[ HE'S ONLY MINE TO HURT ]
[I] ABEER
It was time to go.
The jagrata was over, the guests had gone home and it was time for me to bid farewell to the house I've grown used to.
Honestly, I don't want to leave just yet. I mean, sure, the whole issue with Pinky might be over, but I still feel like staying.
Not because of Meher, obviously. Of course not. It's not as if I want to spend time with her. The real reason is.. is.. yeah! -- I want to stay to watch over Tunnu. The guy has been straight-up suspicious recently.
Immediately, a wave of protectiveness washed over me. I want to take care of this family.
"So.. I'm leaving, Bua," I smiled sadly at her, as I got up to stand next to Meher.
Did I mention how hot Meher looked in that attire? I wasn't sure where to look last night; the Pooja or my ex wife.
"Mhm," Bua nodded, still emotionless. I decided to at least take some sort of reply out of her, so I continued.
"Try not to miss me too much when I'm gone," I said cheekily, "of course I'm always at your service if you want me back here."
"I wouldn't miss you even if you left this world, Abeer," Bua suddenly snapped at me out of nowhere.
[II] MEHER
"I wouldn't miss you even if you left this world, Abeer," Bua snapped at Abeer, and I watched as his face drained of colour.
That was when I lost it.
"That's enough!" I shot back, without giving it a second thought.
How dare she?
She might be like a second mother to me, but that does not give her the right to insult him like that. If at all anyone, it's only me who has the right to hurt him.
Not her. Not anyone. I won't let anyone hurt him.
But obviously, I won't tell him that.
I'm Meher Purohit. I vowed not to show any emotion whatsoever, since that day.
God, how I wish that day didn't exist.
"Meher? You're standing up for him against me?" Bua looked extremely confused and hurt right now.
"I- I.. meant, that.. that's enough with the goodbyes. He has to go now, or.. he'll be late," I stuttered, failing to make up an excuse.
Obviously, I can't let them know why I actually said that. That would show them I care.
I can't let them know.
I can't let him know.
Not now, not ever.
[ END ]
Mehh, not my best work. But god, how I wanted Meher to stand up for Abeer in the precap -_- stupid bua.
