When I Met You

Chapter 34: Goodbyes aren't that Cool

ADITI POV

Rather then being wrapped around Sid, my arms were wrapped around a pillow. I was looking at the ceiling until I heard the sound of feet shuffling, which caused me to look up.

"Hey" Sid says in a quiet voice.

Lifting myself up, I smile sadly at him and start getting out of bed towards the bathroom.

"Do you want coffee?"

"No" I replied.

"C'mon Aids, our last cup together for a while now! Please???"

"Stop! Both of you please! Enough of this last time this and that! I get it, you guys are leaving okay!" I said getting annoyed.

"I told you guys to stop but no." Varun says.

I laugh shakily before sitting on a uncomfortable plastic chair, averting my gaze to my shoes. We were at the airport waiting for them to take off. Sid and Shanti kept treating me like a baby because of the fact that they were leaving. Varun understood that that I was getting annoyed and just stayed quiet trying to make the situation better.

"Aditi, why are you so angry?" Sidharth says taking a seat next to me.

"I honestly don't know why. I know that you're saying that we will see each other while we both are in two different places but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.I just don't know why. When we are first away from each other we will talk to each other but then time changes will happen, you and Varun will get busy with you careers and Shanti, well Shanti will find something to do to." I finished.

"I promise to call you everyday even if you do get annoying okay!" Shanti responds with Varun nodding.

"Adit-" Sidharth starts.

"Please make your way to Gate 24 for the take off the India." a robotic voice calls.

I close my eyes harshly before standing up.

"This isn't goodbye you weirdo. I'll miss you the most." I say to Shanti before giving her a tight hug.

She whispers in my ear as we are hugging, "I doubt that you'll miss me the most honey."

I chuckled at her response as she makes her way to Varun and her bags.

"Don't become a stranger okay! We'll all come down to see you and you also come to India." Varun says when I walk over to them.

"I have a feeling I'll be coming to India for those pics." I said before engulfing him into a hug.

They made their way over to the gate that wasn't so far away from Sid and I.

"So, I guess this is goodbye for a while now isn't it." I said leaving back and forth with my hands in my black jeans.

"Shut up Aditi" he says as grabbing my waist and putting his hand at the small of my back.

Taking my hands out of my pockets I wrapped them around his neck before kissing back very passionately and harsh.

After a few seconds I pulled back knowing the annoying voice overhead would come again.

We were still close to each other since his hands were still wrapped around my waist.

Breathing hard he replied, "Don't consider this your last kiss or goodbye from me."

But it was already chanting in my head.

Last hug.

Last kiss.

Curse me and my emotions.

Nonetheless I nodded my head yes vigorously.

"Don't leave me Sid." I said leaning my head against his chest.

"I never have, and I never will."

"Last call for all attendants to India,please make their way to Gate 24" the voice called.

He hugged me tighter and mumbled a shut up to the voice that wouldn't ever hear him.

I looked up to kiss him which he gladly did too.

"C'mon Sid we have to go." Varun yelled from the gate.

I looked over Sid's shoulder to see Shanti and him being the only ones outside with an annoyed lady waiting for Sid. He looked over to and sighed knowing it was his time to leave.

I turned myself so that my back was on Shanti and Varun, and that Sid was where I was before.

Looking up to him he softly ran his hand across my cheek and kissed it before holding my shoulder with one hand and grabbing his bags with the other.

Soon enough he left go because of the struggle of holding his bags and started walking away. I heard his footsteps slowly descend away before I heard him whisper a faint "Bye Aditi"

I didn't look up to turn around once, but when he said that I faintly looked up to see him and my 2 other friends already gone.

I sensed tears forming at the corner of my eyes but quickly whipped them away.

It's not going to stay how it was, as much as he tells me and himself. Sure we'll talkand FaceTime,but it won't stick.My
mind took over with the negative thoughts again.

That was my last hug.

Last kiss.

Last goodbye...

or at least I thought it was.
