Awkwardness...

“I missed you...” Avneet whispered breaking the silence.

Siddharth looked at her in shock he didn't assume her first words to be that.

It felt good to hear that. He couldn't form the words to reply... He opens his lips to say something but she cute him off...

“We have come so far... We were just kids back then,” she said and Sid nodded.

“Right, we were just kids...” he repeated... His voice was low. He remembered how careless, and fun they were before.

“You never asked me why I changed so much! Were you not surprised looking at this new me? Do you not miss the old me?” She asked him looking at the sky.

It was almost afternoon, it was so hot. The sky was clear with the sun shining its bright. Nothing was too spectacular, it was just a normal day, but she felt peace being there with him.

“If I am honest, I was very surprised. I mean how can a person change so much? Not only your looks, your style, attitude, personality...

Everything changed just in a few years. It was not like I hated the fact you changed...

But I hated that I was feeling you went through something horrible which made you like this.

I know maybe I was wrong because change is part of life... People mature with time... Maybe it was the case with you.

I had many questions, but I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable when we met after like years... I thought everything would be ok soon!

But you didn't seem okay” he whispered the last part which was inaudible to Avneet.

Avneet smiled realising how much he cared for her. She was a bitch to ignore this man, who did everything for her.

“Thank you!” She said.

“Why?” he asked raising his eyebrow.

“For understanding! Not asking me anything, for being my best friend!” She said.

“Hmm” Siddharth let out a dry chuckle. Yeah! He was again friend-zoned by her!

“Siddharth there is something I want to tell you... I think you should know...” she said nervously...

Yeah, it was time!

“Hey, are you okay?” He asked as Avneet was so nervous that sweat buts formed on her forehead.

“yeah I am,” she said assuring him.

She didn't take her antidepressants yesterday, of course, she was going to have effects. She was feeling weak all of a sudden as nervousness took her over.

“Hey, do you want to go back? You don't seem good!” he asked he was tense seeing her in that condition.

“I am fine. Please let me say it today! I won't be able to say it if not now!” she said taking a deep breath.

Siddharth nodded. Even though he was worried, he knew she wouldn't budge before telling him what she wanted to tell.

Siddharth maybe had a hint of what she was going to say! Maybe he read it in her eyes, maybe he just knew from her way of talking.

“Sid... I like you, I think I have feelings for you,” she whispered out finally.

Yeah, she didn't say ‘love’, it would have been too much for the first confession... Love is a big word you can't just say it to anyone!

Yes, he wasn't just anyone... She was her everything. And she knew she loved him. But it was still too much for her... She couldn't say it. At least not before telling him the whole truth.

Siddharth couldn't believe she said it. He never thought she would, he had feelings for her for so long, he couldn't say it in words. But she did!

Even though she didn't say ‘Love’, it was ok for him. For him just her efforts were everything.

“Avneet... I... I... Never thought... I... Can't believe...” he stutters. He was too overwhelmed to speak.

“I know it's too much to take in since we never really had a proper conversation since we met again. But I want to have a proper conversation today! Let's talk things out like a mature person.” she said looking at the sky again. Sid looked at her...

She gained courage as he looked at the handsome face in front of her... He was happy! She knew he loved her... He didn't have to say it out loud. At least not now!

“You know, I don't even know when I started liking you! I just remember a teenage girl who had a crush on her best friend and was too scared to say it,” she said.

He was shocked... He never knew she liked him since back then. He was so stupid! If only he confessed his feelings before... Maybe they would have been something more than friends today.

“I didn't know you liked me too... I was so shy back then. I couldn't ever confess... Maybe because I was scared.” Sid said

“We were silly!” she let out a dry chuckle looking at him.

“We were...” he whispered.

“When I left... I was so sad but also excited to pursue my dream... To do the thing which I always wanted to...”  he voice almost cracked as she remembered what her dreams were... And how everything is now just shattered.

A lone tear escaped her eye! Which didn't go unnoticed by a man who was deeply in love with her.

“You can still pursue them! I will help you... You can...” he said as he realised maybe she wasn't comfortable talking about it anymore. He tried to console her.

But he was cut off by pair of lips. Yes, she smashed her lips on his... A soft yet passionate kiss...

He was shocked, his body felt numb... Her lips were soft and moving with his in just a perfect way.

None of them fought for dominance... Both had craved for each other for so long. They just wanted to feel each other's presence.

Events hand slid on his neck as he deepens a kiss. A moan yelped her lips but that didn't stop them.

Siddharth’s hand was about to touch Avneet’s waist but he stopped himself as he remembers their last kiss.

He slows down the kiss as Avneet was panting due to lack of oxygen.

“Let's get to know each other better!” she said before kissing his left cheek.

Hey guys!

How was the chapter?

I hope you like the confession!

I know it wasn't the most romantic confession.

I wanted it to be simple and realistic, I wanted them to talk things out maturely instead of something too big! I hope you guys liked it :)

I am so sorry for not updating for so long. Someone was asking me to post for so long and I was going to post yesterday only like someone requested, but I just couldn't manage :(

I was kinda disappointed in the response in the recent chapter too. But it doesn't matter because I write for myself. After all, I enjoy it and for the people who love and appreciate my work. Yes, sometimes it disappoints me but it obviously can't stop me ;)
