As long as you love me

Yeah She is my Girlfriend again

Late that night!

Ria Mansingh requested to follow you a notification popped up!

I opened it, She just came to Instagram it seemed!

When I opened her profile, I was really shocked.

She had posted the photos I clicked during the campus drive and I was there in 2 of those pictures.

A sudden wave of confusion occupied my brain!

Should I call her? I asked myself. What if Abishek picks up? I felt guilty as well as confused at the same moment, for which I clearly had no idea why

Later Siddharth called me!

Hey! How is it going in Mumbai? Siddharth asked!

Yeah fine! Geetha's here too we're good!

So I think we are gonna meet, he said!

What?

Yeah Rahul! Didn't they say?

I think you'll get a call soon! He said and hung up!

Then, Geetha got a call and simultaneously I got one!

It's a conference call!

Hey guys!! I heard Joel & Malini's voice together!

We're getting married this week they said.

We're surprised!

Don't miss the marriage. Malini said in a strict voice the rest of the conversation was filled with laughter.

We took a week off from work and booked 2 flight tickets to Chennai!

I prepared every scenario of meeting Ria in my brain.

Maybe she'd come as a couple with Abishek! I said to myself

As Joel is a Christian. The marriage was arranged in a church!

We reached on time!

I still can't believe what happened. The eyes that turned to look at me when I walked through that door!

"Ria!" I said a little louder.

She ran to me and hugged me tightly!

None of us are ready to let go!

I hugged her like there was no tomorrow! the Earth spun slowly for the two of us. I am pretty sure the crowd in the church would probably be staring at us!

Geetha touched my shoulder that is when I realized, What I've done! There was an awkward silence!

Ria looked like she had lost a kilo or maybe two! I couldn't find anything that could distract me from Ria

The marriage ended beautifully! We gathered at Joel's home for the reception!

I am happy you and Geetha are together! She said! She had cried, her eyes looked red!

"You too". I replied

She nodded her head with no meaning in it!

After Hours of Reunion conversation with boys, I realized that Geetha was not around.

I went to Geetha! She was in a room! Her eyes were filled with tears!

"Hey! What happened!"

Did you ask about her marriage? She said!

"No! why?"

Because it's a lie that Kavin cooked up, trying to help you reconcile! He told Ria that we two got married! she said in a broken voice.

Such an asshole! I woke up rolling my sleeves!

No! Sit Rahul!

Everyone planned it! you got great friends! They could have included me in the part of this plan she said as her eyes turned red

"What?" I looked confused.

I'm really glad that they told me this at least now!, Before I got deep into you.. she said with tears that began to fall off her cheeks.

"I'm sorry! I love you Geetha!" I said grabbing her hand

You can't love 2 people at the same time, Rahul! You can't love me. When your mind is filled with Ria! She said and her voice began to crack!

Tears filled my eyes. I was confused my head spun. Ria never moved on. she never gave up on me! It was me who betrayed her trust again! and here I am breaking Geetha's heart too!

My heart pounded, my brain felt heavy and my eyes welled up. I wanted to tell her I didn't deserve her, Ria, or anyone else. I stood there for a moment not knowing what to say!

I screwed your life. Let my tears end this, I miss you! We will be good friends as we always were, don't worry. She said wiping her tears and smiling!

Thank you! I said and Ran out of the room!

"Where's Ria!" I asked Harini!

"She's out at the gates!"

Kavin came by!

What the hell have you done! I said grabbing his collar.

Shoaib, Tarun & everyone gathered around!

I had to break Geetha's heart because of your stupid prank to fix my love! I shouted!

I'm okay Rahul! said Geetha who came out of the room. Don't waste your time! Go get her! she added!

I ran out! She was at the gates! nearing her car.

"Hey!

"Ria!"

"Miss Ria Mansingh!"

I called her name and ran to her!

Go away! she said!

'I didn't come this far to go without you!" I shouted!

I thought you were with Geetha. I didn't want to ruin that for you! she said as I walked closer

"You didn't Ria! It's a big story!"

Don't tell me you dumped her to get back to me! Ria said when I tried to grab her hands

No! she helped me find where my heart really belongs! I said and kneeled right before here and grabbed her hands.( Proposals don't need a Ring when the hearts are already bound together.)

She laughed with tears!

I love you Ria! Shall we start over from the beginning?

I love you too! She said and hugged me back!

We kissed for a brief moment.

Everyone came out of the house and started clapping and whistling. We all smiled for one last group photo of the day! With a lot of tears hidden from it. I still had no idea whom I should thank.
