chapter 47

    I never had expected Sahil to say something like that. I mean I do understand him siding Abhijeet but he doesn't have the right to tell me I am wrong about my own feelings and whom I love and this- all ughh I am seriously annoyed. I slammed the metal gate behind me as I stepped out.  I need to have a word with this moron today.     " Bhoo!" , Aarushi out of nowhere shook me making me flinch and snap out of my thoughts. " What are you 3? " , I am sure I sounded annoyed  , her face fell really bad at that." What's wrong?" " Nothing." She didn't stress it further. The silence was really too much today but I had a lot going on in my head to initiate or even participate in any conversation so I let it be. We walked over to the gate and I checked my phone . Moron:I am at canteen. If you trust me even a bitI will be waiting here till the evening.         He sounds so sick. " I gotta go , I have some stuff to do. You go on. I will prolly head back by break. " , I informed her and turned my heels out of the building before she even got a chance to question me. I must have left her bewildered but right now I wasn't in mood to explain this all to her.    I reached the canteen and that moron indeed sat there waiting for me while being on his phone. He at once set it aside when I stepped in front of him. He smiled awkwardly, not knowing what else to do. I took the sit opposite to him facing him with a stoic face. " Umm, thanks for coming.", he sounded hell lot of nervous. " Whatever get over with what you want to say I have better things to do. " His face fell but he recomposed himself and placed his hands on the table clasping them together giving in his best serious posture.      " I will be straightforward. Are you, like- do you really like Aarushi or-" " What if I do?" He was taken aback at the question. His processor lagged for a good while before taking his hands back and leaning in his chair.     " Why?" " Love doesn't come with reasons."  I cringed at my own statement. Since when do I speak like this? " I never heard you talk of love when you were with me?" " I never was in love with you I guess." That must have hit hard. He looked disappointed. " Are you sure about her?" " More than I ever was about anything else. " " Please, this isn't funny. I mean do you seriously love her or just doing it for the sake of getting a revenge on me?"  This question, this question had made me question my feelings all over every damn time. " Initially I was but now I am genuinely persuing her and I don't need to prove it to any of you morons how much I love her and that I am actually serious about it."     " I believe you here. ", that was unexpected. I raised my eyebrow to question him and he fiddled with his fingers nervously. " I have been kind of stalking you two and I can tell you do love her. The way you look at her, the way you flirt, the way your tone shifts while talking to her , the way you are possessive when talking about her , the way you care about her , everything you do now , well you never did it before , so yeah , I can tell how much you are in love with her. " I was surprised, not at the fact that he stalked us but that even he noticed how much I was in love and then here's my dumb Aarushi no matter how straightforward I am she still thinks it's all for the sake of prank. How oblivious exactly are you then love?     I didn't know I was smiling until he knocked the table to gain my attention.  " What?" He cleared his throat and looked at me with all the sincerity and courage he could muster. " If you are actually serious, I am willing to help you get her ." I am sure I heard it wrong or something is wrong with this guy. A laugh escaped my lips as I stared at him with my what the hell gaze. " Why would you?" " Because I have also seen the way she treats you. " Now I am interested. " What do you mean?"   " The way she looks at you when you are looking away, gets flustered and then mad at your flirting but still chooses you to hang around with. Even the times when she was creeped out by my actions, it was you, my ex she trusted more than me. I mean wouldn't you suspect a revenge plan from someone's ex sneaking upto you, their crush? I am not sure if she herself knows this but from what I see, she too has fallen for you ." For the first time I wasn't mocking a reply at him. " You think so ?" He nodded.     " But that doesn't explain why would you help me?" " Because when you love someone , nothing matters more than their happiness."  I fake vomited at his words. " It sounds cringe from me but trust me when it's from the one you love all those shitty couple things genuinely seem adorable. " , he said it with so much confidence that now I am embarrassed of my words. " Whatever. " " What's your deal?"  " Never hurt her. I just want to see my beloved happy. "  Why did I feel so insulted at this. He must have noticed the shift in my emotions but he dared not voice it.       " What's it you have got to offer here?" " You know what's the fuel to spark of love?"  , he said it with a smirk and I am not sure what is this moron upto. " What?"  "Jealousy. ". I looked at him with zero reaction. I understood nothing.     " See as long as she doesn't see the urgency to get together with you, you are getting nowhere. Sometimes instead of pushing her limits you have to simply provoke her to cross the line."    " Can you speak human language?", I asked annoyed . He rolled his eyes and now I feel like an idiot her. " Why are you so dumb?" This shit- " You have a death wish?". He shook his head and begun again.     " Okay see. If you like someone and know they are available you plus you know they share the same feelings what do you do?" " Get together?" He slammed his head in his palms. Looked up again , took a deep breath and continued." Okay , but it's not so in real life. If she already knows how you feel and that you'd be there for her all the time you are taken for granted. She just considers it not necessary to claim you. But , if she sees the threat of loosing you to someone or something she is eventually forced to acknowledge her own feelings and pushed a bit more , even confess. You see how this works now?"    I nodded. " Make her jealous so she confesses to me on her own?" " Yes!" " Why would you complicate it so much then? " He rolled his eyes but ignored it. " So what am I supposed to do?" " Well , I have the plan only if you promise to not kill me. " I scanned him once and nodded. " Bark. "     " Get back together with me. "
