Twisted Love

Chapter 50

"C'mon you lazy ass. Wake up. Get your ass off from that bed and come downstairs." Shanaya shouted at me and opened the curtains of the window so that sunlight would straight fall on my face.

"Please shut the curtains."

"No way. It's been more than a week, Elena. That's it." She said and left the room. I could sense anger plus irritation in her voice but I couldn't do any thing. One would think how did I get these many days off, right? But let's just say Mason too wanted me to be away from the office or I shall say away from his life for a while. Wonder why? Because as soon as I sent my leave application for a few days it got approved without any questions. I was so fed up of my life that I left everything and came to stay with Shanaya.

I got up and went downstairs.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

"Breakfast. Come have some." I sat beside her and had my breakfast quietly. She was noticing me but did not say anything.

After breakfast we sat down on the sofa in the living room. She started watching P.S I Love You while I checked my phone for any messages or calls. Most of the messages were from Alice asking me where the hell I am. Oh yes, you guessed it right. Even she doesn't know where I am. I didn't tell anyone except my parents. I wonder how come she has not called Shanaya yet.

"Okay that's it." Shanaya said.

"What did I do now?" I asked startled.

"That's the problem. You are not doing anything."

"Meaning?"

"Elena, have you done anything wrong? No, right? Then why are you running? Whom you are running from? Them? Elena, you can't run from them forever. You gotta go back. You have to go back to the same company or have you given your resignation rather than sending them a leave application?"

"No. I have only sent a leave application. I have not thought about leaving the company yet."

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"I don't know, okay? I seriously have no idea what I want to do right now. I feel like a mess. I don't want to hurt any of them. I don't want to hurt myself."

"You are doing it anyway."

"So what should I do?"

"Choose. Decide. You have to make a decision. It's time. Do you want both of them to leave you?"

"No."

"Well it seems like that only. Do you think they will wait for you forever? They won't."

"How do I make a decision?"

"Choose the one who makes you happy. Who will be there with you in worst times coz everyone is there with you in your happy time. Someone with whom you will forget all your worries, who will do anything to make you laugh. Just by looking at him will bring a smile on your face. Choose the one with whom you see your future. With whom you will be happy. Whom you love. Listen to your heart, baby girl, it will guide you." She hugged me and left.

I went to my room. All the thoughts running through my mind. All the memories with Mason, with Nate. Shanaya is right. It is high time. I closed my eyes and tried to think about my future with whom I will be more happy with. I don't know for how long I sat there like that reminiscing all the memories but finally after a while I got up and I went back downstairs. "Shanaya? "Shanaya?"

"What happened?"

"I have decided. I want to go back."

She smiled. "I will just book your tickets."

She booked my tickets immediately. Fortunately the flight was in 3 hours. We packed everything and reached the airport on time for a change.

"I hope you have chosen the right one." She said.

"Yeah. I hope so too."

"So?" I whispered the name in her ear.

She smiled. "I knew it. Now go before you miss your plane."

"I can't afford to do that."

We hugged each other and said goodbye.

I hope everything will be fine now.

As soon as I landed, I called him. After a few rings he picked up my call. I gained all the courage and finally started speaking.

"Hey." I said.

"Hi." He said. It felt good to hear his voice.

"I want to meet you. It is important. I will message you the details."

"But"

"Please. I will wait for you." I did not let him finish and disconnected the call.
