8 | Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

Abhay's POV :
I was in a disarray of thoughts.. I felt sick.. How could I choose one of them?!
" Say!! ", Sahil shouted at me.
" I.. I.. ", I shut my eyes.. I tried to speak my heart...
" I choose... Nandini! ", I said at last.

I opened my eyes.. My chest felt heavy.. Just then I heard Sahil clapping, slowly.
" Amazing! Amazing Mr. Abhay.... First love was the choice.. Lovely.. So romantic.. ", he said with a wicked grin.. I didn't look up at Nandini or Anika but I was sure both of them were shocked...

" Oh.. I'm so sorry for Anika, she loved you so much but.. But you are so mean.. You chose Nandini?! Unbelievable..! ", Sahil continued.
He had been walking towards me for so long.. He held my cheek bones and held it up..
He looked into my eyes.. I knew he had all the hatred in the world his eyes..
I didn't reply.
I didn't know why I chose Nandini..

Just then I heard the sound of a bullet and it went straight through the chest of one of the gangsters standing near the gates.
Sahil left my face and ran.. Somehow my ropes had become loose... I quickly unwound myself and ran behind Sahil as fast and possible..

But well I couldn't catch hold of him.. He was gone..!
"Sir, you are fine?? ", said Vivek, my assistant.
" Ya. ", I replied trying to catch my breath.. I walked back.

As I walked up to Anika and Nandini.. I noticed their expressions.
All in total astonishment.. Even I myself was astonished at my choice.. Why did I choose Nandini truly I didn't know but yes to tell her i had a jolly good reason.
I looked at her trying to sound rigid and said,
" Don't ever imagine that I have any feelings for you.. It's just that I knew that Sahil won't do anything to Anika. ",
I said and walked towards Anika trying hard to ignore those wet eyes of Nandini..
" At least you thought I was deserving to stay alive. ", Nandini said wiping off her tears.
For a second I stiffened,
Just then when I remembered where she deserved to be..
" Vivek arrest Nandini! ", I said and walked off with Anika.

Nandini's POV :
I don't have any hope of Love from him.. I don't know why he doesn't want to understand one fact that it wasn't me who tried to kill Anika.. It wasn't!
As the police officer was putting hand cuffs in my hand I looked up at him. He was looking back at me.. As though trying to read my thoughts.. I didn't have any idea what was going on in his mind, then I looked at Anika. She was looking towards the floor.. Not quite looking at the stiffened man in front of her. I knew she loved him a lot but how can I help is he suddenly has enlightenment and chooses me..?

Abhay's POV :
I made sure that Nandini was inside the jail and then returned home.. Anika had come in earlier.
I went into her room and she was sitting beside the window facing opposite to me.
" Ani.. ", I said.
She, I suppose rubbed her tears and turned towards me.
" Ya.. Ya say. ", she said.
" Why were you crying?! ", I asked her.
" No.. Nothing ", she lied... I walked up to her kneeling down and asked,
" Is it because of Nandini? ", I asked her softly.
" It's not her.. It's you.. It's the way you are behaving nowadays.. Tell me the truth Abhay.. Do you love her? Keep your hand on your heart and reply.. Do you love her at all.. Do you? ", she asked... I didn't know what to say.. Truth.. I'll tell her all my feelings.. But the fact is.. Do I love Nandini? Do I?
Do I love her even after she had broken my heart..? If not then why did I say that?
