Hie!
This is my first Roshni and Nikhil OS. I really love them together and hope they end up together.
If you found fault I am sorry. But I'll try to improve next time :)
Best friends for life' The words played over in her mind again and again like an old record. Sitting beside the window in her dark room, she felt so cold and all alone. Nothing seemed right. Nothing seemed good. There was a pain somewhere within her and she could not point out to where it was.
She hugged her self tightly and rested her chin on her knees as she bit her lips, clenched her eyes shut and cried quietly to herself.
She remembered their last encounter.
You don't feel anything?'
No! I don't feel anything' she had said avoiding looking into his eyes.
Look at me and say it Roshni' he had said, his voice masking the hurt.
She took a deep breath met his eyes and said coldly.
No, I don't feel anything for you Nikhil, will that do?'
His hands dropped down from her shoulders and she felt very unprotected for a moment.
I...am sorry' he said his voice barely audible.
I don't have any feelings for you. DO you get that, can't you see I like Gauti?' she had practically screamt on his face.
He had staggered millions of steps away from her and departed into the dark never to come back again.
Roshni started crying even harder as she thought of the way she had crushed his heart and left him broken. The way he had looked at her when she had told him about her feelings for Gauti.
He gave her such a woeful look that it had wrenched her heart.
I am sorry Nikhil' she said crying and clenching her t-shirt hard until her knuckles turned white and her sobs grew louder.
I had to do it. I cannot have you involved in all of this. Being with me means getting you into trouble too, and I don't want that to happen'
Roshni stared at the lock screen of her I-Phone. It was a picture of Nikhil smiling and winking at her
I cannot tell you how I feel, or how I have probably felt about you ever since that day you moved into the neighbourhood.' She said sobbing quietly.
She stared at his number and wanted to dial his number immediately and tell him the truth.
Tell him that, she loved him unconditionally, that she had always loved him and in order to fulfil her mission and keep him safe.
But that burning desire to touch him once and tell him about her feelings were tormenting her and preventing her from focussing on her mission.
Nikhil.
The only thing static in her life after Neha Di. His presence in her life mattered very much to her. His every little opinion counted. From the way that his laugh made crinkles beside his eyes or to the way his dimples stayed embedded in his smile.
The way he made her feel better after every worse day, the way they counted stars on the roof of his terrace, or the way he made hot chocolate for her, every time she didn't do well in the exams.
The little bits of everything in their lives kept her going after Neha Di's death.
Her heart would start beating faster everytime he was around and butterflies would flutter in her stomach just like it happened in those cheesey and sappy novels, that her sister used to read.
Chotu! One day it will happen to you too!; she had said.
Roshni had laughed and rolled her eyes at her sister back then. But never had she thought that she would find love in her flirt and playboy best-friend.
I love you too much Nikhil. More than you could ever imagine and to keep you safe, I wouldn't hesitate to do just about anything' Roshni whispered as she held her phone against her heart and lay down on the cold floor, crying herself to sleep.
I hope you liked it :)
