SAUDADE {COMPLETED} ✔️✔️

Chapter 23

Avu: I dunno Sid if I have right to call you friend now or not. I didn't even believe you, understand you. I just took decision in my impulsiveness. I didn't even think once to talk to you. I am sorry

Sid: Avu you don't have to be sorry. I already told you I don't blame you. I was just worried. All of a sudden you resigned. I even went to your home but it was locked. I asked the whole neighborhood. None of them had idea where you went

Avu: Sid you blame me or not. I hurted you, right? My whole life I just hurted people. First my parents, then you guys. God gave me such amazing friends and I didn't even value them

Tears rolled down her red, puffy eyes. Sid held her hands.

Sid: Avu...look I won't say it wasn't your mistake or you were not at fault. You were. You shouldn't have broken your parent's trust. You shouldn't have crossed limits. You both shouldn't have got physical. But Avni you have already got your punishment. How much you suffered all this years, it's enough Avu. Now stop blaming yourself. You did a mistake. You accepted it. You got your punishment

Avu was just listening to him carefully.

Avu: But Sid how can I forget that. Ishan keeps me reminding of that incident. Whenever I look at him, I remember Rishabh and that incident

Sid: See Avu you can't remove that part from your life. It will be there forever. I am just asking you to forgive yourself and move on. You can't keep blaming yourself like this whole life. You deserve to be happy, to live your life fully. And about Ishan. Avu it was yours and Rishabh's mistake. Not his. He also deserves to live his life. He needs you. He need to get proper opportunities. You can't keep running like this. You can't hide him from world. I know people will say a lot of things. But being afraid of them, you can't spoil his life

Avu nodded slightly understanding what he said.

Sid: Just think about whatever happened in your life till now, how much you have suffered, how much you have cried, how much you have lost, how many taunts you have listened. You can't even count Avni. How much more you wanna punish yourself and Ishan? Don't you want to live peacefully? Don't you wanna give him a proper life with all opportunities?

Avu was just thinking about whatever he was saying.

Sid: Forgive yourself Avni. Stop killing yourself from inside. Please move on

Avu looked at him with teary eyes.

Avu: It's not easy

Sid: I know but atleast try. You just can't loose hope like this saying it's not easy

Avu was looking into his eyes. He squeezed her hands.

Sid: I am always there for you. I am there to help you in every way. And friends you are saying God gave you Abhi, Jaan, Anu, Dev, Vaish, Jai. All are there for you. They all were worried about you. They all were so sad knowing you disappeared all of a sudden. They all want you back. They all are there to help you

Avu: Even after knowing the truth?

Sid: Avu it's your life. You told me with lots of trust. I have no right to tell someone. They have no idea about it. I just told them someday if God wishes you guys will meet her and if she wants she will tell

Avu smiled knowing he never broke her trust. He never told anyone about her.

Avu: Thanks. Thank you so much Sid. Today you told me I never made a mistake trusting you. Now even if they hate me after knowing this, it won't effect me much because you never broke my trust. Thanks Sid

Sid: That was my duty. You trusted me. I had to keep your truth safe
