Someone's voice behind Karthik. It wasn't someone I couldn't recognise. It was a well-known voice. I tried to ignore it but it was loud enough to make my breathing hitched.
"Put down the phone baby....Come back.... You can entertain her another day" the sultry voice trailed behind as I inhaled sharply.
Jia?
--------------------
Sona's POV
How could I have not guessed? I knew Jia more than anyone did. I felt dumb to have thought that karthik would be loyal to me. After all, he was a rogue himself. Why would he even wait for me for so many years?
"So-"
"Bye Karthik!" I spoke furiously and switched off my phone.
I didn't know what I should be feeling now? It was obvious that karthik was cheating on me....but that didn't hurt. Maybe a small part of me was feeling guilty whenever I talked to Abhi. I was afraid of betraying Karthik's trust but now, everything was gone. At least I wasn't having an affair like him!
I placed my hand on my chest, still feeling the frigid cold, surrounding my heart so I know it's there, but lately I couldn't feel it beating anymore. Some say that you find purpose in the simplicity of your heartbeat. But I no longer know where my purpose lies. I was afraid, I guess. I can no longer feel anything as strongly as I once did. I was afraid of going completely numb.
That's when Abhi's thoughts invaded my mind. I needed to call him. Switching on my phone, I quickly dialed his number. He had to be upset but I needed to make him understand. He didn't pick up the first time. But on the second attempt, the line went through.
"Hello...." I licked my dry lips and waited in anticipation.
"Sonakshi..." his voice was nothing but a plea. He sounded so upset till it made me guilty.
"Abhi... please don't believe Natasha. You know how she is, right? She-"
"I didn't trust her." he interrupted me.
"What?"
"I don't trust her Sona. I didn't... I knew she was wrong..... I trust you. In fact, I always have. I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to trust you. I knew you couldn't do something like that.... I am sorry for the messages I sent you earlier. It was sent on anger.....I am so sorry" he spoke and that's when I felt a strangled sob leaving my throat.
Finally.....someone believed me. Abhi still believed me...
"Abhi... Thank you sooo much. I........" I sobbed.
"Sona...it's ok darling!"
"I can't explain how much this means to me Abhi..........I....You mean a lot to me Abhi" I said and cried more. I had never felt this overwhelmed before. I had to tell him. He had to know how important he was for me.... I felt like he needed to know how much I liked him. If this wasn't love, I didn't know what would be.
"Sonakshi?" he gasped as I continued crying.
"Where are you Sona...? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" he panicked.
"Abhi.... Nats chased me away from the apartment....I...."
"What??? Is she crazy? Shit..." he cursed as I heard his heavy breathing through the phone.
"Abhi-"
"Tell me Sona... Are you ok? Where are you? I am coming right away"
"I...am-" before I could answer him, I felt a strong push which made the phone land on the floor in pieces.
