CHAPTER -11
At the end of it!
Arjun
When we vacated our seats and lead to the luggage section, she didn't turn to even look at me. I felt like a child hoping for attention. Do I make a tantrum?
I pranced fast behind her to enclose the distance. She felt my motion and looked behind in surprise. Finding me, she simply blew a long breath before turning away.
The earlier presence of Arohi and Rajveer did us a favour to accommodate us on the single page but I know I felt like like we would have to toil to talk too.
This sudden thought made me sad and wanting. I couldn't think otherwise. I had been bad to her. I cursed her every time. Now I feel terrible. The idea of parting ways with her remembering all the times I cursed her squeezed my damped heart. It felt suffocating. The more I walked behind her, the more I felt her liberty to walk away.
What did I give her? Respect? No. Love? No. Friendship? No.
I am a monster.
I cleared my head and attempted to alleviate the pain in my chest by blowing a breath. It didn't work.
I have to talk to her, I thought. Part away on a promising note.
"I didn't get a Thank you from you for helping with your seat situation," I say to pack the awkwardness between us. It hadn't been like this ever. But I had shit on it.
Thank you for such a minute thing for any human being to do. I am worthless.
She looked at me in silence, an inexplicable expression on her face. Is she sad? Or is she just tired?
After the awaited union of Arohi and Dev, we all went into crisis mode. The confrontation of the absence of a soulmate who would be ready to forgive the unspeakable wickedness and love us no matter what.
"Thank you, Arjun," she said and smiled at me. It was unlike her.
I simply nodded at her. I was devoid of words. I hadn't expected she would smile like that.
We reached the luggage carousel and wait for our bags. When I found mine, she grinned at me and said," Here you go."
I waited for her bag and found it coming at us. She bent to pick it up so I intervened, " Let me."
She looked at me in appreciation before moving aside. I loaded the trolley with our bags and we headed towards the exit.
I wanted her to joke with me or curse me. It was awkward again. It came to full light, we won't meet furthermore.
It was going to be the end of it. Our friendship.
At the exit, Samaiyra was waiting for me, with a big bouquet and an adorable smile plastered on her glorious face. She reached up to me and hugged me tight wrapping her legs around me.
When I glanced at Sanya, I noticed the flicker of enviousness. I liked it But soon it turned into a contented smile.
She waved to me and mouthed," Goodbye."
I watched her walk away from me alone. It had been two years since she had been single. We were there for her but now she is back in Newyork. Arohi would be busy with her long-lost family compensating for all the times they were missing. Rajveer is in Dubai and I wished he got to proceed with Anuska.
But Sanya...I felt sorry for her. She had been everything to Dev. She had changed herself for him and for what?
"I missed you, baby," Samaiyra called me and kissed me on the lips. When j looked back, Sanya was far long gone.
Is it over?
--
The next week passed by with nothing incredible other than Samaiyra and I getting back together. She had made me go to several gatherings, conventions and charity functions as her boyfriend. We had been seen kissing in public.
Many of our friends and acquaintances had discerned how beautiful we looked together. All this time I had restrained the simple inkling at the back of my mind.
Sanya.
Several ideas had popped into my mind. I had avoided them. It wasn't useful anyway. She hated my guts and it would only smother the little friendship we have.
I had talked to Arohi and Rajveer and what was happening. Even Dev. We went ahead and decided to soon go on a trip so they could meet Samaiyra.
In a few conversations, Rajveer had pushed me to talk to Sanya. However, I kept myself from it. He thought I had to be the one in constant communication with her rather than him. I don't want to go to what was meant by that, I just ignored him. I was just scared I will spoil the friendship if I talked to her now. I was scared that I won't be able to match eyes with her now that I was with Samaiyra.
It's weird but I am scared. What if she questioned me about things I wouldn't be able to answer?
Damn, I am going insane.
I sighed away from my laptop and threw the file I had in my hand. It's indecipherable what I accepted from myself.
Little things infuriated me. This file was supposed to be error free and it wasn't. If I could bring myself to fire everyone from their job and recruit new people. No connection to the past.
I laid my head on the headrest of my chair and looked at the dark ceiling. Samaiyra was fast asleep on the bed. She had waited for me to come to bed and make love to her but ended up asleep. It's hard I am distracted.
Several plans about the marketing people had been pending for so long. I had planned to acquire new lands for the expansion of the factory but there are too many hurdles to put away. Lots of people to meet and talk to. And I was distracted.
The darkness of the ceiling was pushed away suddenly with the yellow light. I looked back to find Samaiyra making her way towards me.
She came up and wrapped her arms around me kissing my neck in urgency.
"Come to bed, I wish to light up your world in the darkness." She whispered in my ear placing a wet kiss on my neck.
She loved me so much and her presence only gave me a sense of belonging. It had been a prolonged loveless life and I appreciated every moment of it.
There was just a small dilemma- lack of spark- The kind to burn me and turn me to ashes.
I loved her and respected her from all of my heart. I stood up and hugged her in instant gratification for being present in my life. I had not given her what she deserved. I should now amend it.
"How about I show you the stars and not the kind in the sky?" I chirped holding her in my arms.
"I would like that." She laughed wrapping her legs around me.
I threw her in the bed playfully and started to undress. She sat up and opened her robe to reveal the red lacy lingerie exposing the skin at suitable niches. She is a goddess with a heart of gold.
"Liked it?" She whispered sexily opening her kegs for me to give the hint of wetness between her legs.
"Loved it, Samy baby." I pounced at her.
We made love until we lost our senses. She fell asleep in my arms. Her beautiful face shimmered in the yellow light. I kissed her head and lay back.
I hope Sanya is joyous too.
