A Manjeri Love Story

Epi - 17

Ayshu’s POV

I didn’t know how to react to that, our eyes were drowned in each other, and he was still holding me tightly. I could hear my heartbeat, I was astonished due to this sudden confrontation. I was blank, my mind was not operating, and my whole body felt a shiver of emotions. Words are not enough to describe that moment.
Suddenly he let go of me, we were in that awkward position.

“Look Ayshu, you may think I just said that due to the heat of the moment, but it is not like that, I love you and I was fighting this fact, I can’t do it any longer please try to understand I want you, more than that I need you. You are the only person whom I could speak to after all these years and I need a partner like you, no no you are the one, please give me a chance”
I looked into his eyes, they felt genuine, suddenly we heard girls talking and Anugraha was coming.

“Don’t create a scene, we would discuss it later”

He got off and sat in the front seat. She came to us and looked angrily at me, but I ignored her. She got in the car and drove away.

Anugraha got off the bus and now remaining was me and Ayshu. He came and sat near me.

“I didn’t get the answers to my question”, he said without even looking at her.

“Anshu, what is your problem? I don’t know if there is any matter that we could discuss and solve. I want to say something clearly to you, if it is another way of your funny flirty prank, then I would like to say it is not funny at all”, he looked at me suddenly.

“Are you thinking that after I gained all this courage to confess what I felt for you is funny, if you think like that then let me tell you, whatever I told you, it is genuine. You should believe I never felt the same to any girl in my entire life but here you are accusing me of showing a prank by revealing my feelings for you. Are you serious?”, he looked as I hurt him through my words

“Even if you are serious and what you said is true, I want to reveal that I’m not ready for a relationship and I think it is better if you tell that three words for someone deserves to hear”

“Why are you acting like this? Maybe I don’t know you for so long but I’m pretty sure that Ayshu would never do something like this. You have a problem and you are not ready to reveal it, but let me remind you one thing as long as you kept that as a secret, it would be more complicated and you would never find peace in your life”

I don’t know what to say, I felt the same about all this but what could I do? I don’t have enough courage to take responsibility for my own life.

“Look Ayshu, I promise you, I would never going to judge you for your past, I also have a past that I don’t want to share with anyone until I met you…., but seems like fate has been playing some cruel tricks on me by making you go so far away from me, don’t do this, I want you, I need you”, he said with pure hope glistens in his eyes. We were so endorsed in each other eyes.

The sudden declaration of stop made us both jerk away and I clustered my thing and was about to leave.

“Look in life sometimes what we need is hope and I hope you would find someone who is deserving you as much as you love them”, with that one sentence I got off the bus.

Anshu’s POV

I don’t know why but I feel that there are some more unfolded parts in this story and I need to find out what is truly happening in her life.

When I reached home, I couldn’t focus on anything. Everything made me angry. Her love rejection surely made me a psycho but I think that there is something more that I need to find out about her.

Suddenly my mind have the image of Anugraha, I cursed myself for not thinking about it earlier, I know that she doesn’t like our bond, so I strongly have this feeling that she must have something to do with all of this.

I took my phone and messaged her “Hey I was sorry for acting like that, I know that I hurt your feelings but all I could now feel was that you may be right, I shouldn’t pre-judge you without giving you a chance to explain. I was blind all I could see was Ayshu, in that messy thing I never saw how much you valued me, so I think why couldn’t we catch up and clear all the misunderstanding between us”

As I expected I got the reply within a few minutes.

“I’m so glad that you finally realize who cares for you and I’m more than happy to talk with you about my feelings. You should schedule the place and time and we could meet there”

“How about tomorrow at KMR Bakery, Manjeri?”, I messaged her back

“I was hoping to meet a friend tomorrow. What about the day after tomorrow? Since all my exams are over, I could find so many days available myself for you and we could surely go for so many dates”

The mere mention of dates with her made me nauseous, I can’t make myself suffer all the burdens of knowing the truth, I hope I could find it soon and finish this melodrama.

“Ok sounds like a plan”, I texted her back.

So according to my guess, she would probably meet Ayshu tomorrow. So I need to follow her and find out what is truly happening.
