CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

FREEN'S POV :-

Today is the day, I will finally put an end to this, this thing has been going on for years...

( FLASHBACKS )

I was having a lunch with Cathy and Nam, it was around last December, the time when I started noticing the changes in my relationship, the time when I first started questioning Cathy.

" What about Christmas ? ". Nam asked me as she munched on her food, Cathy was busy texting on her phone so she ignored Nam. " Same as last year Nam, we will celebrate it together at my house ". I smiled and Nam shrugged, we celebrated Christmas together for so many years and when I started dating Cathy she became a part of it.

" Mhm babe I can't be free on Christmas, you would have to celebrate it with Nam, The company offered me a job ". Cathy pouted and I slightly nodded, I knew that was not the truth.

" It is alright, Babe, I will see you on New years eve ". I smiled and held her hand, placed a kissed on it and intertwined our hands. Suddenly her phone rang which made her stand abruptly from her seat. " Ahh Babe my manager is calling me, I am afraid I have to leave ". She took her things, before leaving she placed a kiss on my cheek and waved to Nam.

" But you haven't eaten anything ". I mumbled but she was already out of hearing range. " So you are still holding onto it ? ". Nam vaguely asked me and I had no idea what she was trying to say.

" What are you trying to say, Nam ? ". I was bumped after Cathy left, I took a sip of my coffee and mindlessly stared at my food. " Why are you still with her ? ". Nam bluntly asked and my eyes directly shot up to glare at her. " Are you trying to start another fight where you tell me she is not the one for me ? ". I said slightly raising my voice at my best friend.

" I am just asking the reasons as to why you love her, it is general curiosity ". Nam shrugged and continued eating her food. " It is just... it feels right to me... I haven't been close to anyone in so long and I don't know it feels like this is it ". I was not believing my own answer and I was sure that Nam would hear my insincerity behind those words. " Actually I am thinking of proposing to her on our 3 year anniversary ". I added after few seconds, that equipped Nam's interest, She sat up straight in her chair and looked up and down at me before taking a deep breath.

" Don't you think before proposing to her, you should introduce her to Aunt and Uncle. I mean you have never introduced her to them for 3 years ". She sarcastically said the last words, rolling her eyes at me, this made me furious but I knew she was right.

" I didn't get enough time to take her there ". I mumbled which made Nam laugh out loud. " So for three years you both didn't get enough time to meet someone so important ? ". She raised her eyebrow at her, amused by my reply.

" What are you trying to say ? I just... ". I turned my eyes away from her, I don't know myself the reason behind this, Cathy was never really interested in knowing my past and I appreciated it because I didn't want to be vulnerable in front of her. " You and I both know what am I trying to point out here ". She shrugged and completely turned her attention to her food this time.

" I won't admit that you are right because I know you are not ". I snorted and crossed my arms in front of my chest. " Am I really wrong, Freen ? Or you are lying to yourself just because she has blinded you with her little affection ". She retorted back which made my heart ache because it was the reality.

" Little affection ? You don't anything about our relationship so please stop ". I spat venomously but she was unfazed by it, I turned like this whenever she tried to tackle my insecurities. " You know that I can see right through you, right ? I can see why you are with her ". Nam's gaze softened, my cold exterior melted slowly.
