Hearts and Hate

Chapter 2:Break-up

❀ NEHA ❀

I open the door to see Virat with bloodshot eyes,he looks like he's been crying since days.I sigh and lean onto the wall beside the door tiredly.

"Won't you ask me to come in?" He asks with his broken voice. I stay silent looking into his eyes, I see glimpse of my bestfriend seeing his regret. But I can't do this to myself.

"You might be thinking why did I even come now, right?"He whispers hoarsely with tears falling freely from his eyes.

"Neha...I was scared,frightened, I thought I was going to go crazy with the pressure on me, try to understand,I wasn't ready" He pleads to which I scoff mentally.

"I know"I choke out.

"Will you give us a chance then?"I shake my head as no.He holds my hand to which I flinch and move away.His mouth parts in suprise.

"Are you believing the news channels?We were just talking to each other!"He says stuttering as I glare at him.

"Talking in a hotel...in the same room, when you were supposed to be putting a ring on my finger!"I say to which he gulps trying to form words,I shake my head in disbelief.

"I promise...We were talking about the coalition of both of our parties..."He reasons pathetically. He understood that I won't believe him and groans in rage punching the wall beside me.

"I don't need you, just like you don't need me" I whisper to which he stops his punching the wall, his eyes widen in shock.

"Please...Neha...give me a second chance! I won't repeat it,I promise"He asks as a tear which was not artificial slipped this time.

"I gave you more than that Virat...I gave you 730 chances to be exact, you cheated on me everyday,I gave you a chance everyday for past two years,I was waiting for you to come to me without any women's perfume on you,without any lipstick stains...I was waiting for my bestfriend who I lost, more than a lover.But he never came"I choke out as he tries to come closer to me.I step backward to which he stops.

"Don't leave me"He asks desperately

"I can't stay"I reply as tears flow from my eyes.

"I can't live without you beside me Neha"

"I won't be alive if I stay with you,I broke slowly everytime you cheated on me...please let me live" I state as a painful silence grows between us.

"Should I always do what you wish for? your pain...your sorrows...your problems! you always come to give me lectures,Did you ever try to find out why I went to other women...leaving you!?"He says with rage filled in his voice.

"It was your mistake! You never let me touch you,I went to other women who were willing, I had my needs...but I couldn't touch you after that with guilt Neha! I couldn't look at you in your eyes.I couldn't touch you with disgust on myself...I didn't want to corrupt someone as pure as you" He admitted he cheated on me.I feel disguted when he tried to put the blame on me.

I shake my head in disbelief trying to go inside...he pulls me back by my wrist."I'M NOT DONE YET!"He yells making me flinch.I'm not going to take this shit anymore.I glare at him in equal rage.

"Fine choose...last and final time...time to make decision...I'll forget and ignore the fact like you cheated on me like all the times,and be back to you,but..."I say to which his eyes soften with hope and gives me a small smile.

"Me or your Political career...If you want one, you leave the other,I don't want to be your mistress in dark,I have self respect" His hold loosens on my hand as his smile drops.Tears slide down his eyes.His eyes fill with rage all over.
