The Cursed love

Extra chapter

Finally Ted was in agreement to let Leyla and Bella meet each other. Though Ted and James both were still unwilling. Ted decided that it will be better for him to not be present at the place. Unwilling, but Leyla agreed with that too.

As per the plan, Ted would leave for Washington, where we would see off him at airport and go meet James and Bella.

But I still had few things to tackle before the episode begins

"I am going to talk to Ted."
I told Leyla.

"Oh okay. I am calling dad."
She told me.

I nodded and went upstairs and as I reached outside Ted's door. I heard some murmurs.

-but where have you been? Is everything fine there? When are you coming?
A strange female voice.

I am coming. Ask them to come here too.
Ted said.

Okay. And-
The female's voice.

Cut it!
Ted.

Hyu-

Was all the female was able to say before there was a loud voice of closing the wardrobe.

Before he comes to check. I knocked as if I didn't heard anything.

"Hey. You want something?"
He asked as he opened the door. I could see how upset he was.

I nodded.

"A small moment to talk."
I said.

He nodded.

"Get in then."

We sat across each other on his bean bag.

"Are you going to console me with Leyla's situation?"
He asked.

"Nope. You finished with your packing?"

"Yes! You want to add something? Like shopping list?"
He asked making silly face.

"Haha! No thanks next time!"
I said.

There was some silence for that moment. I was not getting words to begin.

"Emrale... (After a pause) I am sorry! I have to go like this. I hate leaving Leyla in scramblation like this. I am glad she has you by her side. I am going not only because I can't bear Leyla being in this risk! But- but also because-"

(closing and opening eyes too fast in frustration.) He continued.

"I just can't stay strong now! I can't see you with him anymore! I feel like you are jumping into the dead well and I am being pulled by the black hole! I am sorry Emrale I am not that strong to let you go! I don't know why I have such strong instinctuals to get away. I am not able to see sane options. I wish I had some other way to escape but this is the only way! I have to go. Don't hate me okay?"

"Ted- Ted. It's okay! Breath! We won't hate you. No matter what?! For now what really concerns me is you don't have to keep what you feel inside and Leyla not making any compromise on her part. It's our fate we can't do anything about it."
I said.
He simply nodded and looked at the ground.

"Ted. I don't know why it was supposed to be two of us. You are too good to get hurt by me. I don't know why it has to be you to fall for someone like me who can't love you enough. I am not pitying on you but it's ridiculous to not help a friend like you. Why it has to be our friendship against our love? I don't understand. It's like we neither can breath in water nor in air. Trust me I couldn't imagine you in a situation like this. And to be the one to put you in this situation is even more drastic."

I dared not to look at him and continued.

 "I can't love you the way you do. Not because I have someone in that place of my heart but because you completely own my another dimension. I won't force you to be just like we were I know that's not possible."
I could feel his intent stare on my face. I was almost burning.

"I won't force you to stop. Not because you think you are not strong but because I am very weak to hurt you anymore. Its okay if you walk out on. I have hurt you enough. We can't always have people we want in our life. Not because we deserve better but because we are not good enough for everyone."

I poured out going with the flow. When I finally looked at Ted, his eyes were all red and tears hid somewhere behind, ready to attack. That gave me goosebumps.

He faked a chuckled before saying and shakes his head sideways

"You know what? You are seriously a miserable, unhateable, beautised being. Firstly, I just can't hate someone you love so it becomes sandwich when it comes to that beast. Every time I hate to see him. I wish to kill him but then you come into my thoughts making me feel like a villain! Then I can't hate you of course!"
He looked so angry at the moment but Immediately softened the next moment.

"So all this time I hated myself. It was easier to blame myself for everything. But now after all the article you narrated. I can't even hate myself. You made me look so good and loved, that I can't even hate myself. You can't get anymore ridiculous than this. I am sure."
He said.

And now I felt terrible about it. I shouldn't have gone with the flow. 'Article you narrated' seriously?!

I dared not look at him at this moment. I felt so small!

"I am glad though, for all you said. Knowing how it hurts you to see me like this. It's more than I can ask for. I can't say I will try to move on and try not to love you. It will be a lie..."
The moment he said this my heart beats went so fast as if they were about to collapse! But then He changed the tone entirely.

"but if I find someone who can love me just like this, I will surely love her back the way I should. I won't be able to replace you but I would let that person own the whole new dimension of mine. That will keep me close to both of you and it won't hurt anyone."
He finally concluded. Concluded his article!

This some how definitely calmed me a bit. Things were still too complicated but no more uncomfortable.

He hugged me in his bear hug for a while and we let go of it.

"I will ask for your permission before I give up the sheild."
I told. Him.

"I don't know if I will be able to let you do that at that time, I don't know if I will be there, so if the time comes let the butterfly fly away. It will be a beautiful eyenery. Trust me. Though I won't be there to see it with you but I will know."
He said and flicked his finger on my nose.

"Eyenery? This is the height Ted. It's absolutely not a word!"

"Like it's matterical thing for me!"
He said dramatically waving.
We chuckled at that.
"Will you be relieved?"
I asked after small pause.

"I will be smiling to see you relieved."
We breathed heavily in silence letting go the last strand of stress in the throat.

"Did you took the sunglass I gifted you?"
I asked changing the topic and opened his wardrobe.

"Yeah I already did."
He said coolly and kept his bag on floor ready to carry.
***
Since some of my favorite readers loved Ted so much I wrote this one especially as a gift to them. Hope you liked it..

Love can sometimes take over friendship but it can not be forgotten at all! The compromise between love and friendship really save more than two lives!
