The Girl I loved - Part 2
Monday, May 30, 2016Priya
One moment. That's what it took for my world to turn upside down, for my heart to be broken into a million pieces and for my soul to be shattered.
I thought he loved me.
He stayed with me all through my life and never let go of me even once. He was my best friend, my partner and my soul mate.
I've been in love with him since two years and was waiting for him to confess his feelings to me so that I can let go off everything else and flung myself into his arms as he wraps his arms around me.
I've been in love with him since two years and was waiting for him to confess his feelings to me so that I can let go off everything else and flung myself into his arms as he wraps his arms around me.
I've never felt more safer than the times I spent with him. He cared for me more than my own family and never lets a single drop of tear escape my eyes.
He would walk to my house everyday before school and we'd go to school together. When school's over for the day, he'd walk me to my house even though his house was completely in the opposite direction. He'd wait until I get safe into my house and would only leave when I wave to him once I'm safe inside.
If ever I was in sorrow, he'd lend his shoulder for me to cry on. If I smiled his eyes filled with happiness. If I cried I'd see the sorrow in his eyes. If I took a hit, he gets hurt. If someone hurts me, he'd make sure they pay for it.
If anyone asks me who's the person I trust the most in my life, without thinking twice, his name would erupt from my lips and that's because I used to trust him more than myself.
But that was until now. I trusted him when he promised me that he'd never leave me, that he'd hold my hand when I confess to Arjun, the guy to whom my parents fixed my match with, that I never loved him.
I decided that once I shrug Arjun off from my life, I'd propose myself to Rahul because I was done waiting for him to confess his feelings to me.
But when I turned to find him backing away when I needed him the most, I just wasn't able to believe it. I wondered if it was a dream and if I closed my eyes for a moment, he'd be by my side again.
But that never happened. I've never wanted anyone to hold me and hug me except Rahul.
But when Arjun caught hold of my waist and pulled me to him, I flinched for a moment literally begging Rahul to take me away from this madness.
All he did was look back at me but didn't make a single move to get me. That's when I lost my trust in him. That's when I started to hate him.
I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. But I love him.
Tears threatened to flow when Arjun lifted me into the air twirling me around and I closed my eyes tightly to hold them back. I wanted to slap him tightly across his cheek and yell at him to let me go and that I belonged to Rahul. But I restrained to do so against my raging pulse that seemed to set Arjun on fire and burn him into nothing.
He set me down on my foot and wrapping his arms around my neck, he tugged on my head pulling my face closer to him. I tried restraining but that wasn't enough to hold back the inevitable. His lips touched mine and my heart tore into tens of thousands of pieces.
This time I wasn't able to hold back the tears. I stood stunned when he deepened the kiss and a tear escaped my eyes followed by another. I could feel all my restrains broken and the only thing that held me were Arjun's hands that were wrapped around my neck lest my legs would have given out with me dropping to my knees.
Never did I imagine that I'd be kissing another guy in front of the one I loved. I wondered how he would be feeling. My heart broke out for him.
If it had been me to watch Rahul kiss another girl in front of me, I'd probably die with grief. I couldn't even imagine what I'd be feeling.
I couldn't continue kissing him. So I pulled back from it and took a step back. Arjun looked at me as he seemed bewildered by my sudden reaction but the moment passed before his lips curled into a smile and he gestured for me to place my palm in his.
God! I hate him. I knew the meaning behind those fake laughs and those intimate gestures. All he wanted was my family fortune and a beautiful girl to marry him so that he could show off to his friends and to the world that he landed himself to marry a pretty girl.
If not for Rahul, I didn't know what would I have done when I spied on him talking to his friends. I was stunned when the horror of his words sunk in.
Rahul and I were about to walk in through my main door when I noticed Arjun with his friends on the sofa.
One of his friends said, “Arjun, you’re so damn lucky man. You’re in love with a gorgeous girl.”
At that Arjun let out a laugh as he shook his head at his friend.
“What the heck are you speaking man? Me? Arjun in love with a girl? Bullshit. I'm only marrying her because my parents are interested in their money and I'm interested in her pretty looks. Where the heck love came through between all this?”
My hands fisted at my side as I gritted my teeth nearly literally squeezing my gums off as I tried to take off in their direction to knock his shit off but Rahul caught me in time holding me against him until I calmed down and until my senses got back to me.
That was when I talked to Rahul about me breaking off everything that got to do with Arjun in my life. I wanted to say once and for all that I don’t need someone who loved me for my pretty looks or the money in our back account but for being myself.
But Rahul, when he stepped away from me, he not only broke my trust but also my heart and my soul.
I wanted to beg and plead out to him to get back to my side but the words wouldn't come out of my mouth as I stood there when Rahul backed off.
It was then that I decided that I'd never have anything to do with him again. All his memories would be my past and I'd marry Arjun whatever the consequences maybe. Even if it'd kill me to that that, that's what I'm gonna do.
When Arjun wrapped his arm around my waist and tugged me along to follow him into the house, I followed him without any restraint not even looking back once because one sight of Rahul would weaken my resolves on what I had decided and I didn't want that to happen. With each step I took with Arjun, the further I walked away from the love of my life.
I wished goodbye to Rahul once and for all in my heart and initiated myself to try to forget him for the betterment of my future and my life, although I wasn't sure about that without him in my life………………….to be continued.
