“Just get lost from here, I don’t even want to see your ugly face again.” His words pierced through my heart like someone had stabbed me with a knife.
Today, I saw something in his eyes that I’d always wanted to see—hatred. Hatred for me. But not like this. It feels like someone has taken everything from me.
“P-please… just listen to me once.” The girl who was never afraid to talk to anyone was now trembling in front of the one person she feared losing.
“I’ve suffered and listened enough, tara. Isn’t this what you wanted? You always wanted to go away from me, right? Fine, today I’m setting you free myself.” Yes, this is what I wanted… but not like this.
I didn’t want him to misunderstand me for something I never did, but isn’t that exactly what I did to him?
I always misunderstood him, hated him for years for something he never did. I deserve this.
I began to step back, moving away from Rishabh. Once again, I’ve ruined someone’s life, and now I don’t even deserve to live.
Tears filled my eyes, blurring my vision. I turned around and started walking away slowly. But for some reason, there was a sharp pain in my heart.
The pain of walking away from Rishabh, the pain of misunderstanding him.
“stop!” His voice froze me in my tracks.
His footsteps grew closer, his voice deeper. I didn’t waste a second and turned around, only to find him standing right in front of me.
“What did you think? That I’d let you go so easily? Especially when I know my child is growing inside you?” His words made my body go numb.
It felt like my heart had just dropped out of my chest.
“Wh-what? What are you saying?” I barely managed to speak through my sobs.
“Stop playing dumb,Tara. I know you know everything, and I know you’ve been hiding this from me,” he said, gripping both of my shoulders, making me flinch.
I could see the pain in his eyes. They were red with anger. Yes, I was hiding it from him for his own good… but how will he ever understand? How?
Tears started falling freely from my eyes. I didn’t even want to control them anymore.
