I waited. Waited for him to come up and say that he is kidding. To wipe out the pitiful smirk off the face of revenge.

I looked up to him to react. Come ahead and say that it was all but a prank. But, he didn't move from his place at all. He had adorned a stony expression on his face as if deeply in contemplation. Slowly I saw an apprehensive smirk forming on his lips, throwing pitiful looks towards me. That was all it took to shatter me.

I felt clipped down to ground like a chained eagle.

I felt my surroundings going blur and then, it was only darkness, my companion.

Three more days were left for the end of the Musicana leading to a week long holidays and I could definitely do with staying away from Mumbai for some time.

The whole of the week passed by in a moment of scurry with me pondering over what went wrong in my blissful life. Few moments ago I shared a special bond with Maanik Malhotra and now? A joke.

A week full of peace and solitude and now I am up with conclusion that my Monster never betrayed me. He thinks that he the only smart person walking on the earth but seems like he forgot that Nandini Moorthy was born smart. If he thinks that he'll fool me with those smirks of his and I won't be able to see his agonizing eyes then he is even a bigger fool.

What all we shared was anything but a revenge. His feelings for me were genuine and I am sure that right now, he would be gazing at stars and asking Aiyappa' to look after me and make sure that I don't do something. He is anything but a manipulator so the question is why he did what he did what he did?

He did that because he was scared.

Scared of disappointing his brother like friend.

Scared of taking away the only thing he ever asked from him.

Scared of not being able to fulfill his promise of not hurting me.

Scared, that his toxic love can destroy me.

I know in the heart of my heart that I still love him but the point here is, does he deserve all the love I bestow upon him?

Answering this is beyond me but don't they say 'Once bitten, twice shy.' Taking safety measures was never the wrong step just like ignoring him. Although, that would be difficult but it is worth the try and who knows that maybe... maybe he can come in terms with what he wants in life.

During all this, there was one person who thwarted me the most.

Dhruv.

I know that it's my fault that I said such things to him that it misguided him since he doesn't knows me that well but what about Maanik? Isn't he Maanik's best friend, his buddy? If Maanik could figure out his crush for me then couldn't Dhruv figure out Maanik's feeling for me? Or was so absorbed in his feelings that he refused to notice everything around?

I know, he is not wrong, still I am disappointed. Why only Maanik has to play the role of being a good friend, why can't Dhruv do the same?

As for Cabir, well after Harshad blackmailing him, he was happy that I paid off for my, mark you, "undid" sins.

Even Alya and Mukti reacted the way anyone would expect them to.

But is it written in any rulebook that Nandini Moorthy has to behave the way everyone expects of her? She, too, is allowed to be a nasty, sassy, selfish girl, ain't she?

@Flamey - Really looking forward to this. Give me more (and I hope your a fast updater :P).
