Cold Hearts

Chapter 6

*Pia Pov*

"Shh... Pia! Don't cry please." Nikki said sitting beside me on my bed.

"Then.. what else.. should I do?" I asked looking at her between my sobs.

"He is not worth of these tears Pia." She replied.

"I should have not fallen for him and should have come out of the crush way back. This is all my fault." I said and more tears started to flow.

"No! It is mine and Arthi's fault as we were on back of you to find your actual feelings and all. We shouldn't have and Arthi just stepped out of line than me." She said scowling.

"I don't want to be angry on anyone. I just want to cry and forget this." I said lying down.

"Well looks like that is not happening as I saw you are crying for more than one hour." We heard Sushant saying from my room door.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him sitting up.

"Are you angry at me Pia?" he asked frowning and sat infront of me.                       

"Ofcourse I am. You all know that I like him all these years but you didn't say anything in these two years at all. If you had then I would have done something so that I am not in this situation. You promised me that you will protect me but you didn't." I replied looking down.

"I am sorry. But when he first told us we didn't believed him. Then we saw the likeness for him in your eyes every time we saw you after that. It was very difficult to ignore the fact that you actually like him." He said lifting my chin.

"Now it is not about the liking. I love him and he is saying I don't. If he had told me that he doesn't like me back then I would have cried for few days and maybe forgot him. But when he is saying that I don't even love him it is hurting more." I said closing my eyes.

"I believe that you love him. We all know that and it is very easy for us to know too by the way you saw him after entering the house today. He is just trying his best to not believe it." Sushant said rubbing my cheeks to push away the tears.

"Am I an open book?" I asked opening my eyes.

"Yes! And that is not a bad thing at all." He replied smiling sadly.

"But I am still angry with you. I will not tie 'Rakhi' for you this time." I said smiling a little.

"I am hurt Pia. Do you know how much important they are for me?" he said placing his hand on his heart dramatically.

I smiled a little more and heard Nikki saying "Finally you are smiling. Don't cry again and I am staying here for few days for you. I will go and inform my Mom."

After she left Sush looked at me and asked "Are you angry at Arthi too?"

"Yeah! But she is younger than us so I kind of understand her thinking. Her intention is right but the path she chose was wrong." I replied rubbing my eyes.

"She is thinking that you are so angry that she can't face you." he said.

"I will talk to her later. For now I don't want to deal with anything." I said again lying down.

"There are so many tears waiting for to fall down right." He said looking at me seriously.

I nodded and said "I can't help it."

"Then cry! Cry everything out but after that move on with fresh thoughts." He said getting up.

"It will take time." I said looking at him.

"Then take it. No one will say anything to you." saying this he left my room and at the same time Nikki entered my room.

"Mom said ok." She said and lay down beside me.
