Niyati: Their Destiny

29. Forever

Roop's pov

(There's another chapter before this, many of you guys skipped it😭😂 so just letting you know already now.)

He looked happy with her. He looked free with her, unlike me. This is wrong. It was stupid from the very beginning. I took away his life. I do not have the right to feel bad because there's someone or there could be someone in his life who's not me because that's how it was always supposed to be.

I was never supposed to be a part of his life. Not now. Not years ago.

"Roop."
"Roop, look at me."

"You took it wrong. We were just walking, and she tripped. Trust me, Roop. There's nothing more to it." Raj said, almost panicking as he barged into the room.

"It's okay, Raj. It's okay. Breathe. I trust you. I know you could never betray me." I said, taking a deep breath, and he calmed down a bit.

"You don't have to do it, you know. She's... She's good for you. We can just.... we can e.. end it." I said, trying my best not to stutter.

Why is it hurting so much?
Why Roop?
You decided now to get attached to him, right?
So why now?
Why this pain?
Why these feelings?

"End it?" Raj asked, chuckling bitterly.

"Ye..ah afterall it's all just a facade." As soon as these words left my mouth, he pinned me to the wall, his right hand circled around my waist and left hand on the wall.

I gasped due to his sudden and so unlike him reaction.

"So that's what it is for you? A facade?" He asked in a dangerously low voice as he came even closer to me.

He looked hurt.
And i was the reason.
But the longer i stay, the more painful it'll be for both of us.
I am afraid i might just start feeling things for him, which i always hated.
I know i am selfish, but i don't care.
I can bear physical pain, but nobody taught me how to bear this pain, and i know I'll die because of it.

"That's what we agreed on." I said, gulping nervously as he ducked his head down.

He stared into my eyes without saying a word. Our noses were brushing, and i noticed his gaze shifting to my lips.

"That's what we agreed upon, huh?" He said roughly, and i gulped.

"I'll manage everything. You did enough, now you deserve to be free." I said.
I don't know why it hurted to say that.
But it'll hurt more if i stay longer.
How do i manage to mess everything up every single time!!!

"What if i don't want to be free?" He asked, looking back into my eyes.

Don't say things like that, Raj. It gives me hope.

"What if i like being tied to you?" He asked again.

"I don't believe in these ties." I said as we somehow shifted even closer.
We were breathing the same air.
My heart thudded against my chest, still not used to him being so close to me.

"Do you believe in me?" He asked, his lips brushed against mine as he spoke, and my stomach churned.

"More than i knew i was capable of." I replied with utmost honesty.

"Then just believe me, i have never felt more free. You'll realize it too with time." He said softly, caressing my cheek.

"I have nothing that you want to be tied to me." I said, averting my gaze from his eyes.

"You are everything to me. You look at my way, and i am done. You smile at me. I am done. Hell, you exist, and i am done. I can't help it." He said, as his hot breath caressed my cheek, making me feel things i have never felt before.
And i just stood there dumbfounded.

How can i not want to have this forever?
How can i not want someone like him by my side?
How can i not want to be with him every single time i breathe?
But I'll ruin everything just like i do always.
Or maybe I'll end up getting hurt.
But the little possibility of having this forever seems tempting to me.

"Can we... can we have it forever?" I asked nervously, and he looked at me with a small smile and opened his mouth to say something but before he could reply, we heard a knock on the door, and we quickly made some distance between us as he cleared his throat and i looked here and there awkwardly.

He unlocked the door, and his mother was standing there looking worried.

"What happened, maa?" He asked, looking at her worried expressions.

"Come downstairs." She said, urgency evident in her tone, and he nodded. I was about to walk with them too but his mother held my hand.

"You are not coming downstairs." She said, looking even more tensed.

"But why?" He asked, and she looked at me for a brief moment and took a shaky breath.

"Just don't." She said, taking a deep breath.

"It's oka...." I was about to say, but Raj interrupted.

"But why, Maa?" He asked again, frowning.

"It's a family matter." She said, and i blinked my eyes multiple times, trying to process what she just said.

This wasn't supposed to hurt me as much as it did.
Stop over reacting on every little thing.

"Maa...." Raj was about to say something, but i shook my head in denial.

"She's right. I shouldn't come downstairs." I said, trying to hold back my emotions and went inside the room as his mother shut the door after leaving.

I heard the faint noise of him and his mother arguing but i just covered my ears with my palm not wanting to eavesdrop them or maybe invade their privacy.

What the hell were you even thinking, Roop?
What forever were you asking from him!?
How can you be so idiot?
How can you forget that you are alone?
How can you think that you have a family now?

Stop being so delusional and pathetic. They are keeping you because they are good people and that's it. Nothing more!

Kasme, wade, pyaar, wafa sab baate hai baato ka kya?
