Tears gathered at the corner of my eye and I felt a huge lump forming in my throat, unbearable for my liking. I blinked rapidly and detached myself from Avinash. Taking a few steps back I waited for him to acknowledge me, or at least stop me but he didn't. He stared at Vidhi, his love with a longing, as if seeing her after so long. Weren't they in contact with each other before? It broke my heart to witness the two lovers reuniting after a long. Not able to bear any more of it, I left the place in search of Sumedha.
I found her near the bar counter talking with a few of her friends. As soon as I came into her sight, her eyebrows scrunched in a frown.
"What happened Simran?", she questioned too I just shook my head, not able to form a sentence. "You were with Avinash a few-", she started but stopped when she followed my line of sight and saw Avinash and Vidhi standing close
"Shit, shit I'm sorry Simmy, I wouldn't have forced you to come if I had the slightest idea of her presence here", Sumedha spoke stepping towards me. "Obviously she would be here, with the love of her life", I chuckled and lifted my wet lashes towards Sumedha. She was quick enough to gather my dishevelled state in her embrace and comfort me.
"It's okay yaar, everything will be alright", she cooed in my ears as I did my best to keep my tears at bay, but they flowed helplessly. I felt so feeble and it wrenched me to see them together. Was it too much to ask for? Didn't I deserve love too?
Sumedha walked us to a scheduled corner away from everyone's sight to avoid others seeing me grieving at my broken heart again.
"Why Sumedha why? Why is it always me? Can't he love me as he loves her? Can't he look at me more than friends? Am I so hard to love?", I broke down completely as tears continuously cascade down my eyes.
I felt broken, I felt impotent to control my emotions. I let my resolve break as Sumedha muttered comforting things in my ears, her arms wrapped tightly around me.
At first, he was so far away, so unreachable but suddenly so close. I nearly got what I wanted for ages. Now he's again more far away than ever and there's no way to get him back. On the day I came and when bumped into him, I thought there was a chance for us to be something, I thought this time I would confess my feelings honestly but no nothing goes as planned. Because now when I finally had him, she had to come back and ruin everything.
"I knew I sounded selfish, but I too deserved love, to love, to be loved.", I chuckled at my stupidity of thoughts. "Who was I kidding, destiny never wanted us to end together, I was just too blind to accept the truth."
"Don't waste your tears for someone as petty as him Simmy, just let go this time, don't bottle up your emotions. You need a closer darling, just let it out everything", Sumedha said as she cupped my tear-stricken face in her palm and my lower lip quicker as I burst out in fresh tears once again.
