You Belong With Me

27. AVYUKTA

Her lachrymation was unstoppable and I hated that. I hated each and every bit of her past and that she had to endure it all because of her shitty father.

"I cannot change your past, Radhika. But I promise you to never ever make you feel like that in future. I intend to give you the happiness and love you deserve to receive, honey." I told her cupping her cheeks.

"I...it's late, I should go now." She was about to leave as if she got an idea of what was coming next, but today, i won't let her go not before listening to me.

"Radhika, listen to me." She shook her head as in she didn't want to listen to me. But I gripped her wrist and thank fuck she didn't fight.

" You came into my life at the most unexpected time just like a ray of sunshine and from the moment I saw you I felt something, I didn't know what it was until we came back from that outing at Amer fort and Mata ji temple and there were only flashes of you and your smile in front of my eyes. "

" Gradually you became the part of my life you became the part of me, hon'. I...those days when you were avoiding me, do you know what was happening with me?? My heart was burning, I couldn't afford to stay away from you and that you were ignoring me like my existence meant nothing."

"But I knew you were pretending because that day when you confessed to me before kissing me, you proved that what I feel isn't one sided. The only thing is that you are not admitting that you feel for me too."

"And Radhika, I am giving you my word, I'll never let that happen to you again, you...." I paused and gathered whatever I had in me because now was the time, I was going to confess it to her.

"You are well tangled in my soul, Miss Vyas and it'd be a sin to unlove my soul. Yes Radhika, I love you, I love you with everything that I have and that I'm willing to give you. I can't bear to stay away from you now. You have taken everything from me, whether it's my love, or its my ability to think or work, whether it's my peace or my sanity and the only way to have it all back is to have you. We belong to each other hon'. "

" I...I am- I can't, I have to go." She was crying stuttering everything was happening simultaneously.

She tried to free herself from my grip and I let her, only to loop her own hand around her collarbone along with my hand gripping hers from top of it and interwining our fingers together to tuck her to me. If that's what I'd have to do to keep her listening to me so let it be.

" Don't do that to me, don't do that to us. Your god knows I love you enough for both of us, just accept your feelings and I'll give you the world, Radhika." I whispered near the shell of her ear and saw a bead of tear escape her beautiful beautiful eyes.

I hated myself for making her cry but it was important for her to listen to me, to know what I felt.

"Just let me go."

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Because, you belong with me, and no one can change that." Some minutes passed and she didn't say anything.

I released her from my grip and she left without saying anything and just like that I watched my world walking away from me.

It's been a week, she's avoiding me again. It hurts so much whenever she pretends like I'm non-existent.

From a week my routine is just like what it used to be before her.

I come to college to play football and sit in the library and then I go home.

I don't know how to talk to her I don't know what to do anymore because whenever I approach her she walks past me or ignores me.

The other day when she did that, I saw Sreshtha saying something to her about me. I just knew because the change in her expressions was screaming that her friend was talking about me, or we can say us.

I guess I'll have to come up with a solid idea to talk to her.

Rahul's pov

I don't know what shit has been going on between Radhika and Avyukta from last week amd I'm done with it.

While mine and jiya's relationship is hard and fast theirs is soft and delicate. Oh wait they're not even in relationship but I know that they love each other.

Guess what I'll have to play cupid now.

After discussing the matter with my cheeseball, oops did I call Jiya that aloud, we decided to plan a date for them at my place tonight and and and the best part is that we'll lock them there at terrace until they sort it all out.

I didn't call Radhika because she visits my place almost every Sunday which is today by the way. I asked Avyukta to come at my place to meet me.

Jiya on the other hand helped me through it and oh my my I loved it so much that she was by my side when I told her I'll be playing cupid for her and my best friends.

Jiya settled the food and drinks on the table and decorated it nicely.

I greeted Avyukta as he came into my room and asked him to come with me at the terrace.

"Why are you taking me there Rahul? Just let me know why you wanted to meet and get over it. I'm not in the mood for chilling, etc. " he told me and as I stared at his face I realised he was having dark circles like he didn't sleep from past some days. His eyes were also telling the different story.

At that time I was just praying that my best friend get whatever he wants with tons of happiness because this guy deserves the world.

I practically shoved him on terrace and locked the door.

"What the fuck, Rahul?"

"It's for your own good babe."

"I'm not your babe, open the door."

"No no no."

"Why what the hell is going on? You called to lock me up here?"

" You can say that, but you'll thank me later for this, Aviii." I teased him and just then jiya appeared with Radhika on her side.

"Hii, choti, how are you?" I asked.

"I'm good what about you?" She asked but there was something wrong with her too because her tone is always filled with excitement but today there was no ounce of it.

"I'm amazingly perfect." I signalled Jiya to do the same with her as I did to Avyukta.

As she locked the door from our side, Radhika's voice turned into an angry tone and she started yelling at Jiya to unlock the door. But stopped after some seconds, I guess she realised that she wasn't alone.
