This is a very very short OS on the current track. I wanted the scene which ended on Friday to be continued like this somehow..
"What do I mean to you Sharon?"
This one question struck so hard that she was unable to move an inch from where she was standing. "What does he mean to me?" she thought to herself expecting an answer. She knew this was coming and she had to face Swayam now. She so wanted to run away from this situation. "Why at all did I come here?" she cursed herself. She just realized few days back that what she feels for him is beyond friendship. It was something above giggling together, spending time with each other, dancing with each other and caring for the other person. She was facing all these feelings for the first time! She didn't know what name should be given to those feelings. Were these the same things Swayam felt for her? Or is feeling about her?
She came out of her thoughts when she realized Swayam was looking at her waiting for her reply. "Swayam the point is.." she was interrupted by him. "No Sharon! I don't want to listen to anything. Just answer my question. Why can't you promise me to choose your best friend? Why the hell are you stuck up between choosing him and me? Who am I to you?" he caught her arms and shook her as if this action would bring out the answer he was looking for. "We're friends" she blurted out. He loosened his grip on her and took a step back. "Friends?" he thought for himself. "She treats me as a friend?" he asked his inner conscience. Though he promised her he would never make her uncomfortable after their breakup, though he laughed, joked and pretended to be happy around her, it still hurt him. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second whenever she was around him he always wished he could have her by his side. Not as a friend but as the love of his life. He wanted to take care of her, buy her gifts, take her for a date, dance with her like it was their last dance. drop her home, pick her up the next morning and spend the entire night dreaming about her! But destiny had something else in store for him. When she cared for him, when she inquired about him and his relation with his father, when she was worried for him, when she cheered him he thought maybe maybe she is reciprocating his feelings. But no he was wrong. He was her friend! He grinned and looked at her. Right now all that was important to him was to move her out of the dilemma of choosing him or Rey now that he knew he doesn't matter to her as how she does to him.
She hit her head virtually a 100 times before he grinned. Why at all did she have to day this? She knew she was hurting him. She so wanted to hug him tight and say "Don't worry. Everything will be alright!" but she couldn't. An invisible barrier was stopping her from doing this. But why did she have to lie to him?
"Friends?" he said which made her come out of her thoughts. "Friends" she acknowledged trying hard to mask her emotions. "In that case Sharon, Rey is your best friend! Which means he is supposed to be more important than me. Right?"
"Now where did that come from?" she retorted angrily.
"It's not that Swayam. Please understand!" she said trying to suppress her anger.
"I don't understand Sharon! I really don't understand! If I'm your friend and Rey your best friend then why are you so adamant on not promising me to stay away from me? It should be easy!"
"NO! Its not that easy."
"Sharon please! Please promise me that you'll take your best friend's side. Please"
"That means staying away from you. Right?"
It was hard for him to answer. The mere thought of it was disturbing him but he had to do this for her, for Rey.
He turned the other side and said "Yes"
There was a silence for few seconds after which Sharon asked "Is it easy for you to stay away from me?"
"Hell NO!" he wanted to shout out aloud but he couldn't. He couldn't answer her question. She would immediately catch him if he lied. So he remained silent.
"Answer me Swayam!" she turned him towards herself and forced him to look into her eyes. She was demanding an answer from him. Swayam couldn't escape now.
"No it isn't! Its very difficult for me to stay away from you Sharon." he now had tears in his eyes. "I've been lying to myself since days that I'm happy without you, that I'm happy being your friend, that I'm dancing with you only as your dance partner, that I'm worried about you only as a friend. But I'm not! I'm not happy Sharon. I'm missing you so bad! I want you by my side so bad Sharon that it hurts. It really hurts." his voice choked.
Sharon had tears in her eyes. "Why do I hurt him always?" she thought to herself. She couldn't stop herself anymore and hugged him tight and started sobbing. Swayam was taken aback by this reaction.
"I'm sorry Swayam!" she was still sobbing
"I'm sorry for all the pain I've given you. You are not my friend. You and I know it pretty well that we can never be friends. I can't chose Rey always. I don't want to stay away from you."
Swayam pulled her form the hug but she pushed his hand and again fell on his chest crying.
"Sharon Sharon Sharon.." he called out to bring her back to senses. "Look at me" he said and lifted her head. He cupped her face in his hands and said "Why don't you tell me what I've been waiting for since so long?" he smiled while a lone tear escaped from his eyes.
Sharon blushed on hearing this and hit him playfully. "I want that day to be special. Very special. It will be the most memorable day of our lives" she said and ran away from there leaving Swayam smiling and content.
I know the ending is umm not good. But I just wanted to write an OS this weekend on the current situation and this is how it turned out to be 😕
