chapter 12: turning tables
Manvi stood there dumbstruck... Her feet had become glued to the ground. She looked on at malika who had a smile on her face that could light up any room. She forced a smile on her sullen face and held out a shaky hand to malika who Failed to see the pain in her voice as she congratulated her...
'im so happy for you' manvi looked at malika with tears in her eyes.
'are you okay manvi?... You look pale...oh my god why are you crying?!' malika asked totally confused at the change in manvis demeanour.
'im fine malika, consider them tears of joy' manvi replied barely smiling
Manvi stood there frozen as malika hugged her and ran out the room to convey the news to the rest of the vadheras. She looked over at virat who had been stood there watching the two girls with no expression on his face.
Slowly, he walked over to manvi looking her deep in her eyes... As he leaned over her and shut the door. He looked at her with tears in his eyes unable to bear the pain he saw in hers.
'shouldnt you be out there celebrating with malika?' manvi asked coldly unable to look him in his eyes.
'hurts doesnt it?' he replied looking at her, burning through her skin with the fire in his eyes. Answering her question with his own.
She looked at him taken aback...'what does?'
'being alone' virat said in his husky tones
'i have dilip, im not alone... You dont even love her, you cannot be happy' she challenged
'what does it matter to you... My happiness?' he enquired, looking her deep in her teary eyes lifting his eyebrow as he searched for an answer in her eyes.
'It doesnt' she barely whispered
'Why are you still here then?'he asked chilling her whole body with his icy tones
Manvi looked down unsure what to say
'Theres a difference between who we love, who we settle for and who we are meant for... I guess i had to learn the hard way.' virat continued
'Theres also a difference between who we think we love and those we need to have and get out of our system' manvi replied her eyes firmly on virat.
Virat pursed his lips finding it difficult to contain his anger at being so misjudged.
'why do you hate me so much?' virat asked manvi lifting her chin up slightly so she had to look at his eyes.
'i hate how much i cant hate you' she muttered guiltily... Trying hard to hide her face.
'why do you try?...i will do nothing to hurt you, not now not ever'
Manvi stared into his promising eyes, falling deeper into his hazel oceans with every word he said.
'its too late now", he told her... Sadness echoing the walls around them.
Manvi slowly looked at the tears in his eyes mirroring the tears in her own... She cupped his face and turned it towards her own... She looked at him, both their eyes mirroring what they had to say. She pulled his face in towards hers placing her lips on his.
Her kiss telling him everything she needed him to know... Her eyes closed, she felt him pull away unwantingly,rejected, manvi opened her eyes seeing virat shaking his head with his own eyes still closed.
'you belong with someone else manvi... I cant do this to anybody... Not even dilip'
Manvis face burned in both guilt and embarassment... She looked at him again, her body weak under his influence
'sorry' she stuttered as she left the room in a rush...
'what have i done?' she asked accusingly at her reflection, shocked realising the game was no longer in her control.
