❝  Feelings are weird and unpredictable, but they are never untrue. What happens in your heart pours right out of your eyes, so fake it as much you can... ❞

KUSH'S POV

I heard some voices when I forced my eyes open.

I saw Alan's tall self standing right in front of me. And then I saw Meera's struggling self trying to free herself from my hold.

Embarrassment was written all over her face. Well, I'll give that to her. No one wants their boyfriend to find them in such a situation. I smiled at the thought and lifted my hand off her as she quickly stood up. I followed the suit.
For the sake of few imaginative minds, nothing happened last night.

We worked ourselves out on the designs after a Thai supper till 3 a.m. And once they were done we didn't even realise when and how we fell asleep in such an awkward situation. But, neither of us can deny that it was the best sleep that we had in years, I can vouch that I sure did.

I grabbed my intercom.

" Zoe, a black coffee, please..." I said and put it in place.

" Morning, Alan. Can't say it was a pleasant surprise watching your face first thing in the morning." I stretched. Bad manner or not i felt so good this morning.

Meera was gathering the designs till then.

" Alan, can you drop me home?" He nodded as Meera kept the files on the table. She didn't even dare to look at me. Her actions were proving her as well as me guilty, which we weren't.

" I'll bring my things. " Saying so she left.

She's the most stupid person I've ever met and yet I don't know why I love her. The way she acted would definitely make even let be Alan think that I've done something wrong.

" She's gone. You should leave too." I said a minute later.

" Look Kush, I'm trying hard not to lose my calm but... But if you've hurt Meera in possible..."

" Alan... I know you're getting us wrong. Just listen to me. We were just working and there was a casualty. I got burns and I didn't have a spare shirt. We worked till 3 and then fell asleep. " It was the truth.

" I wish I could believe that... "

" You don't have an option either. But I'll tell you one thing Alan. I love her a lot. But I don't feel the need to compare my love with yours. And even you know that I won't do a single thing that would put her in harm's way."

" You did it years ago. " He grunted.

" And I've been paying for it ever since. I'm not here to snatch her from you, Alan. I'm here just to make sure that I make her believe that I still love her and I'll wait for her forever. Coz, somewhere I know she loves me too. " It was for the first time I was having a sensible conversation with Alan.

" I don't wanna shatter you Kush, but perhaps you're wrong this time. That train has left the station long time ago. "

" Maybe I'm. Maybe I'm not. But one thing's clear. I like to play it fair. You spent 5 years with her. The 5 years that I had lost and yet I don't see the trust in your eyes. You're scared you'll lose to me. About the train leaving Alan, I guess the train forgot its engine with me. "

" Kush... You think too much of yourself."

" And you think too little of yourself Alan. Question yourself.
Does Meera really love you? Will she ever be happy with you? Why she acted as if she did wrong when she didn't, just 10 minutes back? Do you make her feel trusted? And lastly, are you willing to wait for her or even love her when you know that she's spending 5 years with another man in her life? "
