Childhood Luv

CHAPTER 28

ISHA-

I go and meet with Ayaan after class. Nervousness takes over me with every step I take towards Ayaan. He was on his phone in the cafeteria occupying one of the tables. 

I take a seat right in front of him "Can we talk?" 

He was startled at my presence and furrows his eyebrows at my question . 

"I understand all of it, the messed up situation and-"

He cuts me "Calm down" says in his usual voice but I sense the temper in it. Am sure he isn't himself with my presence.

"Look, you must have many questions in your mind and I wanna clear all of that, all the misunderstanding."

He nods in response.

I gulp down the saliva taking a deep breath and continue. "I should've known that you had feelings for me else-"

"Else?" 

He is raging 

"Else ? You would have accepted me ?" He asks me.

I can't find answers to that

"I never had feelings for you Ayaan ! Try to understand. Please."

"Never had feelings for me?" He raises his voice. 

Am sure ! The entire university must have heard him. 

"Okay! If you never had a thing for me , then you should have atleast told me not to have feelings for you either." he notices my puzzled face, "Don't tell me you did not know that I loved you since childhood. "

His voice turns into a whisper at the end. I just don't answer lowering my gaze.

"I swear even if I had the slightest clue about I-"

"It was always you! It was so obvious that I liked you , to everyone but you." He pauses for a second "I loved you" 

With that I look into his eyes only to find pain. "I am sorry" 

Tears starts to buildup in mine and I blink them off. I am speechless. I stay silent. He walks away. He just walks away . 

I sat there in silence for a while thinking of how to fix the situation. Four bloody days are left until Yash leaves and I wonder how to convince him. 

Gosh!!! This is so hard..

My phone chimes in intruding my thoughts.

ON THE PHONE 

"Hey Sasha!"

"Hi Isha.. How did it go with Ayaan?"

"Too bad. Did you know where Yash is?"

"Not yet"

I hung up the phone and go to the library.

-----

It has been two days and no one of them talked to me. We were trying to search for Yash but he keeps disappearing after classes. So today, I decided to stalk him. I am gonna follow him and clear out every thing.

If not today, I will not be able to talk to him forever or until he decides to .

The bell dings and everyone moves out of the class. I go behind Yash maintaining some distance. He leaves the campus and gets on his bike. As soon as he leaves , I follow him on mine. He drives a long way and am not really aware of that place. Still I follow him. He parks his vehicle, so do I , enters into a park , the one which has been closed for years. 

What is he doing here?

I observe the surroundings carefully and take steps behind him. 

I hope it isn't something dangerous.

When I look in front of me, Yash has disappeared.

This guy, not again disappeared. 

The sun almost leaves the horizon making the surroundings dark. Though I see trees and flowers around, It still is creepy as hell.

The clouds get heavy and the thunders echo in the sky .

Oh no! It is gonna rain soon.

I brisk forward fast and spot Yash. I call his name but there is no response. He keeps walking forward. Immediately, The rain starts to pour. I , avoiding not to get wet, try to find some shelter. But there are none around me. 

Chills run down my spine. I call his name out again and he luckily turns back. To me!
