Enigma

Patchup

"Amy stop...please don't.... I'll apologize" Avika said giving up lastly. Being the reason for shame to her father was the last thing she wanted. She thought of apologizing not because she was guilty but only to escape from shame.
Amy, abika and Agastya headed towards the canteen where Teju and all were.
On the other hand, Teju sat with Sam. She was absolutely not in the mood as Karan was ignoring her since the morning. Sam was constantly making her understand that there might be some reason behind it but Teju was not ready to accept. Somewhere she felt... Karan might not be willing to be seen with her but at the same time she had so much trust in him that he wouldn't break her heart like this and leaving her alone would be the last thing to do. However, Teju's mood was not that great. But then Karan walked in. And seeing him there, her mood lightened. She had the hope that he would speak to her. She saw him coming closer.....and she just stood up at her place. But before he could say anything.... Avika came in along with Amy and Agastya.

Karan, was already feeling guilty that he had to put up the act of ignoring Teju to lure Avika into accepting what she did. He was successful too but at the cost of Teju's happiness. He wanted it to end soon and so he was in so much hurry to talk to teju. He saw her sitting in the canteen on the verge of crying. He could see the pain in her eyes . The confusion she had in her mind regarding him. He was somewhere happy to know that Teju feels so deeply for him but also angry at himself for letting her go through this. He went ahead, not being able to stop himself further but before he could speak he heard someone interrupting. He turned back to find Avika standing there. He understood, his plan worked. So he stepped aside.
"Tejasswi, I am sorry"
"What? Why are you being sorry?"
"It was me"
"Huh....what are you.... (At first she was confused about what Avika was saying..but then it hit her that she was the one who unzipped her dress and also spread that video.....she could now connect the dots. She did this to embarass Karan...so that he loses his interest in her and ultimately with this move she would get Karan back. Oh god...this was her plan...and she was even successful in it. She successfully, removed her from the picture...as Karan was already ignoring her. She couldn't process what just happened. Her wildest thoughts were coming true. )"
"Look, I agree I did something very wrong but I did that only to get Karan back in my life. But I apologise to you in front of everyone. Please forgive me Tejasswi🙏"
" I feel sorry for you Avika. In your hatred against me, you have lost all the senses in you. Being a girl, you felt harming my self respect would get you a guy back. Maybe it worked for you...so congratulations for that. You successfully ruined something beautiful. Please just go from here...I don't want to speak to you anymore. "
Avika turned and left from there in anger. But Tejasswi had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that Karan wanted to stay away from her.
Karan could see her crying now, and he ran towards her...
"Teju, why are you crying..she apologized na "
"Just stay away from me. You wanted to ignore me coz you feel embarassed right...then what are you doing here. I am fine...I don't want you Karan"
"Baby what are you saying? Ofcourse I'll be with you...are you stupid? Just stop crying right now... I can't see you crying like this. It hurts me."
"It hurts you...it hurts you? And what are you doing Karan...you want to go back to Avika that's why you were ignoring me right. I never thought you would do this to me. "
"Shut up Teju....I don't want to go back to her or anybody... I just want to keep coming back to you. Its only you. It will always be you. Do you understand?"
Tejasswi looked up in his eyes. She could see tears in her eyes as well. She couldn't understand what was going on. Seeing her confused face karan spoke again
"It was all my plan. To ignore you to be close to her only to make her accept what she did and collect proof against her. I knew it was her who did that to you when I saw the video closely. I just needed to be 100% sure and hence all this. I know it was a stupid plan but she fell for it.....
Before he could complete his sentence Teju interrupted,
"So that means you are not going away? You are not breaking up with me?"
"Whatt....no...I would never  ......
Tejasswi took a deep breath and hugged him tighlty. It didn't matter to her how many people were around her or how many people would bitch...she just wanted to hug him and she did. Without any hesitation or any fear. Karan was taken aback for a moment but he hugged her back.
"I am sorry Karan... mujhe laga tum bhi mujhe chor ke chake jaoge .... I was so stupid...I am so sorry...😭"
"I am sorry Teju...I know my actions hurt you. But I had to do this. I had no other choice. Mai tumhara dil kabhi nahi todunga. I swear. "
"Mai bhi nahi..."

They took a moment, spoke it out and sorted all the misunderstandings. This is how problems are resolved maturely. After that, they decided to go back home. Karan asked her to come to his house and have lunch there. He even called his mom and his mom personally invited her to come. She couldn't refuse and hence agreed to go with him for lunch.
