17-{My First Love?💘}

Shriya's Pov

I was sitting in my cabin and smiling widely while looking at the locket around my neck, as I couldn't help but be glad about making up with Ishan again! Things really hadn't gone the way I'd hoped for but who doesn't have a bad day in relationships! Every couple fight once in a while and that's what makes the relation even stronger!

After going through all that had happened in this short span of time I'd realized that Ishan had become a very big part of my life, and my heart had ached so much when we had to part ways, but you know how it's said, that if you believe in your love, no one else can take it away from you! And now I just hoped that we wouldn't have any more bad days between us, I wanted to make each and every moment a memorable one for both of us.

I was busy staring at my locket when my chain of thoughts was broken because of a knock on my cabin's door, I looked up to find Abhishek peeping in with a blank look on his face and I realized that I hadn't talked to him since almost two days after that argument of ours!

Abhishek just walked in and kept a file on my table while I kept looking at him, "I've reviewed the file and signed it, you can carry on with your part now!" He said and I just nodded slowly while he turned and walked back towards the door to leave when I stopped him from behind, "Abhay!"

"Can we talk if you're not busy?" I asked him and he looked at me turning over his shoulder and then just sighed while looking down as he nodded his head and I immediately got up as we came and sat on the couch in the corner.

We sat there in silence for a few minutes while I was trying to frame up the right words to say because I knew that it was my fault, and I shouldn't have lashed up at him, as he was just trying to look out for me so that I doesn't get hurt!

"Looks like you made with Ishan!" Abhishek said breaking the silence and I looked up at him as I asked, "How.... Do you know?"

"The way you were staring at that locket and smiling.....says it all" He said and I just nodded my head slowly while looking at my hands as I said almost in a murmur, "Yeah! I just...we had to.... I mean I couldn't handle how I'd felt after deciding to let him go... So  we just made! It wasn't a big fight you know"

"Ohh! I'm glad...that you guys made up! I just...want you to be happy!" Abhishek said and I looked at him as he wasn't even looking straight at me, "I'm sorry!" I said and he finally looked up and as our eyes met I could see how hurt he was!

"You don't need to be! I mean you weren't wrong when you said that you can take care of yourself....I was just out of line! I shouldn't have said those things" Abhishek said and I just shooked my head while I held his hand in mine saying, "No! It's not like that Abhay! You were just looking out for me and I didn't understood that! I know you really care for me and don't want me to get hurt! So you have all the right to look out for me! Isn't that what best friends are for"

"Yeah right! And I'll always look out for you even if you ask me not to or shout at me. I'll never stop caring for you Chia! I just don't know why I keep feelings uneasy about this....I know that I don't have anything to do with Ishan or what kind of person he is but everything that's been happening just made me want to be sure that you weren't getting hurt!" Abhishek said and I nodded my head while rubbing his hand as he looked so much troubled right now and I knew that half of the fault was mine.

"Is it because of Arshita? Because they're best friends?" I asked him slowly and he just sighed while looking down as he said, "I don't know! It shouldn't bother me but.... It's just the way they act...something is very eerie about that and I don't want something hurtful or bad to happen to you because of my problems"

"I won't! I promise I won't get hurt and definitely not because of your problems! You trust me right!" I asked him and he looked at me right in the eyes saying, "You're the only one I trust!"
