❀ FLASHBACK ❀

"He-He che-cheated on me-me." I barely whispered, reaching out to the man, I needed the most right now. He engulfed me into a hug, shifting on the side of the bed.

I snuggled more into him, clutching his shirt tightly as I cried my heart out. His arms shield me from the darkness I had covered myself before his presence.

This is not how I wanted to put things out to my only best friend. I wanted to tell her the truth. And I tried my best to hold up small conversations with her from the past year but she never gave me a chance. No one was supposed to know any of the truth. It was a secret I kept hidden in my heart.

Is it really a secret?

Or the truth of my life.

The truth is, I've been running away from myself all my life.

Ayush Diwakar. The name itself brings pain to my heart. No matter how much I want to hate him, I can't bring myself to do that. He is the biological father to my child. And more than that, the only person who held onto me when no one even bothered about me.

Radhita says he cheated on me? He can't-

He cheated on me.

He won't. I know he won't.

He won't, right?

The tears falling out from my eyes are defining the exact opposite of what my heart wants to deny.

Denial of the truth.

"Meera, love, please stop yourself." I heard his pleading tone, which made my heart shrink more.

We always deny the love of the person who loves us more than anything in the world and only care about the one, who never even cares about us.

I felt a soft comforter, covering my feets and slowly moving up to cover me in his arms. The coldness of the room along with the warmth his arms were providing me, a hope.

For us. For love. For our future.

No! There never will be us.

We are together here, just for the little one.

And I know, I know he is taking care of me, just because I'm carrying his future heir or heiress.

"Love." He slowly whispered and started caressing my back, as I clutched his shirt firmly, holding onto him as if it's the last day of my life. "Please stop crying."

How should I Raghav? Tell me how I can stop myself.

All his words were only making me cry more. I want to stop crying too. But-

I can't. I can't Raghav. I want to but I can't.

This is the only way to accept everything for once today. Accept the fact that my parents never loved me, accept the reality that all they want from me is my money and along with all this accept the truth, that it was always one sided, from the beginning till the very end.

All these thoughts are only taking me back to the day, I almost had it found out.

FLASHBACK STARTS: [ One & half months ago ]

"Ayush, please be quick, we'll be getting late for dinner tonight." I shouted, from the living room, as I waited for him to get ready.

Today was the very first time we did it. I have this glow on my face. I smile widely, looking one more time, in the camera of my cell phone. The afterglow is what everyone calls it.
