Love Find it's Way!

Chaitanya-

When I hugged her, I felt a peace in my soul. My breath became normal. When she tried to make me realize that she is Ruhi not Kaylee. Woman, I knew that, but stayed quiet due to her cool vibe which was calming me. When I realized I hugged her tightly for a long time and she was struggling to get out of my grip, I released her avoiding her gaze.

She tried to talk to me, but I stayed quiet because I didn't want her to be in this mess or should I say that I just wanted to talk with the person who won't judge me and listen just to me. I told her to leave but as usual her stubbornness... She stayed there.

When she said that she won't judge and just wants to hear my feelings, I was surprised. How did she get to know what I was thinking? I sat on the floor just to calm myself more and thought that she might go if I stayed quiet. But she didn't budge from there. After a long half hour, I broke the silence. But still she was quiet.

This girl literally gets on my nerves sometimes.

"Okay! As you promised you will listen to me, then please don't taunt me about this incident."

"Okay, Promise!!" She nearly yelled in excitement as if I'm going to narrate an interesting story.

"Go easy girl..."

She frowned.

"You know that I used to like Kaylee a lot. I hate the fact that if someone tries to deceive me. And when Kaylee revealed the truth, I felt like I'm useless. I always adored her, liked her, every time I tried to make sure that she was happy and comfortable but all went in vain. She is with someone else, only just because he is near to my status-"

"You never loved her, right?"

I was numb over her question.

"Chaitanya, I understand that this might be a very painful incident for you, but you are harming yourself for the person, who was never yours. And you are hell-bent to destroy everything you claimed by your hard work. For once, you didn't think about your family, your achievement and that just because of her. Great Mr. Chaitanya Reddy." She frowned.

"Chaitanya, I knew you were sincere but some things are not in our hands. 'Love' is beautiful when the mate is Right. I'm sure you might have tried a lot but your family is also your love. Am I right? So try to accept the fact and slowly take the grip of your life according to your will in your hands and establish yourself as a better person. I'm sure one day you will find your true love who will not leave you and love you unconditionally. Therefore, cry as much as you want now but later I don't want to see you cry for her again." she sternly voiced her advice.

I was struck by her words. Actually, she is right. A sudden guilt pangs in my heart. I was never there for my family who loved me truly.

We both got up and went outside near Dhruv who was patiently waiting for me. As soon as I saw him, I felt a bit guilty. He was there for me, but I kept shouting at him. I just hugged him lightly and apologized to him for my behavior. Ruhi and Dhruv, both were shocked. I sat in the driver's seat and gestured to both of them to take the seat. The drive was quite silent. Soon in 1 hour we reached home.

We all went to our respective rooms.
