Plz do hear I hate you I love you song while reading this chapter, for better experience. (Not forcing, just recommending :)

Back in the hotel, we were packing all our things to leave; I was not able to find Aaysha and Lia at that time. After sometime Lia entered the room and we both began packing together.

I was feeling very bad for her, how can I tell her that Aaysha too likes Mike? But it's better to say now, I thought.

"Lia?"

"Tell me" she said folding her dresses in her grey-black shoulder bag or a sac to be more precise.

"I'm gonna say you something; this might break your heart!" I cautioned.

"Tell me, I'll see to it" she replied and urged me to say.

"You see, Aaysha is too interested in Mike, I don't know what was his reply to her, but if it is yes, please don't break!" I said.

She was silent, rather looked confused.

"You see sometimes we don't get what we really wish for, so do I" I said in a low tone.

"Is it anything about Sid?"

she asked me at once.

"Leave it now, he loves someone else" I said with a sigh.

She came near me and patted my shoulders.

"Look, sometimes we have to wait to get the best, I hope it will happen soon to you!"

And stood up to leave the room. But she halted at the door and tapping her fingers for a couple of times, she turned and said

"And it's fine if Mike really din't think about me like that, maybe I deserve someone more special!" she said and left the room.

I was blank, she is different, I din't expect her to react like this, maybe she moved on or lost interest in him and guess I have to do so!

After packing my things I went to the lobby to read some magazines. We still got some time.

There I could see Aaysha and Mike talking in a far away distance from my place. I was not able to hear what they were talking but it was a long conversation.

But...but I felt something different. I felt something hard, it was the first time I found him more attractive than ever. I don't know why!

"Just see him once Mina, you will fall for him!" I could recall what Lia told me on the first day when Mike entered our class.

And now I feel how it is.

Like the same way how I met him for the first time in the washroom, the first look of those tan skin and greyeyes.

Maybe I would have fallen for him if we din't pick up any fight?

Or those were the reasons for me to fall for him, now?

I started to remember how he consoled me yesterday, how he wiped the sauce away from my lips, how many silly deals we made, the hell lot of fights, how we both fell on each other infront of Rachel, all the happenings with him just passed in my mind like photographs.

I don't know why but I wanted to leave that place at that time, I was finding it hard to watch him talk with another girl. But I din't feel the same when he was talking with Lia or Rachel in my school,

This is different!

Why I din't say yes when he asked me I want to be his girlfriend?

Why I din't say no when Aaysha said she wants to talk with Mike?

And why my mind din't say that it was not Sid but...

Mike.

It was around 4p.m and we were placing all our luggage back in the car and I could see Mike with Aaysha in his bike both laughing, fingers interwind.

A sudden ache was forming inside me. It is unberable. I could not believe that it was me who made them both talk and now its me again to get jealous for them together.

I took the car with my parents.

I made some music fill my ears to overcome my thoughts, but unfortunately those were just reminding him more. I kept closing my eyes fearing that tears would escape if I open them.

Soon we reached home.

"So soon?" I asked my mom.

"You slept honey, so you din't realize" she replied with a smile.

Mike and Aaysha were already in the living room chatting, it was like their conversation was going to end,

With a tight hug.

I was left there with broken heart.

"See you Mike!" Aaysha said.

"You too!" Was his reply.

His glance fell on me, I was trying my best to act normal.

"Bye." He said holding his 5 fingers erect added with a weak smile.

I was lost, I din't respond anything.

I have seen in movies and dramas where 'bye' was also a emotion related word.

So this is how it feels like?

I stepped to my room,locked it and sat on my bed, I started to break down with tears.

"Why are you crying!" a voice asked me.
It was Gaby.

"Oh Gaby I am screwed, I don't know what to do! I am losing all my loved ones!" I replied crying.

"Chill girl, tell it one by one" Lucy said having a pen and a small note in its hand.

"You're crying for Sid, that's fine, Why Mike?" Gaby asked me.

"That's a notable point" Lucy replied writing it in its small note.

"I'm finding it even harder than how I felt when Sid rejected me!"

"So...?" both of them asked dragging at the same time.

I gave a deep sigh and began,

"I think it's only a crush on Sid, but I think...

I'm in love with Mike!"

"What?" Lucy asked

"Wow!" Gaby exclaimed.

"But now, all gone, he is gonna be Aaysha's boyfriend! I am alone now!" I said lying on my bed.

"I think I was in love with him for a long time, but it is only now I am realizing it!" I said placing my hand on my forehead.

"Well, I knew this is gonna happen one day!" Gaby said with an eye roll.

"Just forget him!" Lucy said.

"Wait, we din't know what was his reply to Aaysha; what if he only saw her as a friend?" Gaby suddenly asked.

"No! I think they are not friends now!" I replied.

"You give a try" Gaby said.

"That's too awkward!" I and Lucy said at the same time.

"Then don't regret" Gaby said and disappeared.

Then Lucy too vanished.

I din't ask Aaysha what did Mike said to her, because I don't want to get hurt even more and it's evidently seen that they both are interested in each other.
