Five Weeks by Shruti Omar (ebook reader that looks like a book .TXT) 📗

Silence stretched between them like a tightened rope and she clutched the fabric of her slacks in her fists, feeling her knees getting weak. She was getting turned down again. Twice she associated her heart with the cruel creation of God and was left broken.

"So...so it was sort of revenge?" She found herself interrogating with trembling voice, "I stupidly did something in the beginning and you held it deep in you that you decided to leave me broken hearted? I associated myself with Mukund, so you decided to associate yourself with that woman? I hurt you, so you did the same thing but in sweetest and more torturous way? Was everything a lie, Yuvraaj? We were a lie? The time we spent...."

"Yes, it was." He replied, looking away unable to see tears in her eyes. "And let's just not discuss it Anahita, I know what is in your heart. Whatever we have is going to end. We are just three days away from fetching your so called ‘five weeks’."

"You don't know anything, Yuvraaj!" She screamed, staring at him with teary eyes, "You are so blind that you can't see things. You don't have any idea what is in my heart. Because if you did, you would've known that I love you."

"You don't know that when you were plotting to hurt me, I fell in love with you." She hiccupped, wiping at her tears. “You don’t know that I am madly in love with you that even after this shit, I can’t come to hate you.”

Yuvraaj was gawking at her with his jaw slacked and his eyes flew wide. His brain ceased working as an urge to soothe her rushed in him when she jarred down on the floor and buried her face in her palms, sobbing.
