Regret

Next day,Sandriya woke up and got ready to school.She had her breakfast and started walking towards her school.Without Jonathan the walked seemed to be a very long one.After walking for about 20 minutes she reached her class and sat on her desk.The seat next to her was empty.She sighed.

"Why isn't he not here?Is he still angry?"In a few minutes class started.About half an hour into the lecture...

"Excuse me sir"a voice was heard from the entrance of the class.

"Jonathan.Why are you late?"the teacher questioned.Hearing his name Sandriya immediately looked at entrance.

"Sorry sir.I had to go to the hospital"

"Why?Is something wrong?"the teacher inquired.

"Yeah sir.I accidentally hurt my hand when holding a glass."he said as he stretched out his hand wrapped in bandages.

"Is it fine now?"

"Yes sir"he replied.

"Okay then.Go and sit in your place and be careful next time."

Jonathan nodded and walked towards his seat.He paused when he saw Sandriya seating on his desk.Through her eyes he could tell she was worried about what happened to his hand.But without hesitation he simply walked past her and sat on a desk at the last.Her face dropped.Seeing her dull expression

"Don't worry.You can go ask him during lunch.Okay"Fredrick said.

"Mm"she nodded her head.She was no longer listening to her lecture.Her heart was elsewhere.

Soon it was time for lunch.She hurriedly took her lunch box and ran to the ground.Usually he would be sitting in the basketball court.But today he was not there.So she searched some random places like the sports room,auditorium,cafeteria etc.,But he was not there either.

"Sandriya.Wait"she stopped when she heard Fredrick's voice.

"Still didn't find him?"he asked.

"No."

"Come.I think I know where he is"he said as he grabbed her hand and lead her towards the stairs.After 5 minutes they reached the roof of the building.

Jonathan was sitting on the floor with his back rested against the wall and his eyes closed.Sandriya immediately ran to him and checked his wound.

"What happened?"she asked her eyes becoming teary.

Hearing her voice...

"Its nothing.I dropped a glass dish on the floor and when I tried to pick it up I accidentally cut myself a few times.Don't worry its nothing"he answered calmly.He gently opened his eyes.

But as soon as his eyes landed on Fredrick,his calm expression vanished.His eyes became cold.He pushed her away.

"Didn't I tell you,I don't need you anymore.Don't you ever come near me."he said clutching his hand.His wound was starting to bleed due to the pressure.

"Jonathan.Stop it.You are hurting yourself."Sandriya pleaded.

"Why do you care?You are a nobody to me.Stop bothering me"he said before leaving the scene.He was hurting her more and more with his words now.She knelt to the ground sobbing.

"Sandriya.Calm down please.Everything will be alright.I shouldn't have come.I should have let you talk to him alone.I'm sorry"

"No Fred.Its not your fault"she said wiping her tears."If he doesn't need me,then fine I don't want him either.I won't bother him.I can't hate him all of a sudden.Though it was only for a short period,I loved him and cared for him truly.So it will take time for me forget him.But I will learn to forget him."Sandriya said.Her tears stopped flowing.She stood up"I am not gonna cry for him again.Everything ends here"She sighed heavily before wiping a tear that rolled down her chin.Her heart was heavy.She didn't wanna end it like that.But if he doesn't want her,then there is no reason why she should hold on.

"But Sandriya-"

"There is nothing more to talk in this"she said and started walking downstairs.

"Merissa.Don't you think its indecent to read other's diary?"Sandriya asked as she entered her room.

Merissa was stunned.Was it evening already?

"I-"Merissa shuddered.Sandriya snatched the diary from her hand.

"Next time,I won't let you off easily.So if I hit you,don't tell I didn't warn you"her tone was really furious.Merissa gulped nervously.

"Sorry"She replied in a low tone.

"You better be"Sandriya said as she walked to her study room with the diary in her hand.

"If I ask her what happened next,she won't hesitate to kill me.So I will let her calm down a bit"Merissa thought to herself.

After a day of work,Sandriya was really tired.So she went to take a shower.After that the two girls proceeded to have dinner.Neither one said a word the whole time.After dinner,Sandriya went to her study with a few files in her hand.She made a few calls to Mr.Adam about their program the next day.Merissa was sitting in the bed,looking at her instagram.But her mind was thinking what would have happened next.

It was around 11:30 pm when Sandriya came out after finishing her work.

"You are still awake?"she asked her friend.

"Yeah.Not feeling sleepy"Merissa replied.

"Hey Sandy.You are not mad now are you?"she tested.

"No why?"

"Are you tired?"Merissa questioned again.

"No."Sandriya looked at her friend with a confused expression.

"Then...Can you tell me what happened next?"

Hearing that Sandriya became silent.

"Are you that curious?"She asked her friend.

"Yes...Are you gonna tell me then?"

Sandriya let out a smile"Okay"

"We stopped talking.With each passing day,we walked a step away from each other.I wasn't happy to the least bit.I was sure he wasn't happy either.The only person who was supporting me was Fredrick.During these days,sometimes I even thought of giving Fredrick a chance.But I can't betray my best friend"Sandriya paused.

"What happened?"Merissa was really curious.

"It had been nearly 2 months since we stopped talking.Even if I tried talking to him,he would walk away or tell something that would tear me apart.All these time I couldn't stop loving him.But everytime I cried,Fredrick was always there by my side.It was the second of September...."

"Sandriya.Can we go out somewhere?"Fredrick asked all of sudden.

"Can we all go then?You,me,Cathy and Elena"Sandriya asked.

"....I was thinking if we could go alone"he said with a little hesitation.

"But-"

"Please"he asked again.

"Hm...okay.Lets go this Saturday.Is that fine?"

"Okay"he said excitedly...

"Don't tell Cathy and Elena.Okay.Its a secret"

"O...ok"she hesitated a little before answering...
