It's the last day of the trimester today. Abhi had insisted that he'll stay with Ruhaan last night, so I came back to my dorm. I collected all the homework and pending assignments from all 4 of our classes for Ruhaan and I before calling it a day and heading back to the dorms where this would mark my final day. The good news was that the principal decided not to contact my guardian/s after knowing what had happened with Ruhaan.
I had packed everything up last night, after I informed Abhi that I will be moving in with Ruhaan for the time being. There is a point in every girl's life when she makes a decision like this; to live in the same house as a person of the opposite gender; but for me I'm doing this just for Ruhaan.
It's hard to forget all that did take place, but there's some sort of connection which keeps bringing me back to the same point, the same person. I just love him to a point that I'm willing to sacrifice myself.
A horn of a car pulled me out of my trance, indicating Abhi was here to receive me. Bidding farewell to all of the girls,' all except Nia as she was in no mood of talking to me, taking a lift to the ground floor with all my luggage, where I said my goodbye to Ms. Jolly, one of the sweetest woman I have met in my lifetime. Pecking my cheek, she waved at me as I carried my two suitcases and two bags outside.
"Hey Myra," Abhi greeted, throwing the luggage into his Jeep Wrangler,
"hey........" I replied, biting my lip.
I observed him closely, letting his immaculate features and beautiful smile sinking in, "that's all?" he asked as I nodded. He closed the boot and looked at me. I took a step towards him, as he took one back, and this continued until his back hit the wall. I smiled, going up onto my tippytoes and putting my arms around his neck, closing the distance between our lips...........
"MYRAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" I heard a familiar voice yell in anger from the other side of the carpark. The short woman dressed in an oversized sweater stolen from, marched up to Abhi and me. She stood there for a brief second, her nose flaring and red with anger, before her hand came in contact with my face at great speed and force. My hand covered the burning sensation on my right cheek, as I looked back at her angry eyes,
"What the hell were you intending on doing?" I smirked in the evilest way I knew possible, "why do you care? Is he your private property that I can't kiss him?" I asked mockingly.
She shook her head, pointing her index finger at me, "I considered you my...."
"Your?"
"my best friend. How could you do this to me?"
"What did I do to you? I was just about to kiss Abhi. By what I know, you two aren't dating right?"
"Right......." she confirmed sighing, "didn't you once think about Ruhaan?"
"What about him? Like I care. The only reason I'm wanting to live in the same house as that guy is Abhi. Besides, what relationship do you two have any ways?"
Tears sprang to her eyes, "there is a relationship that Abhi and I share......." she whispered.
"Really? And what exactly may that be?"
"I love him dammit" she cried,
"You what?" Abhi asked, breaking his silence and shifting his gaze from the ground to Nia.
"You stay out of this," she pointed at Abhi and he put his index finger to his mouth, indicating that he will not speak another word whatsoever,
"As for you........." her hands came closer to me, almost as if she was going to choke me. I took a step back to maintain a safe distance between the two of us, "actually, I'm the one who needs to stay out of this" I said raising my hands in surrender, "c'mon, I did this for you."
Her hands fell to her sides and she looked at me in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
I sighed and began my explanation for acting this weird,
"look, a lot has happened since Abhi and Kishan's fight that day. You stopped talking to him until it was extremely necessary, Kishan going missing, Kishan's accident, and all that followed," both of them listened in complete silence,
"That day in the lobby, when Abhi told me that Kishan was missing and embraced me, I saw you looking at us. When I embraced him in the hospital, you were there. Then when I woke up on Kishan's hospital bed, I pretended that I didn't know who put me there when I knew very well cause there was no one else that could possibly have picked me up. When Abhi made milk for me the other night, you had woken up to get a glass of water, when you stopped to see what was going on," she was starting to get the clue,
"I noticed Abhi admired me for staying in the hospital for the time Kishan was in coma, and that even after all that happened, I came back and cleaned his house, made food for him, fed him, so I took advantage of that. I very well know that he doesn't think of me more than a sister or hopefully his soon-to-be sister-in-law, but this was the best shot I had in uniting the two of you," I said smiling at Abhi,
"Having one of the two of you confess. I was praying that Abhi would push me away and say that he loves you but you came in between, which ended up being even better, except that the right side of my face has gone completely numb," I say tracing the part on my cheek where I was slapped.
"I'm sorry" Nia said holding her arms out top pull me into a bear hug, into which I pushed Abhi.
"Abhi, don't take too long. Remember, you still need to drop me off, and if you take too long, I'll tell Kishan," he smiled, murmuring a "thank you", and hugged Nia back.
I beamed. At last. Now I won't have to deal with Tom and Jerry fighting all day and not talking to one another.
I went and sat inside the car. I looked through the rear view mirror to find Abhi and Nia sharing their first kiss together. I smiled, looking lovingly at the couple and gave myself a pat on the back for being the 'Ultimate Wing Wo-Man.'
Hopefully, one day very soon in the near future, Kishan will kiss me as passionately as Abhi kissed Nia.
I honked the horn, and saw Abhi running up to the drivers' seat.
Once he was buckled and ready to go, I asked mischeviously, "what do I get out of this?"
"What do you want?"
"Hmm........ what about 2 Cookies & Cream McFlurries, 2 McChicken burgers and 2 cokes with ice please" I recited my order.
"Why two for everything?"
I slapped him on his shoulder,
"One each for me and one each for Kishan. He must be hungry too. Plus I get really hungry and I know Kishan is not going to finish the whole thing, so I can have the rest."
He laughed at my antics, "why are you laughing?"
"I'll get you three of each. But I have a condition," he said pulling into the drive-thru,
"what?" my brows furrowed in confusion as to what he was going to demand in exchange,
"You're going to have to call me Bhai from now."
My face relaxed and my lips split into a smile,
"Deal Bhai."
Hopefully this answers some questions.
