Twisted Love

Chapter 36

"Are you serious? He really said that to you?" Shanaya asked me.
"How could he speak to you like that?" Alice said.
After returning home I could not focus on anything. That last look that Mason gave me was enough to ruin my whole mood.
How can he even think that I have feelings for Nate? What I had for Nate was just an infatuation and that's it.
I was totally surprised when I saw him in this company. Mason is the only person for whom I have feelings. Damn I was so happy with him. I wanted to tell him that I loved him but he doesn't understand a thing. He still believes that I have feelings for Nate. How foolish one can be. I never thought that he will be so stupid. Everyone has crushes in their lives then why can't he get over this?
Does he really hate me now? How can someone change so fast? One day he was treating me like I was his everything and the other day as if I was some stranger.
"Elena, you still there?" I heard Shanaya.
"Yeah. I just can't believe all this."
"You should have said something to him right there only, Elena. He has no right to speak to you like that." Shanaya was angry now.
"Yes and even if you want to be with Nate now, it's none of his business anymore. He was the one who pushed you away. He was the one who cheated on you. He was.." Alice was saying when I stopped her midsentence.
"Alice. Please. I don't want to listen to all this. Don't remind me of what.."
"Like you can forget all this." She said.
"Alice." Shanaya warned her to stop now and she did.
"Elena, she is right though. The way she is putting it is rude but you have to admit that she is right."
I did not say anything.
"Elena. You have to.."
"I am sleepy now. I will talk to you guys tomorrow." I was no more in a mood to listen to them.
"Alright. Take care of yourself." Shanaya said after a moment.
"You too. Goodnight Alice."
"Goodnight. I will see you tomorrow." Alice said.
We disconnected the call after that but that doesn't mean that I slept after that. My kind kept on thinking about today's incident. The way Mason looked at me but after all this I was certain about one thing. I no longer want to speak to him. Till now I thought that he is just upset after what happened with his mother but now I can't take this anymore.
It's been month's now that he has been like this with me. I tried to talk to him, to put some sense into his mind but I failed and I accept it now. May be we were not just meant to be. May be we should have never been together.
A flashback of all our memories started to play in front of my eyes. Tears started to roll down on my cheeks but I did not stop them. This is the last time that I am crying because of him. I am not a weak person. I can't let some guy make me so miserable but this doesn't mean that I don't love him anymore. I do. They say it's hard to forget your first love but I know that I have to. It will take time but it will go away.
I picked up my phone and opened a picture of Me and Mason. It was from Mexico just after Mason proposed me.
One of the waiter clicked it. I was not aware that Mason had asked someone to take our photos.
We had so many photos of that day.
In this photo Mason and I were dancing and looking at each other.
I don't understand which Mason is real, the one who is in this photo or the one who I see everyday in the office. I know what happened in his life was not right. His parents getting divorced has left a great affect on him but pushing everyone else away is not a solution.
Stop it, Elena. You won't think about this anymore. Be like before when he was just a boss to you. It was wrong of me in the first place to get into a relationship with my Boss.
Doesn't matter. Just few more months. That's it. After that I will leave this job and we wouldn't have to see each other ever again. I looked at the picture in my phone one last time and kept my phone aside afterwards.
Tomorrow will be a new day and I will try to be as much positive as I can be. I will not let Mason bother me anymore.
