"Do you really think he loves you, Evara?"

Darsh laughed and got up. He got up with that beaten face and spit the blood once again. His spite towards me in his eyes told me that he had won.

He had won. If he can't have Evara. I can't have her either. And it killed me from inside knowing that this was going to be the misunderstanding in our life.

Evara was not a bet.

She never was.

But, I can never explain this to her if she listens to Darsh.

"Darsh..." Ishani tried to stop Darsh but but Evara placed her hand shakily in front of her face.

She wanted to know. She hated being kept in the dark and that is exactly what had happened.

"Eva..." I whispered her name.

I whispered.

In reality I wanted to Scream. I wanted to scream with all my might that she can't listen to this bastard. That I would tell her everything myself. But I should have told her this before.

I should have told her how I had loved her since the day she had walked into class with that face filled with arrogance and pride.

I should have told her how I sneaked glances at her. Did everything in my capabilities to get that tiny bit of attention she gave me. That glare when I answered the question the teacher asked before her.

That puffing of her cheeks when I had taken the last piece of her favourite pastry from the cafeteria and then giving it to her once she started arguing with me.

Catching her checking me out shamelessly while I swam preparing for the competitions and her embarrassed face when she realised I noticed her.

Catching her crying in the ladies restroom the thought of her in my arms as we sneaked away from others.

Our First Kiss.

How I wanted to tell her that it was my first kiss too. That All the flings I had ever had was nothing but a show a dare. I hadn't touched anyone except her.

How could I?

When she was the only one in my mind since the day I saw her.

I felt my soul yelling at me to open my bloody mouth. But no words left.

My heart beat fast.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

"You're too innocent to understand the devil tricks, Evara. You're such an innocent girl." Darsh said with evil but genuine regret. "You truly thought Atharva ever liked you."

I didn't like her.

I fucking loved her.

Not now... Since forever.
I started to see this world only after I saw Evara.
