"Not just together, we are engaged," he laughed and turned to me. "She's mine." And I knew suddenly...

"How long have you been together?" Aryan's smile slipped for a moment. "One year," he said and Jay raised his eyebrows in surprise. "I never saw you taking her to any of your gatherings," he said again. "She wanted to keep it low and I didn't want to pressure her," Aryan said firmly. "But why do I feel like you are interrogating me, Jay? Don't tell me that you have unresolved feelings towards my girl?" I spilt the drink over as it came as a shock and the table went quiet again.

I realised another thing that night; I am still not over it...It's still paining me too much...
