Third person's POV
"Anu, you okay?" Came her sweet voice, like always.
"No, I'm not, why did you leave me, why Mishka why?" his voice held an unknown fear. Fear of losing someone precisely 'her' - Mishka.
"Anu, I'm sorry, I never wanted to leave you but--"
Suddenly a man came and held her waist, "Situations were like that Anurag, you got her love, but you both weren't made for a 'Forever', she was mine from always, forget her. Find someone else, or wait - maybe you aren't made for anyone," the man laughed evilly and took Mishka with him, far away from Anurag's eyes . . .
He woke up suddenly with sweat beads forming on his forehead. Heavily breathing – panting slightly - was his usual state at mostly every night. He poured some water in a glass, and gulped it in one go and glanced at the clock. There was still time, like always. 3 am.
Sighing, he stood up from his king-sized bed. The son of a millionaire - Anurag Basu. People usually anticipated, "His life is all about fun and love!" But alas, their assumptions were all wrong!
He didn't have a 'perfect' life, like the usual 'billionaires' in books have. He had luxuries - but misusing them wasn't his work. He stood in his balcony and gazed at the moon - as it shined. That serene peace; as he gazed at the moon made him feel content.
"I'm still stuck at you, Mish. I wished I should have never given all my love to you; how easy my life would have been then. No worries, easy move on, a better life. This life feels like a cage, I'm caged with those memories of you and me! I want to get rid of them."
"The worst feeling in the world is... when you can’t love anyone else... because your heart still belongs to the one who broke it."
He found it too relatable - if not this much love for Mishka, he could have found any other girl till now. But he can't, just can't! As simple as that, complicated when looked into.
