The Ugly Beauty

Part-7

Sad Sid :(

Siddharth's POV

I was not able to sleep for 3 days. How can I when she confessed her undying love for me? God Kiara I love you just as much and even more. But my confession has to wait. It was all a lot to take in. On the third day, I decided I want to know what happened exactly? Who did this to her.When she told me about how she suffered I was so confused and angry as to why would someone do this to her. I was not able to control it. I wanted to hurt someone very bad, particularly those who did this to her, to that sweet, innocent girl who always thought about others first than herself. I remember giving away her lunch to a beggar who used to sit besides our school. When I asked her about it she said 'This is the only thing I can give to him right now, so why not.'

Stay strong, Kiara. I'll see you soon.

So I went to where I knew she could be.

* End Of Flashback *

She was sitting in the living area watching some chick flick on tv. I am not going to give up that easily.

"You can't cut me off Kiara. You need to listen to me. I know you don't want to see me, after all I know I have hurt you by walking away that night. But trust me it was not because I don't feel the same for you. I do more than you can ever imagine but you've got to understand that was a lot to take in. Please talk to me." I was in so much pain to see her like this. She still rejected talking to me. But nonetheless she sat on the couch. I took it as a cue to explain myself.

"Umm... uh...can we go somewhere more private? I think they are watching." I have noticed them eyeing me and Kiara from the window.

"No, I don't think I am going anywhere. If you want to talk you have to do it here." She said monotonously.

"Okay, fine. I know I shouldn't have reacted that way Kiara but I couldn't bear the thought of someone hurting you like that. I felt ashamed that I couldn't look after you, my best friend and my first and last love." I told her exactly how I felt.

There was a hint of smile on her lips. That's a progress I thought. But I was confused about what was funny?

"What?" I asked.

"I think the last line was quite cheesy." She looked at me and smirked. "That doesn't mean you are forgiven. I am still mad at you." She stated.

" Please K." I sat down at her feet  and tried to hold her hand. She resisted a bit but eventually gave in. I smiled. " You have every right to be mad at me. But please understand my situation. I needed space, you of all should understand that. I know I acted as a jerk, but I can't see you like this. Mad and sarcastic, which is quite hot though." I smirked getting up.

" Hot??? How is me being mad is hot to you?" She asked with surprise and confusion.

"Because you do this cute thing with your nose, your eyes light up and your face looks so red. It's like you are flushed."

" I am not, besides the point is how could you run away like that. Do you know how much I suffered thinking that you don't  like me for what I've become. I cried for almost 5 hours and that was all because of you. I felt so cold and lonely, I understand that you wanted space at that time. But you should have told me how you felt when I poured my heart out." She had tears on her eyes now.

" No.. no... please don't cry. I can't even explain how sorry I am for what I've done. You are right I should have told you, it was so irrational of me. Please give me a chance K, I know I made a mistake but please give me a chance to mend it." I was begging now.

" I don't know, if I can. But I'll try to think about it." And with that she left.

Please forgive me Kiara.
