Love at Last Sight (18+)

Chapter - 55

Sanjana's POV:

I decided that I had to stay strong. I didn't do anything wrong, so I had to keep my head high and be proud of my self.

I have been mopping in my room for the last 20 days. My family is suffering because of me. So I decided that I would come out of this phase and go back to Delhi.

Atleast if I cry there my parents wouldn't see me and feel bad for me.

I went to my dad and told him that I would go back to Delhi. He tensed a bit and asked if I am completely okay and alright to go there. I assured him and told him that I cannot miss  classes as my semester exams are nearby. I cannot slack in my academics anymore.

By evening, I already landed in Delhi. I bid a good bye to my dad and started going into my dorm.

"Beta, jo bhi ho raha hai tumhare saath, mein kuch nahi pucha iska matlab ye nahi ki mai iss topic ko chod diya. Jo bhi tumhare saath galat kiya usse tho main saza dekar rahunga. Ye mera vaada hai", saying this he kissed my forehead and went away.

(Translation: Dear, whatever has happened with you, I wouldn't question what that is but that doesn't mean I left the topic alone. I would punish whoever has wronged you and that's my promise)

I went into my room and my friends immediately surrounded me.

"This is not right Sanjana. We were so fucking worried about you and you don't even answer any of our fucking calls. You cried and went away and we are left alone thinking what could have happened to you", yelled Tara and I suddenly felt guilty for keeping them in the dark.

So I sat them down and explained everything that I went through for the past 4 months.

"whattt?? You went through all of this alone?? You should have told us baby", Piggy sympathized with my situation.

"And that idiot Akshath did not believe you? But why? You did all this for him right?", exclaimed Sam.

"Sam, she did not have any evidence to prove herself as innocent and Akshath always thinks logically so he wouldn't believe her", explained Tara.

I felt like crying all over again but controlled myself as I don't want to stress my friends anymore.

"Do you want to go outside? We can have some coffee and then go shopping. Its been so long since we had a girls day out", suggested Sam and I nodded as I really felt that I needed a break.

We spent the entire friday evening shopping, roaming around the mall, trying different kinds of foods. For the first time in these 4 months I felt happy.

We booked a cab and returned back to our dorm. As I was entering inside I heard a voice which made my heart race.

"Sanjana, I need to talk to you please", Akshath voice reached my ears. For a second, I thought I was hallucinating as i never heard a please from his mouth but when I turned around, I saw him standing there in all his glory.

He looks worn out and tired. He was always prim and proper but now his attire was so messy.

I did not reply to him and started moving inside.

"Sanju, please, I beg you. I am so sorry for all those harsh and hurtful words. Please forgive me", his voice shook and felt like he was trying to control his breathing.

I ignored him and went inside along with my friends. He can't just say all those and come back asking for my forgiveness. I may be kind, naive and emphatic but that doesn't mean I lack self respect and would go back rushing into his arms just because he begged.
