I'm Forever Yours

8. The competition

Tif's POV
Me and Ail went to the horse riding class. Much to her surprise, we arrived safely in my bike, my future bike to be exact. I was still underage.

I entered the stable. The old stable smell was just so good. I went to the two white horses, Clare and Dane. Clare was my horse and Dane was Mandy's. I loved them both. They were two beauties. I patted them and they whined in delight. They were pleased to see me. How I missed these horses all these months! They were so awesomely handsome. I thought that riding them would be only a memory but I got a chance to ride them yet again.

I saw Shawn coming. I went and hugged him. He didn't seem surprised cause I saw Mandy waiting there. So he came earlier than me. He disgusted me. Shawn patted me and said," I missed my student. Nobody fights so much with me as much as you did. Clare and Dane don't even let me ride them. It's been so long. Where had you been? So long and no contact. You were too mean student."

"Let me explain Shawn." I said

"Andy told me everything. You were busy with your studies right? And he had to migrate. It's okay. From next time at least give me a call." He said.

Gosh. Thankfully Andy hasn't told the truth. I know that one should not be lying cause it hurts but I've got no option.

Ail's POV
I was surprised when Tif took me to the same horse riding classes where I go. So Tif was 'the girl' and Andy was 'the boy' whom Rylo and Shawn were talking about. And Clare and Dave were the horses of Andy and Tif. All the pieces of puzzle fit perfectly. That's why Tif was surprised when I mentioned Andy's name at Red Roses. They were the ones who loved each other unconditionally. Maybe that's why Tif didn't tell me about anything. So that I wouldn't get hurt anymore. This was more heart breaking . I had to face it.

Andy's POV
She stood there. Still so beautiful and elegant. I had wanted so much to see this face all these months. I know I had to give at least a phone call but at first I thought I was in a new world and I didn't need her anymore. I thought I could live without her, happily forever but I was wrong. I couldn't survive without her. I knew I loved her during the horse riding class but I thought that it was just infatuation and I'd get over it. The worse part; it was not infatuation but love. Now I had to get her back. I couldn't bear to live without her.

Tif's POV
Okay. Now the horse riding has to be started. I hope that I'd win and Andy would go out of my life forever. I know pieces of me still want him back but the greater pieces of me want him to go back. They can never forgive him for leaving me all like that and for using Ail. I was living without him and I could live without him too.

Andy told Shawn about the horse riding competition. We had to race from one end of the ground, go around the forest and come back. Whoever would come back first would win the race.

Ail's POV
The race was beginning. I was supporting Tif. It felt awkward but I was finally letting go Andy. Now he didn't bother me anymore. Learning the truth hurts. It's like getting stabbed from the back but after learning the truth it becomes so much easier. I didn't hate him but I no longer like him either. It's like I'm finally forgetting the scars that he'd left behind.

The race started. It was surprising how well they could ride horses. So swift and elegantly.

Tif's POV
We rode in our horses. We were both equally strong and I had 50:50 chance of winning the race. Sometimes he was ahead and sometimes I was ahead. I smaller part of me wanted him to win but a bigger part of me wanted me to win. So I rode as fast as I could. If only I would win...

Andy's POV
She was slowly getting pace. I couldn't let her win. I was trying to do my best but Tif was far too strong. She was forward; far more forward. I wanted to beat her but I couldn't. As we moved on she finally completed getting around and won the race. Ailina cheered for her. Tif looked at me with victory and said, "You know the result now, Don't you? Now Don t bother me anymore."

Shawn said, "Let's have dinner together. It's already 10 p.m. and you should be hungry."

Tif said, "I'm always hungry. It will be my treat today."

When nobody was around I called Ailina. She asked me casually,"What is it?"

I said, "I know it's late but I'm sorry for using you."

She looked surprised. Finally she said, "Wow. I'm really shocked. You hated to apologise and now you are doing it because of Tif. I won't be able to forgive you."

"Thanks" I muttered "For at least listening to me."

What was happening? Tif's love was really changing me. I'd never say sorry or thank you so easily before and now just because Tif hated me being like this I was changing. She was magical.

As I was heading back I heard Ailina say, "Thanks is also very rare from you. You must be affected by her so much."

I stood frozen. Ailina came in front of me and said,

" I'll help you. I'll help you to get her back. "
