Struggle for life of an innocent girl

Chapter seven

As time flew we became more close. We started spending more time with each other and our friends became suspicious of it....ofcourse Shivani was suspicious too but not asked me anything. It was one day Nikhil brought cake for me and told to me eat alone not share it with anyone. I hided that box in my desk but unfortunately Shivani found it and asked me who brought it. I told her that it was brought by Nikhil for both of us...her and me but she got upset that he didn't gave it to her than me. by the time things are getting worst. Shivani's suspicion was growing day by day and I was overwhelming with the love I was recieving. Though the one thing I didn't liked about him was...he was touchy and I didn't liked that....holding hands were ok but kissing...I was uncomfortable with it. but I ignored because I was blinded by the love.....seriously I don't know it was love or mere attraction but whatever it was at that time it was all that I got and I was loving it. Now it was time for our final exams and we all girls decided to spend last day of exam at Shivani's house. But what I didn't know was what was waiting for me. After exams we went to her house enjoyed and suddenly Shivani said that she wants to ask something from me. I don't know what was coming for me and she asked that did Nikhil proposed to me.... I was dumbfounded...everyone became silent...vibha tried to talk to Shivani but she was not listening I was only watching her without saying anything... I don't know what to tell her... this was the time I had to chose....chose between my friend and my love...and I don't have choice I have to chose one among them. I was contemplating what to say or not...what should I do...seriously I want to run from there to avoid everything but I can't. after one hour I have to admit that yes he proposed me. and she asked another question and after answering that I knew that everything would be over for me. She asked me whether I love him or not......it took everything in me and two hours to admit that I don't have any feelings for him. She was happy and my heart was bleeding with pain that I can't show.
