Sorry

Shaira's POV

Sometimes bad things happen just to make us realize how weak we are but every time not so happening things happens to teach us some important lessons in our life which we never forget ever. So instead of being a pessimist we should always think of everything as an opportunity...

After that small meeting with Ayaan everything went so quickly that before i know it, it was time to go the cafe. Whole day I was upset with myself for behaving so impulsive. I shouldn't have snap at Ayaan and he was atleast telling me why he didn't show up yesterday but me being me! I have to throw tantrum and act all stupid. Why would he want to be with someone who thinking anything behaves like a lunatic! I should apologize to him. Whole day I was again back to my previous mode and was oblivious to my surroundings as i didn't want to run into Ayaan. I wasn't ready mentally to confront him just yet and I have to give him an explanation for being so stupid.

Since the cafe that I worked is not too far I usually walk and is only two blocks away from my college anyway. While walking towards the cafe I made a mental note to say Sorry to him as its not fair to him. The moment I entered I was greeted by a smiling face of Sophia who is the owner of this cafe, not only that she is my friend and when I say she is my friend i don't mean it like best frIends and all, no she just understands me by giving me my space and never interrogates me unnecessarily.

More than anything Sophie is a kind women who is in her late thirties with curly blonde hair which reach down her shoulders. She has brown eyes like a very unusual shade of brown, but she looks beautiful in whatever attire she carries, this is what I like about her she is bold and happily married from the past ten years.  Her husband John is also a very jolly person and whenever he and their three year daughter Mia who is the cutest baby I have ever seen are here my whole day passes so easily. She acts so mature according to her age but I feel so good that at least she has such lovely parents who love her unconditionally.

"Hey. How have you been shae" sophie chirped and engulfed me in a bear hug. I don't know why but whenever someone hugs me i feel uncomfortable , now i am little use to her hugs and kisses on the cheeks. She looks down at me like a mother which I don't want at all. I become highly uncomfortable when she keeps her hand on my head and gives me blessings! She know i am an orphan but the worst part is previously I thought she is kind towards me because I don't have parents and feels pity for me but later I got to know she is genuinely concerned for my well being.

"Hey I am good. What about you? And how is little Mia?" I asked her passing her a forced smile.

"She is good, she miss you shae and why are you looking so pale? Everything is good right?" She asked me with genuine concern. See she is too good for me!

"Nah I am good and I miss Mia too. I think I should get back in the kitchen" I said and made my way towards the kitchen before she notice something is wrong with me. Sometimes I wonder whether she knOws how to read peopLe's mind as she has read mine so many times that today I am afraid to even answer her questions.

The moment I entered the kitchen strong smell of chillies, vegetables , sausaGes hit my nostrils. For a moment i forgot everything and engrossed myself in the chores that were waiting for my attention. I washed all the dishes first,  then chopped onions which made my eyes watery and honestly I was crying in real but the onions covered my feelings so efficaciously that I was thankful to God for making this vegEtable. I didn't know what time it was but suddenly I was hugged by someone from back.

I stiffened but then i realised who has this much audacity to do something like that. It's none other than Olivia who works here and is a struggling actress.

Her looks are something which I envy the most. Perfect oval shape face, big eyes, slender figure which guys would die for, her long straight hair which reached down her waist, her bold and sexy attitude is what makes her a fantastic person.

"Missed me?" Olivia asked me keeping her face on my right shoulder.

"Nah. You have to stop doing this oli people will get a wrong impression" i said pulling myself back from her hold. I know she is straight but I am really not comfortable with people hugging me for no reason so to keep myself safe from all this I give the most stupid excuses.

"I don't care but it's fine. I will not hug you like that again" she said shrugging her shoulders giving ne her puppy dog face .

"Arghh fine do whatever you want but for now take this to table number 5" I said to her pushing a plate of cheese fries and burgers towards her.

She beamed at me but left when I gave her a glare. What is with people being friendly with me? I know eveRything about Olivia and she considers me as her best friend but in return I never shared anything with her ever. I am such a terrible friend! The best part is she doesn't even expect anything from me. She never forced me to tell  about something which I am not comfortable about. She really is sweet.

"Hey there is some hottie at table number three all alone and Sophie has asked me to tell you that you are going to take his order" she said and winked at me.

What the fuck! What is wrong with Sophie?

"No no no. I am not going Olivia and please you guys should just stop with all this. I really am not interested in anybody so you all should stop this" I said immediately.

This is what happens whenever some good looking person walks in spohie and Olivia make me go there to take his order and its so embarrassing! By the time I return my whole face turns red not because I blush or anything because of the fact how abashed I feel whenever these two women pull this stunt.

Like every time they left me no choice as olivia busy herself in making rolls and other workers have not arrived so this left me again!

"I am so going to kill you" i cursed and walked out of the kitchen angrily taking the pad along my way.

I heard giggling of Olivia which was annoying! They behave like I am going to end up alone and will not let anybody in! This isn't true is it?

There are twelve tables in this small cafe. Every table is surrounded by three chairs. Only the corner tables are for couples and has only two chairs. The walls are painted red, deep blood red and it has so many pictures of different tv shows, there is one wall which is at the corner is full of different quotations.

"What would you like to order" i said the moment i reached near table three and without looking at the person I asked for his order.

"Whatever you recommend" the moment his voice registered in my head I looked up only to see Ayaan was looking down at me giving me a small smile. Immediately guilt made its way and I felt bad for whatever happened this morning.

"Ayaan what are you doing here?" Before I could stop the words were out and I felt so stupid that I mentally chided myself.

"I am here to see you" he said softly as if gauging my reaction.

When I heard those six words my heart fluttered. It started beating wildly again. I don't know why but I thought I am hallucinating him. This can't be real! How can he be so sweet when I was so rude to him in the morning.

"Umm Ayaan.." I stuttered and was embarrassed so much that I was chewing my inner cheek to an extent I could taste my own blood.

"I want to talk to you shaira please" he said to me imploring every word. The way he said this made my heart sank. He looked so vulnerable that I couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

"I am sorry Ayaan for this morning" I said to him and it was just like a whisper but he shook his head in negative and stood up,  kept his hands on either side of my shoulders, forced me to look into  his eyes which were so deep yet so sad that I was again getting lost in them.

"You don't have to be sorry. Whatever happened this morning shouldn't have happened in the first place." He said to me emphasizing sorry word making me believe that I shouldn't feel sorry.

"Ayaan I have to go now. I still have half an hour left" I said to him apologetically.

"I will wait for you then. I want to talk to you and now I am not taking any chances." He said to me making my heart skips a beat. Why he has to be so sweet? Why can't he be rude to me?

"Just go shae we will manage. Only half an hour is left till your shift gets over. It's fine" Sophie said from her counter giving me her sweetest smile.

"But spohie..." I tried to protest but she again cut me off.

"No ifs and buts it's your boss's order. You are free to go. You can adjust this half hour tomorrow now you are free to go" Sophie ordered me raising her brows at me and folded her hands against her chest.

"Okay okay. Let me grab my things" I said to Ayaan who looked like he has won a lottery. He really was smiling from ear to ear. Like how can anybody smile like this? Although from inside every part of me was dying to be out of here and spend time with Ayaan and not only that my heart and mind for once are so happy that all the tension of last night was gone!

When I entered the Kitchen Olivia was giving me her pointed look. She was noticing my every move which was making me feel guilty as i didn't tell her anything related to Ayaan but the truth is I never shared my personal life with anyone.

"Stop giving me death glares I will tell you everything tomorrow" I said to her which made her relax.

"Okay you better do that and don't forget to use protection" she said to me the moment i was about to exit and laughed at my expense.

My eyes widened listening to her words that without looking back I exited the cafe with Ayaan to finally ask him who he is? There are so many things that I want to ask him and I do hope that I get all the answers today. It's going to be a long night I thought.....
