Siyali's POV:
How can I be so stupid? Why am I so mean to him? What should I do now? He is not even listening. I have to apologise.
Siyali was moving slowly through the corridor. Sid wasn't talking to her. It was the third day and the longest they hadn't spoken. Siyali had tried several time to speak to him but he just walked away leaving her feeling guilty.
It was all my mistake. How could I blame him without knowing the truth? I've been blaming him all along for all my problems, when all he did was help me.
She stopped in front of her class and peeped it to see Sid sitting all alone, studying. She entered the room with hesitation. Sid looked at her but turned his gaze quickly on his book. Siyali sat beside him. He never looked up. Sid was behaving differently these days too. He had suddenly become too serious.
Siyali: Sid?
Sid: What?
Siyali: I have been trying to talk to you for a very long time. Sid I am really very sorry.
Sid: (no reply)
Siyali: I shouldn't have blamed you. I'm sorry. I will never blame you for anything in future. Please forgive me.
Sid still didn't reply. Siyali slowly touched his hand.
Siyali: Sid please say something. I'm sorry.
Sid: Please go if you're done.
Siyali: Sid I've been trying to apologise for a very long time. Why are you behaving like this?
Sid: I can behave the way I want. After all I am so bad, right?
Siyali: Sid I...
Sid: Please shut up! Do you have any idea how much you hurt me that day? Why do you blame me for everything? What have I done?
Siyali: Sid please forget everything. I am sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. I was just angry.
Sid: Do you think it's so easy to forget? Siyali, I always thought you were special. But then you go ahead and say all those things. You think I don't have a heart... Well, I don't want one. Because it hurts a lot when the person you care about tells you that you are the worst person alive. I am sorry Siyali that I ever liked you! I HATE YOU!
Sid leaves from the classroom. Siyali slowly sat down, analysing every word he said.
I am sorry Siyali that I ever liked you. He liked me?
Tears were flowing out of her eyes. She was very good at controlling her emotions. But today she couldn't control her tears. She just cried, cried her heart out.
Why do you like me Sid? I was always so rude to you. I don't deserve your care. I am sorry, I was so blind that I couldn't see this side of yours.
**********************************************************************************************************
It was 9:30 PM. All the girls were already in the dorm, except Siyali. She was allowed to stay out until 10 and today she just had to take advantage of this. She was kneeling down near Maa's burial place and crying.
I made a mistake Maa. He won't even talk to me. I always thought he was wrong but I was wrong this time.
Sid was heading toward his dorm room when she saw Siyali kneeling down. He was already feeling bad for shouting at her.
I think I said too much.
Thinking this he made his way towards her. She was crying. He touched her shoulders lightly. She looked up. Before Sid could realise, Siyali was hugging him. It was not like the previous one. It was very much intentional and tight. She held him like she would never let him go. She was crying. Sid couldn't help but hug her back. He didn't want to let her go.
Siyali: Sid... I am sorry..
Sid: Sshhh... Its ok. Don't cry... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...
Siyali suddenly broke the hug and placed her finger on his lips, like he did, thrice.
Siyali: I am sorry Sid. Please don't hate me.
Sid removed her hand and held it tightly.
Sid: (smiing) I don't hate you Siyali. I can never hate you.
Sid softly wiped away her tears. He kissed her forehead lightly. They hugged again.
