Stuck In the Library
She sat on the chair, sighing heavily.
"I am an adopted child Arnav" she shut her eyes,letting the tears flow through her cheeks. He looked at her, widening his eyes in shock.
"It was my mom's birthday last night. My dad adopted me when I was 8 years old. He took me as a gift on Mom's birthday. She happily accepted me and I was given a family, a father, a mother, an elder sister and a buaji. Everything was going good, we all were a happy family. But dad used to give me an extra attention, and mom thought Payal was being neglected. She was worried and I was immediately sent to the boarding. I met Lavanya, La for short, in the boarding school. Dad and Payal would visit me every 3 months, but mom never came.
I came home after completing my schooling. I was hoping things would change between me and mom, but I was wrong, she was still the same. 6 months later, dad's friend and his family came to see Payal for their son, they chose me instead. And that was it. Mom couldn't take it anymore. She asked Dad to make a choice, either me or them. Dad didn't knew what to say, and mom thought he chose me over them. She, along with Payal, left for India. Dad pleaded for her to not leave, stay back, but it was too late, she was gone.
After that, Dad became weak, he couldn't concentrate on his work, on his health. Few months later, he decided to bring them back.
He promisd me that he will get them back and we will be a happy family again." she paused for a moment while Arnav looked on.
"And am still waiting for his promise to be fulfilled." she looked at Arnav, while he looked confused.
"He never came back Arnav, he never did" she closed her eyes, sighing.
Silence crept in between the two for a moment.
"Um...am sorry, I don't talk about this with anyone." she wiped her eyes,
"Ssh..why are you being sorry? I am sorry, for making you relive that pain" he knelt before her, cupping her face.
"We are not going to talk about this again, EVER, okay?" he nodded looking in to her eyes which turned red dude to her sobs.
"And I promise to replace all your pain and sorrows with love and joy" he smiled at her.
"I'm scared of promises" she choked.
"Don't be, because I know how to keep promises" he assuringly nodded.
"Are you always this sweet?" she sniffed.
"Nah, I only get sweet when you are concerned." he stroked her cheek with his thumb.
"Ahan! Should I take this as a privilege?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Of course you can", he winked.
"You are a nice guy Arnav" she slightly smiled holding his hand.
He leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on her forehead while she closed her eyes and relished the moment.

"God! It was such a b.o.r.i.n.g. day" La dropped herself on the bed.
"Not for me" Khushi animatedly smiled at La.
"Why? Did you and Arnav play football again? Or was it basketball this time" La remarked sarcastically.
"I told him everything" she ignored La's sarcasm.
"Everything?" La frowned.
"Yes, everything" she grinned.
"You mean to say you told Arnav about your feelings for him?" La jumped up excitedly.
"Feelings? What feelings?" Khushi looked on confused.
"Hold on! You said you told him everything, what did you tell him?" La raised an eyebrow.
"About my past, my childhood?" Khushi shrugged.
"Oh that..I thought... Anyways, I'll go change" la got up from the bed trying to escape the situation.
"No, wait! What did you think?" Khushi pulled La.
"Nothing K" La shook her head.
"La..?" Khushi tilted her head sideways, asking for an explanation.
La sighed heavily before speaking. "You don't know what I was saying, do you?"
"No..?" Khushi shrugged.
"You say you have no idea about your feelings for him, right?" La tilted her head forward.
"What feelings? I told you already, we're just good friends" Khushi nodded.
"Oh come on K! Please, for heaven's sake PLEASE, keep me away from that "we're just good friends" crap. I am tired of it" La screamed in anger.
"But it is the fact" Khushi murmured.
"Fact? Do you really think this is the fact?" La looked at her, annoyed.
"Well the fact is, that you, don't have the guts to accept the reality!" La maintained her tone. while K remained quite.
La paused for a moment before continuing.
"So you say, that you guys, are just good friends, eh?" La looked at a confused Khushi.
"Okay then, lets put 2 and 2 together and see if it makes 4" La clasped her hands sarcastically.
"You both get stuck in the library, and are forced to spend a day together because you have no other option. In the time span, you both become friends, no wait, not just friends but "good friends"" La stressed on the last part.
She continued, "Then, you both bluff your best friends to bunk the lecture, and do what? Yes, play football" La animatedly explained everything.
"You guys share some intimate moments between the game, and then hangout together over a cup of coffee. He drops you home, and you don't feel like saying a 'bye' to him. Then, you end up at his place, in the midnight, all drunk and high on alcohol. You both sleep together on the same bed. Aww! How cute!" La sarcastically awed at Khushi.
"He makes you breakfast, and gets upset coz you didn't share your 'pain' with him. Poor guy!" La pouted before continuing.
" Then you decide to tell him everything coz you cannot live without talking to him. And voila, everything gets normal between you two!" La grinned.
"You forget the world when you are with him and you think only about him when he is not around. You feel comfortable with him, and you get upset when he isn't talking to you. You get worried for him. Remember the coffee incident.
When NK accidentally spill lukewarm coffee on Arnav's wrist and you became paranoid. You screamed at NK for being so careless and you rushed Arnav to the hospital. I mean, that wasn't even serious, but you were a scene to watch. You were so panicked and worried, and it was only after Arnav told that he is fine, you got back to your normal self." La sat on the bed.
"I mean, the same girl who wouldn't think twice before spilling hot coffee on his face, became so paranoid when someone spilled a lukewarm coffee on him." La looked at Khushi, with a stern smile.
"And after putting 2 and 2 together, i doubt it is making 4. Grow up Khushi, its high time you start accepting your feelings for him!" La shook her head and walked away.
