MAFIA'S

PLEASE ANDREW

***ANDREW’S P.O.V***

I didn’t say anything about that stuff where Tatia was continuously arguing because I just knew that it would be of no use, nor were they going to hear us. Just the only thing that they are going to do is to hurt us and scold us and make us do what they are.

Marrying her was just like something that I didn't expect at all, not even a bit. I mean to be with someone, maybe who is meant for me and maybe who is not, but there is just belief that I want to make happen. It's just that

I want to be with her. I am her best friend and don't want her to ever feel that it's not the right way or any other way. I just want her to feel that I am always with her like a pillar.

As I got in the car, I saw that she was upset. I talked to her and made her happy. I am glad that, at least for now, she is not in a state where I should be worried, or our friendship is by any chance at the stake of losing because. Honestly, I just can't afford it.

We both went down to school. I was just doing my work in class when I saw Tatia and that new guy who went to her, Chris.

He is definitely handsome and quite good at his charm.

I started to work again when I saw it all.

After the class, we were both having dinner when I asked her "What was he asking for?"

She looked at me with a question on her face. "Nothing, it was just that exams are near, and he wants my help. That's it."

"Great, by the way, he is a good catch. You should think about him."

As you said, she laughed at it, my old Tatia is back, which is just great.

"Please, Andrew, I know that you don't like me. Don't do this at least, I mean. Common, you should not behave like that, just absolutely wrong."

She said and then we both laughed. We were just talking when he came. Chris said "HeyTatia, actually I have a party at my place, so would you like to come?"

I knew that this guy liked her a lot, but it's okay, it's absolutely alright," What do you mean, I actually um, I, can't have one, thanks for asking."

She said. I looked at her, then said "You should go, Tatia. It will be fun. She will come, Chris."

Tatia glared at me. Chris smiled and then left. "Why did you say that I would come? I mean, what was wrong with you? What was going on inside your head? Will you please tell me about that?"

"Ite youTatia, I want you to go and have fun. Trust me, I will be great."

She rolled her eyes. "And who on earth told you that it was Going to be great? It's not going to be great? Why don't you get it?"

I held her hand. "Tatia, it's okay, I am not telling you to go and date him,

But it's clearly shown in his eyes that he likes you and, honestly, he will be a nice fit. I mean, I want the best for you and if you also liked him, then it would just be wonderful."

I said to her, "Cool, then I will go to the party just because of you. Now I have to go to a party. I just hate doing this a lot."

She said. I smiled at her. My sweet friend, Sometimes she can be sweet like sugar syrup.

We both got in the car and then sat down. We both

Reached back home

NEXT DAY

We did the same thing.

And everything. I went back home and Tatia went to the party. I was just waiting for her in the garden when she arrived and tell me how it was.

I waited for a while then went to my room. "Why didn't you come, Tatia?"

I said as I woke up and then saw,, asked her why she didn't come or even once, she bothered

I woke up for breakfast, then

breakfast

"What happened Andrew? You seem to be a little upset."

Mom asked me. I smiled at her and said "No I am not upset, mom, it is just that I was thinking about my work for college because I was just thinking about that."

She gave me a cute little smile and said "Don't worry about it, you have a very good partner who will help you study."

I smiled at her. I definitely have Tatia that no one else can have. I am proud of that.

actually, and I will be very proud of that thing that she is here.

"So, Andrew, what have you thought about studying at any university university have you decided anything?"

Dad asked me if I had not actually s**t he told me that until now I would be scolded. "Dad, actually I is sorry I forgot to do it, so I was right."

"This is what I was talking about. He doesn't even pay a little attention to what I say or not. Fortunately, he is married to Tatia or else he would not have gotten anyone."

Dad said, seriously, does everyone think so low of me?

I didn't say anything and just kept quiet. These things don't affect me a lot, but the thing that's bothering me is my friend. Her weird behavior. I mean she is just god. I don't know.

"Listen, I just want to say that, I don't get at all what's in his head. Just look for him and make him understand that he has to be serious in life."

Dad said it in anger and then left. I was just sitting there quietly and then went to the car. Tatia came and sat down.

"You didn't come home last night."

"Caus3 I went out, that's why."

"But you always did that. You always tell me what happened to you or what it is, so why not yesterday?"

She held my hand, then I smiled at her and looked at her. "Okay, cool, you. Listen to me now. Yesterday I went there. It was good. It was okay. Nice, then we had food, and then I came back. That's it."

I smiled at that as she said that this just made my day. It's not like I am complaining or anything, it's just that, I like it. I will manage it.

I am happy that she had fun last night. I am happy for her about that.

" I'm sorry that I didn't come to your place. It is that at the back of my mind was just thinking about my parents and your parents and what they think about us, so I just want to avoid it. So sorry."

She said what I can completely understand from what her mind said or what she must be thinking. This is because parents, that would have come to my mind also, because my parent had made us both believe that we both are fools and we both don't have any foes or say in this relationship, or whatever it is.

"Please relax and calm down, okay, everything is just going to be fine because I am going to make that happen. I know that you are upset and that's actually pretty normal, but I want you not to forget that we are both friends first."

I told her she was a bit uncomfortable because that marriage,, was my friend, is actually going a bit away from me, but that's not what I deserve. I want

"Sorry Andrew. I should not have thought about it like that. I am so sorry. I am extremely sorry for that."

She said. I smiled at her, it was alright. Sometimes we have to act and take care of others, because it can't be the case that everything will be fine every time.

"Come, let's go."

School came, so I got head of my car and then we both headed I side as we headed into the class. Chris was there. I smiled at him made my way towards my made

I was just trying to focus on my studies because otherwise Dad would kill me, when I went there, "Have you seen this Andrew?"

Subu tried to show

Me something "Shut up please I have to study or else my father will kill me this time."

"It was Tatia's dance with Chris. It's okay she would have already shown you this."

As I heard it, for a second it went blank. I was like, what is it, and why is it like that?

"What wait, I just don't get that. What does that supposed to mean show me the video?"

I looked at the video. It was Tatia and Chros dancing together as if a couple together dancing what is it she about me?

I looked at her, but again she was busy with him. Why and laughing? Why did she do this to me? Why did she have to lie to me?

The class ended. She was just talking to Chris after school. When I went to her, she say “Tatia, come, let’s go back home, come.”

I said I knew that the driver would be here and Dad there would scold him if he did not get us on time. “Yeah, I will come, Andrew there, just a minute.”

She said. I looked at Chris and then again at her. She definitely used to be not my Tatia who, used to be like, yes, care about people or anything else, “Tatia, please, we have to go home. You can talk to him later on also.”

I said to her again. “I will drop her. You can go. Andrew.”

Chris said. I looked at him and then at Tatia, “Tatia, we have to go. You can’t do that.”

“He said that he would drop me. Then what’s the problem, Andrew? You should go back? I will come on my own, okay.”

She just said. I wanted her to stop, but it was alright was I went to the car and then made my way home.

As I got out of the car, mom was standing outside saying “Where’s Tatia?”

She asked me what I was supposed to tell now say “Actually, she had some work, so she was going with a friend of hers. She would be a little late, and I just didn’t want to stay back.”

“Why can’t you even wait for her there now she has to go with someone else?”

Dad started to shout at me when mom came, “What happened Michael, why are you shouting at him?”

Mom asked me s**t now what I will say if she will ask about Tatia “Because he can’t even wait for Tatia in school he was so busy that he was just god I can’t believe this.”

I looked at mom and smiled, then she smiled at me. “It’s alright Michael, it’s completely fine. They are both kids and, most importantly, why had to stay back in school she would have come back. Exams are coming. You did a good thing. Andrew, by coming back, I know that you have to study.”

“Study and him on a serious note.”

Dad said he just always makes fun of me does ever he feels that I also have emotions and I also feel pain and these all the way he acts is very biased towards me

“No Michael, I’m completely serious. I’m not joking right now because I am the one who is teaching him everything this time and I have to make sure that my son will do everything perfectly fine, as Sanya has always taken care of Tata and made sure that she’s perfect. I’m going to do that, and my son is not weak in any way.”

I genuinely felt very good that there is someone who really feels that I am not a loser. Mom always makes me feel that I am just the best. There

There can be no one else, even if my own mom never says that she will do anything. It’s just Mom always makes me feel that I will achieve it. Lilly's mom is just someone who makes me happy with whom I can share everything.

“Cool Lily, whatever you are saying or whatever you feel is, do it okay. I will go to the office now, and you had better take care of Tatia from next time.”

That just said it and left. I went to my room, and then I was just sitting over there. Mom called me to study. I went to her, and I was just studying when Tatia came, Where I kept quiet and didn’t say anything when my mom got up after teaching me and then went to her.

I heard shouting. She’s been getting scolded, but I didn’t want that to happen. It’s completely alright that she stayed out or whatever she wanted to do. Poor she

I did my work, and then I was about to go home and Tatia stopped me from going.

“ I would like to talk to you, Andrew, about what you did and what you said to Mom. I just don’t get it, and what is your problem just because people don’t invite you to their parties? Or their places or didn’t make you deaf, and it doesn’t mean that they should not make me also their friends.”

The way she said it all was very hopeful. I mean, I never thought that she would use these kinds of words for talking to me. This was an intention or something that I would never have thought of.

“Listen, Tatia, I don’t know what is going on in your head, but let me just tell you one thing, that this is not the way you can talk to me and that is not what I think about. I am not dying to go to someone’s place or someone’s party. It was me who told you to go to his place and to his party. You are the one who was lying, and I just don’t get it at what the point was lying from me.”

I just told it because definitely. I am very hot, the one whom I think is my best friend and someone, but I can share everything, and she can share everything with me. Is it not doing that is just hiding stuff from me and, on the other hand, she expects me to be quiet and then be like what happened.

“What do you mean by that I lied to you? I didn’t lie to me about anything. Okay, I know on the other hand, you were complaining to my mom that I came home late. I mean, come on, it’s okay if I didn’t come with you, I can come with someone else. Also, it’s my life.”

What about me complaining about her that you never happen? “ I didn’t do that. I never told anyone that you were not going to come back here because you were there with Chris. I told everyone that you are starting there. Just because of that, you are coming late. I took it all on me. Dad scolded me. Mom was angry with me. Everyone was there because I just left you over there. I didn’t wait for you because everyone thinks that you are my responsibility and I have to take care of you wherever we go.”

“Oh my God, so now you are putting it all as if you are the victim. Everyone was scolding you, and they were screaming at your winning. As I said, my mom was not even smiling or anything. She just started scolding me and, yes, I went back with Chris. What’s wrong with that? He’s a nice guy? He’s a nice friend of mine. Plus, he has a brain which I like you say sensitively and thinks he’s good. Looking nice, I like you just because you are my super husband. It doesn’t mean that you are acting like that, because I think we had this conversation that this marriage means nothing to us.”

This is just completely unacceptable. The way she is talking to me, the way she is acting as if you don’t even know me, I don’t get it, what is there in that guy, Chris, that she’s acting like that and fighting for that?

“What is it there in him that I don’t get, or I don’t understand Tatia, because the way you are acting in the way you are behaving is just completely different? I mean you said that you were dancing in the park and I know you and the trees were dancing together. You both were on to each other. You were both close. Thank you didn’t even tell me I got to know about it from someone else who showed me the video of you being so close to each other.”

For a minute, she kept quiet as I saw that she didn’t say anything else. This is what I should accept from her because she lied to me. She didn’t say anything that I would have seen or anything would have done. I mean it’s her life, she can dance with anyone but that she has to lie about.

“ yes I did. I was dancing with him and I don’t want to tell you about it. You know why, because the day we both signed that contract. We have both been married. You are acting as if we both are actually a married couple are both. I’m not. You know that we both have talked about it, and we can like someone else or anything, but you are just acting as if you want me to be a part of a life.”

“Tatia, I definitely want you to be a part of my life because we are both best friends and are both always together. It’s not what your mind is thinking. Definitely, you have disappointed me and that thing just kills me. I am sad that you misunderstood me. My. best friend misunderstood me.”

“Stop putting it all on me Andrew. I am also trying to be cordial with you and, honestly, I have realized that I can’t because you are a cry baby who just likes to complain.”

She said it and then made her way back to her home. Seriously, Tatia is doing this to me. How come she can be so ruthless with me, not even for once she thought about what would be going on. I wiped my tears and then went to my place. I will not talk to her nor force her to do anything. If she thinks she should be doing it like this that, then she should do that.
