Aashna's POV:
I reached home and hugged my mom tightly, i then went to my room and took a long shower and then came out and had some food and got dressed, i had to leave to babysit  overnight to Sanket's house, since my mom and his mom had to leave and i would have been bored alone so i took the offer to stay overnight, so i wore a oversized hoodie of my brother and wore my leggings

I cycled down to his home and rung the doorbell, again his mom welcomed me with a sweet smile
"Thank you so much dear, what would i have done without you" she said with a smile

"Worry not aunty" i said with a smile

"I will take a leave, his dad would be arriving soon, but dont worry, he will leave soon as well" she said and left and i wondered to meet him

I enter and this time there was no one in kitchen or in the living room, from upstairs i hear two people shouting and i went upstairs

"Why the fuck are you teasing me?" I could hear divya shout

"Lets have good time until we both are here" sanket said

"Hey guys" i said as i went upstairs and i could see divya smile and she came to hug me and i could see sanket too smile

"So whats the fun thats i am missing" i asked and Sanket and Divya looked at each other and laughed

"Nothing nothing, lets go down" he said "waise bhi i am damn hungry and your food is a lot better than this losers" he said

"Hey i am good cook okay" she said and somewhere even i laughed

"Okay okay, let me make something real quick" i said and me and Sanket went in the kitchen and divya sta on the couch watching some netflix show

He again sat on his countertop, not doing any help to my cooking

"Hmmm smells yum" he said and i looked at him

"I make everything yummy" i said and poured the macaroni in plates

While we all finished and i went to keep the plates in the kitchen, the doorbell rung, and divya went to open it

"Oh hey dad" i could hear her say!

So finally he is here! I could hear him walk in, he turned around and saw me and gave me a smile, i gave him a smile back

"Hey there, you must be aashna, the babysitter right" he said and i was annoyed so i just nodded

"Damn Sanket, such a big boy, needs a babysitter" he said looking at him

I wanted to slap him and shout to leave us the fuck alone, i dont even know him but yet he is getting on my nerves

"Anyways, i am Viren Mehta, you can call me Mr. Mehta" he said i nodded

"Now can we go upstairs sanket, i wanna have a private chat with you" Viren said sweetly and sanket just looked at him with disgust and left upstairs (yep i will call him by his name in my head)

While Divya was helping me around the kitchen, i could sometimes hear them argue, their voice was so loud, however a while after, everything became silent and no one spoke a word

I went with divya to her room and she pretended to fall asleep as she could hear him leave Sanket's room! He came inside and told me that he will be leaving so i can lock the door and as he left, I quickly locked the door and went to Sanket's room! It was biometrically locked this time! I tried to open the lock by thinking of the password but then divya helped me, as her fingerprint also worked until it was disabled by him! Thankfully the door opened and i asked Divya if i could have some private time with him

I went inside and saw sanket sitting on the corner of his bed, in complete darkness, with his head in his hands and knees crunched up! That fucking asshole! How did he touch my man! How could he! Look at him, i have never seen him like this

I turn the light on and he looks up, this time clearly holding back his tears and face red, i could see finger marks over his cheek and that he clearly meant that Viren asshole slapped him!

"Oh my fucking god" "are you okay?" I ask and go sit near him

His hand were shivering and his face was red and eyes having anger in them

"Just go away right now" he said and for a second i felt that i should give him space, space to gather his own thoughts but should i leave him like this all alone? Vulnerable?

"No" i said "sorry but i am not going anywhere" i tried to say it sternly

"Look i am here with you" i said "it will be okay" i said and tried to calm him down, i kept my hand over his and o could feel that he was warm

"Let it out sanket" i said "trust me, you are not doing any good to yourself like this" i tried to make him realise how much hard he was going on himself

"Achha if you want i can go, but just dont keep it all within you, just cry it out and trust me you will feel better" i said

"Boys dont cry" he said in a weak voice

"That societal bullshit and even you know it, its okay to cry, it doesn't make you weak! It makes you stronger! It takes courage to let out emotions" i said hoping it would change his perspective

"Okay, i will go if you want to but just cry it out, if not in front of me then alone! But let go" i said and got up and was about to leave when he held my hand and made me sit next to him, he kept his head in lap and rested down and I caressed his hair, a little while after i could feel some drops and my leggings get wet!

"Its okay" i said and bend over to hug him, i could understand that it would be difficult for him "It will all be okay soon" i said and he cried even nore and i rubbed his back to console him

No this time i didnt say stop crying or thats enough, he has a lot of emotions bottled up and i wanted him to let go of it, so i just was sitting there, caressing his hair or hugging him! Soon he fell asleep and i adjusted his head on a pillow and looked at him, i wiped his tears with my hand and was there next to, he still held my hand and i was just adoring him

I look back to the time when we were enemies, i hated him to the core but i never knew he was a fun person until i started knowing him, I thought he would just use girls for sex and hookups but no he wasnt like that, it was just a pretended side of him, there was time when i couldnt stand him and now i cant see him cry, i care for him, i like how he calls me nerd, i like how he is there for me, i like how we have fun and how he makes up for his mistakes, i like how he ruffles his messy hair or how sad he can get! I just love him! Yes i do! I LOVE HIM! I REALLY REALLY DO!

But does he love me back? Should i tell him or will it also ruin what we have? No no no, i won't tell anyone about it until i am sure that he also feels the same

Divya enters and I keep my finger on my lips, indicating to her to not make much noise since he just slept! She tiptoed and sat next to me and looked at him

"Wow this is the first time i am seeing him sleep this early" she whispered "oh and first time seeing him cry"

"He never cries otherwise?" I asked as I whispered

"Nope, never, even if he would stay locked in a room, he wouldn't cry" she whispered
