FALLING FOR YOU ..

XL -This Does Not Belong To Me

Freen's POV

I stood up when I saw Becky standing in front of me. She was not angry. At least I did not see anger...or that she is upset... But it was blank.. A huge indifference that I have never seen before. Even her voice was cold.

"Let her talk P'Nam...." -- She interrupted Nam from saying anything more and I could feel my mouth getting dry. I was afraid...to the core.. The last thing I wanted was to make her leave, without getting a chance to explain.

"Bec... Baby..... " -- I tried to hold her hand and she took a step back, breaking my heart.

Is she disgusted by me? She moved like my touch would burn her skin!

Her look would make holes in my head if it could.

"Are you going to say Freen? Or do you need more time? To come up with an explanation?" -- Her words can pierce so sharply now and I feel it, literally. I did not know how to start.

"Let me make it easy for you then... Please sit.." -- Becky said and sat on the opposite chair. I sat on the sofa and Nam sat next to me.

"It is you? Right? In the video?" -- She cleared her throat and asked. I nodded, hoping that the earth would split open and would take me along with it.

"Did you enjoy it?" --

"Bec....... " --- I stuttered.

"Just answer Freen...." -- The cold voice is getting colder it seems. I could feel my tears streaming down. I looked at my feet.. My hands shaking.

"So....? Old love? Or a new one?" -- She asked again...

"Fir....First ..one...." -- I could feel my voice breaking. Nam took my shivering palm in hers for comfort.

"Hm....... So? She is back...? For you...right? -- I did not answer the question.

"Who started it Freen?" -- She waited till I looked at her for the next question.

"We.... we both......." -- I could not complete the sentence.

"I need to know something also Freen..." -- She said and I tried to look at her.

"Who or what interrupted you??" -- She asked and I could not reply. I could not say Nam's name. It will risk their friendship too. I know Becky. She won't let go easily.

I did not reply and Becky was about to stand up.

"It's ...It's me Bec... Please sit..." -- Nam held her hand and requested her to sit.

"Oh... You knew it P'Nam? How can I blame you anyway Phi? You are her friend first of all... You are such a good friend Phi.." -- Becky said and Nam looked down.

She sat opposite to me once again. Looking straight into my eyes.

"Freen...... If P'Nam hadn't interrupted, would you have stopped?" -- I knew that the answer to that question will hurt her to the core... I just kept looking with my tears pouring down.

Finally I could see her cold demeanor breaking. Hurt spreading across her face, especially in her eyes. Unshed tear in her eyes.

"I have only one more question Freen...." -- Her voice was hoarse with emotions.

"Are...are you in love with her..still?" -- This time her voice broke. Tears started rolling down.

"Bec... Baby.... please...." -- I tried to get up and move to her.
