I took a cab and went straight to the address that was given to me. I walked towards the building angrily, thoughts drowning everything around me
"What if it's a lie?" It better be
I knocked at the door with full force, immediately it was swung opened I stormed towards him who was having a good laugh with his new girl.... Jealousy? I don't feel it. He gave me a 'What the fuck' look but I could care less
"I tried to stop her" The gateman said as he shoved him off with his hands
"We need to talk" I said "We?" He asked chuckling "I don't care. I am going to ask a question and you had better be honest" I said through gritted teeth as he cleared his throat and sat up right
"Hello? I am right here" His girl said and I gave her the stay out of this look, glad she understood
"Is this..." I gestured at him and her as well as everything around as I swirled around "All fake?" I asked "What are you talking about?" He asked as well and I chuckled "Of course you wouldn't, you're a master of your own lies" I said as he looked at me confused
"Let's say the walls have ears and I might as well checked in at the hospital you got admitted, no record of a head injury talk more of a brain damage, tea spilled" I smiled. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead
"I seriously don't know what you're talking about" He had the guts to deny, I just don't understand why he is still lying
"Why did you lie? Wasn't I good enough? I saw a future with us" I hate that I had to cry at this moment I needed to be strong
"I seriously don't know why I came in the first place... Maybe I was hoping that somehow you'd tell me the truth but I was wrong" I sniffed "You both should have a wonderful life" I said my farewell and headed to the door
"WAIT!" He yelled, I didn't stop walking, he jumped in obstructing my passage "Move" I whispered
"MOVE!!" I yelled angrily "NO! Maryam you have to listen to me" "Oh wow, suddenly my name pops out of your mouth" I chuckled "I can explain"
"I don't need your explanation" I got into the cab as he stopped the driver from moving "Don't you dare" I threatened "Drive on" I ordered the driver "Don't" He stopped him again and dragged me out
"How dare you?" I slapped him but I am the one hurting "You can do whatever you want but you have to listen" He said as I folded my arms "I know you can never forgive me and it's okay for you to hate me" He started "I can't believe you right now" "Larzus said that he would be back if I show any sort of affection"
"What a coward you are" I spat and there was guilt on his face "He had promised to take your life" He said sadly "And what makes you so sure?"
'By the seven skies and the seven grounds, the depth of the ocean and the brightest of the sun that blinds, if you two ends up together I would be back and by so I will take her soul'
"Those were the words he left me with, haunting me in my sleep. There was no mercy in his voice, I can't lose you to him, I rather lose you to someone else" He said with tears now spilling
"You know that I rather die in your arms" I said almost choking on my tears as my voice began to fail me
"Why didn't you say something? Why?" I asked "Do you have the slightest idea of how much my heart had ached?" "Not as much as mine.... in every heartbeat" He replied "I couldn't think of a better way into telling you...I am sorry for breaking your heart like that" He apologised
"How am I sure you are not lying about that also?" "I know it would be hard for you to trust me again but I just hope that someday you find a space in your heart to forgive me, my feelings for you has never changed... I just want you to be safe" I left without uttering a word
Those words rung in my head as I lay in my bed for sleep to take over. Hopefully, this is all a dream
