As seeing Aaditya there, I had many questions for Bharti. I pulled her a bit away from where Aaditya was standing. I asked her devastatingly, “what I have done wrong with her? what kind of revenge she is taking on me?” As she know everything about me and Aaditya's friendship and my stupid actions, as well as his efforts to just staying my friend (yes! best friend thing, they know everything.)
She said, “He just wanted to meet you last time and say proper good bye, even after 2 years.” I said, “Is he in his correct mind… Is he sure that he is not in love with me or anything…” Bharti smiled at me, “See, you also will agree that friend like him is hard to find, and you only told us ‘How much of good guy he is.’ and for he having feelings for you or not, that question, only he can answer. I felt pity for him as we stayed in contact even after you abended him, but he missed you and I felt genuinety of that, so I just tried to help him a bit. Please don't get angry on me."
Well what done is done, now there won't change anything even if I scold her, it will just gonna make things more awkward. So I decided to let it go. I took a deep breath. Harshad, Aaditya, Bharti we all got together. I introduce them to each other and we started our track.
In midway as our tracking speed defer, I noticed Bharti and Harshad had gone bit away from us. And Aaditya and I stayed behind conveniently. We were walking in silence. No-one talking a single word. After few awkward silent minutes, I asked Aaditya just to start conversation, “So how did you even convinced her to bring you along? Is her boyfriend really did canceled?” He smirked and said, “What do you think?” I was dumbfounded, I knew him for 7 years. He can't do anything like that. I said, “So why did you wanted to meet and what's all about ‘wanted to say Goodbye properly’ thing…” He replied looking at me, “A day before you were my best buddy and a next day you said not to talk to you anymore. How could a normal human brain process that… and first I thought, I can handle that but then weeks passed and I started to missing you. I wanted to share things with you, I wanted to talk with you about what's going on in my life as we used to do. But you were not there… I was there when you needed me, But when I was in bad place, you were not there… I was all alone and felt betrayed… First I wanted to meet you and tell you 'how bad as a person and friend you are and tont you.’ But then as more days passed I started missing you again.. I missed you a lot and wanted to just meet you once." I was stunned, did my stupid actions affected someone this much and why? I just Bluntly asked him, “Aaditya, are you 100% sure, you are not in love with me?”
