Enala

After closing the cafe Arjun came to pick me up. I was sure that I'm not going back to Deepak's house. Just a few more days and I'll have a place of my own.

I was really tempted to call him and ask him how he is and where he is but I didn't. Staying away from him includes not talking to him and it seems like he doesn't want me to call as well.

When we reached Arjun's house, Amara was waiting at the gate. As soon as I got out, she pulled me into a hug.

"Arjun told me everything. You are welcome to stay here as long as you want okay?", He said stroking my hair gently.

"Thank you", I said giving her a smile.

Arjun showed me to the guest bedroom and I sat on the fluffy bed.

Fluffy. I left him behind as well.

He was given to me by Deepak and I've left everything Deepak gave me back in his house. I didn't want any of it. I'll go back and get my stuff once Arjun gives me the key to my new place.

I couldn't help but think about what he was doing? Was he still with her? Is fluffy alright?

I got too anxious thinking about fluffy so I asked Arjun to go check on him.
In about 15 minutes I got a call from Arjun.

"Is fluffy alright?", I asked, anxious.

"He's perfectly fine. But deepak is not at home", he said.

Oh. Where is he?

He's probably still with her.

I felt my heart clench at the thought of them together. Did our kiss mean nothing to him?

"Nala..", I heard Arjun through the phone.

"Yeah I'm here"

"I'm taking fluffy to shawn if that's okay with you. I have no idea where he's gone", he said.

"That's a good idea. Thanks Juno", I said and cut the call.

Maybe she is an ex just like shawn said and now that she's here they must have decided to get back together again. Whatever it is I hope she doesn't upset him like earlier.

I just want him to be happy and it's okay if it's not with me.

I sighed and pulled the duvet over me. I had a little hope, just a little bit that Deepak might call me and ask me why I'm not at home, why I'm not in the kitchen making him his favourite dinner, why I'm not in his bed waiting for him to join me.

Was everything he told me a lie? Saying that he sleeps well when I'm there, that he likes me being around the house. Didn't any of that matter to him?

Don't be stupid Nala. He was being generous and kind to you like the good hearted person he is. I'm the one that mistook his kindness for love.

And I fell for him when he didn't.

Tears formed in my eyes thinking about all the good times we had. Every moment I spent in that house will be cherished. Every eye contact, every touch, every minute I spent with him.

I wish daddy was here to hold me tight and tell me I'm okay. Tell me he'll beat Deepak up for hurting me. But he wasn't. These empty sheets made me miss him more.

Deepak made sure I never missed daddy. He had become my hero.. He still will be even if he didn't choose me.

I couldn't sleep that night. I was waiting for a message or a call from him, but all I got was disappointment, emptiness. The feeling of being unwanted haunted me.
