Till Death Do Us Apart ✔️

Chapter 26

Minutes later, I bid bye to him and turned around to leave but stopped when I felt someone holding my hand, I knew it was him and every time his touch make me shutter.

I slowly looked back and he was looking deep into my eyes, for a second I found myself lost in his deep black orbs.

I turned facing him completely and he left my hand, I raised my eyebrows asking him what and he stood up right infront of me.

"I don't know if this is the right time or no to say this, initially when I thought to express my feelings I decided to make it very special for both of us.. but now I think I no longer can keep it within me", he said slowly taking my hand in his

Feelings? I hope he doesn't say something I can't handle to listen..

"I Love You Divya", he said cupping my cheek

I din't know what to answer, this is something I never expected.. what do I do now?

"I don't know how this happened, but the first time I saw you I knew it was just you.. I wouldn't say some filmy dialogues, but one thing Divi.. I'll always protect you from all the odds and give you all the love I can throughout my life", he said genuinely

Although I know his flirting nature, I also know if he say something he mean it everytime. But I know this isn't gonna happen ever.

"I'm sorry Arjun, but I.. I don't feel such for you.. you are.. are just my friend and.. honestly all this wouldn't work between us", I said not meeting his eyes

He left my hands and stayed silent for a couple of minutes.

"I understand, sorry if I troubled you with my words.. I wouldn't talk about this again, but I.. I hope..", he was saying while I interrupted

"Our friendship wouldn't spoil Arjun", I voiced out his concern

He gave a sad smile and we both stood silent for a couple of minutes.

"Arjun", I whispered seeing his fallen face

"I'm fine Divi, don't think otherwise.. and hey seems like Siddharth Bhai came, you should probably leave", he said casually

Is he trying to hide his pain? Is he in pain? Hell yes, I could see how genuine he was while confessing it to me and I just rejected?

Love was something I never thought of.. and when he said he loves me and my instant answer was a no, but now I don't know if I did right by doing such..

I should have asked him some time to figure out things, but heck why am I this confused in life?

Arjun

I thought I would make it special but heck I was all nervous after the kiss we shared last night.. although she said she doesn't regret, I know she must be feeling embarrassed.

We never shared anything such till now and a kiss is out of box for her to process.

I somehow decided that I'm gonna tell it to her all straight without any much preparations.. I was feeling hell nervous the entire day and Aarav kept comforting me but nothing seems to work..

And finally I did it.. but to my bad luck she rejected stating we are just friends.. was it really just Friendship between us and nothing more?

After Divya and Anu left, Aarav came towards me probably understanding what just happened looking at my face.

"Bro I think you must give her some time to think", he said

"She said it off bro.. I'm just a friend to her and nothing more", I said sadly
