Vrushan SS: Rectifying mistakes

Realisations

Shantanu's POV:
I was so annoyed thinking about everything, so I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. I needed to vent out my anger and the only way was dance. Our normally welcomming dance rehearsal room looked daunting and dark today. Empty and silent, maybe indicating what I was feeling. My footsteps echoed through the room as I reached the music system on the far corner. I played the last song left on the system, which suprisingly was "Khamoshiyan". My body automatically began moving across the floor, eyes closed.. feeling the rhythm of the music. My heart raced, beating through my ears.
I carried on for countless hours until my muscles could do no more. I lyed down on the cold floor.. breathing heavily. Without realising I had dozed off to sleep. The sunlight reflected through the walls of the room waking me up from my deep slumber. As my conscious started to come back, flashbacks of yesterday rushed infront of me. I realised what I did...
I closed my eyes hoping, praying that it was just a bad dream yet all i could see was her face in my mind. What have I done. How was it her fault that the interviewer asked me that.
I quickly took out my phone to call her and tell her it was all a mistake then realised I deleted her number out of anger. Without thinking I ran out the studio, got in my car and headed to her house as fast I could. I needed to fix this.
She's my friend, no matter what happens she can't be that angry with me right?
Vrushika's POV:
I couldnt sleep all night, my eyes were red and swollen. But i was strong and at that moment I knew I would never be taken for granted. Never again will I be thrown away the way I was last night.
Shantanu's POV:
I reached her house in 15 minutes, racing through the streets. Standing outside her door I couldnt understand why my heart started racing. I knew this wouldnt be easy. I looked down at myself realising I am in a horrible state, I could see my reflection on the door. My hair standing up in all directions, my eyes red and tiredness written all over my face. It was too late to turn back now so I rang the doorbell and waited patiently, her mum opened the door a few minutes later.
Vrushika's mum: Shantanu! So nice to see you! Are you okay? ( she looked me up and down her smiling face suddenly turning into a concerned one)
I reached down and touched her feet taking her blessings with which she reciprocated by touching my hair.
Me: Yes aunty I'm fine, actually I needed to speak to Vrushika. Is she at home?
Vrushika's mum: Yes she's in her room, but what happened so early in the morning?
Me: Actually it's about this dance performance, I needed to discuss the choreography.
She could look through me, I'm a terrible liar even though I'm an actor I couldnt lie with a straight face. Yet she didnt question it further.
Vrushika's mum: Oh okay, you know where her room is. If you need anything I'll be in the kitchen.
She started to retreat back to the kitchen leaving me to go to her room. I walked my way into her house and stood outside her door. It was closed and I could'nt hear any sound from inside. I knocked the door and waited. 2 minutes passed and no reply. I knocked again and waited, again 2 minutes passed but no reply. I was going to turn and head out when I heard the latch of the door unlock and the door open...
There she stood. Her hair tied back, it looked like she attempted to fix herself up and look presentable. Yet her eyes were red and swollen, I could tell she had'nt slept a second. Her plastered smile suddenly fell seeing my face.
She turned away walking into her room leaving the door open. I followed behind, I had to.
Vrushika: What do you want? (She mumbled not looking me in the eye)
Me: Vrushika I'm sorry, I dont know what got into me. I did'nt mean that. (My voice was breaking and apologetic, head hanging low)
Vrushika: Okay, are u done? You may leave. ( she spoke so monotone, no emotion in her voice )
I could'nt leave, not until we sorted this out. I grabbed her arm to make her sit on her bed next to me. But she flinched away, trying to free her arm. I felt hurt, she's never done this. Not even in D3 days when we had arguments.
Me: Vrushika please hear me out, I was angry, I was'nt thinking straight. You are my friend.
Vrushika: You have many more friends you do'nt need my friendship. ( she turned to me and looked me in the eye then continued ) and i do'nt need yours...
