ArHi FF: Seducing Mrs Raizada (Upd Pg57, 19 Feb) - Page 10

Arnav sits on the sofa in his living room, looking out the window. Outside, the sun has not set, yet it looks dark. Just like my own life, Arnav thinks. The thunder rumbles in the distance, then gets louder and more frequent, and is accompanied by lightning.

Then, the rain starts. Aside from the sound of the raindrops upon the roof, and against the windows when the winds start howling faster and harder, all is quiet. All is lonely. Only, less lonely than me, Arnav contemplates for the hundredth time that day.

Why did I have to do what I did? Why did I have to spoil my own life, and hers as well? Why did I not find out the full truth first before jumping to conclusions? Why did I not believe her when she claimed she was innocent? Why, why, why??

Arnav thinks back to his past actions, and regrets everything that he has done. He regrets having spoilt his own life. His married life. He regrets having hurt her. His wife, the love of his life, whom he lost forever due to his own stupid actions.

Arnav once again picks up the glass and drinks from it, the cool alcohol burning his throat as it goes down. He cries thinking about his past. He cries thinking about the time he met the woman he loves the most in this world. The woman whom he married, then started loving, then lost.

Please come back. Please forgive me. Please... I love you! Arnav drains the last drop of the alcohol from his glass, then looks at the glass, empty like his life, and slams it against the floor. The glass shatters and breaks into many tiny pieces. Just like how I destroyed my own life. Just like how I broke my wife's heart.

Arnav contemplates his past actions for the millionth time. Why? Why? Why? Why did I hurt you? Why did you leave? Why did I let you go? Where are you? Please come back, Khushi...
