Betrayal

He Always Cared, But Not Anymore

{Maeve POV}

"Maeve, let's go on a vacation. See it's been a long time since we went somewhere together." Saturday nights were always like this. Cooking the dinner together and having it while watching a movie, then cuddling each other and talking about the whole weekend. That's when Aman asked me this.

I was all excited to hear that "You know that sounds great. Let's plan something" I literally jumped out of the bed saying that. "I think we should plan a two week holiday or something."

"Tell me babe where you wanna go?"

*************************************************

"Maeve, where are you right now?"

"Me? Of course at my office. What happened Aman?"

"Then come outside. Make it fast ok"

"Right now? What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"No more questions. I am waiting outside for you. Just come fast."

I was in my office when I got the call. I suddenly rushed to the entrance of my office.

"Aman?"

"Oh, you are here. Come on get into the car. No questions. Just get in."

"Aman...at least tell me where we are going"

"Hey, you will get to know soon. Have some patience, my dear. And which song do you want me to play."

"Anything you like."

"Then let's go with Perfect.
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me..." We sang the song together. He always cared. Always made plans. He knew exactly what to do to make me happy.

"Aman, you took me all this way to have ice cream?"

"Yes, my lady. Now please get out of my car and have a fine date with me."

He opened the door for me. I held his hands and got out of the car.

"Hey, thanks a lot. I needed this." I told him while we had the ice cream.

*************************************************

"Surprise!!!
Happy Anniversary Aman"

"Wow thank you soo much. And don't tell me you did all this by yourself."

"Yes, I did. You know what...I even baked a cake for you. It won't be that good since it is my first attempt. But I know you will love it."

"Thanks a lot, Maeve. And I love you." He gave me a tight hug and kissed me. "I am sorry I didn't remember. So I don't have a gift for you."

"Well, I can forgive you since it's the first time you are forgetting something. But if you ever repeat..."

"No, I won't. I promise dear."

"You know I have a gift for you. Tadaaa"

"Car keys? You bought me a car?"

"Yes, I did. And your favourite one "

"But this must be costly. Where did you manage to have the money from?"

"I had this on my mind for a couple of months. I was saving since then"

"Maeve, you don't know how much happy I am right now. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you so much dear"

*************************************************

It is not the people that we miss, but the memories we make together. The moments that I once cherished are now taking my breath away from me. Zane listened to me the whole time.

"Talk to him Maeve. Maybe the whole thing is a misunderstanding."

"It's not. I feel the difference in him."

"Still...you should know what he is about to. And he should know what you feel like. Whatever you told me right now, tell it to him. If I can see you even without eyes, he will surely see your pain."

"But if he tells me he don't love me anymore, I'll be shattered."

"Running away from the truth will heal neither you nor your relationship. You have to show courage. If he don't love you anymore, what is the point in living with him anyway? Maeve trust me, you won't regret this."

"I...I will talk to him."

"Maeve, I know you don't want to lose him. But if he is not yours, what is the point in holding on to him?" 

And I cried my heart out. Zane tried to console. I leaned on his shoulders and cried until I felt a relief.

"If you allow me, I can drop you home Zane." It was almost midnight and we were about to leave. Today we talked for like four long hours. He even sang a song on the guitar I bought him. Surprisingly it was so good. How can he be so good without even seeing. 'Music is to feel and not to see.' That was his explanation to my question. Anyway he agreed to drop him.
