Chapter 5- Aakash and Asha" What you want me to talk to him. Face off. Are you girls ready to watch fighting. Not by words. By the way things are we might man handle each other" told Aakash " Ok go manhandle Rahul, give him some punches, let him push you too, let him give you some punches too. Go break Aakash. It doesn't matter whether Neha has to choose between you and Rahul or me and Priya have to choose between you and Rahul " retorted Asha" Asha I didn't mean it that way. See if we come face to face it is going to be really ugly" " We are ready to face the ugliness Aakash. Neha, Priya and Myself have taken the decision. It is better we face the ugliness and get over it than discuss whether you were right or he is right. All of us have made mistakes. It was our mistake to suggest to you to go and speak to Rahul without knowing your outspoken nature. Mridul would have been a better candidate as he is sensitive. Rahul needs a guy talk, not a mollycoddle girl talk" " And I was wrong in telling him during exams" said Aakash in low voice " Exactly so you realize it. So have some patience. Once we are back to college we will have a get together at Neha's place along with Priya and Mridul to understand what you spoke and what he felt. Then we will see where all you went wrong. What all words of yours might have hurt him. Yes me and Neha know what you spoke. But it doesn't harm if we go over it once again. Then we will tell you how to explain your point correctly so that the correct meaning goes around" told Asha" So you are going to give a chit to me on what I should talk and what I should not. Then you are telling direct talk" Aakash felt snubbed" We are not giving you chit. For God's sake keep your male ego at back burner. It is not about you and him alone. You need to understand Neha is the most impacted party between you and if you don't realize it yet me and Priya are also affected to great extend" Asha's eyes were teary" Asha please, I understand yaar, I understand I have hurt you all. I agree if he comes I will come for the talk. And believe me this time I will follow your directions. Nothing, nothing additional or not doing anything to prove smart. But please don't cry. If one of you cries it hurts me also yaar" She slapped his shoulder mockingly. Yes they fought, shouted but then they understood each other. It was easy to fight and patch up with Aakash. Wish Rahul was the same way thought Asha.
