NOTHING

I Like You Naina!

" I like you Naina and you know that! And it's not from today! I myself don't know how long I'm denying to it but this is truth! May be since Delhi! " He added

"Arjun, Is this a joke? Please if it is, you can end it here" I asked

"Naina, do you think my actions that too with you are jokes?" he asked a bit hurt and I denied.

We both sat silent for a few minutes after which I spoke.

"Why didn't you tell it before?" I asked 

"I told you yesterday" He mumbled

"I mean...more before" I asked 

"I am engaged! It sounded wrong! But it was getting heavy! And thought that what I feel for you might be just silly feelings. But it doesn't feel wrong" he said and I looked at the water.

"Did you..never feel the same way" he asked and looked at me.

"Tell me Naina. Because my actions weren't just from one side. I can see that"he demanded

"I..did. But it's way back. " I sighed not to complicate things.

"So why didn't you tell me" he asked 

"You are engaged ! You...you have a fiancee Arjun!And, just thinking about it that you & me! No! We...we're two totally opposite kind of people!Like literally totally opposite!" I said 

"You were making a relationship out of deal!How could've I told! And then, You're..my best friend! I felt I'll ruin everything"I added

"So you don't feel anything for me now?" He asked

"I...No" I lied 

"White lie!" he snapped a bit angrily.

"Arjun! We both..we shared moments! Those mean a lot to me! Like seriously lot! But this friendship, it's way more important to me! And I can't put it in risk! I'm...I'm not ready for this" I mumbled and he sighed.

"Got it" he said 

"I didn't want to hurt you" I mumbled as a tear left left my eye.

"Hey that's okay! That's fine!" He painfully spoke and I sighed.

"I don't want another heart break Arjun!" I said 

"I understand ! I'll....be in my damn limits. " He mumbled 

"I'm sorry!" I whispered 

"Don't be! You're right at your place. Your insecurities are right!And of course you deserve better" He said and I wiped my tears.

"Arjun..." I mumbled and he hummed

"Why me. I'm..not even your type! I don't even like Tennis a bit. I don't like almost all the things that you like ! Nothing matches! So why?" I asked 

"As I said you twice! I like being close to you! I feel comfort! It's you Naina! How can't one even not like you! You're perfect" he said 

"I'm not perfect! No one is" I told

"Trust me you're!" he told and I sighed.

"We've complicated this right" I asked 

"May be yes! But, We'll handle it! I know that" he said and I looked at him.

"How...you deal with all the situations Arjun!" I asked and he looked at me.

"Because I'm Arjun Singhania!" he smirked and I looked at him.

"Self obsessed" I said & he shrugged.

"Arjun.." I again mumbled and he hummed.

"Just because we've decided this..please don't stop smiling. Pretty please! That's my favorite thing" I said and he looked at me and then smiled.
