Present-26 years
I stepped in the lift and pressed the button of our apartment floor. There is nobody else in the lift I looked at myself in the mirror of the lift and sighed.
What have I done to myself I was never this person I am watching in the mirror. I am getting aloof from myself. This sham of a strong women is slowly fading away.
I ruminated about the situation I am in and realised there is only way to come through this and that is to ignore his presence.
But that's the challenge whenever he is around me I feel like going in his arms and cry my heart out and demand answers that why is he doing this but my brain is doing a remonstrance against the idea of embracing him. I lclosed my eyes and reopened them to look at my reflection.
"You have to pull yourself together Ahana begrudgingly for your company. You can't destroy everything for him who doesn't give a damn about you and when your company is at its peak you can't risk it Ahana. You can't." I said this in my mind.
Ting of the lift put an end to a skirm with my inner self and I stepped out of the lift. Heels clicking to the floor I reached for the doorbell but I noticed the gate was quite ajar so I opened and stepped in and hurriedly closed my eyes with my palm because I saw Aaravi and Vid snogging
" Oh my virgin eyes and please guys get yourself a room or lock the door atleast. Nobody is interested in watching live porn. "
" Stop overreacting as if you saw us having Sex and yeah you can remove that hand from your virgin eyes. "Aaravi said last two words quoting in the air.
I walked inside and settled on the couch with my head leaned back.
" Where were you ? " Aaravi asked
I signalled her with my hand that we will talk after 5 minutes.
" Ok so you guys continue I'm buzzing off. Bye Ahana." Vid said
" Bye and don't forget to wipe that lipstick mark from your neck. "
" I like to carry proofs with myself that I'm the luckiest bastard in this planet to be with your best friend." He said looking at Aaravi and she was all red. But replied sassily
" You should because everyone should know you are off limits and my lipstick is costly to waste on someone else who's not worth it. "
" I'm saying again book a room" I restorted
" Bitch " Aaravi cursed me but I gave her a flying kiss. I stood up from the couch moved towards the kitchen to pick a water bottle from the fridge. From the counter I saw Vid leaving but not before kissing Aaravi on her forehead. Oh how much I adore them.
My love life would also have been same if he didn't realised to recognise me. It have been two years to that day and still the wound is fresh and everytime I think bout that it feels like someone is pressing that wound really hard that pain shots through my whole body.
