Dev and Trisha

breaking the heart

she tiptoed with her heels as Dev lowered his lips to feel her soft rosy lips. Their nose touched and their lipses were inches apart when Dev realised what he was going to do, to kiss her and ruin her first kiss. To leave her after kissing her without a reason. He pulled back reasoning with himself
" Trisha I think we need to leave"
His deep words burst Trisha's romantic bubble making her open her eyes and face the reality, the reality was that Dev was away from and never nearing closer like she wanted him to be, his face back to the usual Dev who she couldn't read or understand.
" Yes we should" she replied sternly trying to hide the disappointment in her voice.
The trip back to home was dead silent, Trisha avoided Dev completely by staring out of the window looking at the dark night and the parisian buildings, somehow Trisha felt colder than what it was outside, Dev convinced himself that he has done the right thing for somebody who is going to split soon. This kiss would've have opened a new world of problems but you were already going to kiss her and she was too, she actually took the step . She likes you just as much as you like her,he told himself. He knew that Trisha has accepted every flaw of him and loves him not for his looks but for what he was but still he thought this wasn't right and it will never work out and most of all he convinced himself that he isn't worthy of a good girl like her.

The more Trisha thought of the kiss ,the more ashamed she felt . "My love life is cursed , my first kiss is a rejection and my first night was a nightmare" she thought sarcastically as she sobbed . Trisha washed her face for the fifth time and checked herself on the mirror , she didn't want him to know that she cried or the stupid kiss mattered. She will tell him it was a mistake and move on like she always did . Dev was looking out the balcony as he decided to act like they never tried to kiss , to pretend and go back to normal! But was it that easy he thought and convinced himself that it should be.

The morning arrived and Dev woke up to an empty bed, he got ready wondering where she must've gone and he found a note on the table

I have work so I'm leaving early

Dev didn't want to think anything else but believe her words, things are going back to normal he thought and had his breakfast

Trisha told Maximus that she really needed a hard coffee to survive the day . Maximus fetched her the coffee and asked
" So?" And he got the same question back from her
" So?"
"I'm sure something happened" he raised his brow suspecting
" I'm sure it's the husband" he eyeballed her
" No it's just a headache, ouh yeah it can be called as that too" she got up with her caffeine as she waved him bye and left

Coming back from class Trisha opened the cafe's door to find Maximus busy with a few customers , she sat in her usual place and Maximus joined her in a few minutes.

" Can you translate this" he asked her
"c'est dommage de nier l'amour dans son cœur"

Reading the sentence again and again she translated half the sentence ,as she was struggling he told her
" Trisha it's a shame to deny the love in one's heart"
" What?" She was confused with his sudden statement
" No , that's what this means" he told her
Trisha became silent and Maximus could see the sadness in her eyes.
" Is something wrong" he asked with concern and the tears started rolling down her eyes but she tried her best to contain it
" Trisha just let it out, tell me" he pleaded. Trisha told him about the date and his rejection
" So atleast now you agree that you love him"
"What am I telling you and what are you asking me" she replied with annoyance
" Do you or do you not" he asked her again
" Whaaat!?" She hissed
"Trisha do you love Dev or not"
Trisha kept silent
" Trisha are you ashamed to admit your love for someone" he asked sharply
" Yes " she replied angrily
" Because a narcissistic selfish man doesn't deserve my love but my stupid heart will never understand that" she cried
" Yes I f*cking love him and I effing hate that fact" she cried gritting her teeth with anger, angry at herself for loving and at him for being so selfish and callous

" Calm down , calm down" he touched her hand to show his support.
" but did you ever tell him that you love him" he asked again
" No" she she whispered
" Maybe he doesn't know that you love him so much"
" Maybe he thinks that you don't like him and it was a moment's temptation so he stopped it, he might have done it for your good"

" If he had love me , he would've told me"

" When will this stereotype of men confessing first change, he might be a man but he might be scared to admit such a big feeling.Men act all tough but are scared of these small gooey feelings, trust me!"

" I cannot confess and get humiliated one more time Max!"

" Don't you ever think that you're lesser than him and that's why he doesn't like you, you're an Indian goddess and he's blind to not notice that.Its truly his loss!"

" I don't know"

" Just go and tell him what you feel, show him how much you love him. Its better than carrying this weight in your heart for too long"

Trisha thought of the times when she felt he was so close to saying something but failing. Everytime when their eyes locked and they touched , there was something maybe he felt it too

" Don't ever be scared to love!" His words resonated within her and made her stand up immediately

" I'm going to do it right away" she stood up smiling. All Max could do was be happy for her as he cheered her , only if she wasn't so much in love he thought to himself pushing back the sadness that was rising up in himself

Trisha became excited as she only thought of the bright side and nothing else, Paris has only made her feel the love in the air or maybe the love Dev wasn't easily expressing she thought

Dev was learning french with Jennifer , he was biting the pen's tip as he was concentrating on the book. Whenever Dev wore a plain white shirt Jennifer only found him more sexier. Him biting the tip only bothered her more so she pulled his hands abruptly which made him wonder and he look at her confused. Suddenly locking eyes with the green eyed hottie wasn't easy for Jennifer to handle, she lost the last strand of resistance she had and she slowly moved forward focusing on his lips

Trisha was wondering how to kick out the annoying neighbour and confess her love to him as she entered the lift, she kind of felt like a teenager but she didn't care because this is her first real love and she thought she deserves every ounce of happiness. The door was half ajar and she opened it to find the worst sight of her life , Dev and that stupid tutor were in a compromising position . Her grip on the door tightened as she tried to control her tears but in vain , she was so sad and upset , upset for believing in the stupid fantasies that Max told

Dev was surprised by Jennifer's sudden move that it took him a minute to process what she was trying to do " Jennifer" he called out her name , he was going to warn her  to not come any closer as he moved his hand to push her off he heard the door bang
