5 | His Love|
--Avneet POV--
After that day I never saw Abhay again and I'm grateful for that. Today was the day I was going to meet Siddharth again and I don't know why but I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I told my mom, I was going out with some friends and as much as I hate lying to my mom I had to, I mean what was I supposed to say? 'hey mom I'm going to meet a killer all alone in the woods who also happened to kill 2 of my classmates.' yeah, no way. In case anything happens I'll just bring some pepper spray and keep my phone charged. I take a deep breath to compose myself before exiting my home and heading towards Siddharth's hideout I believe. Surprisingly I remember the way, I did take a few wrong turns here and there but I eventually got to my destination. To my surprise, I saw Siddharth waiting for me with hope written all over his face, once he saw me his eyes gleamed with joy like a child who got his first lollipop. Siddharth was wearing a fancy suit with a black tie, he looked very decent very.....innocent for a moment there I couldn't believe he was the one who killed 2 of my classmates.
Sidd: You came
Sidd said to me not bothering to hide the big childish smile on his face. He really thought I wouldn't come, I kind of feel bad for him he just looks so naive right now I can't help but smile back at him.
Avu: Wouldnt miss it for the world
I said to him honestly. Sidd takes my hand and guides me into his tree-house like home. Once I enter I'm met with a beautiful scenario of a small dining table with a few heart shapes drawings on the floor and the lights dimmed. I let out a gasp at the simple yet perfect arrangements Sidd did for me.
Sidd: I know it's not much I-
I cut him off by giving him a bear hug which caught me and him both off guard, I didn't mean to hug him but I just felt like I needed him to know that all of this was more than enough for me. Sidd hugged me back and held me like he's seen me after years and doesn't want to let me go. Soon after we started eating and talking about our lives.
Avu: Once in middle school I dumped a bucker of water on this boy who was saying how handsome he is.
I tell Sidd while rolling my eyes at the memory.
Sidd: You know, there was this girl......who I loved more than anything.
He said out of nowhere. I looked at him in sympathy because I felt like this was related to something sad. Even though I didn't want to ruin this fun moment, I had the need to comfort him.
Avu: What happened to her...?
I say scared of the answer I might get.
Sidd looked at me....hurt and broken. He bit his lip as if to stop himself from crying which didn't seem to work, he broke down in front of me tears uncontrollably rolling down his face.
Avu: Hey, look at me.
I kneel down beside him and lift his face up for him to look at me in the eye.
Avu: We don't have to talk about it, but I'll be here for you alright?
Wow Avneet, good job. You're going to comfort a criminal now, to be honest, I don't even know if he even is a criminal he's just too sweet to sensitive for all this my heart was telling me to stay with him and comfort him but my mind was telling me that I'm just walking into his trap. Eventually, my heart won over my mind and I stood there by his side as promised.
Sidd: Im sorry for ruining this for you, you were supposed to be here to have fun not deal with my emotional drama.
Sid said to me with guilt-filled in his voice.
Avu: No no no no. It's fine, in fact, I appreciate it I like how you can open up to me. If you want you can talk to me about it.
Sidd: Y-Yeah, I want to talk about it......please?
I gave him my sweetest smile ever and wiped his tears off then motioning to him that he can start talking.
Sidd: This- This girl....she was the definition of perfection. We knew each other since we were born, our families knew each other very well. We started off as best friends.....then lovers. I proposed to her to be my girlfriend and promised that when we become of age I'd marry her.
Sidd was looking down at particularly nothing while saying all this, a faint smile landed on his lips but that smile reflected sadness.
Sidd: We were in high school together. One day the school's fuck boy asked the girl for a one-night stand....he asked my girl for a one-night stand. She slapped him, in front of the whole school, I was proud of her for that.....but now every day I wished she didn't do that.
I visibly saw Sidd get angrier and angrier by the second. I held his hand and gave it a small squeeze calming him down almost immediately.
Sidd: The fuck boy was also rich, he had some goons follow us......t-they.......beat me and took her.
I was speechless, how could someone be so cruel. I brought Siddharth down and hugged him, his head was on my chest and my hands were on his head while soothing his hair. At this point, even I was crying. We stayed there for who knows how long. This was the moment I decided, criminal or not I'll be by his side forever.
