When The Ex Meets

6. Let Go

Ryan's POV

I drove back home after dropping Sneha at her place.

It feels empty.
I miss her presence in the passenger seat beside me.

No!
I actually miss her presence in my whole damn life!

I sighed.

My lonely apartment welcomed me, as I kept the keys at the table and stepped further into it.

What's wrong with me? What am I even doing?! Why the hell am I forcing myself on her? Why can't I just let her go? Why can't I just accept our break up!?

You know why? Because I had never took our break up seriously! I had always thought that she will come back and its just a matter of time, Until she actually started working here at FCC News and then the realization struck me, that she had really moved on!
She had actually left me!!
And trust me, this truth hurts more with every passing day as I see her getting away from me.
It hurts so much to know that she ain't mine anymore! That I had lost her and maybe she won't come back again!!

But you know what hurts more?
The fact that now those eyes which used to adore me once, have this mix feelings of hatred and irritation in them!!

Today, back in my car I had witness a glimpse of that in her eyes!
When I had looked into them, they weren't affectionate like they used to, rather they had poison in them.

"I just don't trust you." She had said.

She don't trust me anymore. She is afraid that I might break her heart again. She seemed so vulnerable to the pain that had enveloped her once in the past because of me.

That's it!

I can't let myself bother her anymore.
I Love Her.
But I respect her more.
So, if that's what she wants, then Fine.

I'll stay away from you.

I will let you go.

I didn't even realize when had I sunk into my sofa, clutching my heart as if it will break any moment now, while tears trailed down my cheeks.

So it is really over for us, Sneha.
