Uncertain Love

Chapter 14 - Relationship Complicated

Harsha's POV
Keshav and I stood next to each other as we watched the sight, Anand and another girl. Madhu was her name. I chewed on my food thoughtfully.
"You're telling me they're in a relationship. And everyone's fine with it." He nodded.
"They're parents don't care, if that's what you're implying."
"Some people are just born lucky huh?" I said.
He chuckled.
"Can I tell you something honestly?"
"I already know what you're going to say," I said. He raised his eyebrows.
I cleared my throat, and talked in a deeper voice, "If it weren't for Sneha and Shiva I would have really liked you. But I guess I was a a** since the beginning so you wouldn't have accepted anyways" I said patting his shoulder.
He laughed louder now.
"Are you a mind reader?"
"I have my ways."
"That isn't what I was going to say though."
"Aww, I thought I had it."
"He's scared. That's why," he said with concern, "He's scared you'd leave him, or people would separate you two."

Shiva's POV
"So you and Harsha...?" I started. He grinned.
"Me and Harsha what?"
"You two are a thing now?"
No. No. No. Say no.
"Hmmm," he said deep in thought, "I don't know." I nodded expectantly.
Keshav went over to the car, his mom picks him up from school.
"She's cool, but not enough for me," he said.
"Is that a no then?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Stop doubting yourself, idiot. It's obvious who it is" he said walking away.
I smiled in satisfaction and walked to the bus stop.

It started to drizzle. Harsha stood at the stop next to Ananad, a chocolate bar in her hand.
My eyes narrowed slightly.
"Where did you get that from?" I asked, standing beside her.
She chewed thoughtfully. "Take a guess."
"Stop asking questions like that."
"A random guy from school gave it to me, and didn't say anything. Getting a chocolate bar and peace, haven't seen that in a while."
"You have a really strange way of putting things," Anand commented. She smiled.
"Haven't you heard not to take stuff from strangers?" I said.
"It's not like something's going to happen to me, either way you're right next to me." She winked with a slight mock.
I exhaled. Is she playing me?
"Woah, have you two finally said it?" Anand asked.
"Said what" we both said at the same time. Anand's expression became confused. I turned back to Harsha.
"Keshav said he doesn't like you," I whispered.
"I never said he liked me, I asked who you think he likes."
"You said in a way that made me think it was you."
She shook her head and smiled.
"It's Sneha but he got friend zoned. I thought you were his best friend, do you not know?"
I shook my head.
"I guess I'm stealing all your best friends too," she said. The ends of my lips lifted.
"What do you mean by too?" She shrugged. We didn't talk for a minute.
"What will you do if I leave?" I exhaled, I wasn't expecting this question already.
"Wait, what else can I do?"
"That's not real life. They'll get you married to someone, same goes for me. What will you do then?"
"I don't know, should we be thinking about it."
"We should. I don't want both of us to end up regretting this."
"It's not something you can control anyways. It's been years," I said with concern.
"If something like that happens, you shouldn't think about me and I won't either. It's not right to."
"I'll wait as long as I can. You will too, won't you."
"A few more years wouldn't hurt right? Maybe if we become older it'll be easier."
"This is why I didn't want to..." I didn't finish my sentence.
"Even if you didn't want to, will you be able to forget me?"
I bit my lip and shook my head.
"Then isn't it right to do this?"
"I won't be able to forget you at all if I do this."
"Then don't." Her voice was low but angry.
The bus came and she started walking up to it.
"Harsha. I don't want to." She turned around, "Forget you," I said. She grinned, and I smiled back.
"I'm so confused. What's going on?" Anand mumbled as he dragged Shiva from his trance to the bus.

A/N: Same here Anand, same here. Except that I'm the writing so I shouldn't be relating-
