The Unnecessary Alliance

THE REALISATION

AADISH's POV

I didn't answer any of her calls or messages yesterday. It was all too much.

She deserves better, not someone like me who runs away at every minor inconvenience.

She must be stressed.

I look at the time.

Fuck! I am supposed to drive her to school.

But I can't. I am a coward, who doesn't even want to face her.

I can't see her disappointment, when she will find out the truth.

She will hate you. A small voice in me says

I take out my phone to text her.

Hey, Roses!
A little busy. Sending my driver to take you to school.

It's currently 5:30, so, I assume she must be sleeping.

I throw my phone on the couch as I walk towards the balcony.

No amount of air can help me breathe. It's all suffocating.

My thoughts keep racing back. No matter how hard I try, I keep going back to the garage, the messages and the conversation with Avinash.

Avinash is right, she isn't like her family. She is pure, kind and loving. She doesn't deserve the hurt and the pain I will bring her.

I have been too selfish to see how many innocents will get hurt, if, I accidentally end up hurting her.

I need to protect her, from me.

I am the Monster, the devil and the evil who lurks in the dark.

She is the angel, the fairy who brings light in your life.

But she doesn't deserve to be ignored either. A small voice in me argues.

I run my hand in my hair, as I pace to and fro on the balcony.

My phone pings.

I run towards it.

Roses:- Hey! It's okay. I can drive myself. Don't overwork. Remember to take a break💓

I wasn't there for her yesterday. I have been nothing but distant towards her. And, yet, she is kind enough to care for me.

So, I text her back.

Me:- You don't have to drive yourself. I will send the car.

Roses:- No! I only love being your passenger princess 😉. You go and work. Don't worry about me💕.

My passenger princess. My throat tightens.

Will she still love being my passenger princess, if, she finds out who I am? I ask myself
