Rajveer"What happened Nick?" I overheard Roshni talking on the phone with him. She just couldn't stay away from him. I didn't want to keep eavesdropping on their conversation, so I was about to leave the room when I heard her say,"I'm so sorry for your loss, Nick. He was such a good man."I wondered who passed away, as I went closer to Roshni."Of course, I will be there right away." she said.Immediately she ended the call, tears welled up in her eyes and she began to cry.It seemed she had been holding back her emotions for too long and the news she had just received was the final straw. She felt overwhelmed. "What happened?" I asked."Nick lost his dad today." she said in a broken voice"Sorry for his loss." I said. As much as I hated him, I would never wish for him to lose a parent. It's very sad"I was so close to his dad when I was a kid." she cried "- he was really a good and kindhearted man.""Hush now." I soothed, wiping the tears away from her cheeks "- I will go with you
RoshniIt had been exactly one week since Nick had lost his dad and he stopped attending lectures. I felt so bad for him. His dad's death was really weighing him down. I hoped he gets over it soon. Lest I forget, Sam's birthday was fast approaching in just five days and she was very excited. I still hadn't gotten a gift for her yet and that bothered me. "It's so hard to decide on a gift to give someone. I think it'd be better if I just ask her instead.." I said to myself and sauntered towards her room. She was busy chatting on the phone with someone when I entered. She immediately ended the call and turned to me. "This year's birthday is definitely going to be the best for me in my entire life." Sam smirked. She was really very happy for her eighteenth birthday. "Of course Sam, you're turning eighteen. May all your wishes come true." I wished, smiling. "It will, I'm very sure of it. Something nice is going to happen, I'm positive." she said and I got confused."Something like wha
It was 5:00 PM and Nick was still no where to be seen and the party had begun. Sam called him again repeatedly, but he kept on rejecting her calls. She was busy pacing up and down waiting for him impatiently. She suddenly sighted him at the entrance of their house. She heaved a sign of relief and approached him."You got me so worried. I thought you weren't coming anymore." She voiced out. "Well, I'm here." he said, rolling his eyes. It seemed he just wanted to get the plan over and done with and then, he wouldn't have to bear Sam's presence anymore - she huffed at the thought. "Let's get started, it's getting late already." Sam remarked. "Alright. When you are done with what you are suppose to do, give me a call." he instructed. Sam nodded and went to Roshni who was busy dancing with her friends. "You look very tired Roshni. Should I get to something to drink?" She asked, hoping she would say yes."I'm okay Sam, I just had water few minutes ago." Roshni said. "I made orange juic
Roshni"You are not leaving!" I heard Raj's voice, after a long time of silence from him. I stopped and smiled weakly. At least, Raj believed me. Mum looked at him in disbelief. "What do you mean she is not leaving?" She asked in rage."What!" Sam yelled."Raj." dad called.Raj stood there, his face filled with determination, as everyone's eyes bore into him. The room was filled with a tense silence, broken only by the sound of my heavy breathing. Anger radiated from the others, their frustration palpable."She is not leaving." he repeated, making my heart skip with joy. Raj's trust was all I needed. "- as her husband, I have the right to make the final decision. She's staying." he said with finality. "I have my reasons.""Are you out of your mind?" Dad asked, but Raj didn't say a word. he remained silent. "Don't allow her to continue walking over you." mum yelled. "I didn't raise you this way." "Roshni is very sly, Raj, she is cheating on you with Nick and-" I cut Sam off before
Roshni"I love you," I confessed, looking everywhere, but his direction. Immediately the sentence left my mouth, he stopped in his track and stood there for some seconds, before slowly walking back to me. I could feel his eyes boring into mine. "What did you say?" He asked, as if daring me to repeat what I said. Of course he was. "I love you, Raj." I repeated, now staring into his eyes. "- I can never harbor even the thought of cheating on you. Please believe me Raj, I really do love you." I finished and hugged him. He stilled, but didn't push me away. I was glad for some seconds, before he unwrapped my hands from around his waist."Let's leave," he said and walked out of the room with his luggage. I sat down on the bed with unshed tears glistening in my eyes. He didn't believe me. He thought I was lying.I felt another lump forming in my throat as I tried to hold back the flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. How could he not trust me? How could he think I would lie about
RoshniI woke up with a sight headache, which I ignored, because I knew it would go away sooner or later. I went into the bathroom and showered. I was determined to know why Nick did what he did, so I decided to meet up with him and make him confess we didn't do anything, then Raj would be able to finally know the truth and hopefully he would learn to trust me again. I emerged from the bathroom and Raj was still sleeping. He looked very uncomfortable lying on the couch, I could tell, because he had a frown plastered on his face. I woke him up by gently tapping on his shoulder and he opened his eyes, but slightly. "Good morning," I smiled. He grumbled an incoherent word and went back to sleep. Funny. I chuckled at his behavior and tapped him on the shoulder once more, in an attempt to wake him up. "Go away," he mumbled, his eyes still closed. He is such a big baby "You look extremely uncomfortable here on this couch, you should lie down on the bed," I suggested, but he ignored me.
Roshni"You're not leaving! I won't allow you to leave me," Nick said, venomously. "Please save me Raj.""Just allow me leave please," I begged, desperately. "Why? So you go back to Rajveer?" He asked, angrily and again, a wave of pain surged through my stomach, making me cry out in pain. Nick noticed I was in pain and came closer to me."Are you alright?" He asked, his voice laced with worry."No I'm not," I admitted. He held me by the shoulder, but I quickly shrugged his hand off."Should I call my doctor?" He asked."I don't need a doctor, I need you to open the damn door and allow me to leave. Do you think by ruining my image in front of my in laws and husband will make me love you? You are mistaken. I will never love you, Nick. I regret ever knowing you. After what you did to me, I realized you aren't my friend, but an enemy. I hate you," I yelled, pouring out all of my frustrations out. He didn't say a word, but stood there staring at me in daze. I took the opportunity and sn
RoshniAs the morning sunlight gently filtered through the curtains, I slowly opened my eyes, only to be greeted by a dull ache pulsating through my temples. A slight frown creased my forehead as I pondered the recurring presence of these unwelcome headaches in my life.With a determined resolve, I made up my mind to seek answers, to unravel the enigma behind these persistent discomforts for it was getting unbearable.Although the thought of visiting the doctor irritated me, I knew I had to. I had been neglecting my health for the longest time. For the meantime, I ignored the slight pain I was feeling, as thoughts of the previous night, invaded my mind. He actually cares about me. I became more determined to prove to him, I didn't do anything wrong. I looked at Raj, he was still sleeping and looked very uncomfortable on the couch. I wanted to wake him up, Like I did the other time and tell him to go to the bed, but I knew very well, he would refuse bluntly, so I stopped myself and my
