Love Game, Game Of Sacrifices

part-8

The next day in college,
Austin was feeling very low because of his father who he hated the most.
[Flashback]

Austin came for breakfast with a sleepy and straight face and a bag was hanging on his shoulder.
Austin's mom- good morning my child (happily)
Austin- good morning (coldly and sat on the chair of the dining table)
Austin's mom- oh? What happens to my sunshine? Why he's so low (Curiously)
Austin- does it even matter to u (whisper and gives an irritated look)
Austin's mom- say louder! What happened?!
Austin- Mom please stop acting like that like u care (shouted)
Austin's mom- but...I... (stunned)

Austin's dad- AUSTIN!! (He came from his room and stood near Austin) is this the way you talk to your mom!!??
Austin- (scoff ) like you don't...
Austin's dad- AUSTIN!! BEHAVE YOUR SELF!! she's your mother so u don't have the right to shout at her but I have, she's my wife (grabs Austin's chin to make Austin face him) understand?!

Austin removes his hand from his chin and makes his way to exit.

Austin's mom- y-you shouldn't s-shout at him (softly and scaredly)
Austin's dad- you don't tell me what to do!! and I'm supporting you and u are lecturing me huh?! GO and give me my breakfast (angrily)
Austin's mom- I..... okay (lower her head)

Austin saw all this from outside and burning in anger.
[Flashback ends]

Austin- (sigh) I don't know what I did wrong in my past life to get these parents...
Suddenly someone shouted Austin's name from behind. When he turned he got attacked by a warm hug which made him calm but shocked. And that person is no other than Sasha.
Sasha- Austin, my bunny, I missed you so so so much...!!!!
Austin- Sasha....?

Sasha breaks the hug.
Sasha- yaa it's me why any problem?! (Curious)
Austin- ah... I mean... I.... (looking down here and there)
Sasha- I understand, no need it explain, now let's go!!!!  ( Put her hand on his shoulder which makes him bend and they start running towards class)

After completing their morning classes, the students gather in the canteen for their lunch break.

Sasha, Austin, Sammy and Archie are sitting in the dining area and eating lunch.
Sasha- w-why so silent guys? ( smiled awkwardly)
Archie- I was thinking the same (smiles awkwardly too)
Sammy- if there is anything to talk then say (While eating)

Sasha sighed and turned her right facing Austin who was silently eating.
Sasha- umm... Austin! Tell something just like u did before like in your painting class if any chaos happens or something. (nervously)
Austin- nothing happened...
Sasha- oh? .... really? Okay ...

Sasha was trying her best to talk with Austin but all that was happening was getting worse. She started losing patience.
After college, Sasha took Austin with her and went to a nearby park where Austin sometimes visits.

Austin- why u bring me here?
Sasha- can u pls stop with this behaviour? (Irritatingly)
Austin- what.... behaviour? (Softly, trying to avoid questions)
Sasha- Austin!!... (teary eyes) ... (sobs) Please don't ignore me, by this behaviour, you are just hurting me. I know I hurt you but I did apologise to you, can't you forgive me... huh?!

Austin stayed silent while looking down,
Sasha- Austin!!!!! Say something!!! Please ( crying) ... I'm sorry...
Austin- u-you are crying? (wide-eyed) Sasha!... I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you... (wiping her tears with his hands)
Sasha- then why aren't you talking to me?? (Holding his hands to stop wiping her tears)
Austin- because I couldn't face you for what I did...
Sasha- ah?...( frown)
Austin- not even Mia...
Sasha- what you were thinking that I feel disappointed in you or disgusted by you huh??  ( scold)
Austin- i-- ( Sasha glares) I-- I don't know (guilty)
Sasha- my bunny!! I always see you as my best friend and I'll be a little disappointed but it's not like I'll break the friendship (sweetly)
Austin- really?
Sasha- yeah!! Let's forget all this and let's restart our new journey huh?
Austin- hmm (nods)
Sasha- now hug (smiles) (open arms)
Austin- no...
Sasha- (frown) Huh? Why?
Austin- you have a boyfriend, what will he think if I hug u... no no I'll not
Sasha- (sigh) u know what he gave me the idea to friendship with you again and gave me tricks to apply to you but it all failed then he told me to talk to you personally... so he already knows... and about hugs, he won't mind (mentally cursing mia)
Austin- oh,... it that so ( smiles)
Sasha- oh my bunny smiled!!!!
Austin- oh no no no I was just shocked, how can he be that caring person (awkwardly)... nothing else
Sasha- (chuckled) ok fine now hug me(open arms and hug Austin)
Austin also Hugs Sasha while forgetting everything that happened in past.

But far they know that someone is looking at them with teary eyes and broken heart...
