VEER

Pain...

The pain of betrayal...

Again...

"Veer... She... She is not for you." Samrat said hiding his eyes from me.

"What are you saying Samrat? "

"She... She... Is into me" He uttered the most heartbreaking words. For me, it was difficult to take in all of it.

Samrat was the one who stood by me in everything. He lend me support when I needed it the most. He was there to listen to me and provide me with comfort. When I joined this School he was my first friend and a best friend.

I would share everything with him and listen to his advice.

I told him about my family's condition.

I told him about my father mistreating my mother.

I told him about all my problems.

And he would always listen to me, he would always caress me with love. He was my biggest support.

Everything was fine until I told him about Suhani.
The news didn't settle well with him.
He told me at times that Suhani is not the right girl for me but I would just chuckle at telling him that it was just his protectiveness about me.

He never minded me going into their group or hanging out with them sometimes. But the 'Suhani' news was not something he was pleased about.

Even Suhani didn't like him much. I could always feel the tension between the two so I avoided meeting them in the same group.

While Samrat never said anything bad about Suhani and just passed her disapproving looks Suhani went on to put some serious allegations against him.

She didn't understand the gravity of the accusations she was putting on him. He was my friend and I never wanted him to get in any kind of trouble because of me Or Suhani.

There was a time when fights between me and Suhani skyrocketed and the reason was the same. Samrat.

She uttered nonsense about him and I couldn't tolerate it.

With their constant dislike for each other Samrat saying that Suhani was interested in him shook me. I couldn't feel the ground beneath me.

"You...You both don't like each other. Right? " The statement came more like a question.

"I... I... I...Know it's quite hard for you to believe but it's the truth Veer. She was not interested in you since the beginning. I told you that she is not the right girl for you right? It was a bet between me and Suhani that our friendship is stronger and no girl can come in between...But she lost Veer... She... Lost. You never believed her fake stories for me right? I never thought that for a bet she would go this low. She trapped your true emotions for her. I asked her if she was doing all this for just a petty bet. Do you know what she said?... She said... She said...she liked me and not you. It was always me for her. She was just using you to win the bet. She is not worthy of your emotions Veer. I told her that I will never even want to see her face who destroyed my friend's innocence. She is not for you Veer... Not for you
... She... "

Tears were pouring out of my eyes and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

He hugged me. He consoled me. He kept telling me everything she said. I was too lost to even hear a word further.

Was it so easy for her to play with someone's emotions?

Was it so easy?

She never felt ashamed of herself? Like never?

Her innocent face was fake and I couldn't even see it?

I fell for her fake charms. I fell for her fake innocence.

Anguish...

The Anguish in my heart burned me...

Even in my worst nightmare, I never thought she would do something like this until I saw her actually doing it.

Samrat was right about her.

She was a cheater.

I unknowingly clutched the steering wheel remembering the past. I could only see red in front of me.

I thought it was a mistake. A silly mistake of her teenage.

But no...

She is still involved with Samrat.

I hate myself that I fell for her who actually fulfilled her bet. She won. She won the bet. She was successful in breaking our friendship.

And Also my heart...

After all those years I least expected her to romance him at her own reception party.

I was disgusted with the thought.

Before her presence beside me could corrupt my mind more, we reached my home.

I closed the door of the car with a thud and walked out of it.

I didn't want to see her face. Not at this moment at least.

I don't want to do something that I might regret later. I went to my room balcony to relax.

I was having this strong urge to break something so hard that it scatters into pieces.

Just like my heart...

And I was thinking to give her a chance.

A Cheater?

Why Suhani Why?

Why do you have to break it all over again?

Is it so easy to play with someone's emotions?

Why are we close yet so far today?

Did you never see my emotions... my feelings for you?

My eyes were paining in agony... My heart was burning in rage...

I wish I had the power to erase some memories.

I heard the washroom door being shut. She walked out in her night suit and laid down on the bed facing the opposite.

She truly never cared. Why couldn't I see this?

I chuckled dryly... What a fool I have made of myself.

That was all a facade. Just Come out of the happy bubble Veer. She is not into you. She never was... It was all you assumed.

I remember how everyone in our family was so excited about this marriage. This meaningless marriage...

My fury rose when I got reminded of how many people are involved in our marriage. Now it's not just us but our families too.

No matter what, I will not let her play with my family's emotions. She had played with me enough not my family now.

*
I opened my eyes due to the irritating sun rays. I groaned in annoyance... There was unusual pain in my neck and back. I realized I slept on the chair on the balcony.

I walked inside the room to see her sleeping. It was early morning. I freshened up and went jogging.

I wanted to clear my mind. We have to talk and decide what she wants. It can't be like this forever.

If she was still with Samrat then why did she marry me?

And if she is not with Samrat then I will not let her be with him for even a second.

I just go crazy when I see both of them together. It just reminds me of the past. It reminds me of that particular horrible day. I don't want to go back experiencing it all over again. I might end up killing someone this time.

Taking a huge intake of breath, I entered the mansion with a mind to clear the air between us but what I see was totally unexpected.

To my misfortune...He was here...
