Steev's POV :
After listening to me Shika quickly replied to me even without doubting about whatever I said. There I felt she had built that trust in me. And I needed to protect that at any cost.
" Yes Steev, you are right. I need to meet her and do what you have told me right now that would be perfect. if you don't mind is it possible for me to meet her today self it would be great if we clear everything today however almost 70% of work is done talking to you and sharing everything with you itself was the main thing for me and now there is second most important thing pending to do and I have to complete it so is it ok if you call John and they both could come over here right now? " , said Shika. " Yes definitely I can do that but I feel in when you talk to Sophia it's better that you both could be all alone instead of us being there with your what say?", I said. " yes may be your right I have no problem with you and John being with us but you are telling me this so without having any second thought I will do whatever you said but where you and John will go if Sophia comes here?", Said Shika. "Shika, you do not worry about that we could be anyway we can have a nice conversation about how everything went well please do not worry about that I will call John right now I think so fear would be with him itself.", I said. after that I clicked John's contact and called him. "Hey John, please come home quickly. " , I said. " What happened? is everything alright? " , asked John. "Yes everything is alright do not worry at all. Everything went well and Shika wants to talk to Sophia now." , I said. "Is Shika in anger?", asked John. " No not at all. She needs to apologise to Sophia that's why she needs to talk. Is Sophia with you?", I asked. "Yes she is here. Wait we will be there in five minutes.", John replied. " Yes John, we are waiting. " , I said and then we hung the call. " Shika you don't worry John and Sofia will be reaching here with in five minutes. " , I said. " Yes Steev, thank you so much for that and I really apologize with us one for troubling you all so much all this is happening only because of me." , said Shika. " Shika please stop saying all this. I have already explained you regarding this right. Then why still you are stuck in this matter? please calm down. " , I said. " Okay Steev, I will. Don't worry. " , said Shika. " Yes that's like a good girl. " , I said.
* Ten minutes later *
I heard the knocking sound at the door. have a sure it was John and Sophia, so I quickly went and open the door and yes it was them and they both came inside. "Hi Sophia, how are you?", asked Shika. "Hi Shika, I am fine now." , she replied. "I had to talk to you." , Shika said. "Okay", replied Sophia. I went to John And stood and by the time I could speak he only said that, "Shall we go out? Let them talk." "Yes John, that's what I was about to say. Come let's go.", I said. After that John and I went out of the room and reached outside. "John, where did you and Sophia go?", I asked. "Did you forget that there is a small beautiful park in this area? We went there, we just sat down there and had some conversations.", said John. "Oh yes, I remember now. There is a beautiful park so should we go there and sit now also?", I asked. " Yes definitely, come let's go.", said John. John and I slowly went walking towards the park. "I have to tell you a lot of things." , I said. "Yes I too have to tell you." , said John. "Yes, let's sit down comfortably and then talk.", I said. The park was five minutes away from our house. John and I walked silently till we reached the park. Sometimes silence would be the best medicine. Being calm really is important sometimes other than talking or screaming. In five minutes we both reached the park. And then we went and sat on a bench. "Yes Steev, you go first." , said John. "Okay Sure, what happened was as soon as Shikha came to my room, She enquired about my health and all that and then later when I told her that I had to tell her something but then she told me even before that she have to tell some important thing to me and until she is that she won't have any peace in her life that's why she would go first. So even without thinking twice I just agreed to her. I thought it would be better if she speaks her words. And then what she said was was really, surprising. I really did not have to talk anything or ask her anything because Shika directly came to the matter. She herself told me whatever had happened yesterday, whatever she spoke to Sophia, the threatening matter, each and everything was committed by Shika was admitted by her itself. I was really shocked and surprised at the same time. The fact was that I really did not have to do any testing things whether Shika was a cunning girl, liar or the one who would speak the truth and what not. But actually these things did not even come into the picture because Shika explained the matter by herself even before I would ask.", I said. "Oh God really? That's great. You were so much worried that how would you ask her that matter and so on but Shika herself made the work easy for you and for herself as well.", Said John. "Yes John exactly, you are right.", I replied. "But then how did the matter reach till apologizing to Sophia, asking sorry and all?", asked John. "Yeah what happened is Shika told me that she wants to meet Sophia tomorrow or Monday morning and should be asking her sorry and apologizing her. Shikha only took the topic of meeting Sophia and solving the problem. That's why when the topic came I confessed everything with her regarding Sophia's dream and how she had come to our house crying. I also told her that she (shika) was coming home that's why I was unable to let Sophia be in our home for a long time that's why she left and John also left as he wanted to give some privacy. when is it that she to felt like it would be good to meet today itself and clear everything because however Sophia would be with you itself. That's why I called you in order to make sure that you both were together and also let you all know that Shikha wanted to talk to Sophia, so Sophia also be a bit prepared about talking to Shika and would not get surprised when she reached here. "Oh okay, that was the matter. Thankfully they both talk in a good way and clear the matter as soon as possible.", said John. "Yes John exactly. I am also hoping the same." , I said. "You too had to say something. So you say now." , I said. "Oh yes, here what happened was after I and Sophia left from home I told her that we could go to the park and sit down over there. Sophia agreed for that and we both went to the park, I mean came to the same park and sat. After sitting I tried my level best to console her and try to bring her out of the situation. She was really upset as we all know, but still I told her a lot of things and she was almost getting normal. Later just to bring her mind out of that matter I was speaking some different things like, childhood things, college things and so on. After speaking all that she was actually getting normal. I had explained her that dreams always stay on our mind for one day maximum, after that day after one more sleep the previous sleep's dream usually would vanish and new dream registers on our mind and she clearly understood that. She was fine and we were just talking to each other casually. It was a good company of her I could say and we were speaking some funny jokes, laughing and having a good time with each other, so you do not worry I have already made the situation of Sophia fine. After that I got the call of yours and then we came back to home. After that we met. Before we met these were all the things that took place." , said John. "Oh okay this is what happened. I see. Thank God and thanks to you as well. That you made everything fine.", I said. "Yeah Yeah no need of your thanks. Sophia is my friend as well. So I helped my friend so why are you thanking me?. " , John said in a sarcastic way. "Oh ha! ha! you are right.", I replied. "I know I am always right.", said John and we both laughed out loud. I was happy to see that the things we getting normal we always once again going back to happiness which was lost for sometime but by God's grace it was coming back to us and I was glad that we all worked hard to reach till there, that day if we all were happy then the reason of that happiness was we, ourselves and no one else. It was almost half an hour since John and I were waiting in the park for Shika and Sophia we were wondering till what time these would be talking more than that we wear a bit nervous as well that hopefully everything goes well and these both girls would come out in happiness and not in sadness or anger.
Suddenly my phone started ringing. "John, Shika is calling.", I said. "Yes yes pick up the call Quickly.", said John. I quickly picked up the call and spoke. "Hello Shika, is everything okay?" , I asked. "Yes Steev, everything is fine. Will you guys come home?" , she asked. "Yes we will be there in few minutes. ", I replied. And then we hung the call. "John, come let's go home. Shika and Sophia speaking and everything is alright Shika informed me and she asked us to go back home so come on let's hurry up I'm really excited to see the happy faces.", I said. " Yes Steev, even I am really excited to see the happy faces of them and after that even we have to be very happy right because after a very heavy day which was filled with the tensions and worries is finally coming to an end with happiness which could be also said as a happy ending.", said John. "Yes John exactly, even I was thinking the same. You are right even I was feeling the same, this day which was really hard and which was filled with horrible pain is finally coming to an end with happiness which is nothing but happy ending.", I said. "Yes Yes come let's go now. ", Said John. "Yes you are right. Come on.", I said. John and I started walking towards back home and that walk was really a peaceful one for me because when I walked to the park I was really tensed and I had much of anxiety within me but later when I was leaving the park and heading towards home I was really relieved and I had no tension or worries because almost all the hatred with each other had was finally getting over and I was wishing that after that It should be only love to be filled in each other's heart other than hatred or jealousy.
