Aria

"What the fuck are you doing here Aria?", He grunted.

He's angry?

The smile on my face dropped and was replaced by utter confusion.

"Shrey.. what'd you mean?", I whispered.

"I mean why the fuck are you here. I didn't ask you to come here then why did you?", He yelled again.

"Shrey at least let me in then we can talk about it", I said looking around so nobody could hear our shouts.

"Fuck! Come", he pulled my hand and shut the door.

"You didn't pick any of my calls shrey I got worried", I said standing in front of him.

"So? You randomly come here unannounced?", He was furious.

This is not the reaction I expected.

"Honey if this is about the matches it's okay baby it's not your fault. Don't be like this", I said stepping closer to him and placing my palm on the side of his face.

He pushed my hand away and walked off.

"Shrey..".

"Shut up! Just don't!"

"Baby..", my eyes filled up with tears.

"It's not okay aria. It's not. Everybody every fucking one is telling me it's okay. It's not. I expect someone to tell me something else. Anything else, But no", he yelled.

"Shre-", I was cut off by shrey's loud bang on the table. I flinched.

"The last thing I need is you also telling me the same thing Aria. I was avoiding your calls for a reason cause I didn't need more people telling me what to do what not to do".

"I have no idea why this is going like this. It feels like nothing is under my control. I don't expect you to understand aria".

"Please calm down honey we'll sort this out", I said slowly stepping forward towards him.

"We can't sort this out Aria. There's no WE here. I need to do this myself and I'm sick of people telling me that it's just not our season and I honestly don't need to hear this from you too", he sighed and sat on the bed.

I sat next to him and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not going to say anything you don't want to hear shrey. Just I don't know what to say here..", I sighed.

I honestly didn't know what to say.

We just sat there in silence until shrey cleared his throat.

"Leave aria", he said.

"I'm not going anywhere darling. I'm here for you. I told you I'm gonna be there for you in all your ups and downs no? I'm not going anywhere", I reassured.

"For once just once listen to me aria for god's sake please", he groaned, irritated.

"Okay..", I said tears coming back to my eyes.

"I don't want your drama right now. I have so much to deal with and You're just a distraction to me right now. Just leave. Please", he said getting off the bed.

"Shrey just let me stay for a couple matches and then I'll go", I tried convincing him.

"Ugh! Do whatever you want. Just don't be here in my room. Get another room or something", he said getting his jacket and wallet and walking out of the room.

What is happening to him? I can't believe the loss of his team is affecting him so much.

What happened to it being a sport and taking everything in a positive way.

Like I understand that he can take his anger out on me but he's not even ready to give it a chance and calm down.

I feel defeated.

I have no idea what to do. But I know that when he comes back and I'm still here in his room he'll get mad.

So I got myself and left and checked into another room on the same floor and called Deepak.

"Hey all fine?", He asked.

"No", I sniffled.

"Aria are you okay?", He sounded concerned.

"He asked me to leave deepak. He's taking the loss too much to heart and he's not listening to anything I'm trying to tell him", I cried.

"Hey hey don't cry Ari".

"I feel helpless deepak. I'm not able to do anything for him and I feel miserable for it"

"Where are you now?"

"I took another room. He asked me not to stay in his room", I said wiping my tears.

"It's okay give him some time. He'll realise and he'll come back to you. Stay strong okay", he said and cut the call asking me to rest.

Every hour I went to shrey's room to check to see if he's come back but no sign of him.

I called him a couple times but I realised he would get more annoyed if I don't give him his space.

I sent him a text asking him to get back from where ever he was but got no reply.

As time flew by I got more and more worried.

I called Deepak again.

"Deepak he's not come back yet", I said panicking.

"Calm down Ari. You freaking out in this situation will not help darling. If I could I would have gone out to search for him but we both know he's not a child right? He'll be back honey. Don't worry", he said trying to calm me down but nothing worked.

"You're right deepak but I can't help but get worried. He's never been like this before", I sighed.

"It's okay everybody has their own coping mechanism", he said.

That is true. I isolate myself if something happens to me too so I shouldn't be so worried right?

Ugh

"Okay I'll call you later Deepak", I said cutting the call.

It was way past one now and I was extremely worried.

I got thoughts about something happening to shrey. No no I can't think of this. I shouldn't be thinking of this.

He just probably went to get some fresh air and calm down.

He's probably in his room already sound asleep and I'm just freaking out for no reason.

I decided to go check his room one last time before calling him again.

I got up and walked out of my room and into the corridor headed towards shrey's room.

The door was slightly open so I knew he's finally come back.

Is he feeling okay? Will he get more mad seeing me there?

It's okay it's a risk I'm willing to take.

I slowly walked towards his room making no noise and pushed the door wider.

I saw his silhouette in the dark. The lights were off.

I walked inside his room again trying not to make any sound.

That's when he turned around and my heart stopped beating.

There was someone else here with him.

A girl.

Her back was turned to me so I couldn't see her face.

I could only see shrey's hands on her waist and her hands behind his neck.
Their foreheads touching and as shrey pushed her towards the wall, they moved more closer.

I could feel my heart aching.

His shirt was off and her hands kept roaming around his body.

The curtain flew due to the wind blowing from the windows and lit the room up only a little bit, enough for me to see who she was.

I was numb.

I felt nothing.

Everything around me shattered.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

There stood a person I never thought I would ever see again in my life.

I never thought I'll have to witness this again.

Held closely in shrey's arms was...

Laila.
