FORGIVEN YOU

We've planned this camping only for 4 days.

3 days have already been completed and today's the final day.

We took some group photos.

It's the final night of our vacation.

I was roaming around here and there.

Some footsteps seems to be approaching towards me.

When I turned back, I was a bit surprised by seeing sashank coming towards me.

But i didn't care about it.

" What's the matter?" I asked.

" Shall we have a talk?" He asked.

" About what?" I asked.

" About everything" said sashank.

We two sat on a rock for a small talk personally.

Sashank tried to hug me( friendship hug I mean ).

But i pushed him( thank God I missed that friend ship hug).

" So gross, I'm a boy dude, when have you changed your gender?" I asked.

" Stupid! It was like a friend ship hug" sashank said.

" what has gotten to you suddenly? " I asked.

" I..... shouldn't have done that to you" he said.

" You mean the hug? " I asked.

" Idiot! I mean the letter" sashank said.

" Don't remind me that now, if i remember it now, I'll kick you so badly then" I said.

' At that time.... I betrayed you and proposed her you feelings as mine, but I was not upto the love that was present in the letter, I don't deserve her at all, I might have broken up due to fear on my mother, but i don't suit her at all, I know you are still loving her, I've thought about you few hours ago, I've understood how much pain you've been through after observing her condition now, I realised I've done wrong things all the time, but you still treated me as you friend and invited me here, i betrayed you and even her, and about that letter, i have told it was not written by me, but still I've not told you written it, if sorry's not enough for you, what should I do then? Should I say the truth that it was written by you? " asked sashank.

" Never do that, i have my own ways to say to her, I'm waiting for the right moment, please don't interfere atleast now, I have forgiven you for now, but I still have anger on you left in me, to nullify that anger, you must and should do 2 things:

1) Apologise to aira sincerely and genuinely

2) Atleast treat that unknown girl better and love her better" I said.

" Not unknown girl, she's lusi" sashank said.

" Lusi? That's a very sweet name indeed" I said.

" Yeah! Thanks for forgiving me so easily" sashank said.

" It's not too easy, 1st condition might be a bit easier than the second, but for the second, you should do it life long" I said.

" Fine" sashank said.

" Ok! Go! Go sleep with your lusi" I said.

" What the heck? " sashank asked.

" I mean sleep beside her(lusi)" I said.

" Let's settle lusi's matter later, now i should deal with aira" said sashank.

" Go then" I said.

Except lusi, everyone are awake.

But they all haven't seen our talk, I mean they've seen but not listened to it.

They were a bit curious about what we were talking.

But still, aira seems to be not care about that matter, she's lost in her own thoughts.

Sashank went to aira.

" Aira!" Sashank called.

" What?" Aira questioned with bit rough tone.

" I'm.... sorry.. aira, I never genuinely loved you, I know i disappointed you many times and made you feel sad, but you haven't gotten that much angrier on me just because you love me, but the reason you started loving me is because of that letter, I've never written any letters to this date, but I can't tell who written it too, I'm sorry aira, i really am" said sashank.

" Even if you try to say who's written that letter, I'll never listen to you, I'll find him myself, I'll never fall to your lies again, never ever, just think of this as i accepted your apology and... please go away" said aira.

Everyone were not shocked after seeing that change in sashank's character.

Sashank waken up lusi and made an announcement on that night itself, that on ( feb 23, 2023), he'll marry that unknown girl( lusi ).

It's just day after tomorrow.

We all cheered up a bit except for aira.

Our vacation has finally ended.

In this short span of time, I've gotten a bit more closer to aira.

........ON FEB 23......

We all went to his wedding, it's at night.

Except aira, every one else have came.

I thought aira will not come that day, but I was wrong.

She just looked like an angel straight out of the heaven.

Her taste in dress selection is just so perfect.

She came to me.

" Do I look good?" Aira asked.

" Yeah! Good, really good" i somewhat stopped myself from appraising her beauty a lot.

" Thanks for that" she said.

" I thought you'll not come" I said.

" I don't plan on coming, but all of you have came, it would be worse if only I was absent, in that too marriage is a special event, so i came" aira said.

" Fine, let's get in" I said.

The entire event was good, but when sashank was trying the sacred thread to lusi( the ritual of Indian marriage ), aira looked very depressed.

Seeing her being sad killed my happiness that was there until then.

I tried to console her.

" Now you are officially free from the pain " I said.

" But it's a bit hard to digest " aira said.

" Everything's going to be okay" I said.

We both have faced kind of a similar pain, but I faced it longer, I don't want her to be like me.

It very much seemed like we both are kind of our of pain.

Very very soon, I'm going to confess her my feelings.
