chapter 40

Nikhil continued, “I felt like talking to you. I even tried talking to you many times but you ignored me every time. I felt that you had moved on. So I also decided to move on. Oh, sorry, I interrupted you. You were about to say something. Please continue.I thought, “He didn’t get fed up or frustrated by whatever I said up to now. He also admitted the fact that he got interested in me. All these things are saying only one thing that he is still interested in me and must have been waiting for me to take a step ahead towards him. Studious boys are very shy in nature. I can understand. No problem. I will make his path easy. I will take a step ahead, propose him again and become his girlfriend. Hehe.”I said blushing, “Yeah, I was saying that later on I realized that my feelings for you are very strong. No matter how hard I try, I can’t move on. Within my heart of hearts, only you are my hero. I can’t live without you even for a second. I love you, Nikhil!”My last four words exploded like a bomb and at once, everything fell silent! The temperature of my body had increased. I could feel the air around me getting warmer by the heat of my body. The sound which we hear after a loud explosion which is like teeeeee…I began to hear having said all this. Vaishali and my eyes were fixed on his face. He was also stunned to hear that. Nobody said anything for a couple of seconds. Silence prevailed for about thirty seconds.Finally, he said something which swept us off our feet. He said, “Divya, you are very late. When I decided to move on, I really moved on. Sanaya came in my life. She proposed me. I could not say no to her because she is a very sweet and a very intelligent girl. She is a deadly combination of beauty and intelligence. I am sorry, Divya.”Another bomb blasted in my brain and I continued hearing the sound, “Teeeee!” Having said that, he said, concerned, “I hope you are fine.” I could not say anything. He already flabbergasted me. He said slowly, his voice reflected genuine concern for both of us, “I hope I didn’t hurt you. I am really sorry, Divya. Had you proposed me then when I was interested in you, I would have definitely said yes. If Sanaya had not come in my life, even then I would have accepted your proposal but now, I can’t betray her. I love her and she loves me. I hope you will understand. And yeah one more thing, we can be good friends, if you want.” He ended his dialogue with a smile. I had not come out of shock yet. I was not in a condition to respond. He was still waiting for our response. Vaishali controlled the situation saying to him, “We understood, Nikhil. If Sanaya has come into your life. It’s good. We are happy for you. And yeah, we accept your friendship proposal. From now on, we are your good friends.”He said beaming at us, “That’s really great. Now, I have to go. We will surely meet some other day.”Vaishali - Yeah, sure. He left the canteen with a happy note. She said, shaking me, “Divya, come back!” I said, “Yes.” She said ruthlessly, “Your game is over. Nikhil has also slipped out of your hands.” I could not look into her eyes. I was feeling offended, perhaps insulted, I don’t know what. I don’t know what kind of feeling it was but it was very bad. I looked in the opposite direction of Vaishali and thought, “Sometimes, she is very caring and sometimes, she becomes ruthless in breaking my already broken heart.”In the evening at about 5:30 p.m.I called on the number of Vaishali. She picked up my call. I said, “Vaishali, I need your favour.” She asked me, “Now what?”I said in a weak voice, “I want to go to the temple. Please come to my home. We will go together.”She thought, “She is heartbroken. I should not say no to her no. I am very busy now. I have to complete my assignments too. But she is in distress. I should give my company to her at least now. If she asks me to come tomorrow too, then I will say no to her.”She said, “Okay, I am coming.” She reached my home on scooty. Then we went to temple together. Obviously, being in the temple was a good experience for me. It helped me to calm down my mind. I started feeling a bit better. The positive aura of the temple filled me with some unknown positive energy. We came back home. My mom served us coffee with biscuits and went back to the kitchen. I said from the bottom of my heart to her, “Thanks a lot for accompanying me. I was feeling very depressed. You won’t believe but for the first time ever, suicidal thoughts came into my mind.”Vaishali - What! Suicidal thoughts!Divya - Yes, I was feeling like killing myself. Thank God, I am feeling a bit better now. Just see na, what’s happening in my life. First Nikhil rejected me then Vicky played with my emotions. Then Sahil ruined my life and now again Nikhil rejected me. Vaishali - Nikhil didn’t reject you but he is no longer single. Divya - I know that he has made a girlfriend. What was her name? Oh yeah, Sanaya is her name. He said no to me because she was in his life.Vaishali - Hmm…Divya - So far in my life, I haven’t got even a single sincere boy in my life. I have started feeling there is no good boy in my life. God has not made any good boy for me. She didn’t know what to say now. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
