Love Me...Once Again

Chapter 17

Amisha stood in a corner watching Riya and Nirali interact like sisters. She was happy to see Nirali a little relaxed and smiling, but her heart twinge with jealousy. Nirali had friends other than her but for Amisha, no one came as close as Nirali. She wanted her friend to be happy but also wanted to be a part of it.

''Amisha! Where are you going? We are sleeping in the hall'' Riya called out before she cloud step away. Amisha grinned wide and Riya saw the child in her which got deprived of small things.

''I'll just make arrangement.'' Riya nodded with a smile

Riya spoke once Amisha stepped away. ''Nirali, you have always had a privileged life. People around you loved you. You have friends who care and a man who waited for you. AND you call yourself unlucky''

''You don't understand my pain.''

''Really?'' Riya asked with a raised brow and Nirali knew that Riya's pain was deeper and  had a lot of scars.

''Sorry, I didn't mean that''

''WHat is that you are so mad about?''

Nirali opened her mouth but nothing came. Riya smiled. ''You don't even know what you are mad about. Why you pushed him and still want to push him.''

''You just counted his mistakes to him''

''And I will count yours now.''  Riya waited for Amisha to join as it was high time someone held up a mirror to Nirali.

''Why are you guys crowding me?'' Lakshay asked irritated. Naman huffed, ''Just wanted to be sure that Riya's words got into your thick skull.''

''Nothing will change my mind.''

''So you don't want to be with her anymore? It won't bother you that she chooses someone else and decides to have kids.'' Varun shook his head face palming while Arun wanted to leave the room. Naman was just angering the bull.

''I. DON'T. CARE.'' Lakshay replied, his eyes blazing fire. But Naman stood  cool as ice. ''Fine! Arun once old me that he liked Nirali. Arun bro, you can go ahead and have kids with Nirali''

Arun just stood shocked while Varun was still trying to comprehend. He expected Naman to take a random name but he just sacrificed Arun. 

''Leave me alone Naman'' Lakshay whispered dangerously 

''Not till you cool down and appear normal. What if you hang yourself through the fan or jump over the balcony over your broken heart . We might not remain a band after your demise but why take the pain of all the investigation and being chased for your murder.''

Varun just held his head. Naman was in full form. Lakshay became madder at every moving end.

''I know what you are trying to do, but I am harder than that. I won't lose over your stupid words.''

Naman took a step and stood right opposite to his friend. ''My stupid words are making you mad. But if this becomes a future, you will be nothing better than a walking corpse, just like Varun. He made a mistake breaking one heart that loved him dearly and he is still dies every day repenting and wishing that he could do something to undo the past. And here you are, ready to leave about something which you won't even remember in few days.''

Naman took a deep breath. ''Do you know what is the problem with all 3 of you? You had all he love but you wanted to twist things. And here I am, who just wanted acceptance; from the ones I loved.'' Naman tried controlling his rapidly beating heart, just then Varun came to his feet. ''Calm down!'' Naman nodded. His friends were aware about his heart condition and made sure it never escalated. Naman lowered his himself on he couch, ''Lakshay, don't waste this night in thinking how she broke your heart or on her faults. Just think of the moments that made you love her for so long. Don't give up on your love.''
