You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter- 50 My One and Only

Adi crossed his arms in front of his chest. Mitali gulped and said,

Mitali: Adi, tell Ruhaan to open the door, please.

Adi: You heard him. He is not going to open the door until you tell me what's going on.

Mitali: I don't know what you are talking about.

Adi:(angrily) You KNOW exactly what I'm talking about! Stop acting so indifferent!

Mitali shuddered but tried to speak with a firm tone,

Mitali: I'm not acting indifferent.

Adi: Yes, you are. Now tell me the reason behind all this.

Mitali: Behind what Adi? What are you trying to say?

Adi: Mitali, why are you doing this?

Mitali: I already told you. You didn't do anything. Let me go, please.

Adi grabbed her shoulder and spoke,

Adi: Mitali, I swear to God I'll loose my mind if you don't tell me the truth now.

Mitali: Adi! Let go off me, NOW!

Adi: Just tell me the reason!

Mitali: Adi! You're hurting me!

Adi immediately realized what he was doing and backed off. Mitali breathed heavily.

Adi:(looking helplessly at her) I just want to know what is wrong. What have I done? I can't stand the fact that you are not talking to me! Please tell me what is it. Is it something I did?

Mitali:(teary eyed) I.......I.....

Adi: What? What Mitali?! Tell me what crime have I committed?

Mitali gathered up all her courage and strength and said,

Mitali: Why do you care?

Adi looked at her with surprise,

Adi: Huh?

Mitali: Why do you care? Whether or not I talk to you? How does it matter?

Adi : Because You are my FRIEND God damnit!! Are you seriously asking that question?

Mitali: Well, so are Shayantani and Ananya, right? You don't care whether they talk to you or not.

Adi: Yeah, but that's different!

Mitali: How? How am I any different?

Adi: Mitali!

Mitali: Am I saying anything wrong? I am as much of your friend as they are,right? Then it shouldn't matter, should it?

Adi: No! It DOES matter!

Mitali: Why?

Adi: Because I......

Mitali: You don't have an answer ,do you?

Adi kept mum as she proceeded further,

Mitali: You really want to know why I stopped talking to you?

Adi looked at her.

Mitali: My Mom once told me that if people are not bothered about my absence,then my presence probably never mattered to them.

Adi: How has that got to do with any of this?

Mitali: Two days back......... I came to meet you in the canteen........ and I saw you with this girl. You guys were laughing....... giggling...... having the time of your lives...... and that's when I realized...... how wrong was I to even think that I was special......or something like that for you........I realized that I was just....... another girl....in your life.........I didn't matter...... just like any other girl in college......And that hurt me, Adi...... That really hurt me because.......I..... thought I was different from the other girls....that...I mattered more...... I was wrong....
