26. Unsaid Words
His To Adore
Mahi's POV:
Music was blasting and everyone was enjoying themselves without any care in the world. The couples Nandini di, Samarth bhai and Rishi, Priya were having their movements, while Ahan, I, Nitya and Kirti were dancing together. Kabir and Karan were just enjoying their drinks.
Sameer was the most quiet among all, he didn't even join us. Ahan is such a fun loving person unlike his best friend. I asked Kabir to dance with us but he denied.
After almost 1 hour of dancing and singing we all were tired and decided to rest before having dinner. The whole day was great. We played a lot of games and had tons of fun. Kabir planned all this so I can't think about yesterday's events and all this really helped me to calm myself.
I went toward the bar counter to have a drink. "Karan, please make one for me too." He was making one for himself.
"No Mahi, you can't drink." Comes the response from our Mr Mehra.
"And why is that?" I raised my eyebrow leaning on the bar counter. He passed me a glass with orange juice in it and clicked our glasses saying "You have this."
"I want a drink and not this orange juice okay?" I moved to the other side to make a drink for myself.
"You are a disaster after getting drunk. So there is no way I am letting you drink." His words made me stop and my mind started recalling the events of last time. Mahi he is right, you can't embarrass yourself again!
I picked up the glass of orange juice and took a sip of it. Karan was looking at me with astonishment because usually I never listen to others that easily. Also I am not obeying Kabir but I want to save my face.
"What? I care about my health and drinking is injurious to health. You both should not drink as well." I left their sides before any of them could say anything to me but I didn't miss the satisfactory expression on his freaking handsome face.
"Get your mind back on track Mahi!" I murmured to myself and moved toward where Ahan and Nitya were sitting. They both were talking to each other, they looked comfortable. Nitya is not someone who can make friends easily but surprisingly they both are getting along well.
"Hey guys!" I let them know my presence and both looked toward me. "Today was fun right?" I sat beside Nitya on the couch.
"Yea it was great! I never saw him doing so much for someone. He is really moving forward after all-" He stopped in between. I couldn't comprehend what he meant. Is he talking about Kabir? I was about to open my mouth to ask what he meant but before that he stood up and left saying he had to make a phone call.
I and Nitya looked at each other and she just shrugged her shoulders. I leaned back on the couch and closed my eyes. I was tired after draining my energy on the dance floor. "Nitya." I opened my eyes and she hummed in response but didn't look up from her phone.
"Why did you decide to work on the music video?" My words made her look up at me with a little surprise. She thought for a while and leaned back on the couch, looking up at the ceiling she answered.
"The director of the music video is a very good friend of my dad. He saw one of the advertising projects I did in first year and he really liked it. Dad promised him that I will work with him in his next music video."
"I was not ready at first but dad said this is the last time he is asking me because he already promised and I don't want him to break his promise so I agreed. This doesn't seem bad though." she said with a small smile on her face.
"But Sameer is going to be beside you. Are you going to be okay? I know things are not very good between you for the past week." I paused for a second and looked at Sameer who was drinking recklessly.
"Honestly I never understood that, you two really don't like each other or there's something more to it." I looked back at Nitya and she was looking at Sameer.
"There are always things that just can't happen no matter how hard you try." She sighed and closed her eyes. I don't know if she is talking about their differences or something else.

Nitya's POV:
The voice of glass breaking made me jump. I looked into the direction where Sameer was sitting a few moments ago. "Sorry bro!" Ahan bumped into Sameer and the glass fell from his hand.
"Your sorry can't fix the broken glass." Anger laced his voice and eyes had a light shade of red signifying he is drunk.
"Chill, it was just a glass. I can bring a new one for you." Ahan said, trying to calm him down but it only made Sameer throw daggers at him through eyes.
"Don't bother, just stay away from me." Sameer picked up the broken piece of glass from the floor but it made a cut on his palm and blood started to flow.
"You are bleeding." Ahan bent down to help him but he just pushed him making him stumble. I stood up and moved toward them.
"I said fucking stay away from me." He yelled, gathering everyone's attention. His eyes met mine for a microsecond before he moved out of the living room. The drops of blood fell from his hand as he made his way toward the pool area.
"Do you have a first aid box?" I asked Kabir. He nodded and asked Kirti to bring it.
"It's okay, don't mind him, he is drunk." Mahi said coming closer to Ahan and he just gave her a nod. Kirti handed me the first aid box and I went to the pool area. He was sitting on a chair beside the pool.
His head rested on the chair with eyes closed. His hand was still bleeding but he didn't even care. I moved closer to him and sat on the chair beside him. I took his hand in mine and he opened his eyes.
"No need for this." He pulled his hand back. I again grabbed his hand and washed it with water. I started to clean his wound without saying anything. He winced as I put the ointment on his cut but kept his mouth shut. Luckily the cut was not too deep.
I finished the dressing and looked up. He was looking at me but I looked away as soon as our eyes met. "Don't drink so much that you even lose your control." I stood up to leave but he grabbed me by my wrist.
He pulled me with a yank and I directly landed on his lap. Our faces were just a few inches apart. My breath hitched while his hand moved toward my face. The back of his fingers stroked my cheek and I closed my eyes in anticipation.
Our proximity accelerated my heart beat. I tried my best to not feel what I felt for him in the past but this moment made all my efforts go in vain. I don't want to be weak and surrender to my heart again.
"The only thing I want to know is why you hate me so much?" Were his words and I opened my eyes to look at him. His eyes held a sort of emptiness, his voice was so low and felt weak. I don't know why he is like this.
"Let me go, Sameer." All I want is to get away from him immediately before I lose the sanity I saved all these years. I wiggled but instead of letting me go his hand went to my waist and he pulled me even closer than we already were.
"I am not letting you go until you give me the answers I want, cupcake." His eyes pierced into mine, telling me he won't easily let this go.
"Don't do it Sameer. It's in the past..... I don't want to remember it." My senses started to lose to our closeness. Our nose brushed and my heart almost blasted. I don't know why but he is still affecting me so much.
"But I want to know" He moved even closer, his breath fanning my ear, "Also I don't really like you being around him." He whispered. I know he was talking about Ahan. I have noticed the frown on his face whenever we both are together.
"Your liking doesn't matter." I said in a curt voice. He has never been like this before and I don't understand what is going on, maybe because he is drunk. He always likes to play around with me and that is what he is doing right now.
"Then maybe soon it will matter." He tucked my hair strands behind my ear, his knuckles brushed my cheeks, sending shivers down my spine.
"Dinner is ready........guys." Ahan came and his expression changed as he saw us like this. I tried to get up but Sameer's hand was still on my waist stopping me from moving.
"Sameer let me go at this very moment!" I raised my voice a little and his grip loosened. I took the chance and quickly got up from his lap. God this is so embarrassing.
"Let's go." I told Ahan and quickly went inside. My heart was racing at the speed of light. Things were already awkward between us and this just made it even more worse.
"How is he now?" Mahi asked me as we both entered the dining area. Everyone already started but their faces were dull due to what happened a few time ago.
"Don't worry guys, he is okay, just a little bit drunk. I didn't mind him so let's forget what happened and focus on our dinner. This all is supposed to be fun." Ahan said and the atmosphere became a little light.
"He is not having dinner or what?" Rishi asked as Sameer didn't come back with us. I didn't ask him because all I wanted was to go away from him at that time.
"Don't worry about that he can eat whenever he want." Mahi assured everyone and they all continued to have their conversations. Sameer is not someone who can resist his hunger.
After dinner everyone was tired and decided to crash the night here only. They chose their respective rooms. Mahi, I and Kirti decided to sleep in the same room. I tried to sleep but it was far away from my mind.
The conversation between us kept playing in my mind. I have never been this close to him before. The contact our body made today was giving me chills. His words "Soon it will matter" kept repeating in my ears.
What does he mean by them? Why am I thinking so much about him again? It was already hard enough for me to move on from him. I was not lucky in love both of the time. My love for Sameer died a long time ago and he can never know about my feelings for him. It's the best for us.
He didn't love me back then and now also he never will. I accepted this a long time ago but the way he broke my heart was not something I expected from him. He always asks me why I hate him. How can I say that, I can never bring myself to hate him.
I just want to stay away from him as much as possible. I am afraid I might fall for him again and he might break my heart again. The only thing that makes my heart ache is, he is oblivious to the fact that he broke my heart and trust at the same time.
