Another Go

Chapter 41: I misunderstood her

Ryan's POV:

"Is she the same Anna, Aarav was talking about?" I asked Siwani as soon as she stepped inside the car.
That was the main reason I told her to come with me. I was curious from the time Aarav introduced us. I could have asked Aarav but I didn't want to spoil his mood.

"Guys see you there!" Aarav shouted from his car and drove away.

"Yeah, she's the same Anna." Siwani said, buckling the seatbelt.

"Is she still a bitch?" I asked. Come on man! I was angry at her for whatever she did with Aarav.

Okay let me Confess, I paid attention whenever Aarav used to tell Siwani his story.

"So it means you too know the story." She sarcastically said.
"You guys talked about it every single time." I rolled my eyes.

"Anna's just hurt. She's a good girl." She said.
"And I'll try my best to reunite them." She added.

"Why'd you help Aarav to go back to a cheater?" I raised a brow.
"There must have been a misunderstanding. Anna's not a type of girl who cheats." She simply said.
"Ask Anna why she did that." I coldly said.
"I will." She smiled.

Within moments we reached the restaurant. Other people were already there. We joined them. Anna and Aarav were together. That girl!

All of us started eating, talking about the day. And then suddenly Anna shouted "Stop it!" I was startled.

Siwani just a took a spoon of ice cream from her bowl. Why was Anna overreacting? Within seconds she started shouting. Everyone were looking at us. She was creating a scene. What was her problem? She was literally blaming Siwani for nothing. Aarav tried defending Siwani but Anna shouted at him too.

Anna left the table, leaving all of us speechless. No one followed her, not even Aarav. He was looking at Siwani with sorry eyes. And Siwani was letting tears flow through her cheeks. Nancy got up and hugged her.

"Siwani.." Aarav said but he couldn't find a word.

"I'll go follow Anna." Rohan stood up.
"Stop! I'll go" I said and left.

Anna was standing at the gate trying to stop a cab. What a silly girl.

"I'll take you home." I said and she turned to me. She nodded, she had no option. She followed me to the parking.

I opened the door for her and she got in. The first few minutes was silent. She was staring at the road.
I passed her the water bottle and she took a sip of water. I wanted to scold her for blaming Siwani but I felt bad looking at her sad face. I chose not to say anything.

"Once again I'm left alone." She stammered.
"What happened?" I pretended to know nothing.
"Aarav chose Siwani over me. He didn't follow me." She managed to say.

She was misunderstanding the whole situation.

"You're wrong. Siwani wants you and Aarav to get together." I defended Siwani.
"I thought the same." She said in a sarcastic tone.

"From past few days they are always together. God knows what they talk about." She said, dropping a tear from her eye.

"They talk about you." I said.

"Huh?" She sounded confused.

"Yes Anna! Every time they were together, they just talked about you. Aarav used to tell about the past." I said, I needed to solve the misunderstanding between them.

"How do you know?" She asked.

"Because I was the one who drove for them, the entire time." I said.
