THAT'S NOT ALL

8. NAINA'S BIRTHDAY

It was her birthday. 

Every year, Arjun used to cut her favourite cake on this day alone. But today when she herself was here, he ignored her like every other day. 

Everyone was wishing her except him and she had no idea that who told them about her birthday. Because on her official documents , it was some other date. 

"Happy birthday dear." Two voices from behind struck her ears at once and her questions turned into a shock, she was not at all ready to take. Shree told that it was them, who informed them about her birthday. They were here with a huge red velvet cake. The cake that's thought to be the prestigious one for no reason. Arjun was watching everything from the door of the conference room..

So, her choices have changed too.. he thought in his head and just kept on looking on what was happening. She smiled and joined the celebration. She ate the cake and agreed to leave for home with them. Samir gave her off that day. 

She was happy..... no she was pretending to be happy.. Arjun had not forgotten to read her eyes. He was sure that something wrong was happening. May be the cake or something else. Naina left with her parents... 

Arjun couldn't control himself. His heart was forcing his mind to think that she was not okay, and she needed him. He left without telling anything to anyone, but since he was always like that, no one questioned him. 

He was just to open the gate of his car, when he heard her voice shouting at peak of her voice. "Now what new drama is this? What the hell are you both doing here? Are you not done destroying my life, that you came here too? What is your problem? Her voice cracked... she was angry but was more in pain.... She was shouting from outside, but crying from inside.... Crying so loud that Arjun could feel her tears wetting his heart. 

"Why are you saying all these beta? We are your mom-dad. We came to see you on your birthday. We came to say sorry. We came because we love you." Her mom said. 

Oh please. I'm done with all this drama 10 years ago. There is no need to do repeat telecast. Don't pretend to care for me...and what did you say ?.. My birthday...I guess that comes every year. And you guys came to wish me after 10 years. Common, don't think I'm that same fool who loved you with all she had even after your hatred towards her. I've not seen you in 10 years. You successfully snatched my every reason to be happy... because of you, today I can't even talk to the person I love the most. And you are telling me that I have parents.... I pray to god everyday, that if he have to give such parents to a child then, better leave the child orphan...... And she broke down. Her father tried to console her but she didn't even let him touch her. She shouted at them to leave her alone as they always do. And not to ever show their faces to her. Because she's dead for them..
