I told you before, this so called friendship is because of need plus analytical one, not understanding trust and emotions involved.
Ketty: (huffing) okay
Zoe: (with bright smile) Look I told you, the reason of his running away.
Siya: (joining her hand in front of Zoe) O yeah yeah, you are the only one who has drank psychological solutions plus you are the only one who knows everything and we are here stupid ones. (With this we three laughed out, whole heartedly)
After an hour we leave the school, though I am feeling slight headache and my legs are still shaking but effects are quite minimum so, soon when I reach home I take a bath, brushed my teeth and eat some food. After that I spend few hour in doing some assignment, then called it a night.
Next day when I reached school, during my third lecture just before lunch time Erik meet me and drag me outside the school and off course without answering any of my question which I am asking mostly out of curiosity and in objection too. (Sometimes I really think, he is just an arrogant irritated child and he take school for joke like see most of the time he usually bunk the school, do drugs or alcohol in the school finally his this kind of behavior with me, what I am to him a rag doll). However, soon we reached outside of the school near parking lot area and finally he sopped dragging me but his hold on my hand is still tight.
Siya: (With slight glare) What the hell is this? What is going on? How many times I have to told you don't behave with me like this?
Erik: (keeping one finger on his lip) Shhhh I have a surprise for you. Just wait calmly.
Siya: (huffing) Okay
We may have waited around for 10 minutes I guess, I can see girl is coming in our direction with jet black hair. When she come more close to us, I can see her closely now and she is pretty, hot, sexy her eye color is reddish orange this is quite weird actually may be she is has her contact lenses on. Now she is standing just few three to four feats away from me, I can feel like she is posing some kind of danger, can harm and in short I am feeling super in uneasy and uncomfortable in standing this close to her. Just because of this, I intentionally took two back steps However, soon Erik broke my thought process by initiating the conversation,
Erik: Siya this is my girl friend Mia and Mia this is my best friend Siya
Siya: (with confused and fake smile) Hey
Mia: (with fake smile too) Hey
Erik: Siya we met yesterday and I think she can be the with whom I can spend my whole life, I really like her and she is a good human being and humble in nature just like you she do care for me, listen to my every talk, decision, respect and trust me
Siya: Okay (Internally I rolled my eyes at him, not even its twenty four and he founded someone on whom he can trust that much. And he is saying that this girl is just like me Wow).
While Erik is saying all those things I can see Mia is smirking.
Erik: And I introduced to her because I want both of you to become friends.
Siya & Mia: Why? No way.
Erik: Its simple because I want both you two to be in my life plus I want to spend time with you together.
Mia: Are you mad? In our time why we would involve her to be with use, there should be some personal space. (At least she has brains, I thought)
Erik: (with stern voice) I am not mad, it I just don't want either of to feel left out, when I am with another one.
Siya: I am fine with your relationship and I agree with Mia too. I won't be feeling left out, because I have My friends too (last part I just mutter slowly, though I guess Mia have heard it because she give smile at me and this time its genuine and it surprised me).
Erik & Mia: Okay. We will meet tomorrow as we are going out today. Bye.
With this they leave from there and I sigh with relief. I check my phone to know how much time I still have for my lunch, I have half n hour so, with I entered in the canteen quickly and start having my laung in the corner seat of the canteen. Today, I am eating my lunch alone all thanks to Erik and his stupidity, but I am not alone technically because as my mind is running marathon with all the logical and illogical thoughts,
Siya: Just in a day how can people choose that, someone can be the part of their whole life. Why there is need to mix relationships as in friendship has its own meaning and romantic relationship has its own meaning then why they should mingle with each other, can't they both stand at their different level. Honestly, I believe a person should know how to balance them, I mean look at me how I am trying to divide my time among my friends so, I could enjoy all of their company. And lastly I am thinking about Erik and his doubts that I am his best friend who trust and understand him better which I don't. Uff all these thought are so exhausting.
However soon my thought process broke down, as the bell ring, I go for my next class which is not going to happen as teacher is absent. So, I choose to go to library and relax for an hour, as I am moving towards the library, Jazz voice from my behind stopped me in my track.
Jazz: Hey Siya
Siya: Hey Jazz
Jazz: Where are you going?
Siya: To the library why?
Jazz: Nothing, I want to ask you something may I?
Siya: Sure and you don't have to be formal, okay?
Jazz: Tomorrow is holiday, want to go and watch movie with me?
Siya: I would love too, by the way which movie?
Jazz: (Doing her little dance) cool and I am not going to tell the name of the movie (she just ran off)
I chuckled a little, seeing her this behavior. I move into the library thinking how I can found two gems for my self. One is Vicz and second is Jazz, they are crazy but pure hear soul. However, An hour in library, I listen to songs plucking earphones in pretending to study, then I attended three more class. After that I reached home, performed my daily routine, soon called it night with the thought of excitement with Jazz while watching movie because I know spending time with her can never be boring.
