SOHAM's POV
Big brother?
Is she really considering me as big brother???
"Damn it! I hate this! " I punched my steering. If she really thinks of me like that I am sure, I can't even confess my feelings! It will be so awkward for her as well as me!
"If you are done punching. Can I request you to give me lift? Till my home? Please... " she spoke making me turn my head towards her.
" You don't need to request me Aahu. Just get in" I said looking at her.
She sat beside me and I wondered am I overreacting? Should I confess now? I don't want to scare her off. What her parents will think ?
" You know, I really like it " she started talking while I drove.
"I really liked the way you spoke out there, I mean the way you supported me. It feels good that people like you do exist on this planet " she said smiling widely. My tensed nerves calmed down listening to her.
"I like the way you dealt with him. I really really like his reaction!" she laughed loudly bringing smile to my face.
"What else do you like?" I asked her.
" I liked soup, it's tasty " she said.
"And?" I asked her.
"I liked the restaurant, dining area is well lit, dont you think? " she asked me.
"And what else did you like?" I asked her. I just hope she won't say Spandan.
"Offo! You keep on asking me the same question! I like that place, soup served to me, his reaction when you asked me to just get up if am done and out of all I like you! " she replied in one go making my eyes go wide with her last sentence. There was utter silence between us and I didn't want to turn my head to see if she has said it for joke or in a flow or something. For me it looked as if she's genuine about it.
"I mean I like you because you stood for me" she said after a gap as if trying to cover for me.
"You like me because I stood for you as big brother or friend?" I asked looking her way who was blushing I don't know for what reason.
"Obviously as a friend. Why will you be my big brother?! That's ridiculous!" she snickered
I was at peace after listening to her. If I could, I would have told her why am I being so protective towards her but if I do, I am sure she will fight with me that she will handle everything on her own.
Stubborn women!
"So.... Why are you suddenly in my life?" she asked me looking out of the window.
"What do you mean?" I questioned her.
" You suddenly helping our family to search some good guy for me, not to forget being too protective around me, it's not that I don't notice everything . I would have kept quiet but this isn't normal! So what exactly is happening? " she questioned me back raising her eyebrows.
Is she a classical dancer? How can one express so much! Her face looks mesmerizing.
" I am your friend, so just looking out for you. When did I become overprotective around you? " I asked her.
" Not now, when you were in jail " she said looking away.
"Oh when?" I asked her.
"Uncle told me you beat someone who spoke ill about me" she said.
"Me? I didn't beat anyone. They fought, I was there. " I replied.
" Sure. I believe you" she murmured
I was silent after that. Affection, love, care if someone says I never had these feelings in me, I will not argue as I have never shown any, I didn't feel the need to show them, I connected to the world yet made others think I am disconnected. The harsh truth is, I was scared, scared to let others know how I feel. I want people I love and care to be around me, scared what if they have expectations from me and I don't meet them? Why am I like this?? I simply don't know the reason, I assume maybe the amount of loss I have suffered caused me to keep quiet. Is it worth it??!
"They were talking bad about you. I don't like it. I like to defend people I like so I did it, besides he's not dead you should be glad" I spoke after few minutes. She looked at me with wide eyes and didn't speak a word after that. Our whole ride she was quiet looking out of the window, thinking deeply about something. As I dropped her home, she waved me bye and walked inside.
Is it worth it?
Maybe it is.
Maybe I should start letting others know how I feel.
Maybe it is worth just for her...
Feeling agitated when something happens to the ones we love or care, helplessness when you know you might be not enough to stop the threat which will destroy your loved ones. When world is going to point out at you for not being responsible enough. I was scared , am I really enough for her marry me? Will I able to keep her safe?
We both are lost in thoughts which will or might or can change our future all together. With one last look at her home I drove away to the only place where I can find solace .
