Anushka

I couldn't remember the last time I had been at this bar, drinking my life away.

Was it on Diwali? The first night I had met Virat? Or was it after that? I couldn't remember.

My life had always been about myself, and so it should have been. But slowly and gradually during the past year or two, I had lost the image of my own and instead had starting living my life for the sake of the ones that I loved.

I had started to depend on them for my happiness, for my pleasure.

It was something that I knew I needed to change. At the same time, there was a part of me that needed closure. That needed answers.

I knew I should not have called him. But I needed this, I needed to have my closure before moving forward.

I could hear his breath, his inhale and his exhale as if he was struggling.

"I know you told me never to call you, but just once..I need this. One last time." I said, inhaling a breath myself. A deep one.

"Thank you. I need it too." He responded.

We stayed on the phone for a while, not saying anything, just simply silent.

"Can I start, please?" He requested, his tone was way too soft as if he had been so lost all this time. It worried me,.

"Yeah.."

His breath shuddered as he spoke, there was a certain way that he talked with this time, like he was pondering over every single word.

"I just want to say that ever since you left, my life has not been the same. I have struggled, in every way. Possible. I don't regret leaving you but I do regret leaving you all alone. I just want to say how sorry I am for everything." His apology made no sense to me.

Where did this sudden realisation come from?

"Why are you saying all of this now?"

"Because now, I understand." He stated. I frowned.

"How?"

He took a while to speak but then started to speak again. There was nothing else but his voice over the phone, it felt like he was all alone.

"The moment you kissed him-" I interrupted him.

"I did it to make you feel hurt. He's gay-" He interrupted me as if he understood.

"The moment you kissed him..I knew exactly how much I loved you, love you and how much it hurts seeing someone you love with someone else. And the moment, Sonam left me, I understood how much loneliness hurts."

My eyes raised at his explanation. Sonam left him? Was it all because of me? Had I done that? Had I broken a relationship? But Sonam had to know, she had every right to know the truth.

"She left you?"

"Yes. After she got to know everything."

"I told her, you know." I said the truth.

"I know. You did the right thing. She didn't deserve me." His voice had such vulnerability. It surprised me.

"Don't say that." My heart betrayed my mind and the words left my mouth before I could stop them.
