How much is too much?

Arjun's POV:

"Yes, it's all a drama", she said and walked off

Did I hear it correctly? Did she say everything was a drama? Wow! Dimple, how dare you say that to me? Did you know how much I swallowed my pride to do that in front of everyone...? How can you say that to me...how...what did you take me for. What did I do to receive such a treatment from you...It really hurts me Dimple, did you know what you just did to me. Please tell me that it's just unintentional or say that you said for fun...Please get back here right now Dimple...I confounded. I felt every bone in my body crumbled and want to howl my pain out. Something is definitely strange. I am more than confident that she loves me. People may lie, but actions won't. It was certainly not a drama.

I started marching over to her and broke into a run as I fought for my breath.

I grabbed her arm and she flung it off harshly. She starts to storm off and I tried stopping her again by grabbing her wrists and whirls her around safely, pinning her against the wall. With deep, shuddering breathe, I said "Dimple, don't go" she looked at me, her puppy eyes soaked in pool of water peering into mine "Just because I said, I will believe even if it's a lie, how can you lie through your teeth" I pleaded choking back my tears. She remained quiet and started avoiding my gaze.

"Dimple", I yelled and her body jerked at my outburst and she responded blubbering "Let me go. I don't want to see you, looking at you, I'm getting angry", she hung her head at that.

Angry? At me? For what? Is it because you learnt now that I turned your friend's sister proposal? I puzzled

"Do you even know what you just said? Are you serious? Dimple, look at me and say you don't want to see me" I insisted and she remained silent but her shoulders shaking with grief, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Fuck, what the hell! Why are you crying Dimple...I really wanted to kiss away all your tears now and I'm barely holding myself. What kind of brutal cruel monster am I to always make you to cry when all I wanted is to make you smile? I felt wretched...Am I that loathsome?

"Am I nothing to you? Tell me..." I screamed and punched the wall in utter frustration "Dimple, you are hurting me. I am holding you now with every single piece of my broken heart...if I let you go now..." I struggled

"Let me go! Let's not meet again even in dreams" she said now looking straight at my eyes harshly.

Stung, I let go of her and I muttered bleakly "I said, no matter what, I will believe you...I believe your lies, so go on if that's what you really wanted. I will never meet you again."

She walked past me and slowly...slowly the reality kicked in, I sank to the ground crouched down in sobbing.

It's been a week already. I worked 20 hours a day and stayed at the hotel. I've given my life to work now. I totally avoided meeting my friends and occasionally very occasionally spoke to my mom. She knew everything and all she said was "if it's meant to be, then it will be. If it's not, then it's not". Yup, it's easier said than done. Did anyone in this world don't know this? Everyone is well aware about that but still we pursue what we wanted badly that's why we are human being and not god. But, I'm not going to pursue her anymore; she said she doesn't want to see me. I will endure this pain if it's for her, I can endure that goddamn pain.

"Happy birthday Boss", Alex called me out and I stifled back a sob and looked up. He kept my favorite Juliet rose vase on my table and wished. "Thanks Alex, why are you still here. It's already 12, go home" I insisted and he was glaring at me and I knew he is struggling to say something.
