Chapter 44 - Lost... (2)

||Innaya||

"What's wrong with you?"

I had to move mobile away from my ear, to save my eardrums from damaging. Why she had to scream so loudly? Did she plan to get me deaf?

"Nothing," I replied, tapping my fingers on the railing of our bedroom's balcony. It was Sunday, a week after that incident in the café. I had been trying to convince myself with numerous possibilities, yet my heart and mind did not believe.

"Seriously? You want to play dumb with me." Siya's angry voice did nothing but made me feel guiltier for ignoring her. I sighed heavily.

Why was I getting upset over something I was not so sure off in the first place?

'You just do not want to accept and face the reality.' That tiny voice spoke in my mind.

"Siya... it's nothing." I just wanted to stop this interrogation. There was no need for others to meddle into my matters, even if that was my best friend.

"Care to explain your sudden departure from that café last week. Also, do explain me the tension lines on your forehead. Don't you dare lie?" Siya lowered her voice, once she detected the resigned tone of mine.

I knew this was coming and I had tried hard to avoid this.

"Innaya, I know something is bothering you. If you are not willing to share it now, then I will not force you. However, do not keep it bottled up. You know what happens when you stress yourself."

Best-friend. They understand everything.

"Eshan is treating you well, right? He isn't hurting you, is he?" She questioned concernedly.

"I'll call you later." I disconnected the call before she could say anything.

Why was she so insistent about inquiring this question? Every time she asked about how he was treating me, why was she so doubtful? I wished I could just somehow read her and Eshan's mind. The two important people in my life were fully intending to mess up my mind with their behaviour and actions.

I slid down on the ground clutching the mobile to my chest. I dragged my knees close to my chest and rested my head over them. I couldn't understand how my life suddenly took drastic turn. Everything was confusing, I had so many questions, and I was not able to find their answers.

Everything was atleast going well but, now nothing was good. I felt lost with all the recent developments around me. Most importantly they all revolved around one person. Eshan.
