Just Friends (COMPLETED)

This is it!

Ishika's POV:

I was pacing back and forth in my room since the time Sachin has dropped me home half an hour back. The ride in the car was not as awkward as I thought it to be. Thank God for that. That's some sort of a relief at this moment.

Once I was back home, my mind again wandered around the only thing that was on my mind these days - Rohan's behaviour. Never in my life has such a situation ever happened where Rohan would ignore me like this. And in all my honesty, my best friend's absence in my life is hurting me. A lot!

But what I don't understand is - why is he behaving in such a strange way? If anyone should be angry, its me. Not him. What the hell have I done to anger him so much that he completely ignores me? No. Rohan can never do this to me and I know it. Then what has exactly gone wrong with him? My heart is sinking now and I exactly know the reason why.

After doing some more march past in my room, I found myself sitting on the edge of the bed. I started to think what I really wanted.

'So what if he rooted for my break up, its not that me and Sachin would have been an inseperable couple if he hadn't. I anyways knew that we wouldn't go much longer together. Can't I forgive him on that? Is this such big an issue that it costs our friendship?

But he also told me that he loves me! Wouldn't all this be awkward now?

Errghh! Chuck that. Chuck everything. At this point, I don't even want to know who's right and who's wrong. All I know is that I need Rohan back in my life and that's it. I can't tolerate us being in this 'angry-birds' mode anymore.

I'm feeling me and my best friend drifting apart and that's the worst feeling ever. And anyways, which best friends don't fight? At the end of the day, I know that he's my pillar and I just can't be happy like this, without him. We've been always together and that's the way it has to be. Always. Even if it means that I have to take the first step to build the bridge. For him, and for our friendship, I can gulp down my ego and go talk to him straight away.

But wait, he even said that he loves me. And has been since ever. I'm sure even if we get back to being friends again, things are going to be awkward.

But duh! Can I imagine my life without Rohan in it? Umm... At this point - Not at all. Do I really have But what's annoying me is that I can feel someone else filling my place. No. This won't happen. I won't let this happen.'

I felt the hot water flow down my cheeks. This is it. I can't take this anymore. I needed my answers and that too, soon.

-------------------------------------------

I went straight to his home but there, his mom said that he wasn't at home and that he had gone out with his friends.

After coming down, I fidgeted whether to call him or not, but then decided against it and went back home.

After dinner:

Keeping my daily routine intact, I still used to go down for rounds after dinner. The only difference being that now, I had to go all alone. I couldn't even call Nikki Di (Rohan's sister) with me.

While walking, my feet stopped by themselves when I spotted Rohan standing there, holding the chain of our regular swing in the playground. Should I go and talk to him or should I not?

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

Okay this is it. I know I want to resolve my differences with him. So I definitely have to talk to him. Okay. That's decided now. I started walking towards him.
