I close the door to my apartment, my back colliding with its solid surface.
My mind is blank. Totally blank.
I make my way towards the kitchen driven by an instinctive need for something to calm my racing heart.
I know I need a swig of cold water from the fridge to help me chill out. Chugging the water down my throat, I let my eyes seal shut for a solid minute. They remain tightly closed.
Still closed.I clasp my face with the palm of my hand, leaning down onto the kitchen island, my elbow propped on top. Silence envelopes the kitchen as I try to process everything that has just happened, attempting to make sense of the words that have escaped my lips.
What have I just done?
I agreed to marry him?
Him?
Aryan Kabir?
I agreed to be his wife?
Oh! Look at my confidence when I declared to him that 'We.are.getting.married!'
Look at my confidence when I boldly informed his dad to begin the preparations for our wedding!
I never imagined I would become so vulnerable to him that I would be willing to do whatever it takes to alleviate the pain he is going through.

Gazing up at the blue, clear sky in the morning, I begin the day with a wide grin on my face. The world around me bustles with activity, as mothers hurriedly usher their children off to school and workers scurry to their jobs. And I make my way to my favorite cafe.
As I walk in, the familiar aroma of freshly brewed coffee welcomes me. There's something undeniably special about sipping coffee in your favorite cafe on a lovely, sun-kissed morning.
As I approach the counter, all of a sudden my eyes catch a familiar figure standing next to me.
Aryan.
Sensing my sudden presence his gaze swiftly turns towards me, a frown etching his brow.
Wait. Why do I feel like this is funny!?
Somehow suppressing my smile, I steal a glance back at the girl, who meets my gaze with a slight smile.
Does she remember about that day?
