You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter- 73 These Days

Ruhaan rubbed his forehead as he finally finished packing his stuff. He was happy to finally go back to Mumbai. The past two days had been stressful enough and on top of that, he missed his lovely girlfriend dearly. It almost felt like an eternity since he had last seen her.

Unlike him, Adi stood over his luggage with a lot on his mind. He felt..... angry at himself for being such a dick to Mitali. She was right. He was being paranoid for no reason. Why would Mitali fall for that Rishabh guy? She knew he loved her. Right? Had he ever told her that he did? He breathed a frustrated sigh and asked out loud to no one in particular,

Adi: She wouldn't leave me , would she?

Ruhaan cocked his head at his best friend, who looked too deep in thought.

Ruhaan: What?

Adi sat down on the edge of the bed and said,

Adi: Mitali.....Ru.....she wouldn't leave me for him , right?

Ruhaan furrowed his brows and asked,

Ruhaan:Adi....what are you talking about? Who would Mitali leave you you for?

Adi snapped out of his trance and looked at his best friend and said,

Adi: Oh my God! I fucked up....I so fucked up Ru!

Ruhaan: Adi.... what?

Adi stood up in a flash and started nervously pacing around the room. Ruhaan looked at him questioningly.

Adi: Oh My God, Ru! I fucked up so bad! I mean.... I practically shoved her towards him! Oh God!

Ruhaan: Hey!

Adi stopped pacing and looked up at Ruhaan.

Ruhaan: What are you talking about, Adi? What did you do?

Adi then proceeded to explain the whole ordeal to him. Once he was done, Ruhaan rubbed his temples and said,

Ruhaan: You really are stupid, Adi.

Adi:(sarcastically) Geez thanks for making me feel better!

Ruhaan: Don't throw that tone on me , Adi and listen to what I am about to say next.

Adi looked at Ruhaan to check for any signs of humour but seeing his straight face, he understood that he was serious. And thus , he sat down quietly like an obedient child.

Ruhaan: Do you realise what you've done? Adi, accusing Mitali of cheating on you....how could you? That girl tried so hard not to say a word about your closeness with Jai's cousin.

Adi: But I told you, Ru. That was just to make her jealous.

Ruhaan: I understand your intention Adi. But you should know when to stop. That's how insecurities develop in a relationship. These movies show that making your partner jealous is a way to make her fall more in love with you. But they don't show that this exact same thing could also backfire.

Adi gulped realising the reality of it all.

Ruhaan: God , Adi! You guys should have talked about this when she was here. But no, you both held on to your ego and didn't think twice of how this little misunderstanding could practically destroy your relationship. And you know what, I don't even blame her. You started this , Adi. Even if as a game. You should have made her understand what actually was going on rather than just walking away when she said she wanted to take a break.

Adi looked down at his feet with guilt evident on his face. He knew that every word that Ruhaan was saying was true and he couldn't in any way defend himself from these accusations.
