A Boy That Was Never Mine

Sleep Less Night

Aansh Pov:

As the angle was feeling low we decided to meet and have dinner together but I had to rush to the client's place as ordered by my boss. So I told her to reach the shop and meet up with Abhay and go with her and I would join them later.
As soon as I reached the shop I saw Reha crying sitting near her desk. I don't mind if there is any other person but for people who are close to me, I do care for them. So I went towards her and asked her what happened she immediately hugged me and started crying I consoled her and told her to relax and share what happened to her. She told me about her family problems at that time I didn't say something just hugged her and made her comfortable.
I knew she came from reach family and didn't need anything then she was working in a small shop to my surprise. I did try to ask her many times but she denied saying it. I never forced her to share. She is always bold and confident we never felt that she must be so sad. Seeing her like that hurt me so I just hugged her.

I told her that we were heading for dinner and she could join me without asking Angel and Abhay assuming they both would understand as I know my angel is pure by her heart and nothing can change in that, she will understand my feelings.

As we reached the restaurant I saw angels mood got off and it was evident that she didn't like Reha's presence but she didn't say a word after completing our meal we decided to sit near Abhay's house and have fun while I completed the formality with the new landlord and was going to share a piece of news with them about shifting next week.
As I came near them I saw they were playing and Reha dragged me to play with her because of that angle got upset and a fight occurred between us. I tried to calm her but she was not ready to talk to me even Abhay tried but she was crying and I couldn't see her like that so I followed her to her house checking she was fine. I tried to call her but it continued saying switch off.

I decided to talk to her once she was fine and talked to my parents informing them about my new place. After having a good conversation with them I was too tired to work so I just went to bed but sleep wasnoto near me so I was just laying on my bed and every word the angel told me was ringing in my head. I tried to sleep but sleep was not near me.
I couldn't contain my excitement when I finally secured a place to stay, especially because it was conveniently located near Abhay and Angel's house, making it easy for us to meet every day. I felt a huge sense of relief when she offered to help me get everything set up.

I had been making plans to start my own business when my boss unexpectedly called me to inquire about my plans. Initially, he was hesitant about me entering the same industry, but after our conversation, he agreed to support me as long as I didn't sell any products related to our current shop.

I often reflect on how fortunate I am to have such an amazing support system. Vianna, Abhay, her family, my boss, and Reha have become my extended family, and I am truly grateful for having them in my life.

As I diligently worked on planning within my budget, Reha reached out to me to discuss something, and our conversation deepened into a discussion about our challenges. Despite her occasional brusqueness, I feel a strong connection with her and believe she has a good heart. Interestingly, that day I felt particularly drawn to spending time with her. She even proposed becoming a partner in my business and offering financial support. Though I was thrilled by the offer, I wanted to consult with Abhay and Vianna first to ensure they wouldn't feel left out.

As the evening approached, Angel was feeling a bit down, so we had planned to meet for dinner. However, I had to abruptly leave for a client meeting as per my boss's order. I instructed Angel to go to the shop to meet our mutual friend, Abhay and assured her that I would join them later.

When I arrived at the shop, I was surprised to see Reha in tears, sitting beside her desk. Despite her initial reluctance to share, she confided in me about her family troubles, which left me deeply concerned. I comforted her and encouraged her to open up about her feelings.

I had always known Reha to be strong and confident, not someone who would easily show vulnerability. It pained me to see her in such distress, so I offered her my support and understanding. Knowing that she came from a well-off family, I was surprised to learn that she was working at a small shop. I had tried to inquire about it before, but she had evaded my questions. I never pushed her to disclose more than she was comfortable with.

Despite Angel's initial disapproval of Reha's presence at our dinner plans, I invited Reha to join us, trusting in Angel's pure-hearted nature to understand my intention.

Later, at the restaurant, it became evident that Angel was not pleased with Reha's presence, but she didn't voice her feelings. After dinner, we gathered near Abhay's house to spend some leisure time. Meanwhile, I also finalized the necessary arrangements for my upcoming relocation and planned to share the news with them.

During our time together, a disagreement arose between Angel and me, triggered by Reha's playful insistence that I join her in a game. Despite our attempts to calm her down, Angel remained upset and tearful. I couldn't bear to see her distressed, so I followed her home to ensure her well-being. However, she refused to engage with me and her phone remained unreachable.

Afterwards, seeking solace, I called my parents to share news of my upcoming move to a new residence. Engaging in a meaningful conversation with them provided a comforting end to the day.
However, as I tried to drift off to sleep later that night, the echoes of Angel's word

" You know what Aansh sometimes I  like I am nothing to you Because you are too confused in your life that you don't know what you want and I am tired of trying dumbo I am tired of us. I don't want to talk to you and if you wish to talk then this time please come up with an answer about us"  These words continuously resounded in my mind, making it difficult for me to find rest.

Next Day

The following day, the first thing I did was to attempt to contact my angel and ask for forgiveness. Unfortunately, the message was undelivered, and when I tried to call her, her phone appeared to be switched off. I felt a deep sense of hurt and disappointment.

As I was getting ready for work and preparing to leave, my father unexpectedly called me. At first, I was hesitant to answer, but I decided to take the call. He informed me about my grandfather's ailing health, which meant I had to leave for my family home immediately. I quickly booked a ticket and called my boss to explain the situation and the need for urgent leave.

I hastily packed my bags, informed Abhay about the situation, and hurried to the train station. Before leaving, I gathered roses of different colours and created a beautiful flower bouquet, which I left at Vianna's office. I also informed her friend about the gesture before making my way to the station.

Upon arriving home at midnight, I was relieved to see everyone present. My initial fear was calmed when my uncle assured me that everything had improved. He mentioned that my grandfather was eager to meet me and suggested that I freshen up before visiting him.

After a comforting dinner with my family, I finally made my way to my grandparents' room. I embraced them both and engaged in a heartfelt conversation with them. I came back to my room hoping that there would be a message from Vianna's side but there was none. So I decided to call her friend and ask her about the bouquet and she informed me thatViannaa didn't come to the office today and that she will be not coming for a few more days as she has applied for sick leave.

Hearing that I was tensed about what happened to her firstly I didn't believe that because I thought she was just ignoring me and she had done this but then Abhay called me to inform the same that she was not well and asked me about situation here and I informed him everything and how I have to stay few days with them and frankly speaking even I missed them all and in past few months my relationship with dad has also improved and I was glad about that.

After talking toAbhayy decided to consume this time and start working on my business and started working till sleep consumed me.
