One Out of Two!!

19. Silence

I tried to avoid Peter for the next two days because I don't know how to face him, what questions to ask or how to react to something he would say. My mind is just collapsed, I know I need to react to this but sometimes silence is also a reaction. It's not a bad idea to take some space and time.

He tried to talk with me continuously, I believe he has something to explain, something I definitely need to know. Slowly my anger faded like the fog in the morning and I started missing him.

I know I would miss him because I made him my world, my happiness.. almost everything. I want to know his reason behind this, what made him hide about Betty? I think no one knows about their relationship because Dina never said anything. Maybe they are in a secret relationship.

My trust got broken but I'm still trying to make positive assumptions because somewhere I still believe that Peter is not a cheater or a bad guy or a player like Robert.

What made me trust him so much?

Today Olivia invited us to her home after our school to hear a new song. I'm not in a mood to listen to her tragic song but Dina forced me. I have no choice. Dina came to pick me up in the evening and we started our drive to Olivia's house.

"Are you going to tell me why you are behaving strange these days?" Dina mumbled slowly with her hands on the wheel.

"I am not." I just said plainly and Dina looked at me.

"I'm sure there is something, it's something related to Peter. I saw you avoiding him." She said and I stayed silent.

"So you don't want to talk about it?" She asked. I don't know whether to share with her or not.

"It's just, I'll tell you later." I stumbled and she nodded slowly.

"Then stop being in a bad mood then." She demanded.

"And I'm not in a mood to listen to Olivia's sad song too," I mumbled.

"Come on! How you gonna say that?? Who knows what song she would sing?" She groaned.

"It's obvious.. She only sings sad songs." I stated.

"You can't say that, you just heard like maybe 10 songs of her." She said.

"And all of them are sad ones only," I mumbled.

"Maybe it's her thing.." Dina admitted.

"Those are her real feelings, she's hiding something," I said.

"No, she just sings with so much feel, that makes everyone think like you." She explained.

"It's not true Dina.. She has something to say but she holds it within herself." I said.

"I don't think soo.." She hummed.

"But I know." I snapped.

"What??" She widened her eyes.

"I know, I mean I noticed something," I said.

"Tell me what's it?" She spat on my face.

"I'll.. wait," I said.

"When?" She groaned.

"If Olivia sings a sad song today, I'll tell you," I told her and she glared at me.

"I swear!" I promised.

We reached Olivia's house and went upstairs to her room. When we opened the door Olivia stood at her window sneak peeking at something. I know what is it anyway. She welcomed us with a bright smile.
