I was utterly shocked by the way he embraced me. And his behaviour is really odd to me lately. I thought he was sorry about being rude to me, But there’s something I’m missing.
Maybe I’m overthinking like always I am!
He’s house is really beautiful, that’s the best place I have ever seen here. It must be special to him. And the backyard Oh my God!! it’s a beach house, I have never thought it’ll be a beach house, I mean you couldn’t see a single thing from the front side apart from the tress and bird chirpings.
I looked at him gratefully and he smiled, Is he really that boy who’s love to argue with me on every single thing.
I removed my sandals and placed my feet on the sand ohhhh it feels so good! I’ve missed you so much! Yes I’m an ocean and the beach girl and if it’s not possible then I’ll prefer the mountains with a small house and when I’ll open my window in there either I’ll get to see the seashore or the cold breeze of Himalayas. That’s it, but now It’s inhumanly heaven in here.
“ Thank you,” I said to him thankfully, he was watching me intently. I don’t know how he knew about me loving this place but whatever is that; I’m really thankful for that.
“ I am glad you like that, come on, now we have plenty of time here, There’s someone waiting for you”
Waiting for me who?
We entered the house and then I got more impressed by him. I know he loves architecture thing but this house is really beautiful and it has a home thing in it, I can feel that in my heart.
“ You like it,” He noticed me staring at the things.
“ I love it” I really do!
“ I’m glad about that,” He said and disappeared somewhere straight.
I gave myself time to notice everything, there was a picture of him as a child with his dad and one woman. I guess she’s his mother.
“ Hey Ishita” I placed a picture on the table and turned around.
“ Hi Mr. Nicole’s, Um__I Didn’t know you were here!” I stammered.
He was in his kitchen gown and spatula was in his hands.
“ Yeah?.. Anyway! come, I need your help I hope you can cook! And Yes! you can call me Ryan in here! He announced and returned without my answer.
I sighed and follow him. Wow!! It’s the kitchen! And he’s cooking something, Actually stuck with something. Ethan was there too busy with his phone. He’s so weird sometimes!!
“ See I was trying to make bhajis But I don’t know the concentration, thank god you are here!” I laughed at him, He looks so tensed, I guess, I can help with that.
“ Yes, I know how to make them, You like Indian food”? I asked and take a glance at what mess he's made.
“ I loved them all the time,” He said looking pleased with himself.
After an hour I felt light with both of them, Ethan was quiet than usual, but I shrugged that thought. He may have his personal reasons.
The food was perfect. I can’t believe Mr. Nicole’s made those items.
“ Want to come to shore,” Ethan asked. It was already an evening and everything looks so perfect in here, So I don’t mind going back there again.
I nod my head and we walked there.
What if Rishabh confessed his feelings to me earlier! What if?? My thoughts take there place again.
I sat on the sand it feels so beautiful and silent. And to my surprise, Ethan takes his seat beside me.
“ I can’t believe you prefer sitting on the sand!” I looked at him and smile.
“ Why? Is that wrong being a normal man?” He looks amused by my question. I didn’t say anything to him and stared at the Ocean waves.
“ You know, It’s so difficult to deal with this life,” I said that out loud.
“ Why would you say that? There are just some things in our life difficult to deal with” He can’t understand the thing, what I've been through.
“ Tell me!!” He insists when I don’t say anything, and then I start, I am not willing to look into his eyes. I know they are boring through me.
“ As you know Navin called me today”,...,Hnn he nods in acknowledgment. I took a deep breath. “ He said that Rishabh was in love with me but he never confessed that he has any feelings for me,” It feels so painful to think about that with the possibilities. It feels like he has sacrificed his whole life and dreams for my useless life.
As if Ethan can sense my pain, He placed his hand around mine.
“ What you would have said If he would have confessed” That’s what I was thinking this whole time.
“ I don’t know, We didn’t have those vibes together, not from my side at least. I never noticed he has something for me and he hasn’t said anything either.”
“ Ishita, I would have done the same thing if I was there in his place, Don’t blame yourself for that, there’s nothing you could do” I closed my eyes. I hope his words will help me to understand that situation, And he’s not giving me any pitty. I smile at him and nod.
I need to overcome from this thing.
Suddenly something hit me and I changed the topic.
“ Tell me about you and rick” I smirked
“ What about me and Rick?” He narrowed his eyes to me and I decided to play with him for some time.
“ Oh come on! I know you both shared history together, I didn’t know you were with him!” I tried to be serious. He gasped with wide eyes,
“ I swear, I’ll break that obnoxious face of him. He told you that” He’s really serious now.
“Nope, It was just guessing by seeing both of you and your chemistry of course ” I can’t help and laughed, His face was really priceless.
“ No! Oh God! My ex was with him that’s what we have a history not as you think and....He stopped mid-sentence while I was laughing hilariously.
“ You...played with me, I swear...” He yelled as he understands my motive, Before he could say anything I got up and ran back to the house, laughing. He was yelling somewhere from behind me. I wished I could have snapped that face of him on my phone.
