Part 7
On the other hand,armaan stood there rooted.
"comon amy,u know know these behenji types..they do over react on every small thing,just forget them baby"
sheena said carressing his cheek.
"sheena...plz....i dont want to talk about it" he replied putting her hand away.
he got up paying the bill and suddenly something struck,he turned around and opened the bill book again and read the quote,
"treasure those who love u sincerely before someone else steals them away"
he felt something reading the note....he could not understand what exactly he was feeling....was it guilt or something else....he only knew that something is disturbing him but could not figure out what exactly it was....
muskaan rushed out and found riddhima seated in car.she immediately got in.
She got scared as she found her motionless,numb with blank face.she knows her well that she is not the kind of girl who can express her emotions openly,she keeps it all inside.
"Ridz,pls say something"
she said jerking her up but did not get any response.
"pls ridz,dont let that moron affect u this way...call him names,pour ur pain out or it will kill u...yun chup mat baith,kuch to bol"
riddhima could just manage to say,"i am ok,dont worry"
muskaan knew she is dying inside...who would not...when ur world comes tumbling down..she is blank outside,but she knew on the inside her world is spinning upside down..muskaan regretted for having convinced her to express her feelings to that jerk.
"tera ghar aa gaya muski"
"nahi,main tujhe is haal mein akela nahi chhod sakti"
"agar tu wakai meri dost hai to pls leave me alone for sometime.dont worry,i will be fine"
muskaan tried hard but to no avail,she knew how stubborn riddhima was,so she finally gave up and got down.
"take care ridz and pls just let that donkey out of ur system,u r better off him,he is not worth ur tears"
riddhima did not reply and asked the driver to get on.it was getting dark.she headed to her fav spot at the lake.just over the cliff into the dark waters below.the moon shown down causing the water to sparkle.she placed her left foot over the edge leaning back shifting her weight to her right foot.looking up into the sky she cried letting salty tears flow down her angelic face.his words kept ringing in her ears piercing her heart,"she can never be my kinda girl"
she felt soo degraded not just because he did not feel the same way for her but because of the way he put her down in front of that girl.he hurt her self esteem,her self respect.the boy she considered her world tearted her this way,was she really that bad????
she looked up,
"kyun bhagwanji...kya main itni buri hun?y he had to insult me like this?was this that i deserved in return for my deep love for him??"
and she collapsed...went thru all the emotions one could feel when terriblly hurt.she felt hurt,angry and shattered.
after having spent nearly an hour over there,she got up making up her mind that she will be strong,promising herself that she wont let even this name "armaan" affect her in anyway as he just does not exist for her from now on.
