OS:I WANT YOU
I sat in the canteen far away from rishabh.I couldn't help but stare. I wanted him so bad. But he was with her. Her, being my best friend, dipali. It was completely my fault, so I tell myself, no matter how much I would like to blame this all on her, but it didn't feel entirely right to do so. He liked me too, or used to, until dipali came in and snatched him up for herself. I could always tell she liked him too. But not as much as I. I've been in love with him since the day we met. . We became friends quickly, just friends. It was going smooth Up until the day he declared his love for me during lunch in the same canteen at our school, it hasn't been the same between us ever since. I turned him down. I panicked. I didn't know what to do, so instead I ran off in the opposite direction, leaving him at his knees with a bouquet of flowers-- humiliated. I regret that day more and more I think about it. But that was almost a year ago. now rishabh n dipali are together for 4 months now. I couldn't believe it myself
At least rishabh doesn't completely ignore me. I mean, he acknowledges my presence... most of the time.everytime when I hear dipali giggling, it only brings more pain to my heart. It shows me the reality that now rishabh was hers. but still i want him. rishabh and I make eye contact, almost for two long. His eyes look longing, but I'm sure it's really just the look of "being in love".
i looked at him .i could feel his annoyance with dipali.the way she throws herself over him.the pain inside my heart increased ten folds.when she caressed his face.i turned away feeling disgusted.i think she saw me doing it n she got the message.
rishabh quickly stands up from his seat, leaving dipali sitting there, with a confused expression on her face. I look away, trying not to look obvious. But out of the corner of my eye, I see him approaching. ohh really! He hasn't approached me in, I don't know how long. I'm not sure what to think, or what to do. But I can't see in the other direction. Not again. I couldn't do that to him.
"hey madhu"rishabh says. His eyes and warm smile melt my heart.
"Oh, umm. Hey, rishabh" My cheeks felt warm, which could only mean I was blushing.
"How are you?" What is he doing? Starting up a conversation with me? Was he trying to make dipali jealous? Because I know for a fact she cannot stand him talking to me unless she's there with him, and i know she ia always insecure abt him.was it really so?
I'm good," I say. "I guess..."
"Really, madhu how have you been?" Could i tell him how much I was suffering without him?
"Who cares how I feel, what about you? I hurt you and humiliated you. I'm the one to be asking you."
"I care, madhu"
"Why? I'm a terrible person for what I did, and now I have suffer the consequences."
"You are not a terrible person, don't say that." rishabh assures me, placing his warm hand on my bare arm. his feel of me just evoked my hidden feelings .he is not helping me.just deepening the pain of my bruised heart
I hesitated. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"Why do I have reason not to be?"
"Because of what I did--" He cut me off before I could continue.
"Stop saying that! That was the past. I want you now,madhu. I never stopped wanting you!"
The room fell silent. Everyone stared. rishabh had said that much to loudly. I could only imagine the expression on dipali's face now.
Before I could say anything, dipali was already stomping her way over to us.
Her hands were curled into fists. Her face red with anger.
"Did you just SAY what I THINK you said?!" She fumed. He looked scared to answer, because his answer wasn't what she wanted it to be, and we could all bet on that.
"I.. umm. Listen, dipali." She cut him off.
"No! You are not doing this to me! Not to ME!" She yells. "u cannt do this to me again"
"dipali I was abt to speak to u abt this" rishabh said.
"No!! I don't want to hear it! If you want to be with That bitch then, I Am. Done."
And what did she just call me? I thought we were best friends. Oh wait, we stopped being best friends when she stole the guy whom i loved.
Before i could speak speak anything, she storms out of the room, her face the color of a red tomato
There was an awkward silence in the room. No one knew what to say next.
"Well," I began, chuckling a little, "That was something."
"She is something..." He laughed.
"So what now?" I asked hesitantly.
"This." He said, as he reached for my arms and pulled me in. Then he tenderly kissed my lips.i was just drowned in his kiss.i loved the feeling of being with him again n this time forever
