Zoya*
"I love you, Miss. Zoya Siddiqui.
Aditya said, bringing goosebumps to my body. From toe to head, I stiffened. I had craved to hear those words and that too from the same person but the circumstances had made us stand a point where those words did not have a meaning. Even though he uttered those words through a phone call, it felt serene. That was a dream came true moment for me but our life has ways to blemish what we want and my life had tarnished my happily ever after a long time ago.
"You are late, too late, I mumbled ambiguously, looking at my attire. It took lots of strength to speak. Being aware of the consequences of a wrong action, I threw his words at him. So many lives were connected to the marriage and I could not let them down. "You wanted this to happen,
He replied in a fleeting moment, without wasting much time on thinking, which hurt me more than I ever would confess. "And I still want this to happen, Zoya. He was broken; I could sense it in his voice.
"Then why did you call me now? He was getting on my nerves turning me angry.
What does he think about me? , that I am a doll that he can play with.
"Just want to let you know that, I have always loved you, still do and always will. He chose to ignore what I had to say, without saying anything the line went off.

I was busy in my thoughts that I failed to notice I had become the center of attraction. Snapping me from my thoughts, I looked at Sara when she nudged me. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than a wall around me, protecting me from those gazes.
"Zoya,
I turned to see Yash smiling widely. At least he was happy. I could not really smile at him but I could pretend that one, and I did, how easy it would be if we could pretend everything?
The function started in a moment and ended in another moment. I was a doll who played according to the key as if I was programmed for their needs. We exchanged rings and I officially became Yash's' fiance.
It could not be worse when I felt his presence; he was there. Staring at me, he stood near the door looking handsome as always. His eyes were red; I knew he had been crying.
"Hey, Adi I gasped when Yash called him. A smile came to Adi's face when he slowly walked towards us. I stood there without moving, I was least expecting this after the confession he did today.
"Hey, congratulations to both of you, He smiled widely, fake I knew it; I might have been looking like a ghost, pale as the whitewash.
"I thought you won't come. They both shared a brotherly hug.
"How can I miss this one? My brother is getting engaged to my friend after years of pinning on her. His gaze fell on me and I could not look at him when those eyes brimmed with love. I wanted to crush him in my arms, I wanted to hide him from everyone, and I wanted to run away with him.
"Hi Zoya, you are looking beautiful. He complimented plainly as possible, that smile never left his lips. However, I could not fake, a small tear escaped from my eye, I did not manage to wipe it before he could notice.
"I think I should go, Adi said patting Yash's shoulder, "You guys enjoy. He added before walking away.

"Why Zoya, why? shouting at the top of his voice, he smashed the last piece of glass in his room, it broke into thousands of pieces. He broke every tiny memory of her, he had not even flinched when the glass pieces pricked into his flesh, blood oozed out from his foot and wrist, the heartbreak was worse than this physical pain.
I stood beside him watching him break down. I knew I had to stop him but he needed that, He needed to let it all out so I let him cry as much as he wanted.
He was completely devastated seeing her holding Yash's hand, it broke his heart to see her with him, but that was something he wanted, he wanted that. In addition, he did let it happen; he let her go. Tired from the events he fell on his knees, hiding his face in between his knees he cried like a girl.
"What the hell Adi? I barged beside him and shook him holding his shoulders. "What the hell are you doing?
"I lost her, I lost her. He mumbled mostly to himself.
"You left her I corrected him.
"Huh?' He snapped his head at me, as I said something wrong.
"You left her, you let her go. Making him comfortable on the bed, I walked towards his washroom to take the first aid box.
"I wanted her with me, but Yash, he loves her. I wanted to slap him when he said that. If I were in his place, I would have taken her away from these morons.
After cleaning his wounds, we sat together, "And you? You do not love her.
"I do, but she said I'm late.
"You were; you ignored her feeling when she confessed. You asked her to leave when she came to you. You wanted her to go. I was not putting all the blames,
"I was wrong! he stated.
"No Adi, the situation was wrong.
