chapter 43

Narrative style.Meanwhile, Hanna walks towards Ryan who just stood there feeling helpless.Hanna walks in and smiles at Ryan.“What are you waiting for?” said Hanna.“Huh?” asked Ryan in a shocked expression.“Go behind her, she needs you.” Said Hanna.“Are you sure?” said Ryan.“It’s pointless if you stay here as your eyes, mind and body just want to be with her. Don’t worry about here, I will inform them about you two.” Said Hanna sweetly.“Thanks, you’re the best.” Said Ryan while hugging Hanna.“That I know.” Said Hanna and they both chukled, while she hugged Ryan back and saw him leave.From this part it will be completely in Ryan’s and Angel’s POV.After seeing Hanna off Ryan rushed towards his car and sat in the car.He started the car and started driving. It wouldn’t have been even a second, he suddenly put brakes and came at a halt.‘Where could have she gone I know she wont be alright after knowing about all this, thanks to that jerk, but where would she be. I’m sure she wouldn’t have gone to her house. But where?? UGGHH my mind also has to stop working now?’ thought Ryan.He then takes few deep breaths and thinks and suddenly he realizes something and says, “I know she would have gone there. I’m not 100% sure but I feel she must have gone there.”He quickly started the engine again and drove till his destination.After 30 minutes of tensed car ride, he finally reached his destination.He quickly parked the car and got out and ran towards the place to find if Angel was there or not.Meanwhile, Angel had rushed to her place where she would find peace and she could cry and feel better. She knew no one knew about that place and was rest assured no one could find her until she would want to be found.She takes some deep breaths.The cool breeze that hit her face was almost in irony with the heart burn she had felt which was boiling her up. It was like the exterior surrounding were cold as ice but her interior surroundings were as hot as a fire and they both evoked a mixture of different emotions of happiness, anger and sadness.It didn’t take her long before she started crying.She thinks of the time from where they both became friends and then a couple and over the years, how they both becamse so close and how it has turned out to be…“I ignored everyone when they said you weren’t right for me. I kept all their words behind and came to you Zach.” Said Angel while sobbing.“Your love has rendered me helpless and has ruined me for good...” Continued Angel.“The desire I had, the spark we had for our love is now killing me. Why did you start this fire of love and affection inside me? Why did you treat me like your queen when all you wanted was nothing but to sleep with me. You did all this for 3 years just for this?” said Angel while still crying.“But now what is the use of regret? I’m the one to be blamed and not Zach. Every time something happened I kept ignoring. Had I known how twisted the road of love will be I would have never listened to my heart and fallen in love with you Zach. Now my heart itself has decieved me so what is the point of blaming you. I regret falling in love with you Zach. I should have never, never fallen in love with you. But it was my own fault for loving such a man like Zach. I had lost all my senses. Every other day Leah used to say that Zach doesn’t seem right, but I used to believe him and trust him. Even after knowing about what he used to do for my birthdays, I still believed him. UGGGGGHHHHH, WHY DID YOU SET MY HEART AFLAME ZACH. Because of you I am crying my life away…” said Angel while she banged the wooden thing she was sitting on.“Then why are you crying?” asked a voice.Angel was shocked with the sudden interruption.She turns to look towards the voice and stands up quickly.She wipes her tears away and say, “How… How come??”Before she could finish the sentence the voice said, “That’s not important right now, answer me first. If you understand that Zach has always been a jerk then why are you crying over him?”“Then what do you expect me to do Ryan?” asked Angel furiously folding her hands in a fist trying to control her outburst.“Not to cry?” said Ryan.“Seriously?” asked Angel in an angry tone.“Why do you wish to cry for a person who doesn’t deserve your love?” said Ryan.She gives up and sits down, she then takes her hands and covers her face.“It still hurts to be betrayed Ryan…” said Angel tiredly.Ryan sits down next to her.“I know. You know crying is a form of pain, but it should be done for the people who you really care about. Zach who didn’t deserve your love shouldn’t even deserve your precious tears.” Said Ryan while wiping the tears that were flowing from Angel’s eyes.She feels a bit calm as she puts her head on Ryan’s shoulder. Ryan places his head on Angel’s head.“Why did he do this Ryan?” asked Angel.“Because he is a jerk. I wish I could have known about this earlier and would have ensured he never is seen any where near you.” Said Ryan.“I know. You have always been by my side…” said Angel.“I always will be…” whispered Ryan.“What?” asked Angel.“Nothing.” Said Ryan.They both were in silence for a while.They both could hear each other’s breathing.Everything was calm. The turmoil that had erupted in Angel’s heart had strangely calmed down since the time of Ryan’s arrival. She was in pain but she knew everything would be fine if Ryan would be beside her.Thinking about that she smiled.Looking at her smile he smiled too.“You know Angel, love doesn’t hurt… loving the wrong person or at times at the wrong time does…” said Ryan.“Hmm.” Said Angel.They were in silence once again. He closes his eyes to enjoy the view and breeze.After few moments.She suddenly pulls off from Ryan’s shoulder, which made Ryan open his eyes.Angel had a confused look.“Go ahead, ask.” Said Ryan“How did you know I was about to ask you something?” asked Angel.He smiles at her.“I’m waiting, tell me how????” insisted Angel.“I know you Angel, more than you know yourself…” said Ryan with a smile.Those words pierced right into her heart and made her happy.“Now I ask, what was the thing you wanted to ask me?” asked Ryan.“How did you know that I would be here? No one knows about this place, not even my family or friends.” said Angel.Ryan chuckles.“Hmm, the dock.” Said Ryan.“This dock was the place you came when you wanted some peace from yourself. Your past or something that extremely hurts you.” Said Ryan.“Yes, but how do you know all this?” Asked Angel.“Its never been like I would have gotten drunk and said coz I have never got drunk and when I’m in my senses I never told anyone about this.” Continued Angel.“That’s true. You have never said this to anyone, including me.” said Ryan“THEN HOW??” asked Angel frustratedly.“Remember after Viki had merely mentioned about your past at the mall and you had gotten all emotional and worried.” Said Ryan“Yes” said Angel.“Well then you said you wanted to go and before I could say I will accompany you, you had already left.” Said Ryan.“I understood you wanted to be alone, but since your past was something you were always worried about and you could go crazy and do anything I didn’t want to take any risk.” Continued Ryan.“I let you go alone… but…” said Ryan.“BUT WHAT?” asked Angel.“But I had followed you and waited in the car and saw you from the car.  You had come to this dock. You crying made me want to rush towards you and hug you but I had to stop myself in order to give you space for you. After a while you got up and left for home. I followed you till home and then I had left.” Said RyanAngel looks at him, her eyes had filled up and a tear drops from a corner of her eyes.‘He did all this for me.’ thought AngelWhile crying too she had a smile.“Hey, hey why are you crying again?” asked Ryan while quickly wiping the tear away.Angel suddenly hugs him and he hugs her back too.Their heart beat increases.Their beats get sychronized.She whispers to him, “You couldn’t hug me earlier, but now you can…”He smiles listening to her words.Over the hug, she feels his smile.After few moments…They don’t wish to pull away but eventually do…They both look towards the water flowing and the sound it made. They both smiling and feeling the same spark…After few seconds, “Shall we go?” asks Ryan.“Yeah.” Said Angel.They were about to get up when a message notification pops in.He opens to check this message.Angel sees that he has received a message from Hanna.He gets up and helps Angel get up too.He turns towards the exit to go towards the car and walks and Angel follows.He opens the message and sees what Hanna had written and replies back to her.While he was replying, he heard Angel from a far say, “WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE? YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH HANNA. SHE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU.”Ryan didn’t move and stood still.“I know I shouldn’t be saying this specially now, but I don’t want to wait anymore. I don’t care what you feel towards me… but…. But I feel a lot about you… this isnt about anyone else. But about me. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU RYAN since the time Mia and you were being so close to each other. I felt jealous. Now too whenever you have been with Hanna I have felt like killing her or myself. I have had these emotions and feelings but you were right Zach doesn’t deserve my love. But this isnt rebound either. And I know for a fact you just consider me as your friend and I don’t care. But I cant handle the fact that you being with Hanna come here to take care of me. I don’t want you to be with me, to hug me, to care about me when you are with Hanna or when you have no feelings or love towards me. SO PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME RIGHT NOW. I HAVE MY CAR AND I WILL FIGURE IT OUT ON MY OWN. PLEASE LEAVE. I DON’T WANT YOU TO BE HERE WHEN YOU DON’T LOVE ME.” said Angel.She said all this while looking towards Ryan who had his back to her. After saying all this she turns the other side.Ryan was still processing the whole monologue.He couldn’t believe that the words he wanted to tell Angel one day would be actually said by her. He was in tears and yet smiling…He turns to look to Angel who had turned the other side, and was in tears herself.He sees her and runs towards her. He pulls her by her arm closer to him and kisses her passionately…After few seconds of their beautiful kiss… he hugs her and whispers, “I will always hug and take care of you, not because of friendship, but because I never stopped loving you…”She blushes at his words and they go in for another kiss…After few beautiful moments that felt like a dream come true which was a dream come true for both of them since they both once wished to be with each other….They stood there and enjoyed their now new journey of love story….Angel 💕 Ryan are finally together….It’s a new and a happy beginning and not the end…Hey guys!!!!YAY!!!!!!
