Zara
We were late. We knew that. But there wasn't a train that Zara Shah has missed in her entire freaking life. So we ran. We ran on the platform of Chandigarh to catch the Shatabdi express to Delhi. We ran as if we had Bulls following us. We ran as if it was a matter of life and death. We ran like there was no tomorrow if we didn't get on that train. And, oh, did we fail! That too, miserably.
I looked back, everyone was standing, huffing and puffing, trying to catch their breaths. I shook my head in disbelief doing the same. Zara shah has finally missed a train. "Guys, we ticked off Miss A Train from our list," Myra said with a grin.
And we laughed. Vicky rolled her eyes with a slight grin. She didn't speak about the events that happened yesterday. We clearly didn't bring it up as well. She will get her space until she wants to talk.
We turned around and there he was again. Alisha didn't do this again! It's like too much right now. Playing Cupid is good but this is way out of limits.
"Just because I didn't give you a piece of my mind last night doesn't mean that you can repeat the same friggin thing again," she yelled at Alisha.
"I did it last night but I didn't do it this time. I swear to god I didn't. Ask me before you accuse me of shit I didn't do."
Vicky kept her mouth shut for a while.
"None of your friends had arranged this. I've come here on my own. Seeking for one last chance. Another try for Us."
"I don't know what to say anymore."
"Just trust me one last time," he said.
She faked a laugh. "It's weird you know... How it has become so hard for me to trust you. You were the orbit around which my world used to circle. How did we end up here?"
"I don't know what else to say, Vicky. I'm ashamed of what I've done. And also what followed next. I shouldn't have left. I should've stayed and tried with you. Maybe I'm not as strong as you are. I'm just too weak. I'm sorry."
"I've been walked on, used and forgotten and I don't regret one moment of it, because in those moments I've learnt who I can trust and who I can't. I've learnt the meaning of friendship. I've learnt how to be myself and appreciate the truly great people in my life as they arrive. I want no more. Just a content life and limited people on whom I can trust. And I don't know if you can be trusted anymore," she said.
He gave a sigh and bit his lower lip. "What do I have to do? Tell me. I'll do anything for you. I can't give up on us like this. I love you. I've only loved you."
"I don't know if I love you too," she said.
He then looked at all of us. Maybe he thought we were holding her back from saying something. To him. "Can we have some privacy," he said.
"No," she instantly replied. "They know everything. They are my best friends. And we are on a trip together which means we stick together. You can't get rid of any of them. You want to talk to me, it's in front of all of them."
"Okay. Vicky. I'm ready to say sorry a million times to you. I'm ready to be with you 24*7. Make me your slave, butler, cook, shoe polisher, anything, just anything. I'm ready to do all that for you. I'll remind you how beautiful you are each morning when you open your eyes. I'll cook you breakfast while your still in bed. I'll help you decide on your clothes each day, which usually takes an hour itself, and I'm not gonna pick up dresses. It's gonna be some loose hood or t-shirt with jeans or cargo pants with sneakers or so. You wouldn't have to dress up all the time. You can be the mess that you want. I'll drop you off to work and on route I'll bring you your coffee from your favourite coffee shop. Then I'll pick you up and we will go home where you'll already find our home clean and I'm gonna do the bed. Trust me. And the I'm gonna tuck u in bed and maybe we will just cuddle all night. I'll say 'I love you' to you every freaking hour, and not even look at any other girl. I'm gonna do every possible thing to make you smile. You're the one. And for you, I'm gonna go to world's most dangerous corners and bring you what you want. Cause you mean the world to me."
Wow. Will she change her mind? Damn, my doubt was proven correct when she went in to hug him . But then...
"You're never the first to wake up. You're a hardcore sleeper. I wonder how you managed on your own. Maggi and daal rice is all that you cook, plus you don't like to cook that often at all. You love to annoy me while picking up clothes and it's because of you that I take an hour to pick out a dress since you make me wear so many every morning. And you love to watch me in a dress. You'd give anything to watch me in a dress. You like it when I drive so that you can take a nap on the side seat. And you'll never pick me up and even if you insist, you'll be late, cause with the amount of workload that you carry, you'll always forget. And you love the mess. You can never clean a place. That's not in your blood. And though all of these flaws of yours annoyed me, I embraced all of them and loved you. I loved you to the fullest and I did every possible thing to mend our relationship but you walked away. And then I was tired. You were worth the wait. But how long does one should wait. I can't get past all of this, Aarav. I can't forgive you like this," she said pulling away from him. "Maybe you should forgive me this time cause I can't give this another shot. I just don't know how to do this anymore. I'm sorry."
He was speechless. "Vicky," I tried to say but she just motioned me to stay quiet. I obeyed.
"I'm not giving up on you, Vicky. I'm never giving up on you. You're my only shot. There's no one else but you. You're my best."
She faked a grin. "We should try to get a flight now or our further bookings get disturbed," Myra said.
We all nodded.
"Goodbye," Vicky told him.
"There's never gonna be a 'goodbye' for us," he said slipping his hands into his jeans.
"We will see," she said turning around and walking with Myra as they indulge into mini talks.
"That was a nice speech," Alisha told him.
"I expected more tears and a lot of drama. But I guess she has cried over it a lot last night," he said instead.
"The whole car ride. You had no idea how guilty I felt. As if I did a crime by having arranged ur reunion."
"I'm sorry if I created a tornado in ur friendship. I'm sorry," he told her.
"It's okay. We both are gonna be fine. It's you who needs to buckle up cause that girl has got many guys lined up at her door. You better be fast to grab her."
"I'm gonna try."
"So are you on his side now," I asked Alisha.
"He loves her," she said. "I only want the best for my girlfriend."
"Even though he has cheated over her," I asked.
To that his head lowered and he didn't say a word. Okay I really need to mind the points I use in a debate.
"People make mistakes, he made one. And Vicky has lessons but he has regrets. She is moving higher, leaving everything behind but he is drowning, not able to see what lies next in his path. And I believe that if two people love each other then they deserve to be with each other. Because keeping away from that one person you love doesn't give you a lesson for a lifetime, it gives you a regret and every passing moment of your life makes you feel why you chose what you have at that moment. Why didn't you think of giving it a try. Why did you let that one person you care about the most go out of your life. And that's going to kill you till the last breath. She doesn't know that. She is confused as fuck. And I'm not gonna make her make the mistake that I...."
"I what," I urged her to say.
"Nothing," she said calming down. "I hope to meet you on better terms the next time we meet. And never give up on her. She's one in a million."
"I know," he said.A/n a long long update :) hope you enjoy it. And what do you think of Vicky's decision. Is she doing it right? N do you think he will be back? Well.. I'm not sure as well..! Lol
