Hello everyone, I haven't done this in a while so hope this is enjoyed. With this short part I am really just resetting the scene and giving an insight to the present state of Michi's minds. Hopefully a more eventful part will follow this, which also will be better written than this first attempt of mine. It was a little difficult getting back into the story after leaving it for so long so please bear with me. Thank you all for reading and the encouragement.đ
Part 17 by B
After hearing that Prachi was attending this party Milind decided he had no choice but to go especially after last time. Milind knew undoubtedly Pooja's intentions were cruel and he had to protect his Prachi. On the other hand Prachi had not decided whether to attend this party or not as she was still recovering from the humiliation from Robbie's party. These types of parties did not entice her even a little but the fact Milind was going had held her attention. Prachi couldn't decide whether seeing Milind and Pooja together would be an overbearingly painful experience or it would prove to her that Milind could never be the man for her. If this is what it took for her heart to understand that friendship was as far as it would go with Milind then maybe she had to face the pain that came with it.
Milind and Prachi had both made up their minds they were going to this party however during the following day at college neither one of them brought up the subject. As evening arrived Prachi reluctantly picked out an outfit, something more modest than last time but still stylish. As Prachi was applying the finishing touches to her makeup and hair her mobile started to ring, as she looked at the screened she wondered why Milind was calling her. "Hello..." She said softly. "Prachi I'm taking you to the party, you are going?" Milind said straight to the point and quite commandingly. "Milind, I'll be fine you need to pick me up, plus they will be waiting for you ..." Prachi replied unsteadily still dazed with Milind's stern tone. "I'm already outside your house, come whenever your ready I'll be waiting." Before Prachi could say anything Milind put the phone down on her.
As Prachi made her way to the outside her house gates she wondered what was wrong with Milind, it had only been a day since they sorted things out so she didn't understand his odd behaviour and she had a feeling this was just the start of it. Though things were sorted out between the two of them, the truth was Prachi was not settled with the way things stood between them. Milind had simply put everything behind them told her to forget and move away from the incident. The incident however meant more to Prachi; it was an enlightenment where she had learnt two important things. One she was deeply in love with Milind, she had come to know him as a charming person who was not at all how she used to perceive him to be. However the second thing she learnt was that Milind didn't love her but rather lusted her. There was an undeniable passion between the two but to Prachi it meant something different than it did to Milind. Thinking about it Prachi started to regret her decision what if things didn't go as she expected them to go? Milind's lust for her couldn't have just disappeared, so what if this was just going to make things harder for her instead of easier? Still pondering whether to turn back around Prachi's eyes met Milind's and then there was no stopping her from walking towards Milind.
Milind's eyes focused upon her, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. Her face was adorned with a cautious smile, her eyes glowing and she was slowly moving towards him. In that moment with his eyes looking straight into hers like her was reading her soul he knew why he loved Prachi. Her beauty did not lie in her make-up or clothes but it was the girl underneath it all that amazed him. But he knew he had to face the truth that he could never be with her. She was a friend, a true friend and one not worth losing. Together they just wouldn't work because in his eyes she was just too good for him and she deserved better. Just like that Milind snapped out this spell cast by Prachi and cleared his voice to break the silence.
