Perfect Love (TayNew)

46. Sincere Apology and Punishment

*Third Person's POV*

After lunch, New sat leaning on the tree and Gun sat beside him in the park.

"The money you gave Tay... Was it very important to you?" Gun asked slowly.

"More than important... it was something I couldn't touch..." New said.

"Sorry... I didn't come to university because of something like that." New said rubbing his neck.

"No... I was worried... I am glad you are back." Gun said with a smile.

At night Tay opened the door when someone knocked on it.

"Gun?" Tay said.

"The key to your room... New wanted me to return it." Gun said showing the key in his hand.

"Why are you returning it? I didn't give it to you." Tay said.

"Don't make it difficult Tay. Just take it. New doesn't want any problems with you." Gun said.

"That money was something important to him which he couldn't even touch... but you made him do something like that..." Gun said slowly.

"But even after everything he isn't angry with you... he just thinks it's better to stay as strangers." Gun said and Tay took the key slowly.

"If you don't know how to solve the problem Tay... stay away from him... you are only hurting him." Gun said and left and Tay looked at the key in his hand.

The next morning there was a sudden meeting in the university assembly and everyone was asking each other why the meeting was held so suddenly. Tay, Off and Earth were standing on the stage and the students assembled in front of the stage in rows.

"Hello, students from all faculties." Tay said on the stage speaking into the mic.

"I know it's a sudden meeting but I have something important to say." Tay said slowly.

"I had a fight with my friend and I am in the wrong. I said something hurting to that important friend of mine. I think you all know who that friend is..." 

"Everyone is commenting on Freedom and other pages about that important friend of mine. Please stop that... he is really my friend and I also feel hurt reading that." Tay said looking at New who was standing in the row.

"I apologize for hurting anyone of you. Please don't hurt my friend." Tay said and everyone was shocked with Tay's behavior and words for the first time who was apologizing to them.

Everyone was in awe of Tay and also felt sad looking at him feeling down.

"You didn't hurt any of us, Tay." A student said.

"Yeah. Don't apologize." Another student said.

Tay smiled a bit hearing the response from the students and then said looking at New "I was in the wrong New. You are the one I have to apologize to the most... really sorry, New."

Everyone looked at New and New was feeling tensed with all the stares from everyone. New thought why he became the center of the stares from everyone and he felt like he was the one who made a mistake so everyone was looking at him like that.

"What is this? It's like I am the one who was at fault and everyone is staring at me... I thought you wanted to stay as strangers... Why are you doing this Tay? What do you want from me?" New thought feeling uncomfortable with all the stares around him and looked down to avoid the stares.
