Chapter 14: truth hurts
Manvi looked carefully at the girl who held her everything... Tall and amazing, manvi saw all that she would never have in the arms of malika who now possessed her whole world since he said those words...'marry me', if they had been meant for her, manvi would now be happier than anybody in the world... Now, manvi was left with nothing but to stare at virats empty eyes which reflected the same sadness she held in hers.
He had just uttered words that should change his life, but the forests of his eyes were left with a look manvi had seen before. Determination.
What did he want to prove? She had now fallen prey to him. She needed him... More than she ever needed anything in her life. And if he did not lie, he needed her too...as much as she needed him.she felt her stomach churning as the feeling in her heart spilt out into her body, she was disgusted at herself for giving her heart to someone who did not want it. had she been a game? A meaningless trophy he would laugh about with the woman he actually loved?a meaningless fling he wanted out of his system before he settled?...malika... Why was it so hard to hate her?!
Virat looked back at manvi, as he held malika... He squinted his own eyes desperately trying to read hers, a picture of sorrow and despair. He blocked out the voices in the background as swamini and viren did the vadhera formalities... 'standards' 'regulations' 'status'... He knew the drill and malika matched every single one of their expectations, plus she had a heart of gold. That is of course, if the past stayed in the past, and so did josh.
He saw the hope in manvis eyes as swamini made her empty threat 'she will be gone'...,The vadheras knew virat was not one to follow rules or protocol, and time hadnt changed this at all.
Virat hugged malika tight... And let her out of the room to tell her friends the news... Virat opened his room door signalling his family to leave, not answering any of their trivial worries. He knew malika well enough to know swamini would love her... As they left the room virat sighed, a temporary release from the frustrations he held. Running his fingers through his hair, virat thought about what had happened and how things had gone so far, that the game was in nobodys hands anymore...
'DAMMIT!!' virat kicked the small bin letting the trash scatter on his persian rug... He stared momentarily before hearing a knock at his door.
Manvi opened the door slowly unsure of what was to come... She walked in uncertain of what she would say to the man who had overnight become her all... His every word was now crucial to her, his voice her heartbeat.
She could feel his name echoing in her every heartbeat, a heartbeat that was becoming louder with every step she took. A whisper becoming louder and louder till she heard nothing else.
"virat...virat...virat.."
Manvi turned his head to face hers, leaving his green oceans looking at her.
"why?" she asked... The only thing that her heart truly needed to know.
"you hate me?"...
"yes"...
"thats why"
"you think i hate you?"
"yes"
"thats why i hate you" she said as she watched him form a small smile that was visibly forced and watched him again as the smile disappeared as quickly as it appeared. She watched as her tears reflected in his own.
"why?... Why do you resent me so much"
She stared into his eyes, unsure if she was ready to let him know the truth, a truth that she knew she could no longer deny...no matter how badly she wanted to.
She questioned him a million times with only one look wondering whether she could trust him not to break her heart.
He lifted his eyebrow, waiting for the answer that would clear his confusion, clear the mess that had been hurting him for so long.
"i hate that i cant hate you at all" she resented the words she said. His eyes bore into hers, urging her to go on.
"i hate that i love you, i hate that i probably dont hate you, i just hate the things you did... I hate that youre the only one ive ever loved to the point where i cant control myself...i hate that i love you so much, it makes me want to hate myself because i cant do anything about it... Your love makes me weak."
He put his finger on her mouth shushing her slowly...unable to control his heart he leaned in putting his lips on hers, letting he love pour out of his soul and into that kiss, he kissed her in the knowledge it was the last... Before pulling away "no more manvi, its too late now... You belong with dilip,me with malika... Its how things are, and how they should stay... Malika needs me now"
Manvi fumed angry as her knees weakened by the passion in his kiss, her lips stung with an ache for him..."i just wanted to fulfill my fantasy anyway" she lied..."i wanted to see what it was like to kiss a celebrity, you... Or anybody else"..."It wasnt a big deal" she stuttered in denial.
"im marrying dilip anyway" she said looking away so he couldnt see the pain in her eyes..."im going to tell jeevika tomorrow so DONT ruin it for me, like you've ruined everything else"
