Midnight Whispers (short stories collection)

Urvi's Pov

The final semester was over and we finally had our placement letters in our hands. Earlier, I thought I'll choose Bangalore, since it was hub for IT, also because he was based there. But now I wanted to go back to my city, Delhi, and lead a peaceful life there. My family was still not aware of what depressed life I am leading. They had no idea about Advait. And now, they never will have.

He had called me almost everyday for last two months, wanting to give explanation. But I was just numb. I was not feeling anything. No love for him --which I anyways never did, I am grateful for that---  but no hate as well. I felt nothing.

 I felt nothing.

Earlier, I was devastated. Even if I didn't loved him. I almost did. I was loyal. I had thought I'll be having future with him.

Fool. fool. fool

 I felt sad, sad for my fate. I felt bad, bad for myself. I felt pity sympathy anger and what not. But all for myself.

Nothing for him.

He don't deserve shit from me. And he won't be getting anything anyways.

I was packing my bag. I was finally leaving. Leaving this hell hole. Leaving a life which gave me nothing but misery, even if it was fir an year only.

I knew Advait was a playboy before ---even after in being a relationship... but anyways--- but he had promised, when he had pursued me. I did had a liking for him, but I did not wanted to have a relationship with him. I knew it had high risk. But he promised, swore up and down, that he won't look at any other girl. He lived upto it for around six months before he started his unorthodox relationship with.. someone I still don't know the name of.

I hope they have a bright future. So bright that they go blind.

I was busy cursing my fate and the whore I fell for --fell in the trap he made me walk into--  when my roommate Nikita walked in. She was my friend. Note-was. Taking she knew everything about them. That man whore and his whore but did not tell me a thing. Not even a clue.

The only friend that was true to me was Lily. Lily is my best friend and is right now dating Malik for two years. She had a hard life and she was the quietest species alive on earth. I am not even kidding. 

She did not knew about Advait's infeidilty, but Malik did. He even tried to make him understand that he was doing wrong but Advait won't listen. Lily was very angry at Malik and broke up with him. I tried to pacify Lily saying it was not his mistake. When he had enough of Advait's cheating he called me, he told me, he made me witness it.

But she won't listen.

I knew after few days, after she is peaceful enough, she will forgive him. It is always like that with them. 

Nikita came inside with slow steps.

"I...I" She started but I continued to pack my thing. "I am sorry Urvi, I really am." She said and I just nodded. After a few minutes she sighed aloud --Shakily-- I dare to add. 

"I know I should not meddle your business, but he was standing in front of the apartment for five hours now." My gaze snapped at her as the Man who destroyed my life, my dreams came in my view.

Ignoring his red rimmed eyes I glared at Nikita.

"How dare you." I said, my voice, coldest I ever heard.
