Bound by Fate | [✓]

38. I'm yours

"No need to explain anything, Advik because... We're done."

I stood there confused about everything that was happening right before my eyes.

What was the reason of the sudden fight?
What was happening?
Why is it that I was seeing a reflection of me and Evara eight years ago as I saw both my best friends landing in the same state as me.

I didn't want the fate I had suffered or the misery I had felt ever fall upon anyone else and even though that is exactly what was happening at this very moment I couldn't utter a single word. At least not anything that mattered.

.

.

"Atharva is he telling the truth..."
"Yes."

The moments which haunted me were back. Maybe because they never left.
.
.

The words Evara spoke the day she left kept ringing in my ears even though the scene in front of me was Advik and Ishani.

.
.
.

Ishani pulled her engagement ring off of her ring finger as the tears left her eyes, and before Advik said anything, she threw the ring on him.

She threw their engagement ring on Advik's face and warned,

"Follow me and you'll see me hurting myself." Ishani knew, Ishani knew there's only one thing Advik cares and it's her. Advik would never show his face to her if it means Ishani could be safe...

That was such a dirty move on her part.
These girls never realised how much they hurt us with their words and threats.

They don't understand the depth of our love.
They don't understand that we will stop our breath so that they can breathe. They don't understand that we will kill for them at a single word.
They don't realise the power theirs words hold to scar us for life.

I look at Advik's hopeless face and eyes void of emotions. But in their depths there was so much grief, so much pain, so much unfulfilled obsession.

And me.
Atharva Roy...
I stood there trying to decide who should I console.
Who? Should I stop first.

They both were my friends. They both held equal shares of my heart.

At this moment I felt them ripping up Atharva Roy. When they walked away from each other. I knew that I can't just support one and leave the other.

Evara who had been standing beside me recovered from her state of shock and confusion first and clasped onto Ishani's elbow just before she could leave the room.

Ishani glared down at Evara who was a few inches shorter than her. Her eyes filled with a kind or fire that would burn anything and everything that crossed her or her path.
