Chapter 9: The Way Out

                                    

                                          

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
I called him out of his class, and he came out to listen, Thankfully.
 " What now?", he said abruptly.
" Rashmi Ma'am was calling you for practices" I said ,
 because I knew if I went straight to that topic he'll go back to class . 
" I'll follow with my notebook, you proceed", he said and went in the classroom.
 I waited for him to come, but when he came , instead of saying anything, went straight towards staircase. 
" Dhruv, listen, I don't know how to make you believe, but I was with Nia, not Shaurya ."
" I don't want to talk about that" 
" You want proof, I can show you the bill of the dress I bought , it says paid by Nia Sharma" I said as I showed him the bill. 
" And can't two people go to the same store at the same time, there were many people over there, does that mean I went there with everyone?"
"I am really sorry Sanya, I ....... I don't know how could I even think of you like that, I ...... I am actually stupid".
" Keep that to yourself now, I can't be with someone who doesn't even trust me".
" Sanya!!! You know I never want to hurt you, I was just insecure, I know I am replaceable by Shaurya ".
" So, you'll think that low of me".
" Sanya, you know I am such an idiot , I just don't hear myself when I am angry, and when I was told you went to lifestyle with Shaurya, I was really furious". 
" Wait, you were told, unbelievable, you let a third person come and say something to you and you believed them and not me, like you really trust me that much". 
" I don't know what happened to me , my insecurities took over my trust".
" By the way, who talked this rubbish into you?".
"Deeksha".
" I am going to kill this Deeksha, how dare she said this, and you literally believed her from this whole world her?"
" I am so sorry Sanya, but please kill her later, and if you want, me too, but right now we should go to Rashmi Ma'am , otherwise we'll not be able to get the Award this time" we both laughed and went to ma'am. 
But, before that I went to Aditi and told the truth to her, because I didn't wanted anyone to think bad about Shaurya or me, and definitely she was my best friend , so I didn't wanted her relationship to be ruined, and I knew Deeksha only talked rubbish into her as well, and I can't let her win, because what she is trying to do is " DIVIDE AND RULE " and even if there is a disagreement in our group, I can't let others say anything about us, we as friends will stand for and stay by each other , no matter what.
 And for a matter of fact, I knew Aditi may or may not trust Shaurya over Deeksha but will definitely trust me. So, I went to her and told the truth to her, she was really upset about the fact that she didn't trust me and Shaurya and was furious at herself that she believed that stupid Deeksha.

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
Sanya and I had a conversation which , although didn't came to a conclusion, at least made one thing clear, Sanya didn't lie to Aditi, so who did? The only way to know that was talking to Aditi, so I went to the library (where we use to practice after formal practices) , but couldn't find Aditi there so sat at our usual round table and there Abhinav came to me
 " Hi, bro".
"Hi , Abhinav" .
"Bro , this is for you " he said while he sat on the chair next to me and handed me a chit. 
" Sorry!!!!!! :)" ,the chit said. As I looked up to talk to Abhinav about this, I saw Aditi waving at me from the door, she came to me and said
" Sorry Shaurya, I was really stupid to think that about you and Sanya , it was so stupid of me to trust that Deeksha and yell at you like that, I am so sorry for that" 
" Deeksha? She said this to you and you trusted her? And wait, how did you change your mind?"
" To be honest, Sanya told me the truth, but even I thought that you can't do this, but you know how insecure am I ? So, I believed Deeksha, I am soooo sorry Shaurya".
" It's okay, Aditi" I said as I gave her a side hug. 
"It was so nice of Sanya to take care of my image in Aditi's eyes and told her the truth without saying" I thought to myself.

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
Will this be what actually happens? Will Shaurya realize that he loves Sanya? Or will they end up with their current partners? What does the destiny hold for our characters? How will the differences between Sanya and Shaurya solved? What roles does their different friends play in their lives?
