Part l ♩ Chapter 8 ♩

[Kriya’s POV]

I have no idea, absolutely none, how my feet managed to follow through when I was on stage, in my position, finishing every step taught. My mind was complete blank, but yet, my body seemed to know what I was supposed to do. For that, I was glad. If not, because of him, I would have lost everything once again.

Three minutes after being on stage, we were dismissed as the next group took their positions. We will had two hours to go before all groups would have performed and decision would be announced. I can imagine, making the decision of who stays and who leaves, from two hundred people present, could not be an easy one to make. There must be many things the judges and the instructors have to keep in mind while doing so.

I felt someone tap my shoulder, and I turned to face Swayam. “Hey, what are you doing here?” I asked, surprised to see him.

“I came to meet Rey, but he’s busy. And I saw you here. Are you okay?” I didn’t reply, and he continued to question. “What did he do now? I told him not to do anything stupid! But no, he can never listen to me. And every time he doesn’t, he gets himself deeper in trouble.”

I sighed, “Please Swayam… I know the two of you are best friends, but I don’t want to talk about him. He has done enough wrong to me to last me a lifetime.”

He didn’t argue, and I was thankful of that. “You know, we’re really glad you’re back. Even if it is for the competition. Sharon really has missed you.”

“I missed you all too. Many times, I wanted to come back. But it would have just been too much. I knew I couldn’t meet just the two of you without not having to meet Rey. And I wasn’t ready for that. Even today, I’m sometimes not ready.”

“A love that strong… it’s not easy to put behind us.” He advised.

I agreed with that. As much as he has hurt me, I still continue to love him. It’s impossible to forget all the good memories when put opposite the hurtful ones.

“You and Sharon… what about you two?” I asked.

He smiled, “She doesn’t get annoyed by me, if that’s what you’re asking.”

I chuckled, “She’ll eventually admit her love for you.”

“Off late, she has been getting reckless in hiding it.” He admitted.

I grinned and went on to tease him, putting Rey aside for the time being. I was happy for my sister and best friend. It has been years and I know Sharon should have already admitted her feelings for him, but atleast she wasn’t denying them either. That had to count for something, doesn’t it?

[Rey’s POV]

I watched Kriya and Swayam talking. She laughed at something he said. That brought about a smile on my face. If you think I regret what I did and said this morning, then no. I don’t. I had been patient for two weeks now. Things had gone according to her. I let her run away each time. But today, I had enough. I was tired of her running away before I could explain things to her.
