Unrequited One

Chapter 5- ☆Injured☆

                            (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~

Third person's POV
   
     It's been two days, the hellish days where you suffered internally. After coming from vijay's home you cried and your parents worrying about you didn't help as you felt like a burden to them.

It was all messed up.

You were messed up.

   You didn't say anything but also didn't hide anything, you were.....just normal. If that's what you call it. You didn't sleep well and it was also affecting your eating habits. It had only been two days.

Two freaking days.

  And vijay had affected you this much. It made you think how would you manage if this keeps going on? Won't it change? Will these feelings disappear or...will it remain being a part of your life. You groaned and shook your head as you headed to your work.

Work, it was not good. You were always practicing alone even after your teaching classes had ended. Dancing until you felt exhausted, it was the only way to get some sleep as your body went to sleep more easily that way. Otherwise the sleep you would get would not even compare to a nap.

You were now currently dancing as all the students had finished the class. You stayed and started dancing not paying attention to your surroundings. You focused soley on your movements as the steps got heavier by the minute.

"Y/n!"

You paused and turned around hearing your name over the loud music. You glanced back and it was none other than your boss, keshav. He was quite friendly outside work and overly handsome, not as much as vijay but he was handsome. You stopped the music and walked towards him stopping ony at a suitable distance.

"Oh, Keshav sir" you greeted him as he nodded at you. "Did you need something?" You asked curiously at him.

"Well..something like that" he said and leaned back at the wall behind him. "I heard you're staying late to practice"

You looked down nodding as he brought his hand to rub his neck."yes sir" you agreed.

"As much as i like your dedication you should not worn out yourself" he said his voice was friendly but it also had a stern tone to it. "Go home, you're going to rest today at home okay?"

"But-" you spoke up but he gave you a 'who's the boss here' look so, you had to agree with him. "Okay sir, i will"

"Good" he said and walked out from there leaving you. You sighed and changed your dress in the dressing room. It seems you will not be practicing till late today.

The sun shone down brightly, almost too brightly. "Oh great! I gave my scooty to be repaired, now i have to go out in this heat" mumbling to yourself you opened your umbrella and walked out to the bus stop waiting for the bus, you would not be walking in his heat.

You were standing in the bus stop area as your phone buzzed disturbing the people nearby with your loud ringtone. You picked up the call without looking at the caller id and brought it upto your ear.

       "Hello" you spoke as the other side remained silent for quite a while. "if it's a prank then I'm ending the call" you threaten as you heard a shifting sound from the other side.

"Y/n" the person spoke up and you looked at the contact name, it was vijay.

Why was he calling you now? Wasn't he on duty today?.You stopped the train of thoughts as a sharp sensation filled your chest.

Pain.

You bit your lip, a bad habit of yours whenever you felt anxious or hurt. His voice, it was full of frustration and worry as you wondered for a moment 'was it for me?'. But of course you knew it would never happen as he was in love with mithira, a gorgeous and a kind woman.

"Aren't you on duty?" You asked breaking the uncomfortable silence over the phone.

"No" was all he replied. He wasn't normal, Vijay didn't reply with this kind of anxious voice. You were now sure that something had happened to him.

But what?.

"Where are you?" You asked without any delay as you quickly looked for an auto rickshaw. Getting inside you told the location to the driver and headed out.

You reached there. It was a restaurant but it's condition was bad.no, worse than anything. The glasses were boken as well as the tables and chairs. Police officers were handcuffing some dudes and loading them into the police van. You frowned at the scene as you spotted  sir rajendra in a distance.

"Rajendra sir!" You called out as you walked upto him but your eyes shifted to the man beside him, vijay. You were gonna call out to him but color left your face as you became pale.

"What happened?!" You shouted getting the attention of the surrounding officers as well as vijay. You walked upto him and inspected his arm. There was a long cut on it and worse it was bleeding heavily."how did this happen? And why is it not treated!!" You yelled.

"I asked him to treat it but he said it's fine and didn't let me"sir rajendra stated as you glared at Vijay. He shrugged playing with his sunglasses as he was sitting on his car's trunk.

"It's fine.." he said as you smacked him on the other arm. "Hey don't beat an injured guy"

You passed one last glare at him and turned to sir rajndra. "Please bring a first aid kit" you said and he nodded leaving from there. He brought a first aid kit box and you pulled vijay to a bench as you started cleaning his wounds.

"There really wasn't a need for this" he said trying sound normal but his voice cracked when you pressed on the wound a little.

"Sorry, sorry! I'll do it gently!" You said as your face was full of worry and concern. You went back to cleaning the wound, this time gently. There was a silence. You always scolded him even on tiny little things and now you weren't. He was reluctant to speak worried that he might turn on your wrong switch.

"What happened?" You asked as he went silent for a moment. You let out a breath giving up on knowing what happened, he didn't really need to tell you everything right?.

"I was meeting with mithira's family" he spoke up to your surprise. You hummed in reply as you continued your work, so he wants to marry her quickly. "Her father didn't like police officers so, i was trying to convince him"

"Her father was about to agree to the marriage" you pressed yor lips tightly as you managed another humm."But,some  gangsters came and ruined it" he said as his voice presented frustration. You completed the bandaging and closed the first aid kit box.

"It was finally gonna happen and now .. everything's a mess" he added his voice filled with anger, anger towards the gangsters and anger towards the situation he was in. You didn't know what to do but one thing was sure, you were gonna be with him.

"Vijay, i know you're angry right now but.." you looked at him and with a determined expression you spoke "this is not the vijay i know, the vijay i know is a very determined person...he won't stress over something like this"

You got up turning your gaze to him once again "he pursues what he wants wholeheartedly, be it the girl he loves or her family" you said and flashed a smile at him. For a moment he was mesmerized, he had you his Best friend supporting him.

"Yeah and i will!" he said as his normal confidence was back, he looked determined. You realized that you felt happy, to see him smiling brightly like a sun in your life.
