Sharav Ahuja

It's been days since I talked to my choco. Two weeks and seven days to be exact. My hands itch to call her. To listen to her voice, to her blabbering. I've become the same old Sharav again. The one who distances himself from everyone. Navya was my strength — the strength to face anything. But now without her — her being my side, I couldn't talk to anyone.

And I can even say she's my weakness — a weakness which could rip my heart. The reason I left her was, I didn't want her to remember her past — a past which is full of her cries and nightmares. If she's with me, all she could think would be my so-called parents' torture. She'll fear me — an emotion which I don't want her to witness when she's with me when all I want her to feel safe with me. Too bad, but the damage is done already. 

It's for our best — mainly it's for her. I've planned so many things for her birthday. Thought of baking a cake for her. Celebrating it with her loved ones. Gifting her the picture I drew — the portrait of her. Yes! I draw portraits. During childhood, I used to draw whichever found my likeness. Helping myself, I started mastering the field. Then entering the business field, I completely lost the time to sketch. 

But for her I did! She did bring out my old self, along with the old self she brought back my sketching skills too. All these weeks of not seeing her, I kept looking at the portrait I drew, 'cause she smiles in that — a smile which I wanted to give her. But in reality — I was hurting her, making her do the opposite of smile. 

I made her cry! Fucking made her cry!

Sighing I faced palmed. I heard my phone ringing. It's my family who's calling me. I kept ignoring the calls and messages from my family. I know they'll ask about Navya and me. What will I answer them, when I couldn't answer the girl I love.  

The girl I what?

I love her? 

Do I freaking love her? 

The fuck! Of course, I love her!

You're such a dumbass, you know that right?  my subconscious hissed at me. 

Now it's not the time, I don't have the time to argue with you, I snapped back.

All this while, I've been in love with her. I should have known it when I couldn't sleep without hearing her voice or seeing her face. God! I must have known that I love her when her tears broke my heart. Shit! Man! I must have known I loved her when her smile slash giggles slash laughter made my heart skip a beat! 

I pulled my hair in frustration. Should I go tell her that I love her? But will she accept me knowing that I broke her heart in the first place! She's sweet enough to forgive me, 'cause that crazy girl loves me which will be enough for her to forgive me. 

No, I won't tell her now! I don't want her to forgive me because I love her. Instead, to forgive me when she's good enough to accept my apology. It'll be a hell of a lot of work to convince my choco. 

My Choco!

It feels so right to call her! Now I know how Viren and Daksh would have felt when they kept the nicknames for my sisters — happy pill and my moon. Damn, I'm turning a cheesy guy like them. Tomorrow is my choco's birthday, I'll start asking forgiveness from tomorrow. For now, I'll go start preparing for her birthday.
