*continues*
Days later Dave saw me as i was returning from school, caught up with me at the staircase and held my right hand softly. I stopped and stared at him coldly while he returned my look with a calm smile.
“i know you are still very angry with me over what happened the other day, i’m very sorry” he apologized. I tried to snatch my hand from his grasp but he strongly held me.
“please just take this and buy something for yourself, i really do apologize with all my heart” he muttered and offered a brown envelope to me. I stared at him speechlessly, tried again to snatch my hand but he still held it strongly.

“just take it please” he pleaded,
“just let me be Dave” i replied with a raised tone. He stared around, before facing me once again,

“cyndii what i feel for you is no ordinary love, i swear i can pull down any building just to make you mine” he added quietly.
I unhappily shook my head as i tried to calm myself down. A new plan instantly rushed into my mind,
“okay let’s go to my room” i muttered coldly. He smiled, released my hand and together we walked into my room.

He quietly sat on my bed, I sat beside him in a well composed manner and faced him with a fake smile,
“i really do appreciate the gift, but i cannot accept it” I calmly said to him, while he silently stared at me,
“i know you truly do love me Dave” i added and held his right hand which totally surprised him.

“A great love, even if it be unfortunate, should ennoble a man, not make him desperate and heartless, please let’s just be friends, i do believe with time i may learn to love you” i murmured gently.
“but can’t you offer something much more than ordinary friendship?” he asked instantly. His anguish very real, not feigned in any way. Love, life, liberty all were at stake which i very well knew and so had to choose my words carefully.
“no Dave friendship is all i can offer for now”, “here you are offering me love, and my hand does not tremble, my heart equally does not; your words give me no pleasure, only pain; i’m conscious of nothing, only a wish to end this interview, please do understand my plight. How else can i explain that i feel no love for you at the moment” i poured out to him.
“but with time, could you learn to love me?” he eagerly asked,
“yes i’m very sure i will, please don’t think i speak out of pride or to pain you” i lied sweetly. All i wanted that moment was my freedom which i prayed our little discussion would grant me.

I saw a sudden shadow of despair come into his eyes. I swallowed hard and muttered quick silent prayers to my creator.
“you have unmanned me, but i think you are right, i can’t force out love from you, lets be friends like you said” he muttered while his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
I heaved a sigh of relief, my eyes instantly lit up with joy. I felt like hugging him in appreciation, but i held myself,
“thanks alot for understanding my plight” i murmured with delight.

He stood for some moments in silence; a dim perception of his own unworthiness came over him, with a smile, he tapped my left shoulder and left my room quietly.
“is this the end?” i asked myself happily,
Only time will tell…..
