Author's P.O.V
While Neel, jack and sarah were walking to Sarah's place , Neel was in a deep thought. It was like he was physically present there but not mentally. His thoughts were tied around Neha's words .
'you know Neel? I thought as a bestfriend you had a little bit trust on me ..I thought I actually deserve a chance to explain and you would give me that chance for the sake for our three years old friendship..but I guess my friendship failed infront of your three months old relationship..anyway have a happy life with your love..I won't be a bother anymore'
He started to regret for not giving her a chance to explain, he was regretting for those harsh words he said to her at the heat of that moment. She was his bestfriend for three years, how could he break their friendship so easily? 'Maybe there was some misunderstanding' he thought.
She was with him at his worst , she was the one, whom he would share everything, she was the one who stood with him in his hard times. She would never think bad about him .
And if what ever he heard or what jack said was true she still deserved to be forgiven for once. She deserved a chance to change herself.
" Neel!!"
Sarah called her boyfriend while shaking his arm which she was hugging before.
" huh?....did you said something?"
Neel asked after coming out of his thoughts.
" you're lost ....what were you thinking? I called you so many times"
" ohh....sorry...I zoned out ..what were you saying by the way?"
" let's grab some snacks before we go. I just returned last night, didn't get the time to but groceries, my fridge is empty "
" sure..."
Neel replied with a smile , which didn't reach his eyes like it would always do.
" Great!..oh jack can you buy some icecream while me and Neel deal with the groceries? "
She asked her brother, but her face said " don't you dare to say no!"
Jack smirked at return.
" okay little sis..have fun with your boyfriend, I didn't like to third wheel anyway "
He said rolling his eyes and made his way toward the nearby icecream shop.
Sarah and Neel went to the store. Throughout the shopping session Neel seemed to be lost . He was silent. Whatever her girlfriend asked her he would reply with a 'hmm' and 'okay' only. Sarah grew frustrated as she didn't get her boyfriend's attention.
"Neel"
" yeah ? "
Neel replied focusing on his girlfriend.
" do you want you favourite cookies? "
" uhh..buy whatever you want baby..I am okay with it "
His reply didn't satisfy sarah as she asked him something again.
" are you thinking about Neha ? "
" w-why do you think that ? "
He asked while glancing at the shelfs filled with different snacks .
" cause you look absent since the drama she caused at school ...babe you should be happy that she got exposed ...she is a snake "
Sarah said while holding his arms hating the fact that her man was thinking about another girl .
" babe don't you think I should've given her a second chance?..she is my best friend , she always stood with me in my up and downs..she might lost her path...she will not do something like that in her right mind "
Neel said to her girlfriend as he couldn't bear the mess in his mind anymore expecting a good advice from her.
" are you serious Neel ? She tried to ruin us !! She called me characterless!! Yet you're still taking her side uh? ..she is not a kid who doesn't know what is good and what is not !! She is clearly jealous of us !! ..she is trying to take you away from me Neel!!"
Sarah was clearly frustrated of his boyfriend's behavior. She couldn't bear when her boyfriend took other girl's side.
" Maybe there is some misunderstanding, Neha is not that type of girl , I know her for three years "
" what are you trying to say Neel ? "
" I am just trying to say that I atleast should have given her a chance to explain "
" Neel jack clearly said what she thinks about me ...we clearly heard what she said right? ...then what do you mean by misunderstanding? Do you mean that jack lied ? Or do you mean we're deaf ? "
" I didn't mean it that way !!...you know what ? Just let's get this shopping thing and talk at home....I don't want a scene in public "
Neel said before walking farther to isles with the cart.
