Broken Without You

12. The Talk (Paris day 2 - part 3)

Chapter 12 - The Talk

Aisha's POV

Can you believe what happened today?
No you won't believe but anyway I'll tell you.

Breaking news...

Ruhaan Jindal kissed Aanchal Dhawan right in front of my eyes.

No no, that's not the breaking news.

Wait, let me reframe this.

The entire gathering at the party saw how Ruhaan kissed the life out of Aanchal Dhawan while I stood there watching them in utter shock.

He did it purposely to make me feel bad or jealous or whatever...I don't know.

I shouldn't be feeling angry right?
After all Aanchal is his to-be wife. He can kiss her, fuck her, do whatever the hell he wants to do with her so it just shouldn't bother me.

But it did.
I felt like crying, literally.
What I did instead?

I walked out of the party and then cried and I fucking don't know why.

I'll tell you how it started.

Remember I had decided I'll confront Ruhaan about his behaviour towards me and all that he did for the partner swapping and the weird behaviour at the dance floor?

Well, the moment I walked into the party hand in hand with Kabir, all the eyes turned towards us. One of the pair from the gathering was Ruhaan's.

The moment our eyes met, I could sense his mood automatically switch off.

I took in a deep breath and kept looking in his direction while he was busy indulging in some small talk with others around. He had a drink in one hand and Aanchal in the other arm.
They looked perfect together but something didn't look right.

My focus was totally on Ruhaan at that point of time.

I had discussed a plan with Ishika to take Kabir away from me for sometime so I would be all alone and in the little time that I would get, I would corner Ruhaan and talk to him even if it was for a minute.

Ishika, who wasn't initially willing to come to the party came without any furthur questions and did exactly as I told her to do.

You know Kabir is a really nice guy. He is someone I would truly like to settle down with. Like literally. He is that sweet but I don't know what's up with me from last fifteen or so days. Everything is deviating from my plan.

I don't feel like myself anymore. I don't know why but Ruhaan feels like he is a part of me but I know he is not and probably never was.

Once Kabir was taken away by Ishika for a dance, I grabbed a glass of red wine and dashed towards Ruhaan.

No I wasn't planning to throw or spill of splash it on anyone. Relax. I may appear as a person as crazy as a wild horse but trust me, I'm a very decent person.

Once I was at a safe distance from Ruhaan, I saw Aanchal. I gave her a wide smile and she smiled back.

My plan was working.
