And Then You Happened

' Trying To Heal Him'

Surbhi's POV

I was sitting there numb frozen on my place.

Who says heart break in love are painful? Heart breaks in friendship are more.. Much much more painful and hurting.

Mahir told everything about his past.

How that girl could do anything like this !! Didn't she have a heart! How can he hurt a person who stood every time with her.  I swear if that girl would've been in front of me I would've killed her. 
 She didn't really think that what she has made out of a person. She has made a person full of emotions into a body... Just a body without soul. I had tears in my eyes. I was crying.. But Mahir. His eyes held much pain but he was not letting them escape his eyes.

"So now you know why I hate people. Why I don't believe in kindness.  Why I don't trust people. Why I've made myself like this.  Why I am rude and arrogant. Why I have developed a sort of hatred towards people and specially these girls. I said you naa you don't know these girls and believe me I've met only these type of girls except you" he said.

"I'm sorry.. I didn't understand you before " I whispered

" No Surbhi. Why are you saying sorry. It was my fate. You know I was a boy full of emotions. I loved every single thing. I used to believe in everything. That friendship band was given by my grandmother when she was about to die. She told me to give it to the most important person in my life. I.. I thought it to be Riddhima .  But I was so hell wrong. That band had all my memories and emotions with my grandmother and she burnt it in front of my eyes. I loved my guitar since I was 8 year old . It had each memory of mine in it. It was my soul. The guitar whose strings were connected to my heart. She tore that apart... And she didn't only tore the guitar apart she ripped my heart apart by smashing every inch of that guitar.
 You know whenever I was happy I used to play it.. Whenever I was sad I used to play it... But when my heart got away from me.. I was left with nothing. Since that day I left my soul away from me. I never played it again. She knew Surbhi what my guitar meant to me. And she was even ready to blame me , put me behind bars, ruining my dad's reputation! " he angirly spoke with a heavy voice.

I didn't know what to say. How much he suffered all these years and he never said anything to anyone.

"You know Surbhi we all always talk about heart break in love.  No one talk about heart break in friendship.  It hurts much more Surbhi. Everyday I burn from inside. Everyday I think that was I not worth a good friend. Was I only a toy , like she said to be used. I stayed silent.. I never told anyone this because I knew no one will take it seriously. May be for people it's not big deal..but this thing ate a part of my soul. I believed that I can't make friends.. I was broken. " He said and a tear escaped his eyes. 

He thought I didn't see it so he turned around and wiped that single tear.

" Mahir. " I whispered tapping on his shoulder

" Yeah. It's over" he replied turning towards me

"You can Cry Mahir. Express yourself " I said because I knew he had so much pain filled inside him for years now!

" Men don't cry . Everyone say. Because if they cry they'll be judged right " he replied with a fake smile

"Yeah. Every one say men don't cry. But I know you also have emotions...you also want someone to hug you and say that everything will be fine.You don't say anything to anyone and just bury it deep inside your heart,  but Mahir don't do this .I know men cry...and yes you can. Never feel lonely . You can cry. I'm there for you. You can scream it all in front of me...You can open your heart out,  I'll be there, I'll rub your back and say that don't worry..everything will be fine soon...And One last and most important thing...
