Mr.Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 28

"Wow, you look like a ghost", my lovely sister said as soon as I go down the stairs.

"Gee, thanks", I said and dropped down beside her on the sofa and slowly settled my head on her lap to take a nap.

"Did you drink last night", she asked patting my head.

"No"

"Then, why do you look like you have a major hangover?"

"I'm tired because I couldn't sleep last night. So please stop commenting on my condition and let me sleep", I said and tried to sleep.

"Then you shouldn't have come out of your room, like your friends", she said.

"Okay, I'll remember that for the next time. But for now stop bothering me", I closed my eyes trying to sleep even though I know I couldn't.

After sometime Rishitha asked me with a serious tone, "Akka, what happened? Why are you not sleeping?

"Because my lovely sister is not letting me", I said in an attempt to joke even though I know what she meant.

"You know that's not what I meant", she replied sternly.

I got up from my sleeping position and took her to my room. After we settled in my bed comfortably, I faced her.

"Is it about Advay?", she asked. See, she knew me well. Sometimes I like this because we can talk about anything we like without actually saying it out loud. But times like this I wish that she couldn't just read me like an open book.

"Yeah", I agreed without trying to lie.

"Something happened yesterday. Well, technically today but that's not important", I started.

"I noticed", she cut me.

"What? How?", I bewildered.

"You hurt your hand. Although, you hurting yourself is nothing new, those were minor injuries. But this time you've cut your hand deep, that means something definitely happened and it affected you so much", she explained.

Seriously, I don't know how she does that.

"Okay, you are right. But I wasn't talking about that. Advay came to me at two in the morning, completely drunk"

She gasped, "But he never drinks so much"

"Yeah, I thought so too. Apparently, we are wrong", I sighed.

"What did he do?", she asked with enthusiasm.

So, I told her everything about Shailaja, Advay and his promise.

"I don't know what to do. Sometimes I feel like, he likes me too but other times I feel like he is playing with my feelings. I just don't understand him and his intentions", I confessed my dilemma.

"Wow. Just, wow. Your story is much interesting than any other drama", she commented.

"I did not tell you all this to entertain you. I told this so that you can give me some advice.

"Akka, forget about him. Tell me, do you like him?"

"Yes"

"Do you love him?"

"Yes",

"Do you trust him?"

"I don't know"

"Okay, but do you want to trust him?"

"Yes", without wasting a moment to think.

"Okay, according to what you said. Advay or Shailaja never said that they love each other"
