It's hard to forget

14. You are Rude

It looked like he was contemplating shifting his focus towards me from her. I was furious by the time he turned his attention towards me. He gently tilted his head and focused his eyes on something far away from me. He's trying damn hard not to look at me directly.

He said, without making eye contact, "She needs a decent dress to come with us."

"And how is that my problem?" I countered rudely. I know I was being a bitch, but how can I respond to this sweetly. He isn't even looking at me. This is the first time something like this has happened. And I don't know how to react to it. He never hesitated to make eye contact with me before. Even on my very worst day, he looked right into my eyes.

My very own second worst day of my life is his engagement day with Saira. This idiot looked into my eyes while making her wear his ring. And that's how stupidly he likes to look at me. But now it is like he suddenly changed to a different person. I hate that he is pulled to this random girl who he doesn't even know properly.

"How rude!" Preethi exclaimed, shooting daggers towards me.

"Says the girl who barged into my room and asked me to give her my clothes when I don't even know her name," I replied without breaking my stance towards Samy.

"Anurag said you're an angel. A doll indeed. But it looks like you are like that Annabelle doll. Not scary but spooky for sure." This little taunt from that girl made me snap my eyes towards her, breaking my attention from Samy.

"Oh no, dear. I can be a Barbie to many, but to people who don't care about my boundaries, I can be more than an Anabelle. My clothes are my wish, and my boundaries are my choice," I replied to her with a smirk on my face.

That made her open her mouth in shock as if she didn't think that I could retaliate and counter her stupid taunts.

I heard him say, turning towards Preethi, "We can go shopping nearby. We can buy you some nice dresses if you're comfortable."

Her whole face lit up and she was so happy, but I didn't even wait to see her reaction anymore. I was very furious with his response. This isn't my Samy. My Samy will never hear anything against me. Even if it was my mistake, he always made sure to scold or hurt people who behaved like this with me. But this time it isn't my mistake and he's supporting that girl.

I was in a full-blown rage and snapped without even waiting to lower my voice. I didn't care about people hearing me from downstairs. I didn't even think for a minute that I wasn't on talking terms with him. I was very angry, and I couldn't control my brain or my mouth. We kissed yesterday, and this is how he is going to treat me after??

"You're not going to do any such thing," I snapped, making him turn towards me immediately. And now he has the decency to look into my eyes. Finally!!

"Sorry. What did you say?? " Preethi asked from beside him, but I didn't care about her or didn't want to show that her opinion mattered to me.

My complete focus is on Samy, and I'm not able to decide what he's thinking from his expression. So I just wanted to make my point clear to him, such that there will be no further discussion on this matter.

" If she wants some clothes to wear, she can go and buy them with Anurag or her other friend. You guys aren't even that close to going shopping." I said with conviction to make him understand that this isn't worth debating.

Then I turned towards her and brought a fake smile to my face. Showing that I am completely normal and happy with all this bullshit. " I think you know Anurag more than you know Samy, right? So it's better to go with your friend instead of a stranger for things like shopping, right?" I said to her with so much honey and sweetness dripping from my single word.

Her face hardened as soon as I said, "Stranger". She was about to say something, but Samy bet her with "Anurag has other plans." He was about to continue saying something else, but I interrupted him immediately.

"You. You don't dare speak about anything else. Or else, I'm not sure what I will do." I was so mad at him. He is still supporting her. He knows that I'm not happy with the turn of events and I feel silly to argue about such a trivial matter. But I am not going to back off now.

"Wow. You are rude to everyone. Why are you making a scene about something as simple as this?" She raised her voice this time. I'm surprised that no one is coming upstairs to see this drama. I'm sure anyone in this house now will listen to this. No one is being subtle about their argument anymore.

"You're not going to say anything to her about this? You are still going to treat her like she has this special privilege to do whatever she wants? And go on insulting people when she doesn't get what she wants?" I asked him without even giving her the satisfaction of a simple glance from me.

I moved a little closer to him but still maintained a safe distance from her. "You're not going to defend me anymore? You're not going to scold her even though she talks rubbish? Most importantly, you're not going to try to please me anymore?" I am practically focusing all my energy and anger on him. But still, there is no change in his expression.

"Why will he say anything bad to me? I just asked you if you will share your dress with me. That's not a big deal." She's defending him as if that is her job and he needs her to save him from me. But she doesn't know how wrong she is.

"It isn't a big deal to her," I said without taking my eyes off Samy. I didn't even look at her while speaking this time. "Tell her, Samy. Tell her how I've hated sharing my things. She doesn't know me like you do. She doesn't know that I've hated sharing my things, whether it's a dress or my boyfriend. But you do know that, right? Tell that to your new dear girlfriend." My words are tough and I am sure I am speaking with so much anger oozing from my face. His eyes grew bigger as soon as the word "girlfriend" left my lips.

"What's happening here?" I heard a voice from the stairs and turned to see Anurag, along with Shresta and Saira, standing behind Samy but at some distance. It's high time they heard this ruckus and came.

I turned back to Sameer and without saying anything in response to anyone, I slowly turned back. Once I was inside my room, I closed that door with a slapping sound. This will convey to them that I am in no mood to argue anymore. As all of them know me very well, they will not dare to disturb me for some time.

Author's note: Wow, I kind of hate and love Maya's character. But what to say? Maybe Samy spoiled her too much in their dating era.

Do you guys relate to Maya? Or are you on Preethi's side? Let me know what you feel about this chapter.
