Amore Mio:My Beloved

Chapter6:Open Talk

“Your sh..shirt...?”Asked Vridhi after a long pause of silence.I tried hard not to smile at her efforts to change the topic.
I know she was stunned when I repeated her words.

“Your blood..”I said with a small smile.
Hearing me she looked away as if trying to hide her tears.

“Please don’t cry..It’s alright.”

“How can you say it’s alright?If we squeeze your shirt we can collect at least one litre of akka’s blood.Poor she.”
Remarked Priya in an attempt to make her smile and she smiled wiping her tears with her left hand.

Little did she know all the while Priya and I were on the video call.Priya said she’d make a video call and go inside after making sure none suspect her plan.

I too nodded without saying anything.Yet something inside me stopped me from go with her plan,thinking how will Vridhi react if she accidentally spot Priya’s mobile.Even there is no wonder if my sister blurt out everything to her.

What she will think of me.

Thankfully none seems to notice it till we hang up.

All the while I was listening to their talks which brought a smile on my face.

I occupied a seat near a reserved area away from everyone.Then only I could hear Vridhi’s feeble gentle voice.Or to be precise I could clearly see how Vridhi was doing.

I remember the awkward shy smile of Vridhi when Priya complimented her.

This is the first time I have ever watching the smiling face of Vridhi.Despite the stinking pain in her body she tries hard to make others smile with her smile,thinking they will be worried for her.

The little brat sister of mine already forgot that I was on the video call and started talking nonstop.

‘Sure..He won’t repeat the same but will try something new.’

Poor Vridhi.She know that I was listening to her.

She is such a poor soul.Never even try to say something to make me feel offended or guilty,when she is the one suffering because of me.Unlike everyone in my family except Priya.As if she understood the inner turmoil I was going through.

Preethi akka said it will take almost week for Vridhi to heal completely.Now I feel terribly guilty as I completely spoilt the very first day of her college life.

This one thing is enough for my mom and dad to give good medicines to me till she fully cures.

I heard she is a right handed student.It will be very hard for her to manage till she recovers completely.

I pray all the gods to heal her wounds as soon as possible without any scars left.Otherwise it would be me who is going to suffer every single moment,whenever I get to see the scars in her,like a reminder.

I swear, in the remaining one year of my college period, I will never cross her path even unknowingly.One way or the other I have hurt her enough in a single day.

“Hmm..”I heard someone clearing throat.Wondering whom might be it,when everyone was taking rest in the VIP guest room ;I turned around to see a furious Ajay,shooting me glares.

He gave me a sarcastic smirk.I got it.

“You didn’t even bothered to let me know right?” He remarked angrily.

“May I go and see the girl?Is she in?”I hummed as a response but he pulled me along with himself.I know he is definitely up to something.

I genuinely want to apologise to her lonely.But it seems impossible,which keeps on irking me.I just want to have a free talk with her as a matter of fact.
