What we left unsaid.

9. Help her.

Aditya POV

I look outside to the corridor again. No sight of gorgeous long black hair anywhere.

This was the 5th time in 10 minutes.

Snap out of it Aditya. You can't wait for her to show up. She rejected your offer to take her upstairs, remember? My inner voice snapped.

I jerked my head away from the corridor and tried to focus on my soup. Key word, tried. I gave up after a while tho. I looked outside again.

"Uhm-uhm." Pranay coughed with a smirking face as if he knew why I was looking outside. Shit. That jerk. I stared back at him with a cold glare but instead of shutting up, he started laughing. I swear I was gonna punch my best friend's face before his wedding.

Naina who was sitting beside him looked at her fiancé with concern and asked him if he was okay.

"You know babe, sometimes there are people who say something else but do the complete opposite to what they said." Pranay said while looking at me. "Ya babe, I know. Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden tho? Naina asked confused.

Pranay just laughed and kissed Naina on her head while she still looked confused.

I looked outside again when Naina and Pranay got busy staring at each other with moon eyes. Ugh, they are still in their honeymoon phase after almost 11 years of dating. It gets a little too unbearable sometimes.

Still no sign of gorgeous long black hair and douchebag brown excessively gelled hair anywhere.

I don't wanna admit it but when I saw her at the airport again today, I felt a lot of things.

She didn't change a lot. Her features just became a bit mature.

Her eyes were still a deep ocean of dark brown I would gladly drown in. Her eyes shone so beautifully under the sunlight and the unshed tears just adding to the sparkling highlighting her features even more, making her look like an ethereal goddess who came straight from heaven.

Even in a casual shirt and jeans with sneakers, she managed to outshine everyone present at the airport.

She was still pretty short in height and I loved it so much because when we stood next to each other, we just looked so perfect. I loved teasing her about her height when we were young. It was so fun looking at her when she made an angry pout and just glared at you. It was not scary at all. It was cute. Very cute.

Her hair are these long black beautiful waves falling loosely till her shoulders.

Her body is still the most perfect figure I have ever seen. 

And it's not just about the body, it's about the way she carries herself, with such confidence and she just makes everyone look at her without even trying.

Every inch of her is still so perfect. Just perfect.

I jerked out of my thoughts. What the fuck am I thinking? What are these thoughts? I am not supposed to think this. No, I can't. I am supposed to be mad at her.
She betrayed and left you. Did you forget?

I looked outside again and saw Yash coming in. I clearly remember him. He really got on my nerves back then. Honestly, he still does.

He took a seat and 5 minutes later Kavya walked in as well.

Kavya came and sat beside... she sat beside Yash. I'm sorry what?

I managed to keep my expressions neutral when all I wanted to do was wipe that stupid smile off his smile when they were talking.

Kavya sat right in front of me and there were a lot of times our eyes met or our hands brushed each other's and each time she would look away or jerk herself back as if I was giving her an electric shock.

I was getting really pissed now but just then our food came and everyone began eating.

I took a bite of my food and glanced up and saw Kavya not eating anything but just looking at the food with fear.

She then slowly took out 3 pills and started chugging them down with water one by one.

I wanted to ask her what the medication was for but before I could open my mouth Naina spoke, "Kavya. What are these medicines for?"

Everyone turned to look at her and she just became pale. After what felt like an eternity, Kavya looked up and said slowly, "Uh these are for my eating disorder. I have to take these before every meal so that I can take in food without throwing up."

"But it's not too serious guys, it's fine."she said when concern washed over everyone's faces.

What the fuck? Eating disorder? She did not take any medication for it during school. But then again, she did have a negative relationship with food because of all the taunts her parents gave her. I tried really hard to help her maintain the positive relationship with food but I guess it didn't work.

Dread spread through my veins at the mental image of Kavya having to take medicines just so she could fucking eat.

My hands turned into fists and I realised what I was doing again.

Snap out of it Aditya! You can't do this.

After a while everyone started eating again and I noticed how little Kavya ate. She was talking to others and her plate was empty.

I should be happy that her plate is empty but I'm not because it had such little food. This was definitely not enough for a person in her mid 20s.

I tried to focus on my food but gave up after a while when I knew I could not for the life of me, swallow the food knowing what she's going through.

Whatever conversation Kavya was engrossed in ended when she received a call and she answered it.

She spoke in a light British accent because she went to college there and it just sounded so sweet and amazing.

I'm guessing it was a work call and after 2 minutes she hung up and looked up from her phone.

Our eyes met and I don't know how but I could just tell that if I think this eating disorder is bad, I'm missing out on a lot of things that are going on in her life.

It's more complicated than this. I'm sure of it.

I just need to find out what it is. Then, maybe I can help her.

Maybe. I can help her.
