The Heartbreak

chapter 11- When was the last time you went shopping?

Stella
Today she had got to start her life again. It's like she had been given birth again.

But she didn't know what she should do. She couldn't depend on Aiden forever. She had got her degree from the Managegement university but it had been years and she didn't know if she could even do it anymore.

Aiden had not stayed the night. He had some urgent work which was not related to work but had to be done. So Stella was all alone in the house.

She took a shower put on her bathrobe and went to the kitchen to get some fruit. It had been her habit, she would only pick her clothes when she would be eating fruits. She was cutting the watermelon when the door clicked and Aiden stepped in.

That was when she realized that she was now living with a person who was her brother's best friend and NOT her boyfriend.

When he saw her in the bathrobe she shut his eyes and turned around.

"Aaahhh!" She screamed and ran to her room.

"Why are you wearing a bathrobe in the kitchen?" He asked.

"I have a habit of eating fruits after getting a shower so I just came to get some watermelon." She said.

"You can wear your clothes and eat it, can't you." He replied.

"It's a habit Aiden, it can't just wanish in the air like that.

Aiden
Aiden was fuming with anger when Stella said that. He couldn't even imagine Stella wearing nothing but a bathrobe in front of that boyfriend, meant like ex-boyfriend, of hers.

"Some habits should be changed with time Stella. Did you even stay like this with Asheb or whatever his name was." Aiden said.

"His name is Aseb and no, he never saw me like this because he would usually be at work before I woke up and on weekends he would sleep until noon."

Aiden walked towards the half cut watermelon and started cutting it. He put them nicely on the plate and handed Stella the plate when she came out after getting dressed.

"Thank you" she said and sat on the sofa.

She was wearing an oversized black hoodie and blue worn out jeans. By her clothes anyone could say that she had not been buying new clothes.

"Can I ask you a question Hazel?" Aiden said.

"Asking is up to you,I Can't stop that but I don't gaurentee if I'll answer." She replied picking up the fork to eat a piece of the watermelon.

"Fair enough. So, no offence but when was the last time you went shopping?" He asked.

Stella almost chocked. "What?" she asked.

The reaction was expected. No one would think of such a question and this was the probably the last question Stella was expecting.

"Shopping. When was the last time you went shopping?" He asked again.

Stella was staring at him like she had seen some ghost. "You're kidding right. What kind of question is that." She said.

"No seriously Hazel, when was the last time you went shopping. From your clothes they don't seem to be bought anytime....soon." He said.
