Shravya is my only twin and stella being my close friend were now begging me for forgiveness. Her sibling invited himself to our trip. Tomorrow he will be landing.
We came here to have fun and enjoy the last two months of vacation for stella in Kanyakumari. Our aim is to spend two weeks in a nearby hotel and the rest in our late grandmother's house, which is only a 20 minutes walk from the beach. Now it seems our plans might not be as fun as expected. My only hope is for stacy to come. She will also be joining us tomorrow.
The pleasure and amusement of having salted sweetcorn and ice cream brings reminiscence of our families down the lane.
We snapped many photos as part of making memories.
Stella would be joining another school soon and our heart kind of broke for her. If only people knew how controlling her brother and my ex.boyfriend percy can become. I once tasted the abuse and it really still bewilders me.
"Heyy... Shreya, are you okay?..you seem a little dozed off" I just nodded my head in denial. The afternoon breeze was calming me a little bit down.
"It is about your brother...I should tell you this"...tears started strolling on it's own.."we ended.. things "
"I know....and I also know that my brother is dating Adithya's sister..what I don't know is that what is your plan with Adithya, why are you being weird around him?" She asked honestly with her eyebrows raised feeling really suspicious.Uhohh... confrontation time. Maybe I should just change the topic.
"Where is my sister?" I asked Stella as I crouched myself down wiping my tears away. Stella was standing opposite me leaning against another rock.
"Is that Justin? "Stella asked looking straight ahead making me intrigued. I peeped back and saw what shouldn't be seen in a million years. Nooo.Good lord, how am I going part them apart.
"Why the hell is he holding her hands??!!, what is his problem?" They were just a few centimetres away from us. She is really innocent.
"Geez, you have got to calm down..they are just friend, I'm sure she wouldn't do something like that to caleb"stella was trying to comfort me .I'm already annoyed about caleb. I quickly paced over and my brain was fuming.
"You!" I said pointing at Justin "Stay away from her!" ."And you come with me"this was an order for my sister who now looked like she was about to melt. Serves her right.I quickly grabbed shravya and plodded my way away from justin,away from the beach ,straight to the room.Once we entered, I closed the door behind us.
"Explain" I ordered.
"Shreya, I'm really sorry..I know why you are angry, I'm really sorry...it is just a whip of the moment, .. please don't say this to caleb , and it meant nothing" she is unbelievable, she has no idea..I don't really care about caleb. But good thing that she is alarmed.
"What the hell, shravya!! Caleb is not the right choice for you.. he is using you... and Justin?!, another one that is outside of our caste?" I wish I could say these to shravya, but that would ruin our bond.. which means, ultimately she would choose one of the boys and she can easily be manipulated!
"If it really meant nothing, then why do you care if I say anything to caleb or not!!" She started sobbing which made my heart ache. I cannot stand her crying.
"Shh...it is okay, just stay away from justin".I cooed her suddenly hugging her..."we will talk about this later " I said and decided to take a nap. She walked away with her phone, feeling really scared. She should be.
"Hey" I decided to turn my attention on Adithya who was taking a break from playing volleyball in the beach with his friends. It was evening. He was spinning the ball with his index finger.
"Do you have a death wish?" He said while ceasing up what he was doing.His fierce glare that was aimed at me could pierce even a broken soul.
"Maybe I do" I said leaning closer to his ears mustering my courage.
He pushed me away once again.
"Shreya, bad news" stella suddenly came running towards me from behind Adithya's posture.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It is my brother..he saw our photos from Instagram, and he said that he is getting engaged with Adithya's sister, hence you should keep the real reason for your break-up a secret, otherwise he said that he would post your most intimate pictures online.." she said sobbing more perceptible for the one standing near me to hear. He turned around.His serious gaze is definitely scaring her. He suddenly took off his black sunglasses off and went into a face that I couldn't decipher like yesterday night. Wow this is new.
I was absolutely unaffected by percy's threat. I mean it doesn't mean that one should never be completely unaltered by him, he is really viscious and horrifying.
"So what is the reason?" He asked crossing his arms around his chest. He was instantly interested in me. I just decided to ignore this question and move on to another topic.
"Oh..it is really nothing.." he raised his eyebrows and came closer to me.
"If it is something regarding my sister , you better say it, otherwise you will be in big trouble." Normally this would be the perfect time to imprint a kiss for this fierce threat. But since my last attempt was a failure, I gulped and chickened myself out. He's scary!!
I would rather let percy take the test of time with his attribute of perils rather than explaining everything to Adithya. He is still a stranger to me.Regardless,we never shared any tender times together to be petrified about. Why would percy lie about something like that with stella. What a manipulative horror. Thank God I'm free.
We girls were strolling through the shores of the beach accepting the frosty air that is being sucked in by the rustling waves of cold sea. The light from the fire tricked the darkness of sky.
The campfire was about to start and I could hear the sweet male voice singing "te amo" from a bollywood movie and it really thawed my heart away. I saw him performing while simultaneously playing guitar with a smile that melts even thousand suns. So innocent . He was wearing a black shirt and ash colored pants. His hair being perfectly dishevelled.He was rendering as if his sweetheart was directly visible on the spot among his audience piercing right through my heart.No wonder people call him the legendary king of music.His passion for music echoes throughout his voice.It was done with proper etiquette. And sexy. Please; just once gaze at me...and he did as if he heard my soul's yearn.Why is it that my heart is beating so fast. I could see his smile vanishing, his pupils suddenly dark and his face being dead serious. Just like that obscure face from before.Maybe I should just tear down my vengeance towards percy!!! I can't just let myself be in love with someone who is way out of my league. Pure chasing is more dangerous than raw courting. The more I look at his eyes the more I want him.
