Chapter No # 17

"A Pure Friendship"

In S.P.A.C.E Academy
In Music Department
Near Fab5's Jam Room
Though Aliya pretended not to Cry or stopped Herself from Crying in front of Fab4. It Hurts to see Your Love loving someone else but it Hurts more when Relationship is forceful. She had tried everything to make Her Relationship work with Manik. She organised their Many FIRST TIMES only to be left alone on that Day though Fab3 were there for Her but not the Person to whom She had actually organised for.
She understands Him and that's why She never forced Herself or their Relation on Him, She accepted Him with all His Flaws. She didn't try to change Him as She also Loves this Version of Manik too.

In these 7 Years, Aliya Saxena has died daily seeing & hearing Manik Her Boyfriend who is Her X now going to Viva Hotel. For Once She told Him,

[Aliya: Manik please don't go there.
Manik (Helplessly): I can't Aliya. It's like it has become My Need. Though THAT DRUG'S effect had been finished from My System but it left a Huge Impact on Me. If I don't do this I feel I will die in Frustration. It's…
Aliya: If You can't leave this then do it with Me.
Manik (Angrily): Are You Mad? Do You have any Idea what are You saying Aliya? Though I don't Love You but as a Friend I would never ever do that. Keep that in Your Mind.
Aliya: Buttt.
Manik (Interruptingly): If You Love Me then Swear on Your Love that from now onwards You won't say this.]

After that Aliya didn't say anything but died daily as firstly Her Love isn't Reciprocated and secondly daily She has to see Her Boyfriend going to Viva to let out His Frustrations.
In these 7 Years, She tried to create Space in His Heart but was never successful. This Morning She told to Fab3,

"She won't let anyone snatch Her Manik, Her Love from Her."

And soon She realized how Wrong She was that Manik was never Hers. HE WAS SOMEONE'S ELSE infact HE WAS NEVER HERS.

Though She stopped Herself from Crying infront of Her Friends especially Manik as She doesn't want Him to feel Guilty. Falling Love is not Planned, it's Natural. So how can She blame Manik when He has no fault in first hand.

Running out of the Jam Room, She comes near to another Room and Cries loudly letting Her Pain out. But She doesn't know Her Every action was noticed and it was noticed by Manik who felt guilty. He knows it's His Fault and He needs to clear this Mess. Agreed He doesn't Love Her as a Lover but come on She is His Best Friend. Holding His Emotions, He walks near to Aliya and Hugs Her. Soon feeling Him Aliya melts in His Arms. And.

Aliya: Am I that Bad Manik?
Manik: No Aloo it's not You it's Me. I couldn't…
Aliya (Interruptingly): I had Crush on You when You saved Me from that Ugly Fatty Oldie. But My Crush changed into something more Pure when You stopped Me from Committing Suicide. But when My Crush changed into Love I didn't even know.

(Then breaking the Hug.)

Aliya: Manik tell Me something WAS I REALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU? As Love is always Reciprocated and Love can not be One Sided. Tell Me Manik, had I really fallen for You? Had I misunderstand My Pure Friendship Feelings as Love towards You? Tell na Manik why are You silent.

(Hearing this Manik makes Helpless Face.)

Manik: Aliya I wish I had answers of Your Questions. I don't know what Love is and what You feel when You are in Love. (Pause) You know Aloo how I reached the Brothel. The Betrayal I had faced made Me to hate & loathe every Relations. Only You Guyz are exceptional & different but still My Inner Pain & Hurt doesn't let Me Trust You all fully.
Aliya: I understand Manik.
Manik: Aloo THAT BETRAYAL had ended everything in My Life. Neither I could accept all of You fully nor My Adopted Mother. The Betrayal I faced that Times I got to spend there in Brothel had made Me Realize there is nothing called LOVE & INNOCENCE. Being Committed, Engaged or Married still Men or Women came there to fulfill their Pleasures which They couldn't get from their Partner. And My Faint Belief in LOVE completely shattered there. And I got to realize if You have Power, Fame, Money, You are Monster then no one can Crush You but if You are Innocent & Naive then You are going to be bullied & Crushed mercilessly.
Aliya: But Manik You told about Your Chubby Cheeks She is Pure.
Manik: Yeah She is the only Purest Soul in the World I have come across. That's why I don't want to drag Her in My Messed Up live where I don't know what I could do in My Hunger or worst could bring Danger to Her.
Aliya: Hmmm. Manik if there are Bad People then there are Good Persons too. See Your Chubby Cheeks is there in World of Evils. If Innocence exists then LOVE also exists. Don't You think so?
Manik: I don't know Aloo. Maybe and Maybe not. (Pause) So I was saying I don't know anything about Love so how can I answer to Your Questions since for Me LOVE IS NOTHING except just an Emotion and People in Love are always tend to face Betrayals. And secondly if it was in My Hand then I would have made Myself Feel something for You except Friendship.
