"You--you what? " His voice broke as he managed to utter the words.

Tears flowed down My eyes , rolling on my cheeks .

" Yes.. I am getting married.. Goodbye Mr. Dashyant." That's it.. I couldn't hold my floody tears back , I broke but didn't fall..

I had to do this..
I had to take it towards an end..
Maybe this was it..

" No You are not " He rushed and held my hands..

"le-leave me.." I slowly mummered..

" I cannot!! " He looked straight into my soul now , Standing right infront of me.. Hovering me while standing .
" You cannot!! You can't just leave this here unfinished and do a freaking whatt??? A marriage?? Seriously?? Is that what you made up for? A marriage?? Noo.. You cannot ruin your life by this marriage.. You Cannot!! I cannot let you do so.. " He said that right on my face while I was taken back again by this shocking statement.

" I will "It took all my courage to say against him..
The man infront of me was not just a freaking temporary boss or any client..
He was the one only person I ever loved..
But now.. Distance from him was the only way to get happy..

"You won't!!"He commanded me so authoritively as if I am his...

" I will!!! Mr. Anuruddha!! I also deserve to live happily.. to have a marriage.. to make a family.. to get myself treated properly... Atleast I deserve to see My family happy.. don't I? Afterall I am just so perfect.. right?? I'mma a successful woman , Self independent , bold , have looks enough to please anyone I wish , A perfect daughter , A perfect employee and what not?? "

I started the words with tears in my eyes and my heart clenching but by the end , a sudden proudness and courage got in me which made me realise how good I am in real..

" You cannot be that selfish.. Can you? " A tear rolled down from the corner of his eyes , as if he held many more inside .

He stood there blankly, still his hand gripped on mine , not allowing me to leave .

" I can.. Anuruddha.. Trust me.. I can..and I will.." I said as tears continued to fall down .

" I cannot let you ruin your life by your own . " His words panged my heart .

" But I am worsening it by staying in your life . " I couldn't hold back the truth anymore .

" yo-uo- you.. you know what? You said about your family and all of their happiness and all.. but.. " He halted , took a deep breath and he struggled to talk now .
" What about your happiness? How can you marry someone whom you don't even love ? " He looked straight into my eyes .

I took and breath out a deep one.

" I heard happiness comes with time . Hope it would.. and.. " I stopped for a second but then continued , " The man I loved , never loved me.. so I want to give the chance to the man who loves me this time.. I was once fool enough to promise myself that I would die without him.. but I have to do the marriage."

Yes.. I was right..
The man I loved..
The man standing infront of me..
He never loved me..

His eyes darkened as he looked at me constantly.

" who is the man you love ? " He asked with an oceanic deep voice .

" not your concern... " I blankly replied.
