Amore Mio:My Beloved

Chapter10: Vikram's Tournament

Author’s POV:

“No..means no and that’s final mom..
Don’t force me anymore..."
Stated Vikram in a firm voice,making his mom agitated.

“Why are you so stubborn and complicating things Vikram?Won’t you at least listen to dad...?”,said Vikram’s dad in a rough voice.

He flinched hearing their talks which almost taking him to the verge of bursting out.

“Why do you so badly want me play football again? Did you people forget about how badly you all tried to stop me from playing despite my passion for the game.,huh?”

He almost vent out his frustration,still holding his anger back.

“As per you expected and to my bad luck,a girl gotten hit because of me and guess what, you people got a perfect chance to blame and accuse me of killing her.”

“Did you forget how easily you all teamed up together against me and dodged me whenever I tried to explain myself..,and you...”

Vikram was calming his raging breath or maybe he was trying to calm down,in the pretext of not to vent out his anger at them.

He turned to Varun who was seated beside in an adjacent sofa watching Vikram.

“And you even called me a murderer. Didn’t you..?” A sarcastic smirk appeared in the corner of Vikram’s lips,as he stared  at everyone with an unfathomable look and turned away with his clenched fists.

He doesn’t wanted to stay there anymore,otherwise he will surely gonna loose his temper.

“I am asking for your forgiveness on behalf of your bhaiyya,Vikram.Sorr-“

“Vadina,I think you people misunderstand me and my motives.I am not at all saying  this to seek any of your or their empty apologies or fake attention...”

He interrupted his sister in law,who tried make  her point obvious.

“You..You too wanted and waited for this for a long time na,bhaiyya?Please say yes na...” Priya who was witnessing all this from a distance walked to Vikram hesitantly and said holding his palm.

He didn’t shout at her and jerk her hand like she feared.Taking his silence as advantage she continued.As she could feel his anger subside a bit.

“You always say na,bhaiyya...the last thing you wanted was to upset mom and dad and go against their will.”

He shared her a look in an attempt to shut  her mouth.As he feels embarrassed to listen to his own words when his family around even though it was him who said those words to Priya.

“Vikram...Come over here.”Called his dad in a gentle yet firm voice.

Leaving a sigh through his nose he walked towards his dad after giving Priya a ‘I will take care of you later look’ and stood before him with a frown on his face,all the while staring at particularly nothing.The jaw was clenching every now and then.

A part of him was hell embarrassed to meet their eyes after the confession of that little devil,and a tiny part of him was eager to know what they were upto say.

Contemplating how to object the words,which Priya blabbered a while ago,he just stood there,waiting for his dad to talk.

Because he couldn’t gather proper words to object.He didn’t want his parents to think his real feelings towards them.

“That’s the reason I asked you,why are you complicating things?You should probably try to express your feelings and speak for your rights when we were at fault and things didn’t favour you,like you do outside the house.” Said his dad looking at his eyes in a calm voice.
