Karan was looking at the couple in front of him with tear-pooled eyes. The heartbreak he had gone through some months before, felt fresh wounded all over again.
His eyes were mesmerized just like always, seeing his angel but when he saw the familiar boy following her towards the car and their whole public display of affections. He was shattered.
Kabir had seen Preeta and her friend sitting on the other table but he didn't wanted to let Karan see them. He was afraid if Karan would lose his senses or do something wrong like confronting Preeta, so he was trying to mix him up in their friends conversation.
But suddenly, Karan's mother's face splashed on the mobile screen as Karan quickly took a cue outside the restaurant. He was busy in telling his mom, that he was doing fine and was really feeling great but it all became a lie when he heard a familiar angelic voice as he turned to his left and saw Preeta walking out of the restaurant with none other than her best friend, Arjun.
Karan was about to walk towards her, remembering how she had tricked him in escaping from his car. How he had spent these past months as a love sick bastard just because of her and here she was laughing and enjoying her life.
Kabir was getting suspicious as why Karan was taking so much time, when he turned to look towards Preeta's table, he got scared.
"Shit... Karan might see her."
He whispered to himself and excused from his friends to walk outside. He reached Karan but he was shocked when he saw his best friend's glossy eyes. He followed Karan's gaze and wasn't surprised to see Preeta and Arjun hugging and giggling like a couple as he had already seen them in the traffic.
Kabir was ashamed of himself that he couldn't make his best friend happy for a single day, just because of this Preeta. To check if Karan was alright, He put a hand on his shoulder and said in a gentle voice.
"I know it hurts but she is happy, Karan, without you."
Karan gulped the lump in his throat as he was agreeing to his best friend's words.
Her brown hair were blowing in happiness, her eyes were brightened because of the presence of that boy. Her smile was broad because of the words that boy was whispering to her. Karan clenched his jaw but didn't forget to reply Kabir.
"Without me."
"Karan, I think that asthmatic boy is her... "
"...her boyfriend."
Karan completed Kabir's sentence while Kabir felt bad for his best buddy. He wanted to do something for him but seeing the scenario in front of him, he wanted to let Karan feel that the girl wasn't hers to love.
"Karan, stop mourning over her. Its her loss that she is not with you. She doesn't deserve you, my friend. Let her live her life. You can have more beautiful and rich girls than her. Love is a waste of time, Karan. It only hurts you in the end. I know its hurting you, so let it end now. Forget her, bro."
While Preeta and Arjun were behaving like a couple near their car, Karan replied to Kabir.
"Love is sure waste of time but I haven't lost faith in love because I still am deeply in love with her. I can still feel my heartbeats getting faster when I am watching her beautiful form. She is still able to hypnotize me with those pretty brown eyes. How can I resist her tempting lips? I know she's mine and she herself will realise this... "
Karan turned to smile at Kabir which seemed creepy to Kabir.
"...eventually."
