Housemates

Bohot pyaar karte hai, Tumko Sanam

English Translation: I love you so much, dear.

Raj walked down the corridor of college after returning from library. It was almost 5 pm in evening as the college was almost empty at now.

He whistled and walked when he saw someone he never likes to see.

Cass was walking in the opposite direction of him as she abruptly stopped looking at him.

"Raj... " She muttered as she went to him but he rolled his eyes seeing Her.

And she felt a pang in Her chest.

"Are you enough with your coldness already?" She snapped as he furrowed his brows looking at Her.

"You and I both know you deserve this." He said coldly as she sighed in annoyance.

It was the last straw.

"I actually do not! Even after confessing it all, even after doing so much, I deserve it??? Woah, Mr. Raj, you snapped!!" Her behaviour had sudden changes, as she clapped very sarcastically, while Raj definitely thought that she's a maniac now.

"Oh really?? What exactly you did to me ever yet except giving me pain??!" Raj snapped as well, looking at her, as she shook her head in disbelief.

"It's not that Raj, I-"

"You never helped me!!! Never made me feel better when we were in a relationship!"

"Raj no-"

"Did you ever even thought about me after coming here!?? You just gave me pain and punishments for nothing!!!"

"I-"

"And you flirt with every hot man on the campus like wow, totally not giving me pain when you exactly know how much your existence hurt me!!"

"Raj-"

"You cheated on me!!! You fucking went to someone while all I did was waited for you all the fucking time!!!"

"Listen-"

"I LOVED YOU WHEN YOU LEFT!!! DID YOU EVEN EVER FUCKING LOVED ME???!"

"I STILL FUCKING LOVE YOU RAJ, DAMMIT!" She yelled finally, as Raj froze. He blinked multiple times, before actually processing what did she said. She panted loud, looking at him, her eyes softening.

"I still love you, I do. I literally thought I can move ahead from you, but I can't. Call it repenting my mistakes or my dumb self, but I can't be over you, Raj. I love you." She trailed off, blinking her tears away and gulping down the emotions coming in her, looking at him, who did not even batted an eyelash at her after the confession.

Raj sighed, looking at the ground, frozen at what she said.

She still loves me??? How could this happen???

Wasn't her love over ages ago??

Many questions popped in his mind, as he felt suffocating. He needed air at this point, he knew.

So, he did what he felt doing, walking past her and straight ahead, without even turning to look at her. He could hear very clearly her calling his name out many times, and he walked till he could not hear her voice, emotions rushing in him.

If I would have turned myself there, I would have fell in love, again.

Cass stood there, not even trying to run after him, sighing and licking her lips in concern, and uncertainty.

I think this was my last chance. My last straw.
