Chapter 20

The next day, Pia woke up before the other two and quickly left. She didn't think she would be able to control her tears if she saw either Maya or Abhay. Upon entering college, she went to one room she knew she would be able to sit in silently and not be bothered; Armaan's room.

As she had suspected, the door was open and there he sat, on the other side of the table. He looked up when he saw a shadow by the door due to the rising sun. He smiled and nodded, welcoming her in.

She simply walked inside and down the aisle towards her seat in the back. She wasn't in the mood of talking or doing anything. She just wanted to distract herself. She looked out the window.

Meanwhile, Armaan glanced up at her. He had thought she would have told Abhay about her feelings and would be happy to know he loves her too. But this behavior of her's surprised him and put him in worry. He decided to ask and help in any way he could. He just couldn't see her sitting like that, looking completely lost and detached from the world.

He got out of his chair, walked down to her, and took a seat right beside her and she didn't even notice anything. She simply stared out. He cleared his throat, in hopes of getting her attention. But nothing, she still sat numb to her surroundings.

Now, his worry reached its peak. He gently placed his hand on her hand, making her shiver and blink back to reality. In the process, a tear drop fell on his hand. He was beyond surprised. She wiped the tear from her eyes away, but wasn't aware of the drop that had fell on Armaan's hand.

She looked at him with a feeble smile. "Sir, when did you come here?"

"Pia, you're crying?! What happened?!" he asked but she shook her head.

"It's nothing. Just dust in eyes. That's all." she replied. He knew she was lying. She had to be. The symptoms: completely lost and not noticing him sit by her, proved this to him.

"Don't lie to me Pia. I'm a psychologist. Catching lies and studying people is my work and I'm very good at it. Tell me, what's wrong. Maybe I can help you."

She shook her ahead again and replied with a cracking voice, trying hard to bite back the tears, "No one can help me."

He understood… he was now sure it had something to do with Abhay. "Did you talk to Abhay? What did he say?"

Abhay… The name made her more depressed. Why had she let herself believe that anyone could ever love her? All the thoughts she had decided to put aside last night came rushing back to her. All the positivity she had managed to gather at night after crying buckets of tears seemed to suddenly vanish in thin air.

She clenched her fists in order to let the pain come there so she wouldn't be able to cry. This is what she did when she felt like crying but didn't want to in front of anyone. She distracted herself by holding onto something tight. As Armaan was still holding her hand, she couldn't move it to hold on to something.

He felt her fists tighten. He looked down at it, back to her and repeated the movement twice before taking her hands in his and making her turn to face him. She broke down, knowing that it was of no use to hide her tears from him. She didn't know why, but she knew she could trust him.

He made soothing sounds and rubbed her hand to quite her down. Between sniffles, she spoke. "Ar-Armaan… Armaan… A…Abha…Abhay doesn't l…love… me...He doesn't…!"

Armaan was stunned hearing this. This was a complete lie. He knew Abhay loved her! Not just from his observation but also because before he had made Pia realize about her love for Abhay, he had talked to Abhay! And Abhay himself had told him how much he loves Pia since a long time now.

She took Armaan by another surprise by hugging him tight as if she was giving him all her pain. She was sharing the pain. He didn't back away. He patted her hair like he was making a baby stop crying.

When he felt like she had cried enough, he pulled her away to face her and cupped her face. "Look at me Pia, who told you that? Did he tell you?"

She shook her head. He waited for a reply that came after couple of seconds. "I heard him… say he loves Maya… to her… he never loved me. I was so stupid to even think he would love me!"

"Stop it Pia, you're getting it all wrong. Listen to me; he does love Maya… but only as a friend! Nothing more!"

She refused to believe that. "I heard him tell her. I know it… he loved her!"

Armaan knew better than to try to make Pia listen to her. If he tried, the only thing he'll get in return is denial. He somehow had to make Abhay and Pia talk to each other and sort out the misunderstanding. He wasn't the main player here. Abhay was… She would only listen to Abhay and he knew it. Nothing he says would make Pia believe him.

He hugged her this time, giving her all the affection she needed. Slowly as minutes passed, she slowed down her crying. Now she only sobbed and hiccupped as she let the tears dry away.

The bell rang. She looked up and thanked him. Even though he didn't say much, she felt much better telling him her problem. He gave her a kind smile and returned to the front of the class, as students started coming in.

Pia wiped her tears away for good. The rest of the day passed sulkily. Abhay tried to grab the sit next to Pia when he walked in. but unluckily for him, another girl took the chance before he could reach. He cursed his destiny for giving him all the unlucky situations at once. Over the day, he tried many times to have her attention when no one was around. But again, his unlucky fate… she was never alone!

He could see the way she was walking. To him, she looked like the living dead. She looked like a soul that was breathing, but with no life or motive to live! His heart ached seeing the sight. What hurt more was that he knew it was all because of him. He grew impatient and tried even harder than he could to talk to her, if that was even possible!

***

Maya did her best to find Pia as well. But Pia had locked herself in a way neither Maya nor Abhay could talk to her! It was all just horrible and nothing was working out! All the prayers from Abhay and Maya seemed to go unheard.

It wasn't only Pia, Abhay, Maya and Armaan who knew about this incident. There was another person, Jeh, who had apparently happened to be standing there when Abhay was running after Pia. He didn't know the whole story then. But he didn't care. All that mattered to him was that Pia was hurt and there was a problem between her and Abhay. This, to him, seemed like the perfect time to strike!

Next update by mid week.. Most probably by Tuesday night... I want to get the sad times over with ASAP 😳 I'm really sorry if this part was sad as well... But here, I mostly only wanted to focus on how a girl feels when she thinks someone doesn't like her... They start getting all sorts of thoughts... I wouldn't know as not speaking from experience but I have seen it a lot around me... Just wanted to focus on that.
