We Belong Together

Chapter 27

_Fareesa's POV_

It has been two whole days since we talked like a real couple. It hurts to see us like this. It was like a knife going through every part of my skin. We act like we are complete strangers that never met before.

My heart felt as if my blood had become far as it struggled to keep a steady beat. A melancholic mood hung over me like a black cloud, raining my personal sorrow down on me wherever I went.

I tried to keep myself busy with housework and University but my mind still went to him. I wonder if he thinks about me or even misses me. I know I miss him very much.

A lot.

The aching in my heart would not stop no matter what I do to keep myself busy. We stay in a different room and eat at a different time. Sometimes if we come across each other, I would try to talk to him but he walks straight past me, which hurts.

I was waiting for the bus to come, so I can go to University. I stopped going with him. He never offered a ride but he would just stop in front of me and wait for me get in. Me being stubborn, decline by walking away from the car to University.

"Hey Girl! What you doing, standing there?" Sarah pulled over her car and stopped in front of me

"Hey, nothing really. Waiting for the bus to come" I answered with a shrug

"Hop in, I'll give you a ride. It's about to rain and you standing there is going to get you very ill" she smiled

"Thanks"

Opening the car door, I got in. After putting on the seatbelt, she headed to the University. The ride was quiet and I wasn't in the mood to talk.

"So where is your hubby?" she winked

"I really don't wanna talk about it" I mumbled, looking away not feeling like thinking about him right now. 

"Oh, tough fight, huh?" she questioned

"You could say that but I really don't want to talk" I gave her a hint

"Of course. Just so you know that I am here if you need a shoulder" she offered a smile

That's what I love about Sarah. She doesn't push until you tell her yourself. It was nice of her. 

"Thank you" I nodded my head

"Well, we are here" she sigh, turning off the car engine and got out of the car

I followed behind her, "thanks for the ride. I own you one."

"Don't say that. That is what friends are for" she stated with a gentle smile, "hope everything turns out well for both of you."

"I hope so too" I mumbled under my breath and looked at her walking away.

University ended very soon and I headed home. I was exhausted from University. I stopped in front of the gate and took out my phone. Ready to call Asher but then I realized that we are not talking to each other anymore. It would be very awkward for me to call him so that he can pick me up.

The tears burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down my face. I feel the muscles of my chin tremble like a small child. I don't know why I was crying all of the sudden. It was unexpected and it ran down to my lip. I whipped the salty tears off of my eyes.

There wasn't any bus to take because I missed it. Not because I was too lazy to get off the University quickly, it was simply because I went to talk to the head department.
