THE DRAMATIC LOVE AND HATRED

Chapter - 123 - The Reality was Finally Out

Steev's POV :

I told each and everything that was on my mind that day I did not want to leave even a single word which was on my mind I want to do clear out everything from A to z. that is why without any hesitation or anything I just spoke out everything which I had. " That's all what I had to speak about. You wanted me to tell each and everything which was on my mind right. So here it is. At least now you give me the answer to all this. " , I said. Shika replied, " Yes Steev yes I would not tell you anything if you didn't come till here asking for the answer I would keep it in myself and burn myself within because it is not easy for me to lose a friend like you or be a be from you because I think you know it very well that we both share a really strong bond with each other from a few days we had built up really strong friendship with each other. Am I right? " , said Sophia. " yes of course we share a really strong bond that is why I am standing write in front of you. if I did not value you all your friendship then why would I stand here why would I come all the way till here searching your house just to meet you and clear out all the misunderstanding or any problem that has been occurred. I just want to clear everything and want to continue our friendship. I would never love to leave such a great friendship because after John and Shika it is you for me with whom I share a good friendship with so of course I value it. " , I replied. " Yes Steev, I know you really care for me and our friendship. " , she replied. " Yes now please tell me what happened? were you about to end this friendship? tell me the truth? " , I said. " Yes Steev , I am sorry about that but unfortunately the truth is yes. " , she replied. " Oh God, but why what was the reason? did I hurt you or did I commit any mistake? " , I asked. " No Steev, no ways. You did not hurt me neither you did any mistake not hurt me. " , she replied. " Okay fine then what is the matter? " , I asked with total confusion. " I was told to break friend with you. " , she replied and started crying. " What are you serious? Someone told you to break friendship with me? But who is that? tell me. And please do not cry. No matter what, no matter who comes our friendship is precious and I will not let it break. " , I replied. " Yes Steev, I trust you. " , she replied. " Yes now tell me who is behind all this? " , I said. " It's Shika. " , she replied. " What ? Did you just say Shika? " , I asked. " Yes you heard it right. It's Shika. " , she replied. When I heard shika's name I was shattered for a moment. I never expected Ishika to do such a cheap work new she was jealous because of Sophia's and mine friendship but I never expected she would do such thing. " Now please you need to explain me what all happened? What did Shika exactly tell you? " , I asked.

" Yes Steev definitely. " , she said. " I will tell you each and everything in detail. Yesterday morning I left from my house on my usual time, the same time which I used to come out from my house and reach to your house and then we used to go together to office from there right. So when I was going from my house inside the lane through which you and John came today I met Shika over there, probably it looked like She was waiting for me to arrive over there. I do not know how she figured out that my house was inside that lane, mostly when we went out that day and had a small argument with her properly she noticed me coming inside this lane that's why she was aware. Let me come to the point, so when I saw Shika yesterday standing in the lane I was surprised I asked her how come she was over here so she told me that she has to talk to me something really important that's why she was waiting for me to arrive. I told her to tell me what she really have to speak to me so she said that I have to stop talking to you. She said that I should not talk to you anymore, I should not go to office with you, I shouldn't talk to you in the office, I should not even look at your face properly, I should not have lunch with you, I should not come back home with you and most importantly I should not be your friend. I should break the friendship with you and behave as if I do not know you at all and if you come to talk to me I should ignore or avoid you, if I did so slowly you will also stop talking to me and then our friendship will get overs automatically. Whatever I said just now, all this things were said by Shika. " , said Sophia. I have no words to say when I heard all those things I never expected such thing would happen it was so wrong of Shika to do that. " Oh God I'm speach less. When she said that, what was your reply? " , I asked. " Yes of course I did not keep quiet I too kept my points. I told her the bond between us I told her how we be in the office and however we do not have any other friends in the office and I mentioned it to her really very clearly that if our friendship gets broken it would be really bad thing but she was not at all ready to listen whatever I said. I did argue with her a lot but she did not try to listen. One more important thing is that, she told me that she was going to pick you up that morning and she told me that until you guys leave. I was not supposed to come in front that is why when you will waiting for me that morning. I did not come out of the lane but was standing and watching you guys. I waited until you guys left from there and then I came out because you were waiting for me for a long time, I too had to stand there itself until you leave. once you guys left from there after that I too left for work but as I was going by auto and it was already late because of which I reached the office late. This was the answer for your question which you had asked me when I was late to office you ask me why was I late but I did not answer it to you there so here you go with the answer. " , she said. " Oh my goodness, I have no words to say. I am really sorry for whatever she said to you. " , I said. " Hmm... no problem. " , she replied. " But when Shika told you to not to come in front of me, why did you listen to her? You could have ignored whatever she told and you could come right? " , I asked. " Because she started crying and said that he really likes you, and she cannot see you being close to me. And if she sees that she gets some sort of anxiety and she even blackmailed me saying she would end her life if I did not listen to her. I am a person who gets convinced fast and who keeps a soft corner on people who cry in front of me. That's why I couldn't say her no. I neither said yes. She herself told everything and left from there towards your house. She said she was going to your house to pick you up and she asked me to not move from there until you guys will leave. And me being a soft hearted person I too without giving her any reply just stood there as she told. My problem is I do not know to take a stand for myself I feel. I could atleast fight for my friendship but I didn't do that. " , said Sophia. " Yes you could have taken stand for whatever you feel like I said. " yes exactly but I was scared what if she tries to end her life. I did not want someone to get hurt because of me. That's why i agreed and did not utter a word. " , she replied. " Yes I can understand you, Sophia. " , I said. " Shika did all this just because she likes me? " , I asked. " I think probably she loves you. That's why she told me all this. Or else why would she threaten me like that to be away from you. " , she replied. I had heard that people go crazy for love. And I thought I was seeing that. But still my another biggest concern was that of Shika loved me, why wasn't she confessing it to me. Why was she keeping it inside the boundary line. My mind was messed up. As we were talking I could see John coming back from the garden. However I was about to share everything with him. So I decided to call him near us. " Hey John, please come here. " , I said. John looked at me and came towards us. " Yes Steev, what happened? is everything cleared? " , he asked. " Yes I got to know what is the matter but the matter has been still messed up. " , I said. " Messed up even more? But how? " , John asked. " Because the reality is finally out, Shika is behind all this. She was the one who asked Sophia to stay away from me and ignore me. Her motto was to break our friendship. " , I said. " Oh my God, I cannot digest whatever I head just now. You are not kidding right. Are you? " , said John.

" No John, I am not at all kidding. Even my reaction was the same when Sophia said me this. " , I said. " But what is the matter actually, please explain it to me. " , said John. " Yes John, I will explain you everything. " , I said. " Yes kindly do it quickly. I am dieing in confusion. " , Said John. John and I were in a messed up situation. " Shika asked Sophia to not to be friends with me. She even threatened Sophia that she would end her life if Sophia doesn't stop talking to me. " , I said. " Oh my God, this is Insan, but why did Shika say all that, what is the reason? " , said John. " It is because Shika likes me itseems. But Sophia feels like may be Shika is in love with me. And that's the reason why she is behaving this way. ". I said. " Oh God Is it. I too feel the same. May be she has fallen in love with you and that's the reason why she might be behaving that way. As we know being madly in love can cause harm as well. So first thing is we need to make her calm. We should not let her go to that stage where she would do literally anything to gain your love. And that should not happen because love is something beautiful and it should not happen with agression. Am I right, Steev ? , Said John.
