If This Is Love 2

Part 52

KHUSHI'S POV

It had been two months since Arnav and I broke up, it was really difficult at first, of course it had to be, it was my first ever relationship, it was the first time that I had trusted someone enough to give him my heart, so it wasn't easy.

My routine was to go to college, study, go to the echo point until late at night then I'd head home, and sleep. The only place that gave me peace was the echo point so I made sure to go there daily, I'd sit alone and try to make myself calm.

Some days were easier, some days were difficult and on some days I ended up breaking down and crying, something I never thought I'd do. I was always so strong, I rarely cried but this had really broken me.

All I could think of was how Arnav played games with me, and how he even had the courage to do so with me despite me telling him about my childhood, I couldn't get it, how could he have been so heartless?

But as days kept passing by, I was starting to be at peace with everything, because clearly I had tried fighting with him, I had tried being rude, and almost beat him up too but none of it brought me peace than just sitting here alone and trying to calm myself down.

Arnav on the other side was become irritating by the day, I mean here I was trying to get my life back on track and he just wouldn't stop trying.

I mean this guy dint want to give up at all, just because I was rude and everything he did stop bothering me, he wouldn't talk to me in the university, he would always change ways when he saw and actually dint bother me much, but then every day at night, he would come and sit outside my house and wouldn't leave until morning, hoping that I would talk to him.

For two months, he came here continuously, each and every day, there were a few days where he got sick too but I tried not to let it affect me I was just as stubborn as him, I dint want to talk to him, but he wouldn't just stop coming over, even after my dad threatened him to call the cops, even after the girls talked to him, and even after Zion tried to tell him that I would never forgive him, he still kept on coming.

I guess he must have watched a lot of the cliché romantic movies so he believed life was like those movies, he thought if he kept doing things like this I was going to melt and forgive him or something which wasn't going to happen for sure.

I was seated in my room as usual reading as exams were close and that's when it suddenly started raining, I quickly jumped off my bed and looked outside through the window, and there he was, seated outside getting drenched in the rain.

Why was it so hard to for him to get such a simple thing? I was never going to be with him, no matter what. He should have known how to keep me when I was with him, now it was too late to have me back.

I wasn't heartless, I did get that he was regretting what he did, and he had apologized so many times but I just couldn't be with him again, I wish he could understand that and stop hurting the both of us continuously by doing things like this.

In the past two months I did realize that whatever he felt for me was true, that like he said, he did end up falling in love with me, but that wasn't enough for me to get back to him, I guess nothing was ever going to be enough anymore.

I sighed as I headed to get an umbrella then walked out of the house, he smiled as soon as he saw me walking out, maybe he was thinking that I finally decided to forgive him, well that wasn't the case here.

"Go home Arnav." I said as I stopped close to him covering him with the umbrella so he wouldn't get rained on.

"You still love me Khushi, you still care for me, so why can't we get past this?" he asked. I looked at him blankly, why was it difficult to understand that love was in its own place and my freaking self-respect was in its own place?
