Forever? ||

37.

She was an idiot . An idiot that she ignored all the red flags and let him get to her heart every damn time. This felt like a pattern now and she was tired.

She didn't want someone who treated her like she wasn't his first priority.

It hurt . It fucking hurt as her fears and insecurity of him forgetting after getting his people came true. She locked herself in her washroom and cried inconsolably . She couldn't let this go on. She could see the future .

More than that she was mad at herself for believing she could have him . It as onvious she was out of his league . All the past traumu slapped at her face like  a harsh truth. She was wrong in bilieving she could have a normal relationship after having the past relationships of her fail. What was wrong with her ? Why did it always happen with her ?

***

He stood like a statue at the place she left him . He was numb and he couldn't understand what just happened . He didn't expect this to happen. It was his birthday. They were supposed to be togther celebrating. This wasn't supposed to end like this.

He opened the gift box with trembling hands . He found a men's chain . It was star shaped and he smiled bitterly . what was the need of this gift when she herself wasn't going to be here. He brushed his finger through the locket and his already heavy heart couldn't take it anymore when he saw 'serious ' inscribed in it .

His lips trembled as he ran his thumb gently over it . He didn't how know how to feel . This gift was so thoughtful . she understood him so well but why not this time ? Why does she never listen ?

He wiped his face furiously and pocketed the gift. He went inside faking a smile . It wasn't difficult after all ,he jas been doing this for a long time .

He didn't have heart to refuse all of them and sent them back when all he wanted to do was usher them out and cry in silence .

" Karan ? " Patel asked him and Prince came along with him

Karan sighed before turning to them pretending he was fine

" what's going on ? Where's teja ? " Prince asked and His face immediately fell at her name. He couldn't hide it . Just her name and he was a mess . Gosh  , the extent to which this girl affects him

" Karan ? Veere tu theek hai ? " Prince asked scared seeing him like this

" I-  Patel why did teja not know about all this ? Why did you let them plan this ? " He asked Patel agitated

" How would have i known you guys had plans ? Tu mujhe btata toh main obviously kuch bahana marta kundrra.... Mujhe lga you guys decided to celebrate together in morning and with us in night . " Patel explained

" Veere hua kya ? " Prince asked concerned and he and patel dragged karan to a corner

" She thinks... She thinks this was all planned by me and i didn't want her here... She had different plans for us but then she saw this.. And she misunderstood evrything which ended up in a fight ... I don't know what to do prince...Everytime i try to tell myself she is younger and she blabbers anything in anger ... it tests my patuence more... How much patient can i be ? And till when ? " He said agony laced his voice

" She doesn't listen ... Usko gusse me kuch dikhta hi nahi hai aur pta nahi kya kya bol deti hai ... I am not here to tame this shit veere... It hurts.. Mai nahi sun sakta ab , the taunts , the accusations ... can't she see how much i love her and how much she means to me ? " His eyes brimmed with tears as prince squeezed his shoulders letting him take it all out .
