Chapter 31

Sidd's POV

me and nakchadi have been sitting here in silence for almost 5 minutes now....this place was really beautiful....it gave me peace just being there 

Avu: sidd can i ask you something (her calling me by my real name shows that whatever she is asking about is very serious)

Sidd: yeah go ahead

Avu: why don't you celebrate your birthday? 

that question made my heart stop for a second.....wait a second

Sidd: how do you know i don't celebrate my birthday?

Avu: u-uhm why does that matter...just answer my question (she said trying to change the topic)

Sidd: answer me first or else i won't answer your question

Avu: well uhm di told me

ugh di can't keep anything to herself

Sidd: well then she should have told you why as well (i said looking away from her face)

Avu: she didn't (she said as she pulled my face towards hers).....so now you have to tell me

Sidd: i don't HAVE to (i said trying to divert the conversation)

Avu: stop trying to divert the topic and tell me (she said in a stern voice)

i sighed and told her

Sidd: well that was the day that my dad died and it was also the day when she found out about the reality of her second husband the second incident happened years later but it was on my birthday and after that i stopped celebrating it. it was the worst day of my moms, dada's...my whole family's life how can i celebrate the day that ruined our lives....everyone who is close to me always tries to make me celebrate it but i just can't because it makes me feel so guilty how can i celebrate a day that ruined my mom's life

Avu: bandar i understand your reason but have you ever thought about that your mom, your family might be feeling the same. Have you ever thought about how guilty your mom might be feeling because of her one mistake it ruined your life....because of her trusting the wrong person you stopped trusting people in general......because of her falling in love with the wrong person you stopped having faith in love.....because of her finding out his reality too late it ruined you. It's been so long since that happened but have you ever thought how sad everyone around you feels when they see you depressed on your birthday.....i understand it's hard but sooner or later you will have to move on you can't always keep holding on to the past you only have one life don't waste it by being stuck in your past enjoy today and embrace tomorrow. And for your dad...it wasn't in anyone's hand but do you think he would be happy seeing you like this...he wouldn't he would want you and your family to move on and be happy because that would make him happy in heaven. If not for yourself do it for your family, do it for your mom, do it for abhi bhai, do it for the gang, do it for the people who have stood by you always....do it for the people who always want to see you happy....do it for me

i thought about it....she was right, i have to move on sooner or later i can't keep living like this....this way i am giving that man what he wanted i can't let him destroy my life like that and my dad would want me to be happy. 

Sidd: you know a lot of people have told me all this but this had a different effect

Avu: that's cause im special for you (she said flipping her hair)

Sidd: and how are you special for me? (i said smirking at her)

Avu: wellllll i am your.......best friend (she said sticking her tongue out at me)
