MAITHILI'S POV

We need to talk……

How easy was it for  him to start the conversation or to show his right over me, right that I didn't even know existed.

He gripped the steering wheel, accelerating, and the car drove off……

I already revised the conversation nth time in my mind when he’ll ask me the reasons and i need to give him an answer, but it wasn't easy.

My gaze was fixated out of the window, trying my best to ignore the silence spreading inside, my heart yearning for his hug, hug that made me fall for him.

Red and pink hues in the sky resemble a canvas painted in colors of love, love that i have for him, love that's been there for the past six years. I fell for him when I didn't even know what love meant. He made me fall for him, for his eyes the way it looked at me, his lips the way they curl up calling my name, his hands that held mine sending a sense of security to my heart, his smile that shined up my day.

And he still doesn't know anything………

I failed to make him fall for me the way I'm madly, immensely, intensely in love with him………..

“Kaisi ho?” he asked, tapping his fingers on steering wheel
(How are you)

“Theek hu” i replied without breaking my trance
(I'm fine)

I know if I turned my gaze to him, my guards would drop down, I would turn into misery, and this time, it won't be easy.

I won't have a chance to run away.

My gaze still fixated out of the window, the mid-morning sun bathed everything in a soft, golden light, along with red paint spread all over, giving a hint of rainbow hidden beneath the clouds. Trees and houses blurred past, creating a tranquil, almost a dream-like landscape. The peaceful scene outside and the silence inside was just intensifying the ache within me.

My mind drifted back to that day, that changed everything between him and me, the day my heart had quietly shattered. The sharp sting of realization, the way my heart ached, my eyes pricked with unshed tears.

“Heheeheeehhhheeeee, finally my call letter is here” shrieking with happiness i ran out of my room, overwhelmed with the joy of my result, my heart fluttered in ecstacy. Digging out my phone from my pocket I dialed to my partner in crime, my ummmm…..  best friend Atharva.

“Complete your dare” person from the other side of the phone blabbered.

“No, are you fucking kidding me” I whispered in a harsh tone

“ I'm hell serious” again the same voice spoke in a flat tone

“ come on BB, don't you remember what did you say to me when i tried to flirt with you” he questioned

“ I do, but…”

“No but-wut” cutting me off in middle, he categorically shut me up

“Love?” a soft voice broke my trance, pulling me from a melancholy reminiscing

The memory washed over me, as clear as it happened yesterday. It's been 6 years, and not a single moment passed by when my heart did not recalled his name and ripped apart

“Hm?” I hummed in response, blinking, trying to push the memory away

“Why did you leave?” shifting his gaze, he asked, his voice low and steady, devoid of usual playful rhythm. His eyes were intense, locked into mine with an unwavering gaze, sending the chills down my spine.

SHASHVATA'S POV

I looked at her, my heart heavy with questions that had haunted me for the past six years

“Why did you leave?” I questioned, my voice steady but laden with the weight of old wounds. I tried to keep my emotions in check, but the pain and confusion seeped through. “For six years, I've been waiting for the answers to my questions. I need to know what happened? Did i do something wrong? Was it something I said or did?

I've been waiting for the past 6 years, no let me say accurately, past 6 years 4 months 3 days, 2 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds.

Everyday i would wake up with an underlying hope, hope she’ll call me, hope she’ll at least text me, and with garnering of my heart’s scattered pieces, i would fall into a deep slumber, with a hope of fresh dawn

“I had to make arrangements for my accommodation before my classes started.” she hushed, in a soft smooth tone

“Arrangements?” I rephrased the word putting more pressure

In the midst of her response, my mind became a whirlwind of confusion. Her words didn't quite hit the mark I was hoping for, leaving me even more puzzled than before. I wanted clarity, but all I got was more uncertainty.

Underneath it all, my feelings for her were still there, strong but unspoken. How could I tell her I loved her when I couldn't even figure out what went wrong? Her answer, while nice, didn't really satisfy me.

“And if you had just waited for 5 more minutes for me to arrive, wouldn't you have been able to make your own living arrangements?” my brow furrowed in confusion as I tried to make sense of her response.

On my pointed question, she turned her gaze from the window towards me. Her eyes were unraveling the pearls of unresolved words.

The words stuck on her lips were drawing me towards her.

“Jana jaruri tha” Averting her peer, she said with trembling lips
(It was necessary to leave)

Don't know why, her eyes were crying out for some unspoken secret and the words on her lips were claiming to be contrary to the stories hidden in her eyes.

Her words pierced my heart like an arrow and shattered into pieces.

Tightening my grip on the steering wheel, I frantically accelerated the car. My chest was bursting with pieces of my heart. My knuckles turned pale.

She was never like this, certainly not with me. Her harsh and cold demeanor, attitude was eating me from within.

She has penetrated under my skin, her existence, her smile, her laughter, the sparkle in her eyes, the crimson red flush on her cheeks, everything affects me. And I love the impact she has on me, which in my 29 years of life nobody could ever had

Does she have feeling for someone else?
