Fated strings of love

Ch-20 | HEARTLESS

Tara

As sidharth left,
I was with aditya, i can't even look at him, he looks pretty annoyed.

I told aditya to relax but he was so annoyed at sid that he asked " why
are you friends with him?? "

" aditya I have known him since I was 4, he is my dad's friend's son, he is just a friend nothing more, nothing less " I said to aditya

" then don't be his friend " aditya yelled.

" but aditya...." As I was talking with aditya, he scoffed and interrupted me
and said, " I am not an idiot tara "

" what?? " I asked, what is he saying??

" he is your childhood crush, isn't it???" He raised his eyebrows and he looked at me with such hostility and said
" isn't it tara??? "

I am scared, I am scared of this look in his eyes, I am scared to answer him

" why are you so silent?? You can't answer me because I am correct, you still like him, you still have feelings for your first love?? "

I shook my head as no , I wanted to say no but I couldn't say a word in front of him, I am afraid of losing him, I am scared that he will be misunderstanding me,

I am hurt that he is doubting my love
for him, he didn't trust me even a little bit

" aditya trust me , it's nothing like that " i said but he interrupted me and said

" I don't wanna talk right now, I need time" he stood up and left,

what the hell have I done wrong, did he misunderstand something.

Everyone was staring at me and just like my trust my heart was broken, I tried to hold my tears as I didn't want to cry in front of these people

I ran towards my hostel room and saw ananya and sia there , as they saw me they asked me " what happened ? " but I didn't answer them and went to the balcony and sat there on the floor and cried but didn't let my voice come out, I tried to call aditya and text him but he wasn't answering,

Ananya and sia were so worried about me so I told them, I had a fight with aditya and nothing much so they also didn't ask me too much.

The next day, the Day after that , again and again I tried to have a conversation with Aditya but every time, he was busy or he was ignoring me, but I didn't get the chance to talk with him,

Sid was normal so I told him that I really like aditya and he was also serious about me but sid tried to say the same thing like others that Aditya doesn't take relationships seriously and all that.

Two weeks passed just like this,
After the class was over, I wanted to talk to aditya but he left before I could even call his name

I again missed him, I sighed I was about to leave the class but sidharth came to me and said , " tara, can you please give this to aditya" he gave me the watch I gifted aditya on his birthday,

but why is it with sidharth??? So I asked him " why do you have this watch?? This is Aditya's watch that I gifted him, why is this with you sid ?"

" I didn't know you gifted him this watch, I think that's why he reacted that way " he said, he was leaving but i stopped him.

" what??? " I asked him,
what the hell is he saying I can't
understand

" ohh, actually a few days ago, I took this watch without telling him from his room and this watch's glass got cracked by mistake, and when we were having family dinner, he saw the watch was
missing from his room so he asked his mom about it and he saw I was wearing this so he got so angry that he became violent and punched me, he was so angry on our family dinner that everyone saw his behaviour and his mom slapped him and his dad was also disappointed with him so he left the dinner with such rage, I didn't understand that time, why he was acting like an angry man but I think I know now, well I repaired this watch I wanted to return it but I think now, I should sincerely apologise to him and give him back his watch that he preciously treasures. " he said
