I was jerked awake by a call . I searched for my cell and with eyes closed I hit the accept button .
"Say". I mumbled sleepily .
"Happy one month baby." Shaurya whispered .
I felt strange cause I didn't like , neither did I do the baby stuff but it didn't matter to me , like the last month nothing mattered to me .
"Shaurya , um , thanks , I'm drained you know after all the tennis match in school and project , can we talk later . " I replied no more sleepy though .
"Okay." And Shaurya hung up dejected like he had done every single day for the last month for I had made excuses each day . It was difficult to come up with a new excuse each day but I had done it cause I didn't have stuff to speak to him , I felt nothing , I was just breathing .
I looked at the ceiling as I replayed that night again like I had done for the past thirty days , still fresh in my memory , like it had happened only yesterday .

I closed the door of Kiara's washroom behind me and wailed . I knew no one couldn't hear me because of the music and even if they did I didn't care .
I didn't feel anything , just that I was ripped apart into pieces the moment I saw Kiara in his arms , a place where I had imagined myself , my heaven , intruded by my very own best friend .
Fifteen minutes later I looked back in the mirror at the Evara I couldn't recognise , a broken , swollen eyes tear stained Evara stared back , haunting me .
I washed my face and headed towards home , I had to get out of here before I got suffocated .
I headed towards Kiara to say bye but there she stood in Aarav's arms , again , as they swayed slowly to a song .
Suffocated I rushed , too tired to even cry again .
"Evara , wait ." I turned and saw Shaurya inches away from me .
I stepped back .
"Where are you going , I have been looking for you in the whole party since an hour ." He spoke frustrated .
I was about to give an explanation when he hushed me .
"Let me speak today cause if I won't do it today , I wouldn't be able to ever. Don't get annoyed but just hold on " . But I wasn't hearing , my eyes were towards Kiara's hall where I saw Aarav and Kiara dance through the window , feeling devastated .
"Evara " . I looked and saw Shaurya on his knees holding a bouquet of roses , red ones .
I was taken aback as he got up waiting patiently . That very moment I saw Aarav rush outside to look for me , and I rushed towards Shaurya 's arms . Taking Shaurya and Aarav by surprise.
I saw Aarav freeze as our eyes locked .
He rushed in leaving me in an ugly position . In a place where it didn't feel right , where I didn't fit right , it didn't feel like my heaven .

"Evara , cheers to our one month ." Shaurya raised a toast to something that didn't even exist . I faked a smile . We had come for a dinner in celebration of something that was not even worth to be happy . The dinner was getting boring , actually I had lost interest in everything . I didn't hear Shaurya talk , lost I was playing with the dinner losing appetite .
"What the hell Evara !" Shaurya yelled taking me back by surprise as the whole restaurant turned to stare at us . Throwing couple of notes he left the table , leaving me alone as thousand unknown eyes stared at me .
Embarrassed and shocked I rushed out .
I saw Shaurya sitting in the parking lot as I silently went near him and sat at the parking lot steps with my heart beating wildly .
"Who is he ?" Shaurya asked me without caring to look at me , leaving me off guard , completely.
I remained silent .
"I tried everything I could to make you mine but I couldn't . For the last one month you were there with me at the parties , in library , in canteen ,in classes , at movies , but you were never there .  You didn't respond to my thousands messages even once , you didn't even bother to look at them . You didn't pick my calls and even if you did once in a thousands time , you would have nothing to say and would hang up with some excuse . Cmon Evara I can't pretend anymore cause in this relationship only I'm there , you were never there . " Shaurya finally spoke bitterly .
He was right , every word he spoke was valid . But I had nothing to justify , nothing to say .
" Look into my eyes and tell me Evara , these beautiful eyes , every time I look at , I find them in constant search for someone , and damn that's definitely not me ." Shaurya kneeled down and looked directly into my eyes , and I looked at his with honesty for the very first time . I felt exposed but it didn't matter .
"Is it  Aarav ?" He whispered searching for an answer and when my eyes gave him his answer he stood up  and walked back to his car .
" Get in Evara , it's a long way . " he rolled down the window and asked me to get in . Hurt spread all over his face .
" I'm sorry " I mumbled getting in the car . 
"I need to know from the beginning the whole story and tell me everything , don't hide anything ." He ordered .
"But where are we going " ? I asked as he took the road that didn't lead to my home .
" Aarav Mehra's home " .  He replied as I started to narrate about my broken forever , my murdered fairytale .
