***ANDREW'S P.O.V***
As I made my way to the exit, Tatia tried to talk to me, but I ignored her. That's the best I can do for my mental peace now. I don't want to hurt myself.
Tatia has chosen her life and I should choose mine too. If I want to live peacefully, Tatia doesn't like my interference, then I won't do that, because if I then hurt her, then I would hurt myself too.
I made my way back to my room. As the ceremony was over and everyone went back to their home, I changed into something comfortable and made my way to my bed. I looked at Tatia and my picture. I looked at it and took a deep breath.
Tatia, you are very important to me and you will always be. I just don't want to hurt you, because of that, I will do that. I will keep my distance from you. That's all I can do.
I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. I was so exhausted. After today it was not an easy day. I have done so much. I had to work so much for everyone, greeting and everything.
This was all hectic. I woke up with a headache. I got up from bed and made my way to the bathroom. I did my morning routine and got ready for school.
I came out of the room all ready and sat on the dining table. As I was eating, Tatia came and settled down next to me. She started eating with me. I didn't say anything and continued eating the food.
"This is tasty Andrew, you should try this." she said as she put the cupcake on the plate. I took the cupcake from my plate and put it on the plate and continued eating my food.
I don't think that I should think about it, I should just do my work and do it. That's it. "Andrew tried this." Tatia is about to put some muffins on my plate. When I removed my plate from the table, she got upset.
She should know that now we are not like the old times, and she has to learn and that even if it hurts her, I will not let that happen. I will not let my guard down this time, not by any chance.
I finished eating my food and got up from the table, I made my way out of the house and sat in my car.
But it didn't move. Tatia came, and sat down next to me. Why is she here? We both stopped talking to each other, we both stopped going with each other. Now she wants it all back as it was all that would not happen.
I kept quiet for the whole ride. After a while, the car stopped in front of the school. We both got out of the car and went off inside. Tatia was continuously with me, until Chris came from. He was smiling. I looked at my side and looked at Tatia. He is smiling at her
I gulped down the saliva in anger. She will now leave me all the effort she was making, she will make it all. She will go with him now.
"Hello Andrew, hello Tatia." he said. I didn't say anything. I was about to go when Tatia held my hand and stopped me from going.
"Hello Chris, I will meet you later. Let's go Andrew." she told him, and came with him. She chose me over him.
We both went inside. Tatia didn't leave me even for a minute. Then I entered my class. She will leave me there now.
Later, after class, as I came out, I saw her standing there. She smiled at me as she saw me. I rolled my eyes and made my way to the canteen. She came with me. I took my food and then sat down there. I was eating it when Tatia put a few jalapenos on my plate. I am angry now.
Why the hell is she like this? When I am not responding and not saying anything, instead of that, she has to know when she will learn to behave just because I am not saying anything doesn't mean that I am OK with anything. I finished eating it and made my way to the exit where she also followed me.
In anger, I stopped and looked at her, "Stay away from me Tatia, what are you doing always following me and all." I said and made my way to my classroom. She would have learnt her lesson.
I finished my classes and went out of my classroom, and went directly to my car where Tatia was already sitting. She is quite quiet. She didn't say anything for the whole ride. I was also quite quiet as she didn't say anything. I also didn't say anything.
She should know that she was wrong. It was only because of her. I started looking outside the window and realised that maybe I was a bit mean to her.
I turned my head to say something to her, but by then the car stopped and she got off of it immediately. I didn't get the chance to say anything.
As I reached home, mom was standing there. She came to me and slapped me hard. I looked at her with tears and anger in my eyes. "What have you done, Andrew?" she shouted at me in anger. She is angry with me, but why she is angry with me I don't understand that
And slapped her and asked why she did that. "Mom, but what have I done?" I asked her. She looked at me with disgust.
"What you have done, let me tell you." Dad said as he went, in anger, and gave me his phone the way he came. I thought that he would also slap me, but he didn't. He just gave me his phone and played the video.
I saw it, it's a video of me shouting at Tatia in front of the whole canteen and how everyone bullied her, "So now you know why I slapped you. Andrew, what kind of behaviour was it? How could you do such a thing?" mom said. I looked at her being sad.
The thing that is bothering me is not that I slapped myself, it's that, because of me, Tatia got bullied everyone bullied her and that is not good. I didn't want that for her.
"Mom, I am sorry, but can I go now? I want to talk to Tatia." I said with all the courage I had, as Dad was also there.
He looked at me with anger, "What will you say to her now, tell me, huh?" he said in anger. I know what I did was not right. She was sorry and I didn't even hear her once.
"Let it him, Mathew. If he can feel it, then let him say it. Let him say it to her. It's a matter after all, go Andrew, and make sure that you succeed in convincing your love." as mom said, I smiled at her.
She is actually the best. She understands our bond. One slap from her was more than enough for anything to make me understand what I wanted.
