A/N : Not Proof Read !

_____

Varun stormed out of the house only to find a sobbing mess of a Teja on their doorstep . His heartached to see his bestfriend to be in this state and he hated the fact that he couldn't do anything to sooth this down. He gently pulled her into a hug and let her cry for sometime.

"I'm sorry d, Avan epdi ipdi react pananu enaku inum puriyala. And I'm sorry on his behalf, unta apdi pesunathuku okay. Pls d azhatha kashtama iruku" V said in a low tone that made her stop crying. "Enaku avana pakanum V ... Please " She told and he didn't know what to react .

"Seri va polam , ena nalum antha naai frnd ah poitan . Let's give him another chance but idk if I'm ready to talk to him" V told making her shake her head but she pulled his hands and went inside.

"Abishek..." She called slowly, her voice still filled with all the untold emotions making it a light whisper than she expected. Abishek's head whipped to her side in such a speed that he thought it might break. His heart pained to see her eyes red rimmed and her face all blotchy with crying, and he hated himself for making her cry this much .

He noticed V standing quitely beside her and he didn't know what to talk to him . Teja dragged Varun and made him sit next to Abishek and she made herself comfortable on the opposite couch . "Abishek ... Varun . Please enala neenga pesama irukatheenga. I want you guys to be as always, intha vishayam nala please don't drift apart. V you know how much your friendship with him means to me so please don't jeopardize it . Enakaga pls " she asked looking at both.

Varun let out a sigh and turned towards Abishek . And him who was all in a trance was more concerned to see her thinking about them before her . He was ready to do anything at all this point to make her happy. "Sorry da , idk enaku vera ena solrathuney but sorry" Abishek quickly said and hugged V making him a little surprised but he returned the hug though .

Teja was relieved to see those two back again in a good term and she now wanted to leave that's all she wanted . After both the boys broke the hug , Abishek wanted to talk to her but she beat him to it . "V ena knjm hostel la drop panidraya ... " She asked without looking at Abishek which crushed him . "Ma..." Abishek called her but she didn't want to lose again , not again she thought to herself .

"Teja , do you really want to go !?" V asked her a little worried. She didn't know what to answer ,she was in a hurry to leave a second before and now it all seemed to be a bad idea . Her mind spewed so much words at once and she was stuck in her whole loop . She stood there emotionless which made both of them concerned. Abishek was quick enough to snap out of it , "If she wants to leave , let her da ... " He said making V angry again and Teja to come out of her trance .

Before V could pounce on Abishek for letting go again , Teja beat him to it . "Wtf is your problem !? Avlothaan ah Nan unaku . That's all Am i to you ?! Really , avlo easy ah again thooki poda pora la " she asked with such intensity that her throat ached with every word . Tears strung her eyes and it flowed down smooth .

V let out a frustrated sigh and went up to his room not wanting to be there and also he didn't have it in him to see his bestfriends drift apart again. He went and plopped on his bed .

Down there , Teja was nothing less than an emotional mess and Abishek was no better . He clearly lacked words to sooth her and he thought she wanted space before they sit out to sort everything.

"Unaku matun en da puriyavey matikuthu... Apdi ena than nenachitu irupa ! Apa ena na , unoda dream , wish nu pona , Nan avlo aasai ah vanthen Abi unta Sola ana nee enta unoda kannula oru thayakathoda sona . Sethuten oru sec , nee pora nu sonathu nala illa , enta Sola nee avlo thayaka pattu , porathuku ten days munadi solrayae nu ! "

" I fucking love you damnit , then now and always. But how much dumb do you have to be to not see how I'm around you . "

" You were everything to me and nee ilame elame blank aagiduchi Abi and I couldn't handle it well ! It felt so fucking alone to be honest. Avlo kovam irunthuchi un Mela . Enoda kannula nee pakalaya da , didn't you feel it ! "

" Oney onu thaan kekuren , will you feel it for a second ! Nee ithu Vara atha feel panathu ila nalum , don't you see it now . Idk Abi , idk if our days will continue and if my tears will stop , but I really wish they do , cuz I can't handle it anymore being alone and feeling this way ! Say what you feel , I'll be okay with anything, even if the answer is " I'm not in love with you " I'll be happy to know it at least.

She said all those and stood there crying whereas he felt like he was shredded to pieces again and again . He couldn't fathom how much she loved him and how much she suffered because of it . He felt it was more than high time , she knows how much he loves her .

" Teja..." He called while coming in front of her and hugging her all of a sudden and it took her everything to not hug him back and break down . He sensed her being still and wanted to ease her .

"It took everything in me to say those words to you d , epdi Nan santhosham ah anga ponen nu nenaikara nee , I agree enaku apa terla nee ena love pana nu ana I am in love with you from the start . Unta Sola thayakam illa d , bayam , una ezhanthuruvano nu bayanthu kadasila athu nadaka nane reason aaiten d "

" I was dying every second without you there , without you d . Una nane thooram poga vachiten nu ena nane manikkala d ipa vara !"

" I was so in love with you that I became so blind to see the love in ur eyes . I was under the false pretense that I'll lose you if I told you how I feel . Nan solalana nee engayum poida mata nu nenachi , una lose panten d "

This somehow made her drop her anger and all she wanted was his warmth now and she embraced him in return starting to break down . He hugged her tight and continued to spill his heart out.

" I left myself with you and i went like a deranged man . Pona purpose ey teriyama suthunen knja naal aprm V thaan enta pesi enaku puriya vachan. Enoda dream nu thaan una vitu ponen atha panama epdi again un munadi poven nu ketan . But enoda ethuvumey enta ilatha mari thaan d irunthen anga . There was never a day where I didn't think about you Ma . "

" I know I have punished you by pushing away ana atha nan pandren ney teriyama panitu irunthen ma . Trust me athu enakum punishment ah thaan irunthuchi, you have always been my everything , you have been my right way , you have been my song , you still are my everything d . But I pushed you so far away that you hesitate to even hug me and trust me now , but I promise I'll get back what's Mine and I'll make you mine . "

" Unta Nan ipa kekurathu lam oney onu thaan ma , trust me one more time and give me the chance to redeem myself . If i really have any chance to go back in time and do it all differently I would in a heartbeat . But I want to do this with you , I want to start again fresh . Elame again venum d unkooda , will you give me that ! I'm sorry for hurting you , pushing you away and most importantly not seeing the love in your eyes , cuz now I do baby and it's so overwhelming. Thank you for holding onto me till now . I'll carry us forward and you can rest with me safely. I want to be with you and I'll prove it you baby pls give me a chance ."

" Sorry ma , azhatha d pls , kashtama iruku baby ! Nee ilama romba kashta patten thaan elame irutta irunthuchi , ethuvume happiness tharala ana nee ipdi azharatha sathiyama pakala mudiyala baby so pls stop crying and I'm sorry okay , I'm extremely sorry for making you go thru this love !

" I love you d , I love you so much that I forgot everything else in the world, all I need is your happiness. Ena vitu nee thoorama iruntha thaan happy ah irupa nenachi Nan thappu panten and I'm not ever doing it again . I'll grovel for howmuch ever you want but please please don't leave me baby ! I can handle anything but you leaving me ! So trust me one last time and give me a chance Baby ."

That's all she needed from him , she knew he loved her and she didn't understand why the fuck he would push her away. After knowing everything, she couldn't control herself and pulled him for a deep kiss and it took him surprise is the least one can say . He was too stunned to even reciprocate until he felt hot tears running against his cheeks from her eyes .

That pulled him out of his stunned phase and he pulled her close to reciprocate the kiss . It was not just a Kiss for them but all of their bottled up emotions of years . It was gut wrenching and soul soothing kiss for both . His tongue glided over her lip seeking for an entrance while his hands holded her waist for stability and her hands already found their way to his neck holding them tight .

She parted her lips for him and when his tongue found their way in , all the world caesed to exist for both of them . It sucked together to another land of ecstasy and both were drawn towards each other more like moth drawn towards light . Both struggled with their movements but was not ready to leave the other . After what seemed to be a eternity for her , she felt breathless and pushed a little away from him . Though it felt like a part of him was ripped he pulled away from her with his eyes still shut from the sheer pleasure of feeling her lips against his.

Both felt utterly shy and also there was so much excitement in the air that both visibly trembled . He opened his eyes to look at her struggling to hide her blood rushing cheeks and her teary eye . It was their first kiss afterall and both were overwhelmed.

Both parted away from each other and struggled to form words. It didn't feel awkward but it felt full of excitement that both didn't knew how to process .

He suddenly pulled her to him and kissed her forehead, making her tear up a bit . " I'm sorry baby " he said in a very low tone that he doubted she even heard it . " You are not the only one who is to be blamed here ra , nanum again una reach panavey try panama irunthuten and I'm so sorry for it . Nee sona mari , nanum unoda actions ah understand panikala . We both were dumb and blind to notice it and it costs us years . Thank you for not giving up on me too ra." She said breaking a little while he shushed her and said sweet nothings to ease her. And he wanted to make her better .

" Inum madam solavey ilayae" He teased and she knew what he asked about but acted dumb . " Enathu ..." She dragged while he tickled her a bit making her laugh and hit him slowly to stop . She hugged him tight and settled her head on his collarbone and said , " I love you Abishek , I always have and I always will . You are my everything and I have no idea of leaving you anymore. We have lost years already and I'm not planning on wasting anymore. Be mine Baby pls !" .

He chuckled and nodded his head making her tear up and laugh and they both hugged again . People don't need, cheesy confessions with more promises. All they want is the trust that they will be there to fulfill even the unsaid promises . And they both had that . They both felt and knew they won't let go of each other anymore and that was enough for them .

On not hearing any sound from downstairs, V ran down to know what happened within the fifteen minutes of his absence, he was mentally berating him for leaving them both alone . He really didn't want them to go away, but he felt the urge to leave them alone a bit . Praise the lord for it and it actually worked but poor V didn't know this and rushed down the stairs and was welcomed by the stunning couple hugging each other and he felt his head spinning.

He was too stunned by happiness to even react and He just wanted to fly out of the earth . But no best friend leaves the other to enjoy in peace for long and by the same mantra , he decided to know what happened when he wasn't there and he cleared his throat. Both Abishek and Teja were brought back to the earth by their bestfriend and was a little embarassed to face him now .

He cocked his eyebrows and both instantly looked at each other with a tinge of blush and a smile. "Oru fifteen mins thana da ponen , athukulla ena da ulagame thala keezha iruku !" He asked teasing them both. "Solten da elame !" Abishek said making V tear up a bit . He came running to the both and hugged then both .

"Evlo naal rendu peru ta pesurapayum onume Sola mudiyama , rendu peroda kashtathayum paathutu irunthen . To see you guys like this , it's all I wished . " He said with sheer happiness. "Thanks to you for holding us both these years da , nee Ilana naanga rendu perumey epdi irunthu irupom terla . V Ilana Abishek and Teja illa , ithu epayum Marathu V . We love you da " Teja said with such sincerity that V teared up a bit .

"We huh !" He teased to ease up the situation and both Chuckled. "Epayume we thaan ana athulayum neeyum undu ipa matum we love u nu vachiko da assh*le ! Abishek said hugging him more , feeling so much grateful to have him .

The new couple and their cupid cum bestfriend spent the rest of the time with reminiscing their days and V being V told every damn thing each other did for the other . And they really felt dumb to not notice it in the past . There were many instances that screamed love but as everyone say , ' Love is fucking Blind ' .

During the copper laden evening , Abishek and Teja were settled in the comforting silence in each other's arms . " Ipa paatha silly ah iruku , avlo vishayatha pakama vitu , ivlo years kashta pattu. There has been days when all i wanted was to run to your arms and cry for hours , but I'll just look at the sky and your pics to make my heart calm. Apa oru second yosichi unaku msg paniruntha kooda , nee apayae enkooda irunthu irupa la " he said with a yearning in his voice .

" We have been fools ra , ivlo aasai and love irukapa , atha express panama , time and moments ah tholachitom , but inime apdi iruka matom . And yeah enakum apdi neraya days irunthu iruku ! But ukw , I always found comfort in your pics , nee enkoodayae iruntha mari thaan iruku . So let's not talk about those anymore, we have a lifetime to live and I want us to enjoy it more baby !" She said with love and comfort , easing his overthinking mind .

"Life has wierd ways but I love our imperfect journey though it has major flaws !" He said kissing her temple and she sighed against his heart .

That marked the beginning of two lost souls who found each other again after struggles of being alone . As we all know , souls don't meet by accident . The right soul reaches its destined at the right time .

" I'll never finish falling in love with you baby !" He whispered. With a shy grin , " Trust me baby , you are my favourite feeling " she said making him blush and chuckle.
