And Then You Happened

'Revealing The Past'

"Mahir get away from here and let me get inside" I told

"No. You've to listen me once" He adamently spoke.

"Mahir. You don't have to explain anything. It's okay " I stated

"No it's not okay" he said banging his hand on the door of cab.

"Man. What are doing" shouted the cab driver

"Listen you. Better you go from here otherwise I'll see how this cab company of yours will work. I'll put a permanent lock on your company!!" He growled

 "Why are you shouting at him" I yelled

"Why he's poking his nose in between" He scowled.

I sighed giving him his payment.

" You go. I'll manage " I said and the driver nodded frightened and went away.

"You're still crying" he asked concerned

I can't understand this man. Some time before he was behaving with me like he hell cares for anything.

"Why do you care." I snapped wiping my tears

"Surbhi. Let me explain why I said all that to you" he said.

"Mahir. I told you no need. You don't owe me any explaination " I again spoke.

"What the hell Surbhi. Why don't you listen to me. I here want to owe you all the explanations. I want to explain everything to you but no !!You don't want to" he chided

I didn't say anything & just started walking.

The next thing I know was I was lifted in his arms.

"What the...Mahir. what are you doing. Leave me" I warned

"I'll not. You've to listen to me" he said and I knew he's adament !!

"Why should I? Just a few minutes before you cleared me that I'm not your friend. So why you want to explain to a stranger " I shouted crying

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say anything like that. Believe me that much that I'll not lie in a cathedral. I'll explain you once you come inside. Please. Trust me Surbhi" he pleaded.

And these words were enough to melt me.

I wiped my tears.

"Fine.But firstly leave me. I can walk" I gritted

He carefully left me and next we were in the cathedral, sitting on one of the corner bench.

"I'm... I'm sorry Surbhi" He said

"Why you said all that Mahir. You know you are my good friend and it hurts. It really hurts" I lamented

"I didn't want you to suffer due to me. I'm not worth a good friend and you'll be happy if you will not have a friend like me in your life" he rambled   

What!!! Is he mad. What is he thinking.

"Are you mad. Who said you all this" I asked

"I know this Surbhi. That's why I didn't replied your messages. " he said

"Mahir. Are you mad ? What are you saying ! How can you even think like this. What you thought before thinking this huh!! I'll just forget it.  No Mahir. You know, you are so good friend and you know you made me sad by doing this. You made me sad for these days by not replying my message. You know how much it hurts when you expect a person to talk to you and he doesn't. I was hell scared if you are even fine or not. You...you even don't care about... " I tried to say but couldn't say more as I sobbed
