Vikram POV

Darn it what did I do ??

Diya was going through something and she shared her emotions with me. She gave me that privilege to know her deepest fears and thoughts. I was suppost to console her and my work is done there but what did I do ?

I took advantage of her vulnerability. Okay, I like her more than I like myself, Fine, I love her but that is not the point, her emotions were not in place, she was sad, scared and the important thing is she trusted me. What did I do with her trust ?

I took advantage of that, she looked at me with those big, beautiful eyes and I lost control over myself. I was embarassed and angry about myself. I would have never forgived myself if we went ahead with what ever was happening because I am pretty sure the very next day she would have regretted it, she would have hated herself for giving in, she would have panicked. She would have not blamed me, she would have blamed herself for her state and whatever relationship we have built so far would have been broken with my immaturity. Diya dint love me, so if we would have dived into it, she would have lost the respect on herself in her own eyes and I would hate that to happen. 

That is the reason why I stopped in between no matter how difficult it was, I apolozised and turned away from her. I heard her soft sobs and I can assume on why she was crying, she was dissapointed in herself, she was blaming herself but I was her culprit. I should have stayed away after consoling her.

Diya POV

The next day by the time I got up, Vikram already got ready. He was buttoning up his shirt when I opened my eyes. 

Vikram: Diya, we are late today, please get ready soon. We have to leave in a while, Zyra is up and ready so, get ready and we will head out.

I looked at him, he was avoiding my eyes, he was trying to divert and avoid the conversation, he knews we would be having.

I rushed in to the washroom, brushed my teeth, finished my chores and shower in 20 minutes. I packed my breakfast in a box, took my lunch bag packed by Aunty, gave a few kisses to Zyra and stepped into the car. I observed Vikram once we were in the car, I am pretty sure he is wishing he could have avoided riding along with me but this is the time and I wanted to talk.

Me: Vikram, I wanted to talk about yesterday

I saw that Vikram was holding the steering wheel real tight now but he stayed silent.

Me: Vikram, I really want to talk about what happened yesterday

Vikram: Look, I messed up okay ? I just lost control like any hot blooded male and it was not appreciated , I know. I know that you dont hold any feelings for me so ofcourse you regret it and you dont want it to happen again, I get that Okay. I am sorry, you were vulnerable and I lost my control, it was not my intention though. It would never happen again.

Me: Vikram but ...

Vikram: Diya, we are late for college. I dont want to talk about this right now. This is not the right place or the right time, so can you please keep quiet ?

Me: Please listen to me, I 

He switched on the radio and there was a loud metallic song playing. Now he is really testing my patience. I switched off the radio and gave him a challenging look, he switched it on again and I did the same.

Vikram: Diya stop doing that 

Me: Start listening to me you fool

Vikram: Diya, did you just call me a fool ?

Me: Ofcourse I did, you just assume stuff, do your talking and you refuse to listen. Ofcourse you are a fool.

Me : Stop the car right now Vikram and speak to me. I dare you to do that.
