Tere Liye

Chapter 2 Haunting Past

Nandini's Pov

I walked past the lonely stretch ....I sat at the nearby bench....

Since two years I always come to this part. ....in search of peace that seemed to leave me two years back

I leaned my head over the bench and closed my eyes.

"I was a fool to believe you... A big fool... Now I get it tum dono hamesha saath kyun rehte the.... He always called you princess and you had no problem in that... Why would you have problem... You enjoyed it na... And I thought I am important to you... But I was so so wrong....You played with my feelings...But actually tum toh Dhruv ke sath enjoy kar rahi thi at the cost of my feelings... I didn't know you were doing all this behind my back....But what about my feelings Nandini... ? Kitne asaani se tumne mere feelings ke sath khela na... haan... Tumne yeh socha hoga na ki Manik is a rich guy...he doesn't have a heart so let's play with him ...."

"Tum toh badi player nikli..playing with two boys at a time... Playing openly with Manik Malhotra and playing with your so called bestie behind my back... Wow hats off to you Miss Nandini Murthy... "

"No I won't... I used to hate Dhruv but now I hate him more...I won't leave him...He was in this game of yours... You both planned it... So He has to pay for this... "

"Wow I am impressed....!! So much concerned about Dhruv.... Itna concern toh mere liye kabhi nahi dikhaya...?"

"Friends huh... good friends you have... duniya ke samne dosti and cootchie coo behind the scenes..."

"I HATE YOU NANDINI MURTHY.. I HATE YOU... DID YOU HEAR THAT I HATE YOU... AND YES EVEN I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU EVER AGAIN... SO THIS IS OUR END..."

Each and every word uttered by Manik started ringing in my ears...

Those words Seemed to pierce my heart like thousands of thorns... resulting in invincible pain...

Yes I know I had said him Hate You.... What could I do...If someone goes on insulting you how can you speak about love... ?

And what he did he too reciprocated my words with the same intensity...

You know Manik even after two years of our separation your words hurt me the same as they did two years back...

It's totally heart wrenching Manik...

(Tears are rolling through her closed eyes)

(Nandini remembering the night after break up)

That night I came home and told Navya everything... She consoled me... But that wasn't enough...

That was the worst night ever.... I wish no one should face such a worst night ever in his/her life...

The whole night I stayed awake...I was wailing ....But I was alone...very lonely...my world seemed to shatter.... I felt I have no purpose of living...The person whom I loved the most would ditch me I never expected.

How Manik...How could you say such harsh words... Didn't you feel anything before uttering the shit ..?

Manik you didn't trust me....You questioned my character.... How could you Manik...? How could you? I had never thought you would ever question my character....

I knew you had insecurities with Dhruv that's the reason I didn't say you anything when Dhruv had proposed me....

Yes Dhruv had proposed me...It was another shock of my life... The one whom I considered as best friend since childhood had feelings for me...A feeling that I could never reciprocate...
