Confession

Chapter 75

Break?
ARYAN

"I need a break!"

My heart stopped for a second the moment I heard those words coming out of her mouth.

"What?" I ask in disbelief. "What are you saying, baby?"

For few minutes she was all silent. I don't know what she was thinking, but then she said, "Break. I need a break from this relationship."

I let out a small chuckle and say, "You are joking, right? Don't joke with me like that, Vini."

"No," She mumbles. "I'm not joking."

"You are joking." I exclaim. "You are just...pulling a prank on me. Don't say that Vini."

"Aryan, I need a break." She says again.

"Break?" I grit and rise from my bed. "You want to break up with me, Vini?"

"No, I am not saying that." She exclaims. "I am saying that...I just need a break. I don't wanna break up. I just need a break from this relationship so that I can focus on my studies."

I huff and shake my head in disbelief. "You are kidding me, Vini. What break do you want?!" I almost shout.

"I can't handle two things at same time." She mumbles. "My studies and this long distance relationship. We can take a break for two years until we both graduate."

"Who the hell put this thing in your mind?!" I grit angrily. "Vini, stop this bullshit. At any cost, I am not breaking my relationship with you. Not even for a second."

"But Aryan—"

"First tell me, who the fuck gave you this idea?"

I sigh angrily while waiting for her answer but she doesn't answer anything.

"Speak Vini! Did you think this on your own?" I question.

"No," She mumbles.

"Then who?!"

She doesn't answer anything but instead I hear quiet sobbings coming from the other side. I sigh again, knowing that she has started crying.

"Vini, now don't cry." I say. "Just tell me the name. I'll not shout at you."

She sniffs while crying silently.

"Vini, are you even thinking?" I ask softly. "If we take a break then will you be able to live without me? Can you live without our late night calls, video calls, gifts and letters?"

She still doesn't answer anything.

I sigh again and suck on my lip, feeling scared of what she was thinking.

"I can't, Vini." I say softly. "I can't live without all these. I can't live without you. Our relationship. Our love." I say while feeling tears glistening in my eyes. "Will you be able to live like this, Vini? Without me?"

I could hear her breaths, her sobs, her sniffs. But all I wanted to hear was her voice.

As I wait for her to answer something suddenly she hangs up our call.

My phone slowly slips down from my hand, falling on the rug below while I fall down on my bed.

I groan and palm my face with both my hands.

What the hell has happened? What has happened to her?

What all rubbish she was talking? I wonder who the hell gave her this idea to take a break from our relationship. I swear I'll break that person's leg.
