In a spacious room bathed in the silvery glow of moonlight through the window reflecting memories of the couple that once resides in the room. A soft lamp illuminates title of a book on the table, where a bookshelf now stands in place of an old sofa, like this there are few more minor changes that can catch anyones eye. Seated on the bed, a figure grapples with deep thoughts, sensing the haunting familiarity of change in a once-familiar space that now feels like a stranger.
Hridyansh's POV
The past year feels like a distant haze in my mind, as if it slipped away without a trace, leaving me in disbelief that a whole year of my life could vanish into thin air, devoid of moments or memories, like a forgotten scene from a film I never wanted to star in.
Lost in my thoughts,
I suddenly felt someone there
And
When I turned
I see her standing there
Yes, her.
Seeing her standing on a distance of 3 long strides my breath stopped, it felt like someone had taken out my heart and put it back instantly.
I got lost in her eyes
Which are looking moist.
Why?
As I became aware again, she embraced me firmly, as if her heartbeat had come back to life along with mine.
Subconscious mind: She appears even more attractive than she did before, though. What am I thinking?
What on earth is she doing here?
Doesn't she realize that I don't have feelings for her or refuse to acknowledge it?
I am not hers.
I am not someone to be fixated on like a personal possession.
But honestly, Who am I trying to fool, with someone who is always centered on herself?
Always lost in her fantasies, while everyone else means nothing to her.
I pushed her slightly.
Shravani's POV
I’m filled with joy; he’s awake.
We didn’t have the chance to spend time together. I was devastated when I learned about him, but now he’s alright. I’ll help him to recover fully.
Thoughts raced through my mind as I made my way to our room.
I knocked on the door.
Turned the handle.
Walked in.
And there he was, looking just as handsome and charming as ever.
I don’t understand what happens to my surroundings whenever I see him.
My heart stops for a moment
And
Then it races like it’s in a marathon trying to conquer all.
A tear rolled down my face.
Oh! Am I really crying?
This is only the second time in my life that I’ve cried since he entered my world.
Oh god!
I’ve never been one to cry.
I rushed towards him to embrace him.
Author's POV
She embraced him.
He stopped momentarily as if some cosmic energy was drawing him to her, yet instead he nudged her gently, just enough to cause a slight ache in her heart.
"why... why are you pushing me?"
She asked being a bit hurt.
"Are you unaware?" He said in disbelief.
"Oh! About our last argument where I refused to give you a kiss, but you look so adorable that I can't help but laugh.I apologize if it hurts you."
She says laughing softly while whispering the apology as softly as humming a lubally.
"What...what are you talking about? Why would I ask you for a kiss, and who do you think.. you are to me?
Hold on a moment, what are you doing here?
For the past years, you've been pursuing me. How many times do I need to say that I am not interested in you?
I do not love you!
Why are you so eager for my affection?
I was right; you have always behaved this way."
He stopped for a moment to take a deep breath after launching verbal arrows as all the eventing of his life are spinning in his head.
'Why does my heart ache when I say this? What is happening to me?'
"What are you talking about?Don’t you care about me?" She inquired, searching deeply into his eyes for any signs of doubt after hearing those words from him.
"No."He replied sternly.
"But…" He cut her off saying
"But what?
Huhh, Why are you pursuing me when I’ve made it clear that I don’t have feelings for you?
Huh! You’ve been pursuing me for years, but don't you understand this little thing in your peanut size brain.
You are always living in your own world thinking that I love you.
In your imagination! I can’t figure out why you’re saying things like this, and why are you suddenly silent?
You’re a rude, arrogant, and selfish person. How could I possibly love someone like youuu?"
He replied agressively in one breath.
She was taken aback.
'How could I possibly love someone like you?'
These words give deep wounds.
"No! No! Pl....please, don’t...don't say that!"
She murmured through her tears.
"Why not? You've always been like this, asking for what you want without ever considering other people's feelings."
"You don’t recall our moments together."
She whispered choked.
"I certainly remember, but I'm also aware of how you were; nothing must have changed in the last year."
'He doesn’t recall us.
He only remembers the times when I meant nothing to him.
Has he lost his memories?
Or worse has I lost him?'
She was lost in contemplation, pondering where this was headed and why he was speaking like that.
"I'm not like that anymore; you know me better than anyone."
She tried once again.
"Yes, I know how self-centered you can be, but I’m not interested in that.So please, leave and don’t come near me."
He said irritatedly.
"Okay, I... understand you don’t remember anything, but don’t you feel anything....anything when I'm around?" She asked being fully conscious to hear his words.
"No, I don't want to feel anything and I don't intend to. Therefore, I kindly ask you to leave my room."
He pointed towards the exit.
"Please, I'm begging you not to say such things; I can't live without you."
She said in desperation.
"However, I wish to live without you in peace.So, please leave."
He replied firmly yet calmly.
"B....." He cutted her off.
"I told you to go; don't you grasp such a simple thing, huh?" He roared.
"Alright" Whispered blankly
‘Why do I feel like I've shattered something valuable?
And why was she acting so kind when I know her true nature?
My mind is becoming mess minute-by-minute.
Aaahhh!! I don't understand what to do.
How to believe someone whom I hated with the core of my heart.
Whatever, I just want to rest.
