CHAPTER 6

PART B

(Preetika's Apartment)

It was truly amazing how every time she felt emotional pain,it didn't hurt as a cut or bruise would.

It was just a heavy feeling- a dull ache.Her head spinned and it was as if her tongue felt to big for her mouth.She felt the need to wipe away the non -existent tears that she wanted to form but they wouldn't.

Preetika wanted to hate him'.Hate harshad Arora ,but she knew that somewhere deep down inside her heart,she would never be able to do that,not after hse had realised that she needed him,because she was in love' with him..she has always been in love with hi..all along those 11 months...

But she wondered whether he had meant his words,or were they just empty promises.Did he whisper them in her ears, only to leave her for someone else..Would she be another notch on his bedpost? Or maybe she already was..

She sat beside him,a considerable gap between them and with their back resting against the door.

The silence was an albatross around their neck, choking their thoughts, wrapping its deadly tentacles around them.

"Harshad"I"I ca-can't do th-this anymore..."Preetika held her breath, waiting for his response.

She wanted to move away before he could break her heart more than it was already broken, before she would lose herself in such a way,that finding back her footsteps would seem impossible.

"I didn't get you Pree..you-you-ha-have been avoiding me from the time I arrived -I you've been ignoring my calls, pretending I don't even exist for you..I stood outside your apartment for hours"and""Preetika got up from the floor.She was not ready for his questions.

"Don't ask me why Harshad-I-don't have the answers"to your q-questions and I think-we""

"We , What ,huh?"he recoiled back.

"We-should stop seeing , each other"and"and you should leave""

"I'm going nowhere unless I get my goddamn answers, Ms.Preetika Rao!"

"We're better off with"out each other Harshad, why can't you accept this?"

...
"Oh...So is it because of someone else..have you found someone b-better Pree..?But,you promised me that you'll wait for me..Preetika, please don't keep quiet..I need my answers..!!"

...

...

...

"What do you want to know Harshad?What is it that you wanna hear form me?huh? Why we shouldn't be together or why I-will never be -enough for y..you""her voice was trembling , by the time she finished.

Preetika didn't want him to see her tears..he had lost all rights .She turned to walk away,when he caught hold of her arm and pulling her back, he anchored her to his chest, twisting her arm and locking it to her back.

"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't act like you don't know that girl' Mr.Arora!"her bitter sarcastic laugh echoed in the silence.

"Which girl?"

"Oh"so you don't remember. Perhaps, that's because there must've been many right? The girl to whom you said..'Shhh..She can hear you.J ust wait for me, I'll be back..' The girl with whom you were too busy to call me back, right? I'm so sorry Mr.Arora,I must've interrupted you guys...What is her name,you never told me..?You know,I havn't been able to sleep since then.I've stayed up all night,wondering how she loks.Whether you love her or not?Whether you look at her, the way you look at me..whether she can kiss you the way I do...Whether.."His grip slackened and she wrestled out of his grasp.

"You lied to me ,Harsh"I believed in you and you""Preetika whispered back hoarsely.

...

...

...

"After leaving the team,I went to stay at my cousin's place"Prashant lives with his wife Neha"she is a childhood friend of mine"you heard Neha's voice on the phone..All of us,we're chatting..catching up with each other"when you called..and Neha was pulling my leg, and spilling all the beans,when -you called.."...

Bile rose up her throat and his words reverberated in her ears.Preetika looked up at him with disbelief,his eyes were bloddshot and brimming with tears.She searched his impassive face for something,but her search was futile.

"I'm sorry th-that you th-think so lowly of me,but I'm speaking the truth Ms.Rao.Oh"you may thin that am"my mistake"wait""
"Harsh"I.."

"No,Preetika,you-should,you should check out whether am speaking the truth or not,right.here-" he thrusted his phone in her hand.

"no harshad"I-"
"There's Neha and Prashant's number,you can call them up and verify,if you want"I didn't cheat on you Preetika.I didn't.."

Harshad stood in silence ,measuring whether her ignorance or her words ,which one had hurt him more.Or whetehr it was the fact that she could imagine him with someone else,which hurt him.

At first there was silence. A misty haze settled upon the horizons of his mind. He could feel the painful lump in the back of his throat as tears began to forum and his breathing hallowed.

"You-You're right"I-I should leave..."he said after sometime.

Regret washed over her like long slow waves on a shallow beach.Each wave was icy cold and sent shivers down her spine.

There was no way back.There was no way in which she could take back her words.She had doubted the person, whom she could trust her life with, someone who was the reason behind the best year of her life.

He was about to walk away.

Misunderstandings were cleared,but Harshad knew better than to stay, because if he didn't wish to deal with his distraught emotions in her presence.

...

"I wish I never cared about you in the first place,then it wouldn't have been so hard for me"to imagine you with someone else""

"Pree.."

"I was feeling jealous, isn't that what you wanted to hear.Yes,Harsh, I was feeling jealous-and confused-and hurt"I can't see you with someone else. Thinking of you kissing another girl, makes me feel sick to my stomach-I wish it didn't. I wish you didn't matter to me,I wish I would've never met you""Preetika hiccupped,her sobs breaking the silence ,barring the occasional bursting of firecrackers bursting and crackling through the soft zephyrs of the wintry night.

"But I don't regret meeting you"I don't regret falling for you"" A small smile tugged the corner of his mouth.

""I'm in love with -love with you-"There she had said it.

"I love you---and I don't know when I fell in love with you-but I know that I love you"and you're mine. MINE! and I can't live without you"you get it Harshad Arora, I need you"I-".

She had made her big declaration of love, the grand speech which she ahd been planning for a fortnight, hadn't really gone the way she would've wanted it to and now the silence lay on her skin like a poison. It seeped into her blood and paralysed her brain.

Preetika could hears the fireworks light up the night sky as the clock struck twelve.She lokoed up at him nervously. Her pupils dilated and there was tremor in her hands, as Harshad trapped her in his arms in one swift motion. "Happy new year, Pree""Preetika looked up at him hesitantly. The swirls on emotion she saw there made her gasp. However before she could ponder about it further, he yanked her close(if that was even possible) and covered her mouth with his, in a sweet tantalizing kiss. As ther lips crushed together, Preetika felt like she was walking on thin air. It was magic.
