One Fated encounter ✓

A LIE in every beLIEve

Arjun's POV:

Dimple, when are you going to call me? I'm just counting only the seconds...Minutes and not the pain I'm going through now. He said, your friend who has seen you in your thick and thin said that you were planning to propose to me on my birthday...I'm not expecting much, just call me or even a message could save me from dying. It's 11 pm and I'm still sitting the way I did since last night expecting to hear from you. I could not even hide my tears anymore as it's escaping from my eyes uncontrollably as my pain in my heart increases.

"Hey, this is your first ever birthday you spent the entire day at home glooming over the phone" Vicky smirked and Steve continued "James said her family moved and not traceable. Alex also confirmed that, you didn't try reaching her and that's why we thought to inform you after your birthday. How did you know her brother's number?"

"I was not aware that they moved. If I would have known why in the world I would go to her house yesterday...2 days back I got an auto triggered message with a number who stored my number. Thanks to the VIP special info services. When Arun said they moved and their whereabouts unknown, I thought it must be Dimple who would have saved my number in her phone which triggered a message. So, I called up that number and Vicky picked, I messaged him to listen to the conversation." I explained

"Then instead of sitting lost, call him up and talk to her. She must be depressed with all that happened Man", Mats said concernedly

"That's why I'm giving her space...she must be feeling miserable now and I don't want to poke that further" I said bleakly

Dimple, I know you must be missing me too and you would be devastated with your friend's betrayal...I'm just giving you time because I understand that you would feel uncomfortable looking at me as we fought so much about your friendship. I'm letting you to stay away from me because you have been through so much, but don't make me wait for so long.

It's been a month now that I waited patiently for her; she was not really bothered about me. Dimple, did you know you pushed me away because of your damn friendship? Did you really know that I'm suffering here? Every day in and out, I hoped she would call me back, as the day progresses, my fear of losing her increased drastically. I thought I should not involve a third person between us and thus didn't really talk to Vicky about our issue. Vicky got transferred and it's so happen when she uncovered Arun's true side and they left to the new city. I spoke to him today morning and he confirmed that she is still the same, keeping herself closed in the room and having hard time. He requested if I can come and visit her as their parents are out of town.

I called up Alex and told him to cancel my schedule for 2 days. Dimple, just know that I hate you so much now that if I see you, I'm not sure what I would do to you. I was kept telling myself on how to talk to her without losing my temper. When I reached the place, my heart raced crazily at the thought of seeing her. It's a single storey building which is quite similar to the one she stayed earlier except there is no balcony. I rang the bell preparing myself to see her.

Vicky opened the door and invited me in, the living room seemed plain, and the atmosphere looked different. My eyes started searching the only person they wanted to see and Vicky came back with a glass of juice and confirmed that she is in her room directing the gaze to the floor above.

"Arjun, I'm sorry I had to go, there is an emergency and got a call from the hospital. I will be back in an hour. Keep yourself comfortable", he said while picking up his court and I stood up "Vicky, call me once you are in. I will come back", I declared.

"Arjun, there is no such formality. Go up and talk to her. Anyways, you guys need space. I will be back shortly", he said and left.

I felt terribly uncomfortable as I strides towards her room. During the past 1 month, I had framed and reframed what I would ask her and how I should chide her for all that she did to me. Even though I knew how it would be for her to take her friend's betrayal, I felt terribly cheated about the fact that she still gave him importance. The fact that she rejected me and the way she abandoned me made me furious. How can she treat me so little that she didn't even bother about me. Arjun, remember all the time that you acted stupid and made her cry, every time she gave in and came back to you forgiving you and understanding you, cant you do the same thing, my mind questioned me.
