YOURS - A Darshan Raval Fanfiction

Confession

After some time my phone rings. But I don't feel like talking. Whoever it is could wait till my mood gets better. I lay there still, listening to the ringtone.
'Ke shab tum ho... Tum hi din ho...". It comes to an end and immediately starts ringing again. I look up at the screen. His number appears there. I sit up instantly and receive the call.

I hear him inhale deeply. I don't know what made him call me so I wait for him to say something. And he says, "Hey, Tansh. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you."
"It's Okay. I guess someone made you angry?", I say making it sound like a question. He sighs.

"Don't say! I was just.. I don't know I didn't feel quite well. I was just checking my gallery randomly and the family pictures made me sad. And I just cancelled today's recording after that. But the manager and other people kept persuading me and this really got into my nerves. Then you called and I just couldn't control", he finishes.

"It's pathetic. They should care about your problems as well na!", I say feeling bad about the family matter but decide not to say anything about that. He'd discuss when he be ready.

"Sometimes it really pisses me off! To be on the spotlight all the time and others making my decisions for me", he states with a sigh. "I understand. Anyone would be if they were in your place", I state my thoughts.

"Are you angry at me for shouting like that?", he says slowly. I grin at this but think of giving him a hard time. Just for a while. "No, of course not! Why would I be angry? It's okay to shout at me to pour down your anger", I say sarcastically.

"See, I was out of control at that moment. And I really didn't mean to snap at you like that", he pauses. "You know me well. I'd never behave like that with you", he says again. I stay quiet, not saying anything.

"You're doing it purposely now!", he states a bit irritated this time. I laugh at his childish tone. "Thank God! I thought I'd have to work harder", he cheerfully adds. "You prick! Work for it", I demand.

"No way! I'm not gonna waste my energy saying sweet things to you", he says and I can imagine him shrugging. "Okay then! I'm sleepy, bye", I know it's gonna work. "You're too damn stubbornly idiotic", he says dramatically. "Aw! How sweet of you", I roll my eyes and hear him chuckle.

A sudden silence strikes our conversation. Both deep in thoughts. "You know you're one of my very few closest friends and you mean a lot to me, right?", he says suddenly.
"What happened Darshan?" I ask him because it's not everyday he confesses like this to me. We be serious sometimes but never in this way.
"Nothing. I was just thinking what would happen without you", he casually says but my heart leaps at this. I know I'm closer to him than his other friends but it feels different hearing it from him directly like this.

A wave of unknown pleasure and fear runs down my spine. I'm afraid of good things. Specially happiness. For bad things come with the good ones.
I push the thoughts at the back of my mind and reply casually, "nothing much. You'd still remain as idiotic as ever but unfortunately there wouldn't be anyone to remind you that".

He doesn't laugh at this like I expected, instead he says, "Tanshi, I'm serious. I've lost friends in my life you know that. And I can't afford to lose you ever. I don't show often but you're a huge part of my life. You're the only person who's always been there beside me in every situation, giving me shoulder to cry on, making me laugh even when I was not in the mood", he stops and takes a moment to continue again.

"I know I never express. But you're one of my very few closest friends and you mean a lot to me. You've been there throughout all my ups and downs. You've become an inseparable part of life. And I can't afford to lose you ever. I really want you to know, you're a part of my happiness and my life. & I need you beside me now and always. After all you've consumed my life with your stupidness making me one along with you", he finishes trying to lighten the mood with the last line.

But his confession lingers in the air for a long, long time and I know it'll stay there in my heart till my end. Cold breeze blows over me but my heart is warm. His words roam there spreading the warmth and making it beat with a ferocious pace.

A smile crept up on my lips along with the moisture at the corner of my eyes.
