MY AVERAGE LIFE

Part 26

Shivani Pov:

I felt warmth spread over me when Sharath made sure that I ate before sleeping. I woke up feeling good. I always have a headache whenever I cry, and instead of taking medicine, I prefer to sleep, which makes me feel better. I don't like taking medicines, and I think sleeping can solve all the problems. I freshened up and went downstairs. It's 11 o'clock. When I reached downstairs, everyone was sitting at the table, including my friends.

 I joined them and sat between Jyothi and Sharath, as it was the only place left. The table was silent. " had breakfast?" I asked particularly no one " No, we are waiting for u"Anandhi said who sat on the other side of Sharath. "It's late. Let's order" I said and took the menu from the table " How is your headache?" Sharath asked looking at me "No headache, thanks" I said with a small smile he just nodded his head.

 I looked over at Jyothi who is looking at me with concern and I  gave her a small smile. I placed my order others did too, but Swathi didn't order anything. I didn't say anything, but Jyothi ordered for Swathi as well. Soon, our orders arrived, and we all ate silently, not knowing what to say in front of Swathi. After we finished breakfast, we decided to relax by the pool. Just as we were about to leave, Akhil arrived.

 "Swathi we need to talk," Akhil said this time I didn't interfere because I knew swathi would not like it so, I just stayed silent "There is nothing to talk, I said What I want are u ready to give it me" I frowned my eyebrows what is she talking about " do u think marrying in a week is an easy task" I looked at swathi shocked what? marrying him? is she mad? is she serious? i thought and looked at jyothi he just nodded her head Fuck.

" You wanted me to propose, and I did. I told you that we will marry when I am ready, not when you asked me. What happened now?" he asked and looked at her in disbelief, jyothi also had the same expression. Swathi stood up angrily and said "What happened? u are asking me what happened. U cheated on me u dammit and u accept me stay what we will marry after u are ready." "see this is why I cheated on u from the start u know I was not ready for marriage just because your one friend is engaged in an arranged marriage and another friend got proposed by her boyfriend u wanted me to propose no u forced me to propose and I did and see u again wanting me to marry u in one week. Fuck it I am done with u let's break up" he shouted.

 Swathi hold Akhil collar and shouted " how can u ask for a break up after all the things I did for u huh? tell me" " don't blame me u did it all for ur sake not for me. If u did it for me then u would not force me to propose u, u literally told my parents about us and I have no other option than to propose u otherwise I would have broken up with u long ago" he said jerking Swathi hands of his collar. Swathi slapped Akhil hardly and said " you bastard"

 Akhil lifted his hand to hit swathi but I said "stop" he stopped his hand in midway me and jyothi went near Swathi I didn't want to involve but seeing him rasing his hand on Swathi I couldn't help but interfere. Jyothi hugged swarthi "what are u trying to do?" I asked Akhil " ask your friend? i am not the one who is forcing your friend to get married when she not interested and slapped her first" he said sarcastically 

" u could just say no and walk out" I said angrily he scoffed " do u think your so-called friend takes no as an answer" "That doesn't give u the right to cheat" "then what should I do? is it my fault that I don't like her anymore. If I knew she liked to manipulate people and force them to do things according to her I wouldn't have accepted her proposal in the first place. If she didn't forced me i wouldn't have gone to another girl for peace." he said as if there was no other option but to cheat 

" you could have handled the situation differently. You could have talked to her calmly and expressed that you are not interested or suggested taking things slow. If you really didn't want to marry her, you could have told your parents that things didn't work out or made another excuse like u are making here to justify your cheating. It would have been better to gather the courage to tell her that you wanted to break up instead of giving her false hope, only to cheat on her later. And it's not like u don't manipulate others u literally played with Swathi and another girl feeling u don't have the right to judge Swathi and don't blame Swathi for your cheating cause Cheating is not an option it's a choice that u made and would have made despite everything" I said.

 "says the one who is going around saying she is single when are u engaged to a guy" he scoffed i didn't know what to say i didn't want to call out Swathi for lying now " why are u silent now? u never mentioned his name nor tell anyone u are engaged to accept your friends isn't that also considered cheating as u give a chance to others to flirt with u? Answer me?  tell us his name? aren't also not ready for marriage?" I looked confused. "Didn't Swathi tell u his name? and what do u mean by not ready for marriage?""no? she said u didn't want to reveal the name because u are not ready for marriage and didn't want your friends to tease u. U will tell his name when u are ready." really? and he bought that lie stupid i thought. How can a person be this stupid "Now tell me do u the courage to accept you're engagement and tell us his name? No right " " It's me"
