MY AVERAGE LIFE

Part 24

Shivani Pov:

I was in my room crying and couldn't stop my tears when I heard a knock on the door. I composed myself and opened the door to see Sharath sir. As soon as he saw me, he asked what happened and whether someone had said something to me and I felt warm hearing him. I just shook my head, but I knew he didn't believe me. I cleared my throat to sound less sore and asked why he was there.

 He said it was not important, and held my hand, and took me to the room. I didn't say anything because I was worried my voice would betray me and my emotions would come out. He made me sit down and boiled water for me, all the while I was just observing him. I don't know why or what he was doing, but him being there, asking about me, and doing things for me brought some kind of comfort. He gave me the water, told me to drink, and sat beside me, facing me. He asked what happened.

 I didn't know how to say what happened, so I just said I fought with Swathi. He casually commented on it, teasing me if I was there to console Swathi or fight her. Then he asked if it was a big fight or a small fight. I said big. Then he took my hand and was taking me somewhere. I didn't fight him and let him take me. On the way, I saw Akhil in the lobby. I stopped walking. I really wanted to kill him. Like seriously, how could he cheat on Swathi? 

That's when Sharath sir came behind me and whispered, "I am happy to help you send him to the hospital." Trust me, he made me feel things with those words and I got goosebumps because my ears are sensitive. I just cleared my throat and stepped away from him and said, "We were going somewhere." "we can go after i send him to hospital" he said again lining to my ear "no need,"I said I started walking, and he led me to the parking.

 The whole car ride was silent. After a few minutes, we reached the beach. I got off and went to the shore, and sat there. I know he brought me here for relaxation, but my mind is full of thoughts. He came and sat beside me. I deeply breathed, closing my eyes " it's nice here" i said "good" he said he's back to giving one-word answers again. It's like he's switching sides. One moment he'll be talking, and the next it's just one-word answers.

 " so, what happened?" oh we are back on topic " told u i fought with my friend" i said talking informally with him, i knew he is my boss and i was supposed to talk formally but it doesn't seem right when i was talking about my personal issue. " what she said that made u cry?" i still didn't open my eyes  " why do u think she made me cry? she may be just said facts and i was overreacting" i can fell his eyes on me "it may happen but u don't overreact" i just smiled " u are talking as if we know each other from ages and u are wrong she just said facts well not all but mostly and i was just" i said with my eyes still closed.

 He was silent for a few minutes and i thought we were done with the topic but he said " does the guy i mean your friend's ex-fiance has a thing for u" he said and i opened my eyes and looked at him with shock he re my expression and said "it's not your fault" " how do u know?" i asked he just shrugged his shoulders and said " i just guessed, see her ex-fiance cheated u helped her make him stay away from her and went to console her but u ended up crying what does that mean?" i just looked at him confusingly

 " that means your friend is trying to blame someone and couldn't able to blame her ex-fiance or the girl he cheated on with so, she chooses u as he has a thing for u and let it all one time on u" i lowered my head and said " not now he used to have and then Swathi came to know and said i already have a fiance and proposed him and he accepted it. She couldn't blame the girl because i told her she was not at fault because she didn't know about swathi and said even if the girl did know about her Akhil is the one to blame." i said controlling my tears

 " u said u didn't have a fiance" he asked raising his eyebrows "No, she lied to him and i just came to know about the whole thing" "still i didn't see why u were crying. Did she say something hurtful?" he asked " i already told u she said facts except one or two"i said turning my head away, tears are flowing my eyes he suddenly hugged me and said "cry all u want i am not looking at u" i couldn't stop myself and hugged him back while crying. He just let me cry while holding me tightly.
