Chapter 52

Sagar's POV



It was lunchtime, Samar was about to order, so I told him that a friend was also coming so Samar ordered food accordingly.

Maurvi came exactly at the right time and smiled politely at everyone. I smiled back.

" Hi.. you are right on time... Let me introduce you to everyone. You already know Sahil... This is Samar, Sahil's best friend." She nodded at him and he smiled too.

" This is... Damini, my... "

" Colleague... Hi, I am Damini." She didn't let me complete the sentence.

" Hi, I am Maurvi. I am glad to meet you Damini Ji. "

" Same here. "

We all started having lunch though Damini was toying with the food.

" Are you not liking the food, Damini Ji? " Maurvi asked.

" No it is just that I am not hungry. ' she said.

Everyone else was enjoying and Sahil praised the food Maurvi got for us. Everyone was laughing and talking except for my love. My heart was crying to take her in my arms but I control my urges and went to the shopping.

" What do you think? " I asked Maurvi.

" She was definitely jealous. But not much of a reaction. "

" She was being sarcastic with me after your phone call. "

" Hmm ... Continue what you are doing. The reaction is on the way, I can feel it. " Maurvi said.

" I am a bit curious.. how do you read all these feelings in people? "

" I used to love guessing what a person might be thinking just by looking at him or her. Slowly I started understanding the relationship between the human body language, expressions and their emotions. "

" Interesting... So, It must have helped you in knowing Gautam's feelings about you. When and how did he feel that you feel for each other? "

" That is the funniest thing, Sagar Ji. We were falling for each other but we're hiding our feelings. He thought that I was too young for him and I thought that he would laugh at me as I had a crush on him. He is really smart and I always get to sense such things really fast... But we both behaved like stupids. " She was really sweet... I was happy for Gautam.

I helped her by doing shopping for Gautam. They both were really cute... Made for each other.

It was evening and I came back to the office.



Damini's POV



" So you expect him to spend all his life, persuading you to accept his love? Do you expect that he keeps roaming around you while you keep rejecting him?? He has already suffered so much... Do you want him to suffer for the rest of his life begging you to love him back?? You should be happy that now he will leave you alone and would not bother you again. That's what you wanted, right?? " Sahil asked looking into my eyes.

" I don't know, what I want?? " I said with my eyes flooded with tears and I ran outside and went to the guest house.

I reached my room and was about to close the door when Sahil pushed it and both Samar and Sahil came in.

" Get lost both of you leave me alone."

" Wait!! Enough of this. Now, if you want to be happy with him, then do something. " Sahil said.

" You don't know anything... "

" Then tell us, what we don't know... Why don't you tell him everything? He has a right to know your feelings. C'mon Damini we all can see that you love him. You are as crazy about him as he is for you... Just accept the fact and tell him. Or one fine day he might get tired or get diverted towards someone else. He has loved you for years, he kept looking for you. He is my brother,I know him, but you need to tell him about your feelings. "

" I can't..."

" Why?? What is the problem?? Don't you want to be happy with him? Don't you want to see him smiling? " Sahil retorted.

" But, I don't want him to suffer more." Shit!! It escaped my mouth.

" What??" He was confused as hell.

" No. Nothing."

" Repeat that. "

" Let it be. "

" No. Just repeat that." Sahil said. He looked like a devil now.

" I don't know. " I said and burst into tears. So I hid my face in my palms.

Sahil came near me, made me sit and pulled my hands away from my face. His expression was softer now.

" Hey!! Shhh, don't cry, please. Sagar would kill me if and when he gets to know that I made you cry. " He said sweetly.

" Calm down! So do you love him?" He asked again when I controlled my tears.

" I... do. But I can't let him suffer because of myself. I will not be able to live if anything happens to him."

" Why would anything happen to him?" Sahil asked. He was still holding my hand.

I could not speak anything.

Samar came near me and sat on his knees in front of me.

" For god's sake tell him that you love him. He is dying to hear that. Let him decide about his life. He can handle all this. Hurry up, before it is too late. " Samar said to me.

" But... "

" I will kill you if you use this word again. " Samar said threatening me. I just smiled.

" Wait... What do you mean by letting him decide about his life? What is it all about? " Sahil asked.

I could not say anything and my eyes started producing tears again.

Samar explained everything to him. Including my feelings for Sagar and how I wanted to stay away from him to keep him safe. He also told him that I was about to talk to Sagar before going to the USA but then I saw Sahil and thought that he was Sagar.

Sahil was awestruck. He could not say a word for a few minutes... And finally, everything sank in.

" Oh my god!!! You were trying to save him from those mad people out there?? " Sahil asked me.

I just looked away.

" Tell me?? Were you trying to save him? "

" Hmm "

" You love him so much?? "

" Hmm "

" Are you sure ?? "

" Hmm "

" Are you sure, you love him? "

" Hmmm why ?? "

" No... I mean, could there be any chance that you love me not him? " He asked with a serious expression.

" What ?? Are you insane?? " I asked.

" No... But there is a chance. We are identical twins. Maybe... "

" Never, not in this lifetime and never in any of my next 100 lives. "

" Oh!!!! Don't be rude sweetheart. I am not that bad." he said with a smile and winked.

" Samar tell him to stop teasing me or I will kill him today. "

" See, I think... Sagar has found someone. He is busy doing shopping with my would-be sister-in-law, but I am here. " He said and I glared at him. Pulled my hand out of his pushed him and threw something at him.

" Ouch! No. Ouch! Wait... Oh God!! Stop. Ouch! "

I kept throwing small but heavy metal handicrafts which I bought yesterday when I went to shopping in a fit of anger and jealousy.

" Ok, sorry, sorry... wait. " he raised both his hands in the air in front of his face. I stopped throwing things at him but kept glaring at him.

" I was just kidding, teasing you. You stupid girl, you love him so much and he loves you and you are scared of people? We will take care of that. That was years ago, now the time has changed. No one bothers now. You can be with whom you want to spend your life with. "

" But he doesn't love me, he loves her. " I was still angry.

" You never told your feelings to him. It's not his fault... you kept ignoring him, but it is not very late. Now go and tell him everything."

" But... "

" Samar, she used the word again. Kill her... " Sahil said and Samar laughed.
