Arjun said, "I love you,"
Kamiya turned immediately as she is not expecting this. Arjun who actualize his words is also shocked at his words and he doesn't know what to do?
"What?" Kamiya is astounded as she is not trusting her ears.
"That.... That.... What I am trying to say is......... Yeah, actually that day you said that to your friend right. Will you say this to... " Kamiya cuts him off, "Say this to?"
"Say this... Say this to your male friends too," Arjun stammered.
"Maybe, Why are you asking me this? Are you doubting me again?" Kamiya glared at him.
" No, No. I am not, " He said with a scared expression.
Kamiya thought for some time while trying to read his eyes, then something struck her, "Are you jealous? Arjun,"
"I am not. Why I need to be jealous?" Arjun said without making eye contact with her.
"Oh...... Love is magic, Arjun. Love shows different emotions in different situations, Arjun. I can say this to my parents, friends, or anybody, but that won't compete with the words which I will say to my life partner.
It doesn't mean that I won't love these people. I love them too, but this is something that is drastically different from that feeling. We can't explain this feeling. We won't be prepared for this.
It will happen in our life without our knowledge. If we are with that person, then we will speak the words which are from the heart not from the mind," Kamiya smiled while looking at the beautiful lake.
" Hmmm... You are speaking like an experienced person," Arjun teased her.
" Maybe," She replied.
" Liar," Arjun said and they both smiled at each other.
" Did you had any relationship before marriage?" Kamiya asked him with a questioning look, but inside she is somewhat scared of his answer.
" If I have means what you will do?" Arjun asked.
" Mr. Arjun there is no place for having and all. Ok. I am not a fool. If you have feelings for someone, then why are you going to accept the marriage? I just asked you to know that you had any relationship in the past," Kamiya smirked.
" Seriously, I have feelings for my childhood love when that marriage arrangements were happening. Since I don't know about her whereabouts, I accepted that marriage. Recently I came to know that she is also married. What to do? It's all fate," Arjun said this to know about her expression as Kamiya doesn't know that she is the same person he is talking about.
"Oh. Since she was married already, you thought to give this marriage a chance right," Kamiya told without making eye contact with him. She knew this was normal nowadays, but it hurts. She can't even imagine her Arjun with another girl. Anyway, she needs to accept his past, She is telling this to console herself.
" No, it just happened. As you said I can't explain this, but seriously, I want to give this relation a chance," Arjun smiled while looking at her.
Kamiya also looked at him with a smile. They are trying to convey their feelings through the eyes.
After a few minutes, Arjun's phone rang and they broke their eye contact. Kamiya turned to enjoy the view with a contented smile. Arjun attended Dharani's call and said that they are already on the way home.
After he disconnected the call, Kamiya looked at Arjun and they both laughed at the same time. They started and reach home at 1:30 am.
When he opened the door with the spare key, Dharani is sleeping on the hall couch. They felt bad that because of them, she is sleeping uncomfortably while waiting for them.
Immediately, Arjun carried Dharani to her room as he doesn't want to disturb her sleep. Kamiya thought how it would if he carry her in bridal style, she blushed at her own thought. Then she locked the door and went inside the room.
Kamiya is happy on one side, but she is scared on the other side for her friend. She wants Ishu to be happy as before, she will do anything to bring back her smile.
When he came inside the room, he heard the water sound in the washroom. He is very happy today like he has achieved something. He still knows there is a long way for his relationship, but he is very happy for this progress.
Kamiya came from the washroom after changing her nightdress. Arjun also changed his dress. Then they both slept in their respective places with their thoughts.
*******************
NEXT MORNING
Author's Pov
Kamiya woke up and did her routine. She got ready in a simple pale maxi. While she is having her breakfast, she asked about Arjun's whereabout to her mom and she got the reply that he already left for the office.
Then only she noticed the time that is 10:00 am. She left to her friend's apartment in the hurry.
When she reached there, Varsha is having her breakfast while Ishu opened the door for her. Then, Varsha and Kamiya compelled Ishu to have her breakfast.
" Can we speak with him now?" Ishu asked.
"We are not going to speak with him, Ishu. You are going to speak with him. I and Varsha are going to the apartment park for some time," Kamiya told.
" No, please be with me. I am scared. I need you guys," Ishu said.
" But this is your life, Ishu. If we are with you means then you will think about my life while speaking every word. I want you to speak what your heart wants," Kamiya explained and Varsha nodded understanding her point.
"Ishu, look at me," Kamiya ordered and Ishu complied.
Kamiya cupped Ishu's jaws and said softly, "Call him and ask him whatever you want to ask. Maybe, It will ease your heart. Call us, once you finish. Ok,"
Ishu hugged her immediately. They both cooled her and went out.
While Ishu is making herself strong to call him, She heard the calling bell sound. She didn't check the peephole as she thought that they would have come back to take something.
When she opened the door, She startled after looking at the person who is at the door. Obviously, you guys guessed correctly. Yes, it is Akhil.
" What are you doing here?" Ishu asked as she is not prepared to face him that too she is alone now.
" I need to speak with you," Akhil said.
Ishu doesn't know what to do? She is scared and she doesn't know why?
"My friends are in" Akhil cuts her off, " I know they are not here. Just now, I saw them. They are going down. Please, just 5 min,"
She let him come inside and closed the door.
"How are you?" Akhil asked.
" Super. Why are you asking me this? Did you expect me to say that I am suffering while you are enjoying with your Swetha," Ishu said furiously.
"Angel, I am not serious about Swetha," Akhil stated.
" You are playing in her life too right. You are disgusting me, Akhil. And don't call me 'angel'. You don't have any right to call me with a nickname," She poured her venomous words.
"Please understand me, Ishu. I know I broke up with you without telling you any reason. I want to take revenge on Arjun, that's why I accepted Swetha. I used her for my revenge. When I met you in our training, I started loving you. But when I returned back here, I can't able to concentrate on my revenge, you were the only person who was going on in my mind.
I can't able to speak with Swetha. I don't want to hurt you in the future, that's why I broke up. It doesn't mean that I forget you. But I am not feeling any guilt.
When I saw you here yesterday, I realized that my love for you didn't reduce a bit. I can't imagine you with any other person. Angel, Please understand me," Akhil explained his side.
Ishu slapped him and said, "I don't know why you are taking revenge on him, but how can you use an innocent girl for all this? Swetha is innocent.
Akhil, you are going mad because of this revenge. Please don't do this. Please leave all this revenge thing. Please,"
Ishu cried while requesting him. When Akhil comes close to console her.
She pushed him, "Don't touch me. Don't,"
"Why are you taking revenge on him?" Ishu asked with the tears pouring continuously from her eyes.
"Why do you want me to leave my revenge while your friend itself wants his destruction?" Akhil yelled.
"That..That... She is forced into this. She wants some reason to come out of this relation," Ishu stammered.
"Likewise, I too have my reasons," He replied.
"What is that reason?" She yelled.
" I can't reveal now," He told with a blank look.
" Ok. Whatever it may be, how can you use Swetha in this? What she did to you?" She asked.
"She didn't, but I need revenge. So I will do whatever is making Arjun suffer. That's all," He said with a smirk.
" Are you hearing yourself? You are not human. You are becoming an animal, Akhil. Because of this revenge, you are going to lose your life. You will regret this, Akhil. You will surely regret this one day. And that day will come soon.
Get out now, I don't want you in my life," Ishu screamed.
Akhil holds her arm tightly and pulled her to him. There are only a few inches, which are separating them.
" Never. I said never think about leaving me. God chose to show you in my life again. I won't let you go now. You are mine," Akhil said seriously while looking at her eyes.
Ishu doesn't know what to say? She is looking at him without blinking.
"Bye Angel," He kissed her forehead and left. This is the first time, he came this close to her and also kissed her forehead.
Ishu is standing like a statue.
************************
MEANWHILE IN THE PARK
Author's Pov
Kamiya and Varsha reached the Park. They sat on one of the available park chairs.
"I am scared, Varsha," Kamiya feared.
" Me too. Let's hope for the best," Varsha replied.
" Hi Kamiya," Karthick greeted when he noticed her in the park.
" Hi Anna, Don't you have the office today? What are you doing in the park?" Kamiya asked him.
" Today my shift starts at 2:00 pm, Sis. So I just came here to relax for some time," Karthick replied.
" Oh ok, Anna. And thank you so much, Anna. I saw your ping that you have spoken with him regarding which we discussed yesterday," Kamiya said.
"Welcome Sis," Karthick smiled.
"Have you," Kamiya ringtone cuts her off. When she checked her mobile, the call is from her dad. She picked the call and spoke for 2 minutes.
"Actually, Dad needs some help for paying all the bills of this month online, Varsha. I will help him and return in 10 minutes. Meanwhile, Can you give her a company? Anna," Kamiya asked.
"Ah...Ah, Ok," Karthick replied and Kamiya left immediately.
They both are sitting silently for 5 minutes. Karthick thought to break the silence, "So, When are your class starts?"
"Coming Monday," Varsha replied.
"Oh cool," Karthick told.
"I am sorry. If I am being straightforward, but that's my character. Something is disturbing me since yesterday after I met you. I didn't feel like this before. I am becoming nervous around you, but this is not me.
When you told us about your one side love, I want to console you. I want you to overcome that. And I want to be the reason for that. Whenever you smile, I am getting jealous of the person who is behind that smile.
I know, I am becoming mad because of you. Since yesterday, I can't able to concentrate on any other things fully. Because your thoughts are disturbing me much.
You know, your eyes are disturbing me so much. Since yesterday, I am daydreaming about you. In my dream, you are looking at me with so much love. Now I am greedy for that look from you.
I know, I am being a fool here. But I can't help that. I know, you will think of this as an infatuation. But I am sure this is not.
You know what? I don't trust anybody that easily. Even I know them fully or even I like them, but I can't trust them. But When it comes to you, I want to trust my life with you. I want to show everybody that you are mine. Yes, You are only mine, I don't know Why? If this feeling is called 'love'
Then, I Love You, Karthick," Varsha proposed while her eyes pouring her emotion through tears.
Karthick is startled after hearing this.
" I know you won't accept me now. Then, you will think why did I propose to you now right? I too don't know. But I don't want our relationship to start with a lie.
I don't plan to propose you, but I told whatever the things I felt at that time. And I don't need your answer now.
If you want, you can speak with me as a friend hereafter. But don't forget that I am not looking at you as a friend," Varsha told and wiped her tears completely.
At the same time, Kamiya came, and when Varsha noticed her," Is everything done? Kamiya,"
" Yes Varshu," Kamiya replied.
" Shall we leave? Kamiya. Karthick also needs to prepare for his office right," Varsha said while looking at Karthick.
"Yes, Anna. Bye Anna," Kamiya said.
Kamiya is tensed about Ishu. That's why she didn't notice their face clearly.
" Ok, Bye Karthick," Varsha winked at him and they both left him while he is standing like a statue.
