My Secret Lovelife - Chapter 138

“Wake up, wake up Sonnet. ”

As I faintly opened my eyes I saw my friends. Sky continued rubbing my hands and Snow kept watering my face. Seeing their worrisome faces I felt sad but a bit happy. Unlike my school days where no one stood beside me. I had really made friends in the college.

Snow hugged me firmly, “I was so worried. You know this guy was worked up to death. ”

She pointed at him when I woke up. I looked at him. His eyes seemed were trying to express and say something, but he left. He avoided eye contact with me. I felt another stab but this time I had no idea why.

Snow, Paul, Ellie all surrounded me.I was surprised not to find Gray which was for the best.

“Sonnet you remember what you said after you fainted? ”

I nodded my head innocently but it might answer the reason of Sky’s going away.

“How should I tell you that? Actually you repeatedly whispered, ” Help Me ” “Help me to live” “Stay away” “Help me….. Gray” something like that. I couldn’t really understand what did you say before Gray. But do you like him so much Sonnet? ”

“What! No. Those were nonsensical uttering. Wait for me I have to go now. ”

“You should take more rest, you recovered just now. ”

“Thanks Snow, I really owe you but I have to leave right now. ”

I ran, I ran as far as I could to find him. Even if I don’t express my love to him but I can’t leave it as it is. I have to explain it to him no matter what. Please God, If you really exist please help me find him. Please…

I searched for him only to see him sitting in the rain by the pool. Lights were no more to be found but his silhouette was very obvious to me.

“Sky, I want to tell you something. ”

“Sonnet what are you doing in this rain? Go back and take rest. ”

He didn’t call me Sunny as usual like when are alone.

“May I ask what are you doing here? ”

“Embracing.”

“I’m also embracing the rain here. But you have to listen to me. ”

“No you go back. ”

Even in the darkness I could see him avoiding me.

“I won’t go back. You know that Gray..”

He shouted, “I TOLD YOU TO GO BACK!! CAN’T YOU LISTEN TO ME FOR ONE TIME FOR MORTAL’S SAKE”.

Over.. But I will fight this time.I’m not the old Sonnet anymore. Accepting defeat like during school days will swallow me up even more.

He looked at me into the eye, surprised at his own tone. My eyes filled with tears were continuously getting washed by the rain but I looked at him straight in the eye.

“I will only tell you one thing after that don’t even mind me nor I would mind you. Gray”

“Gray, Gray and Gray ! To hell with that! Where was that jerk when you were in the most feeble of times.Even this time he didn’t come. Don’t speak about him to me at all. All the best I’m leaving. ”

I had never seen him so angry. For the first time I’m experiencing his wrath.I thought, I was the only one who reacts and gets angry.

My voice cracked,”Why are you over reacting so much? I also hate him a lot. The one who should be angry must be me! ”

Seeing him turning back. I without thinking what would happen next explained everything to him what happened during the noon voicing my anger keeping my head down.

I continued without pausing my limits, “And you know why I did that? Because I love”

I paused. I couldn’t extend any further. I looked up at him , his eyes gave a shocked look accompanied with hint of anger. His hands gripped tight in the form of making a fist. Then he showed me a photograph. I was already ashamed to my limits since this morning.

The photograph added fuel. Someone took the photograph of me and Gray in the noon at an angle which looked we were about to kiss. It’s horrible.

I spoke in my hoarse voice in the thunderous rain, “Very well Sky, now you believe a photograph more than my words. Well founded trust you have on me, my friend. I have already told you enough. ”

“Sunny, I meant who photographed it. Surely that guy is involved. I will give you justice before this guy spreads it all over. Have some trust in me. ”

I was like, What! was he testing the waters? And he would help me but why? What will he gain.

I spoke feebly, “But why? Why will you help me?”

He avoided the question and laughed a bit.

” My reputation is endangered and you are laughing? Am I a joke to you? ”

“Actually this is the first time I heard a wierd confession from a girl. ”

I remembered the part where I abruptly paused.

I got flustered all over, “No need , no need to respond Sky. It was nothing. ”

“But I will respond. ”

My heart started to beat fast. What will he say?

He fell on his knees and his head up looking at me as spoke finally, “Well It’s really awkward but to be honest, I had liked you all along. When it started I don’t remember but you were there for me whenever I needed. At first I thought I could use you, but as days passed by I didn’t want that. I don’t know why I questioned the same question to myself why would you help me? It’s silly right but with every step, I felt your importance in my life. You made me feel important and..and I know right now whatever I’m speaking might be a bit absurd but I would like to say ” Will you be my other half? “Girlfriend is not enough. It seems too literal. You are already my girlfriend. “, he added.

I stood there unmoved. Tears of happiness was trickling down my cheeks.

“Sunny, we can remain friends if you don’t want , you don’t have to cry. “, he flustered.

“I would love to be with you. And I love you. ”

I held his hand pulled him up. We both came back holding hands in the rain.

The rain which kept showering blessings since the first day we met. No one came to know our silly confessions and we stayed at college catching cold from the rain.

“Sigh Bad luck indeed. “, as I took out my other set of clothes.

“At least I have my Sunny to warm me up. ”

I blushed heavily and spoke, “You idiot I won’t. ”

“I’m just making a rhyme. Ha ha ha. ”

” When will you stop making fun of me .Achoo! ”

“Never, Achoo! ”

“Ha ha ha”

We giggled. It felt like a dream.

I called up mom that I won’t be able to return as trains were cancelled in this weather. She was relieved.

The professors alloted different classrooms for Girls and Boys . And all went chummy. But the photograph made me worry a lot. Hope Sky helps me to deal with that fast.
