Sanjana's POV:

I decided that I had to stay strong. I didn't do anything wrong, so I had to keep my head high and be proud of my self.

I have been mopping in my room for the last 20 days. My family is suffering because of me. So I decided that I would come out of this phase and go back to Delhi.

Atleast if I cry there my parents wouldn't see me and feel bad for me.

I went to my dad and told him that I would go back to Delhi. He tensed a bit and asked if I am completely okay and alright to go there. I assured him and told him that I cannot miss  classes as my semester exams are nearby. I cannot slack in my academics anymore.

By evening, I already landed in Delhi. I bid a good bye to my dad and started going into my dorm.

"Beta, jo bhi ho raha hai tumhare saath, mein kuch nahi pucha iska matlab ye nahi ki mai iss topic ko chod diya. Jo bhi tumhare saath galat kiya usse tho main saza dekar rahunga. Ye mera vaada hai", saying this he kissed my forehead and went away.

(Translation: Dear, whatever has happened with you, I wouldn't question what that is but that doesn't mean I left the topic alone. I would punish whoever has wronged you and that's my promise)

I went into my room and my friends immediately surrounded me.

"This is not right Sanjana. We were so fucking worried about you and you don't even answer any of our fucking calls. You cried and went away and we are left alone thinking what could have happened to you", yelled Tara and I suddenly felt guilty for keeping them in the dark.

So I sat them down and explained everything that I went through for the past 4 months.

"whattt?? You went through all of this alone?? You should have told us baby", Piggy sympathized with my situation.

"And that idiot Akshath did not believe you? But why? You did all this for him right?", exclaimed Sam.

"Sam, she did not have any evidence to prove herself as innocent and Akshath always thinks logically so he wouldn't believe her", explained Tara.

I felt like crying all over again but controlled myself as I don't want to stress my friends anymore.

"Do you want to go outside? We can have some coffee and then go shopping. Its been so long since we had a girls day out", suggested Sam and I nodded as I really felt that I needed a break.

We spent the entire friday evening shopping, roaming around the mall, trying different kinds of foods. For the first time in these 4 months I felt happy.

We booked a cab and returned back to our dorm. As I was entering inside I heard a voice which made my heart race.

"Sanjana, I need to talk to you please", Akshath voice reached my ears. For a second, I thought I was hallucinating as i never heard a please from his mouth but when I turned around, I saw him standing there in all his glory.

He looks worn out and tired. He was always prim and proper but now his attire was so messy.

I did not reply to him and started moving inside.

"Sanju, please, I beg you. I am so sorry for all those harsh and hurtful words. Please forgive me", his voice shook and felt like he was trying to control his breathing.

I ignored him and went inside along with my friends. He can't just say all those and come back asking for my forgiveness. I may be kind, naive and emphatic but that doesn't mean I lack self respect and would go back rushing into his arms just because he begged.

I went inside my dorm room and started catching up on all the subjects that I have missed. 

I was determined to complete all my pending syllabus in this weekend. So i focused and started reading. Eventually, I lost the track of time and my friends did not try to disturb me.

Soon it was time for dinner. We all started heading to our dorm canteen and that's when I heard some junior girls talking about a guy waiting outside in a luxury car and they said that he was looking handsome. I instantly know who it was. Didn't he leave yet?

I ignored the nagging in my head and completed my dinner and came back to my room. As I was about to sleep Piggy said, "Sanjana, that idiot is still waiting outside and I think it's about to rain as well."

Gosh! What is he trying to do. First he calls me characterless and gold digger and then he makes me feel like I am the bad person by doing all these things. "Let him be Piggy, don't disturb him", I said in a cold voice.

Soon enough it started pouring and my heart thumped faster. Goddddd why did you make me like this? Why in the world you have to make me this kind and make me feel guilty?

I went near the window and peeked outside through the curtain. I saw him leaning against his car on the side facing the dorms and was already drenched. He would catch fever!!
That's the first thing my brain said but I ignored it.

He himself is standing in the rain without anyone's force. Why should I be worried? If he wants to become a hero doing all these things then he can. I convinced myself and went to sleep.

During midnight I woke up feeling thirsty and went to fill up my water bottle. From the place where we fill the water bottles, there is actually a direct view to the outside of the dorm and I saw him still standing there.

Oh my goddddd!!! Why did I have to get into a relationship with this stubborn man??

I went back inside, contemplating if I have to give him a call or atleast message him. But then I remembered that he never called me once in these 20 days and suddenly out of nowhere he just came to me begging. Is he even real?

I again ignored the guilt that was creeping up inside me and went to sleep but who am I kidding? I was unable to sleep with him still standing outside in the rain.

I checked if he was still there the whole night for every 2 hours. Okay fine!! For every 10 minutes!!

He stood there for the entire night and I didn't even sleep a wink.

(Saturday)

I checked if he was still there but there was no sign of him and his car. I breathed a sign of relief and started my study session.

As I was going for my breakfast I again heard some junior girls murmuring. "That guy was standing there the whole night. I think he freshen up and came back. See he is standing at the same place again", one girl said to her friend and I immediately looked outside and true to their words, he was really standing there in fresh pair of clothes.

Godddd not again!!

I went inside and ignored all the feelings eating up my brain and focused on my study session.

I never once looked at him through the window and I was proud of myself for that.

It was lunch time and I told my friends to bring my lunch upstairs as I did not want to hear any gossip's regarding him.

Again, it started raining heavily and the atmosphere became so dark. There were thunder and lighting as well. I rushed towards my window and started checking if he was still there. Yes, he was still standing there and his form looked like he was shivering a bit. Why is he pushing himself? If he continues this way, he will be hospitalized.

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.

There are currently two angels on either side of my shoulders.

Bad Angel: He put you through 20 days of suffering and it is not even a day and you are melting like an ice cream.

Good Angel: you are not like this Sanjana. You don't have to change yourself due to other's behavior.

Bad Angel: shame on you if you go to him. Chi chi!! No ounce of self respect.

Good Angel: what will you do with self respect if he gets hospitalized.

Bad Angel: let him get hospitalized, we are not the one asking him to stand in the rain like a Romeo.

Good Angel: it's not Romeo, it's love failure. Anyways he is asking for forgiveness for all the deeds that he has done.

Bad Angel: who are we to judge his deeds? He made his own bed let him lie in it. Karma is a b**ch.

Good Angel: see she is even cursing. She is already turning you bad so don't listen to her.

Bad Angel: oh hellooo!! That is a quotation. Stop over reacting and Sanjana you are not going there and that's final.

At last, Bad Angel won and I did not try to go outside. I resisted myself to have a look at him and forcefully immersed myself in my studies.

I took a short nap as I did not get enough sleep. By the time I woke up it was already dinner time. Oops!! I thought it was just a short nap??

I went to dinner with my friends and I did not listen to any gossip's this time as I had air pods in my ears.

I know I was being cruel but he was equally cruel and brutal towards me. His words really did hurt me and I don't want to go back to him right away as I was afraid that he would take me for granted.

I finished my dinner and forced myself not to look outside and rushed into my room.

I started my study session again and after an hour or so someone tapped on my shoulder.

"Sanju, it's raining aggressively like the one where we get floods? It's similar to that. I know I should support you considering all the insults that he threw at you but if you need any time just let him know. Let him know that, you need space to think about where both of you stand. Tell him not to contact you and stay away from you or tell him not to act like everything is okay between you two. Just communicate with him. You did the same mistake earlier when you were black mailed. You did not tell anyone of us or him when you were suffering and going through mental trauma. So don't repeat the same mistake again. Tell him to back off or leave you alone for as much time as you want because I know that you would feel immense guilt and would start crying even though you keep up a strong facade. So am just saying this for your sake", explained Piggy.

I did not think about it this way. I know I would definitely go back to him but not yet. Not before I healed my inner self and my heart. I think whatever Piggy said was right. I will ask him to give me space and time and he would leave from here and I would not be feeling guilty anymore. But a small part of me wanted him infront of my eyes. Am I becoming heartless or psychotic?

I took an umbrella and made my way downstairs. It was raining heavily with wind blowing in all the directions. I had to forcefully control my umbrella from flying away.

Goshhh he is standing in this kind of weather?

I slowly made my way towards him and immediately his eyes met mine when I was out of the gate.

I stood infront of him and covered both of us under the umbrella. He pushed the umbrella over my head and smiled at me. Don't melt Sanjana think about how Bad Angel would be so disappointed with your behavior!!

"I am already drenched, don't want you getting wet and catching cold", his hoarse voice reached my ears.

I went straight to the point. "I want time and space from you", that's the only sentence I spoke.

His body tensed and his eyes widened. "How much time?", he breathed.

"Until I heal myself and come out of all those harsh words. If I forgive you and be with you right away without giving time for myself, I would always feel like I am a gold digger whenever you pay for food, shopping or take me out or gift me something. And you called me characterle......", he cut me off by placing a finger on my lips.

"You are not. I am so sorry for hurting you. I really am. Please don't think that way about yourself. You are a girl that every guy would die for and I am a lucky bastard to get such a kind and beautiful girlfriend. I know I don't deserve you but I am fucking selfish to let you go. I beg you baby, please believe me. Please take me back", saying this he suddenly kneeled down infront of me.

In the distance, I saw Jay's car  coming towards us and Jay, Karthik and Pranay got down and made their way towards us.

"What the hell is he doing?", I heard Karthik's voice.

"Bowing infront of his Queen", said Jay and smiled looking at the scene before him.

"A king only bows down for his Queen", completed Pranay.
