Rohan's POV :
I felt much lighter after telling Ishika what was disturbing me since a long time. Although I did feel bad for making her feel guilty like that. But I'm sure she understands my feelings which meant, things between us will still remain the same as before even after me sulking so much in front of her.
Next Morning
"I'll be ready in 10 minutes. You're ready?" Ishika spoke through the intercom while I was getting ready.
I almost froze for the moment, staying in the same position with my comb in my hair "Are you coming with me to college?"
"Of course dumbo. Why else do you think I've called you right now. duh!"
"Ishika, you seriously don't have to do this. I mean not at least today." She told me yesterday that it was hers and Sachin's two months anniversary today and she was so very excited about her special day. "I anyways thought Sachin would be coming to pick you up today."
"Listen Rohan, don't talk as if I'm doing some favour on you. I'm going with you because I want to. And Sachin, err.. I'll meet him in college only! Ok so come down in 10 minutes. I'll be waiting." She said quickly and disconnected. It made me feel a little happy that Ishika still cares for me. Even if just as a friend, but she does.
I quickly ate my breakfast and shooted down. As expected, Ishika was already waiting there. My heart skipped when I saw my angel standing there, tapping her foot in anxiety. She looked more beautiful today in her pink top and black jeans, stealing my heart for the millionth time. I wish, I would've told her earlier itself that how much I loved her.
I shook my head, burying my feelings inside and switching my friend mode on before moving towards Ishika.
--------------------------
"Errgghh. He's still not picking the phone." Ishika complained while we started walking after parking my bike.
"He must be busy. Try again" I said assuringly.
"Uh ok. I'll do that but you go to class now. Its already time for the lecture."
"No its fine. I can wait till he comes."
She rolled her eyes pushing me to go for the lecture "I'll be fine yaar don't worry. Now go. You'll really be late."
"Are you sure?"
She nodded. I sighed and gave her a half hug "Ok. Take care. And enjoy your day." I smiled to her and much to my dismay, I turned around and rushed towards the class.
-----------------------------------------
"You still haven't gotten over Ishika right?" Diya asked out the blue, while we both were walking out after the lectures were over.
I stopped in my tracks, shocked at her statement "What?.. errmm.. Ishika.."
"Its ok Rohan. I know you liked her." She said putting a hand on my shoulder. Freak! Am I that obvious?
I really dont know how to reply to this "Diya.. I."
She again cut me "But you know something? You seriously should accept their relationship now and move on."
"Stop it Diya. There's nothing like that between me and Ishika. We're just best friends.That's it."
"Seriously Rohan! Who are you trying to fool? I'm not blind ok. Do you think I can't see how you look at Ishika, like a total Romeo? Or much it hurts you to see her with Sachin? All I want to say is; stop hurting yourself now. Stop pitying on yourself. Its not that Ishika is the only girl here right. And for God's sake, just look at yourself once Rohan. Girls out there are dying for your attention. You can get any girl you want. Then why do just want to hurt yourself running behind a girl who dosent even attempt to know your feelings. Ishika is happy with Sachin.The sooner you accept this, the happier you will be. And you also have all the right in the world to be happy. With someone, who loves you back. Just stop pitying yourself now. Please."
I was stunned is an understatement. I never knew Diya observed me so closely, that she knew exactly what I was feeling. For me, she existed in the group only because of Sachin. I never took her as a friend ever from the start. And the thing that I hate the most is that; she's right!
I think I need to come out of this fantasy world that Ishika will probably love me back one day. Because clearly, she won't. She's happy in her relationship and I should just let her be.
I looked towards Diya "I think you're right."
Hearing that, she smiled "That's like a good boy."
I smiled at her too. She said "Woah. Lessen this killer smile Rohan Kapoor. If any girl sees this gorgeous smile, she'll definitely fall for you."
Yeah! Except Ishika. I said in my head.
"Thanks Diya. Thanks for making me smile again. I'm really grateful." I said, giving her a hug, glad that I found a new 'unexpected' friend in her.
