Manyata's POV
I ran to my room and closed the door before he could say anything else.
I threw myself on the bed and cried bitterly. How could he say so?? How could he even think so??
There was a knock on the door, it was Swati. She called my name thinking that I was sleeping. I went to the washroom and washed my face and eyes. I just wanted to go away from here without creating any fuss.
So I composed my self and opened the door with a yawn. Swati was looking extremely excited about something. She hugged me so hard that a tear threatened to come out of my eyes as she had become my very good friend. I loved her a lot. I wanted to feel her excitement but something had died in me.
She asked me why my eyes were still red?? I said that I still had that headache.
She dragged me out to have food. So that I could have the medicine.
Apparently, she was with Samar Ji, and he seemed to have told her about his feelings. I was happy for them. I tried to be happy for them but my mind was being stubborn and I could not think anything else.
I decided to end all this and go back to Delhi with Vikram Bhai.
Bhai came back to me and asked me if I was alright. I nodded and said that I had a headache. I couldn't tell him anything as he would have beaten Sahil like anything.
I didn't want to spoil the good, light and happy atmosphere into a tensed one. He gave me medicine.
We all had food. Everyone was having fun. They all were teasing each other. I kept looking downwards as I could have cried at the drop of a hat. I could feel, that Sahil was looking at me But I would not even give him a look now.
I was kind of engrossed in my thoughts and didn't even pay heed to what Swati was saying. Samar Ji also joined us and smiled at me but I couldn't even smile back at him.
A single tear came out of my eye. Which I wiped very fast but thankfully Samar Ji and Swati didn't saw that as they were smiling at each other.
After lunch, Sagar Ji and his friends went for a walk along with their wives. I went to my room saying that I was not well.
******
We had an awesome day there and then we came back.
Sagar Ji's friends were supposed to go back after lunch. Even Vikram Bhai was going, I wanted to go with them. But before that, I needed to talk to Sagar Ji.
Swati called me for the girls' gossip but I excused my self and said that I needed to talk to Sagar Ji.
I heard him saying earlier that he was going to his office for some urgent work.
I went to the office and was looking for Sagar Ji when I saw him going towards his room. I had to talk to him.
" Sagar Ji !! " I called him. He turned at looked at me.
" Sagar Ji, I need to talk to you. " he looked a bit surprised.
" Yes?? "
" Can we go somewhere ?? I mean I don't want anyone to hear. "
" Sure, come into the office. " He said and opened a door.
I went inside and he followed me.
" Yes, Manu?? What happened?? Are you fine now?? "
" I am ok Sagar Ji... Please listen to me... Sagar Ji, I want to go back home. "
" Home?? "
" I mean Delhi. I have my work. I have been neglecting it for so long, some assignments are lined up. "
" But how can you.... ? '
" Please Sagar Ji, I have had enough of this... I can't take it anymore. I don't want to be associated with Sahil in any way.
" Manu....? "
" You always say that I must trust you and give it another try... You are like my elder brother, so I agreed. But I have had enough. I don't even want to try anything. I don't want him in my life at all. As it is I was feeling guilty that I was lying. I don't want to lie to him or anyone. He might be a good person but we are not made for each other. "
" What are you saying? "
