What's Written In The Stars [H.S]

Part 31

I let out a deep breath and knock on the door. I hear shuffling on the other side and then he finally opens the door.

"Hey." he says.

"Hi."

"Go to my room. I'll just come in bit."

I walk inside and see two suitcases packed on the floor.

Suitcases? Is someone leaving?

"Aditi, my room." Salman says firmly, as he walks and stands next to me.

I don't ask him anything instead I obey him quietly and go to his room and plop down on the bed. After Harry, Louis and Zayn left, I felt sad and really upset. I couldn't even have breakfast. That weird feeling called 'anxiety' kept me full. I am anxious because, one, I didn't know when was I going to meet Harry again after what happened and two, the thinking what Salman wants to talk about is really eating me up.

Salman enters the room and looks at me, gives me a small smile and takes a seat next to me, on the bed. My palms start sweating, I feel like I've been called to the principal's office, which I have never been called to.

"So?" I ask him cautiously.

"Aditi..."

"Just get to it." I cut him off.

"Is there something going on between you and Harry." he spills it out.

"What!" I exclaim. Of course there's nothing going on. I know I might have a teeni-tiny crush on him, but there's nothing going on. I love Salman.

"The concert night you met him, you spent the night at his place, then yesterday, you said you didn't want to drink, which was fine by me, but then you go out with him instead." he takes a deep breath, "And today morning, him on your bed, on you. It was just too much for me." he sighs and pinches his temple.

"The concert night I had fainted Salman..." I defend myself but he cut me off.

"You wouldn't have if you hadn't gone out with him in the first place!" he yells as he stands up. I'm taken aback by his actions. He's never yelled at me nor has he ever been upset or angry with me. Our relationship was perfect, too perfect.

"I told you everything! I didn't eat food at the previous restaurant because they had seafood! I was hungry and he took me for dinner! It's as simple as that!" I yell back.

"Fine! What about last night, then? You didn't want to drink, so you go ahead, ditch me, to have ice cream with him?!" he turns red, as he raises his voice.

I try to hold back, not letting my anger consume me. I take a deep breath in and tell him in a calm voice, "Salman, I just had an ice cream to celebrate since I didn't want to drink. Why are you making a big deal out if it?" I tell him as I grit my teeth.

"A big deal? A big deal? Seriously Aditi? Okay, tell me one thing, how would you feel if I did the same? If I slept with a girl, if I took her out to have dinner or ice cream, if I were on top of her?" he stares at me, "Tell me Aditi, how would you feel?"

There's silence, the only thing that can be heard is Salman's deep and heavy breathing. How would I feel? Of course I would feel as if he cheated on me. I would feel hurt, lost, I would feel left out.

"No reply. I understand, you're still gonna defend him, aren't you?" he starts pacing near the bed, as he runs his fingers through his hair.

I open my mouth, but then close it again. Not knowing how to put my thoughts into words, I stutter.

"Salman...I...listen...."

But he cut me off, "No, Aditi. You listen." he stops and kneels in front of me, holding my hands in his, he says quietly, "I know this is a rash step, considering how good our relationship was." he stares at me intently and continues, "I need some time. I'm leaving, Aditi."

"Leaving? Wha-what do you mean?"

"I'm no longer a part of the Dream Team. No longer a part of the Dazzlings."

And my heart breaks. No...don't say that.

"Salman, no, please, listen." Tears threatening to spill down my eyes. I try to hold them back.

"Aditi, I'll always love you, but I just need some time. Please understand." he says quietly, I can see his eyes watering up.

"I'll not meet him again! I promise!" I cry out as he gets up and let go of my hands. I get up and grasp his hands again trying to stop him from leaving.

"Salman, what are you doing?! Please just listen!"

"Sorry, Aditi. It's for the best." he says, sadness laced in his voice. He pulls his hand out of mine and turns around. He walks out of the bedroom and I follow him. He picks up his suitcases and heads to the door.

"Salman!" I sob harder.

He turns back around and whispers, "I love you to infinity."

Everything falls apart. I simply stand there, and watch him leave. I fall down, on the floor, crying my heart out, which has just been broken by the guy I loved with all my heart. How could he do this to me, when nothing actually happened? Did I hurt his feeling that bad? Did being with Harry, cause him pain? Guilt starts to eat me up and I'm torn.

Salman's POV

I take my suitcases and walk out. Tears roll down my face and I am not able to control them. I go to the elevator and keep pushing the down button till it pings open. I get in and take out my phone and switch it off. This is the most difficult thing I have ever done. But it's for the best. I love Aditi, damn, I love her more than I have ever loved anyone, but this had to be done.

I get out of the elevator and head outside wherea taxi is already waiting for me, which I had booked just before Aditi came. Iquickly sit inside and cry hard. My chest hurts, my head hurts, I feel brokenand torn for doing this to Aditi, to my sister, to everyone in fact. But I hadto do this. I didn't have a choice.
