I see her laughing at something he said, how I wish that was me who was making her smile. And then it comes back to me, that fateful day that changed everything and why would that person never be me.
I never loved you Nandu, I can't believe you bought the whole act of a caring boy-friend seriously. I mean look at your status just a bloody commoner and you actually thought you were dating Manik Malhotra. Well sorry to burst your huge bubble sweetheart but that's just how I like to play, it was just time pass.
With a smirk on my face I am looking right at her when she lifts her head and looks at me. Those eyes which reflect her every emotion are filled with disappointment. I was expecting hatred, I was expecting her to abuse me, hit me but all I get is disappointment. She shook her head and wiped her tears and started walking away.
I should be happy right I mean I finally achieved what I had set out to do, I broke her down completely. Her posture says it all, those hunched shoulders and her heavy strides should make me happy but with every step she takes I feel my heart break one piece at a time. How I wish I can go back in time and undo what I had done. That day I lost the only person who looked beyond the surface of Manik Malhotra, I lost her, who could have healed me, I lost who I fell in love with, I lost my Nandini.
I can feel his eyes on me, his eyes that once made my heart race but now the only emotion I find in them is regret. How I want to run to him and hug him and take away his pain and sorrow. For everything he has done to me why can't I stop loving him? Why is he the one who haunts me day and night, every time I close my eyes I see him, I feel him around me.
Their eyes meet across the courtyard, hers full of hope and his filled with guilt and time stops for them. Ignoring everything around them they start walking towards one another and the only thought that crosses their mind is what if.. ????
