Suddenly

Chapter 46

AHAAN'S POV
"How far will you run? Before you realise you're not running away from me? You're running to me" I asked her looking straight into her eyes, which were red and tears were threatening to come out.

I still loved her and God knows how much I wanted her to be in Naira's place. Everything was hurting me and I didn't even know what was my fault? The only thing I did was to love her so much. They used to say that love was painful, it is but what I was going through was worst. My anger was hurting me and I wished I could hate her..but everytime I looked at her a part of me loved her even more. The person in front of me was not the same Sukhi I used to see.

"Leave me, Ahaan" she said but I didn't let her go "You ar-are hurting m-me" Sukhi said and I held her even more tightly "Not as much I've been through" I told her with my eyes full of hate. I didn't know why I was angry and I wanted to hurt her, the same way as she hurt me. Just then I pushed her and she fell on the ground and I looked at her with hate. "Oh, I am sorry. Should I be sorry, right? Oh my god" I acted concerned and she looked at me in disbelief with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Oh please..don't show me your fake tears now. Do you think I will fall for it again?" I told her and she cleaned her tears with her arms and tried to get up but it seemed her ankle was sprained. Sukhi tried to get up again but fell down again. This time she started crying out loud. I looked away not being able to look at her.

"D-do you really think Ahaan, it was easy for me? Huh? I've been also through hell all of these years. I made a mistake I know that, but can't you see I did it for you!" She sobbed "I couldn't even talk to my best friend, who is now begging for an explanation..an explanation? I don't even have one" she laughed in sadness and looked down on the floor while tears flowing her cheeks. "I loved you t-to the point that I was ready to leav-ve everything so you could a-achieve your dreams" Sukhi looked at me a painful face  "Oh, I am sorry. Right my fake tears" she wiped her tears and finally stood up.

My heart broke seeing her in that state, a part of me thought that she was playing the victim card but my heart was telling me 'Look at her red and teary eyes'. Everything stopped for a moment and I realised: for all of these years I was just being selfish. The only thing that mattered to me was that she hurt me and I was going through hell just because of her. Never have I thought about anything else, just about my pain.

But who told her to do this? I was willing to face any kind of challenge with and for her. Why did she choose to run away from me?

My hands closed into fists.

"I didn't ask you to do all of this" I told her coldly and she looked at me "What would you have done if you were me, Ahaan? Would you let me sacrifice my dreams? I couldn't! I saw you dreaming about since the day I met you. I knew how important it was for you" Sukhi said and I felt numb. I didn't know what to feel. All I felt was guilt at that moment. If I was her, what would I have done?

All she wanted was my dreams to become true. I couldn't even realise that she left everything..for me.

I bit my cheek to the point I felt the metallic taste of my own blood. I looked at her still wiping her tears "I am t-trying, it's just tears aren't stopping" she sobbed. For a moment, I saw my Sukhi. The girl who always used to cried for the tiniest thing.

I looked down with teary eyes and without thinking about anything, I quickly walked towards her. She was still crying. Sukhi looked at me confused not knowing what I was doing and truly speaking even I didn't know that but all I wanted was to feel her next to me. The last time I saw her, she was that childish girl and now the girl in front of me was a woman who lost everything because of me.

I hugged her tightly and she let her cry on my chest "I-I am sorry" Sukhi sobbed and I shook my head "I hurt you" she continued and as I was about to tell her that I was sorry too but my phone rang. I didn't let her go. I missed her so much that I couldn't let her go. No one could ever replace her not even Naira..wait..Naira? What am I doing? I can't do this!

I suddenly broke the hug and looked at my phone and saw Naira's missed call. I looked at Sukhi and I realised it was too late now... "It's not right..this is not right" I said while putting my hand on my forehead. Sukhi looked at me confused and worried "What's not right?" she asked me "Me and you..it's not right" I told her "You can't just come and change everything to what it was before..it's too late now" I continued and looked at her "You should also stay happy with Arjun" I told her and she shook her head confused "I am not dating him" she told me and I stepped back. I didn't know why I felt numb, as if I couldn't understand what was happening. I loved Sukhi but I felt like it was too late.

"Ahaan?" Sukhi called me and I looked at her "N-No, stay away from me" I stepped back again "Why?" she asked me and I couldn't understand "If I stay more than two minutes here..I will.." I stopped myself "You will what?" She asked me again "I will fall for you again and I will ruin someone's life..and I can't break Naira's heart" I told her and she stopped as if she realised what was actually happening downstairs. I looked at her with tears and anger "If you only would have come earlier..Sukhi" I told her and without thinking twice or waiting for her to say something I left shutting the door of the rooftop hardly.

I didn't know why I was behaving like that but I couldn't break someone's heart. Someone who didn't deserve.
