Finding Ways to Love

Betrayal

I laid on the bed staring at the space. My tears had stopped which was replaced by a dull trobbing pain in the head. It was almost past 3A.M and I was far from sleepy. The look on his face flashed before my eyes making me shiver.I still couldnt believe it was him. That one incidence had changed him to a monster and destroyed my life completely.

I stepped out of the elevator to see Aaron pacing in front of the door.

"What are doing here?",I asked walking towards him.

"Finally.I thought you died or something", he snapped.

"You are supposed to be inside doing the decoration", I replied rolling my eyes.

Its was Ester's birthday. There was still a week left. But Aaron had to go out of the country for some of his father's buisness. And so he had planned for a suprise pre-birthday bash for her. And of course I was helping him out.

"I forgot my keys", he said scratching his head.

"Being useless!", I said fishing out my keys from my bag.

But he snatched the key from my hand pushing me aside and opening the door by himself. Jerk.

"I will change and come, by then atleast try and be a bit productive till then. Ester will be here by 9", I said walking towards my room.

I heard him curse me under his breath. Well we both held this mutual admiration thing for each other.

I grabbed my pyjamas when I heard a crashing sound. It came from Ester's room. I ran towrds her room and barged in. I left the ground beneath my feet slip as I stared at the scene in front of eyes.

It was Ester with her boss on her bed, lying half naked. I turned around to look at Aaron, who just stood there staring at both of them. He held a blank look on his face.

Her boss quickly picked up his clothes which were lying on the floor and dashed out of the room. By now Ester had a blanket wrapped around her and sitting at one corner of the bed fidgeting with her fingers.

A disturbing silence engulfed us. I was too stunned to react to the situation, but I was more worried about Aaron. He stood there mitionless staring at Ester with a blank look covering his face.

"I was going to tell you about this Aaron", finally Ester broke the silence.

"For how long all this is going on?" his voice broke

"We have been together since two months", Ester replied finally looking up. Her face reflected a mixed emtion of nervousness and fear. But she looked far from gulity.

Aaron rushed towards her, pulling her by her arm. His eyes hels so much of rage and hatred that evrn I could feel myself tremble.

"How could you do this to me?", he screamed.

"Leave me", she yelled back pushing him off. "I don't love you god dammit. I had been trying to explain this to for so long. What ever we had was never meant to br serious. Its not my fault that you thought this as love".

"What do you mean by not meant to be serious? Was this just a fling for you" he screamed, his voice dripping with anger.

"Yes maybe", Ester said massaging her temple, "I mean look at you Aaron. You are so immature, never serios about anything. Except for that face of yours what do you have. Whatever you are is just because of your father's name".

"Ester please stop it. Do you even know what are you talking about", I finally intervened. I had kept quite till now thinking its their personal matter. But things have just turned to get worse. Ester was making it worse for her and more for Aaron.

"Stay out it", she snapped turning towards me, "You have no clue about anything".

Yes I had no clue about what was happening. For me they were a perfect couple who were heads over heal in love with each other. I never felt that they had any problem. Nor ever Ester or Aaron ever tried sharing.May be somewhere it was my fault. Being their friend I should have known thats something wrong. But may be I was so busy that I couldnt look through their happy faces.

"Actually", Ester's voice broke my chain of thoughts. "Amber you are our friends for so long. You know Aaron as long as I do. Just answer my one question", she said walking towsrds me.

She came stood facing me. Her face had turned a bright shade of red with all the screaming.

"Would you ever choose Aaron?".My eyes widened at her question. I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came out.

"Look", she turned her attention towards Aaron. "Even a girl like Amber wouldnt choose you. And you expect me to spend my entire life with you. Aaron I deserve someone much better".

"Ester what are you talking?", I asked pulling her arm and turning her around.To hide her mistake, her guilt, her selfishness she was trying embarres that one person who truely loved her. I never knew that she could stoop so low.

But she pulled away my hand and headed towards Aaron. She gently took his hand in hers and stared in his eyes. I could see Aaron flinch slightly on her touch, but he stayed quite.

"I m sorry Aaron", her voice was low and soft, "I didnt wanted things to end in this way.But truth is that I love James and want to be with him".

she finished.

Aaron just stared at her. His eyes which was full of anger, was now masking a defeated look. He quitely slid his hand out of Ester and after giving one last look to her, he left.

I didnt hoped for this type of reaction from him.I thought he would scream, yell fight with her, will fight for her.But he just accepted defeat.I ran after him calling his name, but he kept walking.

"Aaron", I called, finally catching with him.I held out at his arm and pulled him so that now je was facing me. His face had turned into a dark shade of red, which showed he was trying very hard not to cry.

"Aaro.."But he only pulled his arm and left. I didnt tried to stop him this time because I knew he wanted some time alone. Today he had lost the most important person in his life, his love.
