"It's all your fault!"

The wind howled erratically while she grimaced in annoyance.

He flicked her hair before giving her a piece of his mind, "It's not."

"Oh really, you were the one who was so engrossed in whatever book you were reading."

"It's Madhuri Patel's Unhappy Endings, not 'whatever'." He defended while she rolled her eyes.

"I've never heard of her." She brushed off sardonically.

"It's been a long time since you've read a worthwhile novel then." His words seemed to have offended her for she blared an intense gaze at him.

"Did that burn?" He smirked contemptuously, his hands firm on his hips.

"Not as much as memories with you." His face contorted at her rebuttal, his tightened jaw pleasing her.

He inched towards her, his teeth gritting in fury when he began, "You.."

"Don't even start, Sameer. We're stuck here because of you." She regurgitated, much to his frustration.

"No." He battled succinctly.

"Yes. You took so long to break your reverie from that book of yours." She said dismissively.

"You came here in the first place." He counterattacked.

"You followed me." She accused meticulously, suddenly realizing his presence hadn't bothered her but rather gave her a sense of comfort and solace.

"I didn't. I just happened to come here at the same time as you. It was pure coincidence." He spoke perjurious, his fingers crossed behind his back.

"Lies. You wouldn't have known this place if not for me." She scoffed, pointing her finger at him with raised brows.

"We discovered this place, Naina." He reminded her with an intense glare.

"No we didn't. I did. And I regret showing this to you." Naina relented.

"Don't force me to remind you of the past." He threatened, oblivious to the ache it revived within her.

With a grim expression, she sustained in absolute hysteria, "We need reminders for those we forget, Sameer. And our past is something I can never forget, no matter how much I want to."

"Do you have to blame me each time, Naina?" He cast a refuted glance, his shoulders however drooped.

"You deserve the pain, Sameer. Especially after everything that happened." Her voice cracked bitterly while her eyes glistened. Blinking away she controlled the rage of vulnerable emotions, maintaining her firm composure.

"Oh just get over it, Naina. It's been three years. I did too." He huffed in exasperation.

"Oh how I wish I were you, Sameer Maheshwari." She retorted before demarcating herself from his wrath that led to utmost vulnerability.

"Unbelievable!" Sameer muttered under his breath, his hands rubbing his forehead.

She seemed to have heard that for she turned on her heel and blasted, "To hell with you, Maheshwari."
