Betrayal had faces and Betrayal had phases.

It came like love, friendship, blood, happiness, peace. It came with everything you thought it would never be like. It came on times you least expect it to be. It comes on times when you lose it. Certainly, you were just with a person for the time being who would just be good to you.

"How about these two? Which one do you like?" Mom put a bunch of sherwanis in my bed. She showed me a pale ivory color and a mint green coloured one. "Whatever you want, Mom." I am getting engaged to Tanisha. Officially. I want this to end. I know I am destroying many things but I do know it as well if I don't, things will destroy me.

"Why so disinterested?"

I stare at her. He probably was working up and down just because she wanted this so much. Afterall I am her only son. She always wanted to see me settled but who would tell her that I was carrying a stabbed heart, bleeding.

I sighed, "Mint green."

The engagement ceremony is being held after two days as I have to depart for an IPL match to Ahmedabad. I walk out of my room but my Mom stops me. "Have you invited your friends yet?"

Friends? Who is my friend?

"I will."

Of course these people need to attend it. I want to look at them when I finally move on. Though it's breaking me. I have been crying all night. I can't believe the fact that the woman I was crying for had already walked far away while I was just here hoping for things to work out, for things to settle, for her to come back to me.

I took my phone and walked towards the balcony. I sat on the couch that was kept on the open balcony of the floor. "Your tea, sir." One of the workers kept the cup of tea and I nodded at her. She left. I looked at my contact list as I forged through it to find the specific contact. Omar.

"Hello? Moosa?"

"How are you, Omar? You must be too happy."

I wanted to know. How was he? What was he feeling after having me break my heart? Pretty pleased I guess.

"Why did you call? What happened?"

"Nothing."

A terrible lie.

But I didn't want him to know how shattered I was. "I called you to invite you for Tanisha and my engagement ceremony."

"Moosa please."

"Please what, Omar? Are you not happy for me? I mean I am finally kick starting my life and you don't want me to do so."

"Stop bragging about it like you want it."
