Chapter 14

We reached home, I went to my room, freshened up, got dressed into pyjamas and went back to the hall. In the hall, Nat sat on sofa still in the same dress. I think she hasn’t changed.

"Hey, you got changed" She said distractedly.

"Yeah, I have" I said with a smile, I wanted to ask her what is going on, but if she wants to she will, I think I should give her some privacy.

Nat is my only best friend I've since my High school, we both studied in same college. From then till now we both are together, she is the only one who was there for me. But I can't compel her to share her every problem with me, everyone has their personals, but I can't see her like that.

"How is your day" I asked cautiously

"Good" She replied without meeting my eyes still in distraction, I think it is about Nick, I think they had a fight. Wait, if that is the reason I am going to kick Nick, I narrowed my eyes.

Suddenly the door got opened with high speed, here comes Nick. Nat and I both looked at each other and smiled. He is drunken .When he is drunk, he'll come straight to our house and tells everything he wanted to say, he even proposed Nat when he was drunk, this is going to be a show now, we both laughed.

"NAT, I LOVE YOU!!!!" Nick shouted with happiness, she laughed with a bright face, I'm happy that she is back from distraction.

"Here comes the overloaded love" she said laughing, went towards him and hugged, he kissed her and looked at me. Oh sorry, I should leave and give them some privacy; I looked at him with an apologetic smile and turned back.

"Ell, I have to talk with you" Nick called me

"Okay, let’s talk in the morning" I said without turning back, I don't want to spoil their moment

"No, now" he said with his drunken mood voice, I gasp, what is it now? I slowly turned back and folded my hands

"How many days are you going to be single?" He questioned, where is it going now, I rolled my eyes. Wait, is it because I watched them kissing? This isn’t the first time watching them, they did this so many times before me, is it why Nat got distracted? Should I move out?

"Why?" Nat asked him back

“Maybe because I've become an obstacle to your privacy" I said slowly looking down

"What? Have you gone mad, I've never thought you as an obstacle, I think of you as my sister,

Yeah, I tried to impress you at the beginning, but after having Nat in my life I only have her and thought you as a sister. Why would a sister be an obstacle to a brother?" he shouted in his sincere tone, what? He thinks of me as a sister, I never knew that but, why is he asking me this question?

"Then why are you asking her this stupid question" Nat asked my inner question

"Because, I want her to have a companion and have a happy life" he said

"She don't like relations, you know that" Nat said firmly

"Yeah I know, she doesn't like relations and we'll be there for her" he shouted, what is going on.... why are they having fight over my relationship status.

"Then why?" Nat shouted back

"Because, there is one mad fellow who wants to date her and is afraid to tell her because of her ‘NO’ relationship concept" he answered with high tone

"WHAT!!" Nat and I said at the same time in shock, this is news someone wants to date me and is feared to tell me

"Wait" Nat said and pulled us towards the sofa, three of us at on the sofa Nat, Nick and Me in the same order

"Now tell us" Nat asked with shock

"There is one guy who wants to date Ell since one year I think, but is afraid to tell her” he said slowly

"So, he asked you to help him?" Nat raised her eyebrow

"No, I just got to know about that and he didn't asked me to help" he said looking down

"Then why are you interfering" Nat asked irritably

"Wait, who is that guy?" I asked, I mean I have to know who the hell he is.

"Mike, from our office" he answered,

What? Mike, he is close to me, he should have told me. From one year he is thinking of dating me, why did I never get to know that, Is this why he share's everything with me? How am I going to face him tomorrow?

"I'm not interfering, I'm just asking, I mean he is a nice and a known guy, if she is interested I'll talk to him

Sorry Ell, if I have crossed" he said weakly, why is he wanting me to get interested in dating?

"No Nick you haven't, but I don't like relations you to know and thank you for thinking of me as your sister" I held his hand and assured him with a smile.

“I’m with him Ell, You should think about that" Nat said expectantly, I rolled my eyes but nodded. What the hell is wrong with staying single? I don't want to prolong the discussion so I stood up and slowly came to my room.

Why does Mike want to date me? He is nice but I've never thought of him like that...

Do we really need a companion to be happy? If we really need one then no problem I'm going to adopt a child, that child will be my companion, anyway companion need not necessarily be a boyfriend or a husband, I pulled my blanket and closed my eyes
