Light of my moon(Akk X Ayan)| The Eclipse

Part 14

Akk POV

"Love is underrated", they say. What is love? The fact that, I cannot stop thinking about him or that every time I close my eyes, I see his face pop up from nowhere or I smile more than often.

Which one of these can I put in the category of love or all? The sunset kiss was one of the best things I ever had. Something deep, I want to be touched by him, or at least a hug is enough. I don't know if I am the one who is yearning a lot or does he too want the same.

I could not able to sleep, I tilted and turned, but useless, my active brain needed a rest from thinking about him.

I took my phone to distract myself when I found a message from him.

"Slept?", a test message popped.

"Not yet."

"Great! I dare you to see out of your balcony"

Oh no. I don't want what I think to be true. Is he here? No, please don't.

"Are yiu here?", I texted him and even made a typo while typing in haste.

"Just come out and see", he texted back.

I cannot control myself and I dialed him.

Through the balcony, I saw down, there were none. So he is not here? I am unable to say what feeling I currently have, Am I happy that he is not here or sad that he is not here?

"Hello!", I spoke huskily.

"Hey"

"I cannot find you anywhere", I said in disappointment.

"I didn't say I came, I only wanted you to come out."

"So, what is it?"

"Just look at the moon.", he said. His voice is filled with much romance.

Wow, really the moon was so beautiful. I blushed. Maybe this is the first time I am blushing over an innate, non-living object live moon! So pathetic of me.

"Wow!", I gasped.

"It is beautiful isn't it?", he wanted me to answer.

"It is truly amazing man!", I gasped in pleasure. He is trying a lot to impress me. Strange. Nothing can be as special as your first love, I guess.

"So, why all of a sudden?", I asked him without being able to control my curiosity.

"Hmm....I thought about our kiss in the evening under the sky and I got the urge to look at the sky again and I found this beautiful moon!"

So, he has thought about our kiss, the same as me. "We have class tomorrow, better we are sleeping", I reminded him of our schedule.

"hmm...But I want to hear my boyfriend's voice some more time...."

"You are very clingy....you know that right?"

"Aww", he made a pouting sound.

"Akk...is that you?", Wat who woke up from sleep asked him. I panicked and cut the call immediately.

"Oh....yes, it is me.", I replied to him immediately.

"What are you doing late this night?"

"I cannot sleep"

"Are you thinking about Xiao's thing that happened today?", he was way more concerned.

"No..it is not that", Actually on returning from school, I informed people about what happened today on the terrace of the school, how Xiao's gang has beaten up the two schoolmates ruthlessly.

"If it is about Xiao, we can report it to the Principal, you know that right."

Have I mentioned before, even though Xiao was angry with me that I stole his School president title, he was my best friend till 7 th grade. And fate played on us, and we had to choose our paths differently.

"Thanks, buddy", saying so, I left for my bed.

"Hello! You cut the call! Everything all right?", Aye has texted me. After Xiao's name has been mentioned, I am totally moody. I have no interest to text Aye any further.

"Hey, I am so sleepy. Bye", I texted back and forced myself to sleep.

The next day..................

As usual, I was on duty. I saw Aye on one side and Xiao on the other side entering school. I cannot let Aye play with me like that before Xiao.

"Hey...cutie", Ayan greeted me like all other days with his bright smile and touched my hands.

"Tuck your shirt properly.", I instructed him in my authoritative voice and pulled off my hands away from him, so no one could see us.

"Oh, go easy man", he said and there was a clear disappointment in his voice. Why was I so rude and mean? After all, why couldn't I be normal before Xiao?

He headed straight to the washroom. I followed him. Because I felt so guilty. The last thing that I saw on his face was his eyes were so damp.

He locked the bathroom door and never gave a damn about me calling him. "Ayan, I am sorry", I shouted from outside.

"Ayan, please. I don't want to ruin my reputation in school, by doing some cheap....", I regretted using the word cheap.

"Sorry, I am not okay with people seeing us together and not after what Xioa's gang do to the gay couples...."

"Please, listen Aye. I am sorry."

All I could hear was a Whimpering sound from inside. "Aye come out, please. I beg you."

"I am sorry."

He finally came out, because it was time for our class. "If you are ashamed to love me, you better not love", he pushes away the hand of mine which tried to console him.

With a disheartened feeling, he and I both left for our class.

When we both sat at our bench, Khan who was a great observant, asked us, "Did you guys fight again?"

I didn't reply to him and neither did Aye. Students take chapter 5 and start reading one paragraph each. And the English class continued.

"Aye, I am sorry", I tried to talk to him during class.

He never gave a shit. I asked Thua to call Ayan to sit with us for lunch. Maybe in this way, he would gel with me again.

"Ayan you should probably sit with us for lunch, what do you say", Thua asked him as I said to him.

"It's all right Thua.", Aye politely rejected the offer.

"Hey, you should sit with us", Wat too asked him.

"Akk, you should call your bench mate to join us.", Wat suggested.

"Ayan, as they say, you should join us for lunch.", I called him. I don't know what other ways I can make him normal.

"Thanks, guys, but today, I cannot. I am leaving home, I am not feeling good.", he said.

"What happened to you?", I asked him concerned.

"What is your concern?", saying so, he left the class. How could he be so sensible? What I did was just pushed his hands, I even asked him sorry.

He left the school for a half day. I really miss him. Even if we both don't talk in school much, I was happy to see his face at least. Today, I am not even that lucky enough.
