I just couldn't think anything. My mind was blank. First thing, I can't handle crying person. And he is my bestfriend whom I always saw laughing carelessly on every situation. I needed to keep my mind steady first. So, I pat on his back as he hugging me tightly. I tried to console him saying, “You might have misunderstand something. You just need to get straight to her and confront her. ask her directly. it might be just some idiotic misunderstanding and nothing else. She can explain herself so, we don't have to jump on any conclusions right now. The things might not like that as you seen… there must be reason.”
He grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes. I saw his face first time since he walk through that door today. He had tears filled in his eyes. Betrayal and disappointment was spread on his face. And still he was looking Cute and innocent. How? How someone can look this beautiful in even situations like this, how? Why he is so lovely? I was thinking myself.
I got back with his words, “Why always we have to think positive? she is not that nice. Why always I have to take efforts. she didn't even care.” I tried to make him calm, I said , “Everything will be fine, but give it some time. okay.” He said in agony, “Nothing will be ok. I am the fool who thought about true love. I am the idiot who thought someone might be with me for lifelong. someone would love me like I do, with whole heart.”
I didn't know what to say, so the place filled with silence. few minutes gone like that, then he asked me," Hey! can I stay for a night today?" There was no reason to not let him stay. but this was first time he requested to stay, cause every time no matter how late it was he never stayed. I laid spare cotton bed for him on floor. He didn't said anything, just got into bed and fall asleep. I guess he was truly tired both mentally and physically. I scrowled into my bed. I still can't sleep. I was thinking, “How idiot and senseless Uktti can be! How she even do something like that to Aniket. How she even think about someone else when she already had him besides her!" I got angry on her for cheating on him, for hurting him. I looked towards Aniket, his back was towards me. He was sleeping like baby. and then he turned towards my direction. His hair was waving along with fan's air. And his sleeping face looked so calm and innocent. i just couldn't take my eyes off from his face. and I didn't even realized when I leave my bed and came near him. I brush my hand through his hair and said, “Who said No-One likes you. Ask me, I love you more than anything. More than anyone. Just ask once to me…” and i kissed his forehead. I felt as I am levitating.
I got into my sense and I got up and turn to return to my bed. But my hand was grabbed. I stand there like a statue. He got up and I didn't got a courage to turn towards him. He said, “Is it true ? what just you said.” I lost strength in my lags. I sat down in front of him with my head down. I said, “I am sorry. I am truly sorry. Please let me explain. I can explain. I know you think me as just friend. and it's just my feelings so you don't even have to bother. can you just forget whatever I said. you don't have to think about it. Please I am sorry-”
He cut me in-between my blabbering and said, “Hey look at me.” At this time my eyes are already filled with tears. then he said it a little louder, “Hey I just asked you to look at me.” I looked into his eyes while crying. He spread his hands and I pushed myself into his arms. He said, “ I also loved you. When we first met, since that day I liked you. But you said you are not interested in love stuff. so I didn't wanted to ruin our friendship by asking you out. I thought if I confess my feelings I might loose you.” I said, ” I also thought the same thing, and didn't wanted to ruin what we have. But now let me say it again, I love you. I love you so much." he laughed and said, “Yes, I love you too. I love you thousand times.”
Suddenly we heard a doorbell ring. I didn't wanted to leave him to go and open door. I wanted to stay in his arms a bit more. But the bell ring again. By annoyance and irritation of the bell, I opened my eyes.
But when I opened my eyes, I was in my bed, sleeping and there is no-one in the room. I mean it was just a dream. Maybe I fall asleep while looking photos. Doorbell rang again. I looked at clock, it's 11:45 pm. In a disappointment and half sleep I just walk towards the door. I looked through keyhole and my heart dropped a beat. Aniket was standing outside. The sound of my heartbeat I can hear with my ears. that loud they ware. With shaky hands I opened the door. Aniket came inside, he got the water bottle from fridge and drunk it and sign me to sit beside him. I was in my confuse state. So he pulled me by hand and force to sit on bed. He came little close and said, “Hay you won't believe what happen today. I am so happy. I proposed Uktti and she said ‘Yes’. We will get married soon meri jann. Your friend found his soulmate man… it's party time. I wanted to share this thing with you first so, I just couldn't stop myself till the morning…" He was all smiles and laughs and I just couldn't wrap my head around the situation. I listen him bragging about, how did he proposed and how she reacts. About his wedding plans… I heard everything with a fake smile on my face. I didn't said a word, I was totally blank. somewhere around 12:30 am he realized, it's to late. so he got up to leave. I closed the door behind him. And pushed myself into bed. I sunk my face in cushion. I wanted to sleep as soon as possible.
Because, I Think my dreams are way better than the reality…
