FEELING OF BETRAYAL

CHAPTER-18 Making Things Right!

Henry’s POV:

“Hey Fio. I want to talk to you.” I texted her number waiting for her reply when my phone blinked with a notification.

“Yes.what is it?” she had replied.

‘Ugh, this girl is ‘ so cold to me. Why does this happen to me?’ I thought.

“Can I call you?” I replied back.

“Okay.” She replied back.

Ring…. Ring….

“Hello?”

“Yes Henry. What is it?” She asked emotionless.

“Baby, I’m sorry I didn’t know you had a past relationship and I know we didn’t discuss about our past life also. I shouldn’t have yelled at you or gotten angry at you. I thought you betrayed me so I got angry. I’m sorry. Don’t be without talking to me it hurts baby.” I replied back.

“Okay Henry. Are you done? Can I cut the call now?” She asked me again.

“Please don’t be angry on me baby. I’m sorry. I didn’t know seriously. Trust me.” I begged.

“Okay Henry. I am not angry but I need time to calm down. You cannot treat me like a slave Henry. I  know how much effort I’m putting on myself for this relationship and you just blindly blame me without any meaning. How dare you Henry? And you also told Watson that we did it with love. What crap was that? Why couldn’t you just accept that you forced it on me which is why I am still with you? You wouldn’t talk the truth, but want me to always trust you. Am I a rock ? I have feelings too. It can be played with.” She yelled in the call.

‘God I ruined it again. How do I tell her I was insecure?’ I thought.

“Fio listen to me please. I did the lying on purpose because I was insecure. I didn’t want to lose you agin. It is taking a toll on me. Trust me.” I cried.

“Insecured and you?” she laughed sarcastically. “If I wanted to I could have told Watson that I was forced or even better I could have always gone to him to open up after our incident he would have trusted me because I have nothing to hide. So learn to talk the truth Henry. I should say I’m insecured because you have a history of cheating, using and what not! Don’t I still try trusting you it is the same way. So now don’t call me back. Give me some time without your torture. Bye!” she cut the call.

‘Darn it! I knew I had messed up! What do I do?’ I thought.

Fiona’s POV:

“Insecured and you?” I laughed sarcastically. “If I wanted to I could have told Watson that I was forced or even better I could have always gone to him to open up after our incident he would have trusted me because I have nothing to hide. So learn to talk the truth Henry. I should say I’m insecured because you have a history of cheating, using and what not! Don’t I still try trusting you it is the same way. So now don’t call me back. Give me some time without your torture. Bye!” I cut the call.

‘One hell of a speech that was Fio . Good one!’ I patted myself.

‘It takes time to forgive and forget. But what he did wasn’t as easy as I thought so. It is difficult even to accept the mistake. What did I do? I know its difficult to stay angry like this but why am I forced to even love god darn it.’ I thought.

After 6 months:

“Hey Henry are you coming to pick me up today? I have to go for coaching class!” I messaged him.

“Yes sweetheart coming to pick you up. Love you.” He replied back.

“J I’m waiting.” I replied.

‘It has been 8 months since our relationship. I mean forced relationship. I did learn to love him but not able to forget what he did to me. Thanks to him that I changed schools too! Wow that was one hell of an idea! ‘

“Hey Fio.” Angela greeted me.

‘So Angela Roy is my friend c*m classmate. When I changed schools she joined too! She was in my class since 1st grade but wasn’t too close with her. Now that we changed schools we befriended each other.’

“Hey Angie! You coming along for coaching class?” I asked her

“Uhm. How are you going?” She questioned back.

“Henry would be dropping me. I’m sure you can come along.” I replied.

“Oh Hen. Sure I would love to come along.” She replied excitedly.

‘What’s with her excitement? I mean she knows he is my boyfriend but why is she excited to meet him? Never mind Henry wouldn’t think of hurting me again.’ I convinced myself.

Angie and I were dropped in our coaching class by Henry and kissed me before he left. But Angie was fuming. What was going to happen?

‘Angie and Fio had graduated to their junior college and they were best friends but there was something else behind Angie’s mind that made her become best friends with Fio! What would that be?’

“Hey Fio!” Angie chirped.

“Hey Angie, where were you? You were supposed to be here 10 minutes back.” I grunted.

“I’m sorry Fio. I had to submit my assignment.” She apologized to me.

“That’s okay. What do you want to tell me that you couldn’t tell me on the call?” Fio asked

“Uhm, F-Fio, please don’t get me wrong but I thought it would be better if I confess it to you. So please don’t mistake me.” Angie replied keeping her eyes focused on the glass of water which is placed on the table.

“No Angie I won’t. You can tell me.” I replied back.

“Fio, I like Henry. I know you’re dating him but the thing which drew me to him was his character and I couldn’t do anything about it and I respect your relationship with him. But still I just wanted to tell you this without hiding anything.” Angie replied making a sad face which was not close to be sad. Something was flashing in her eyes but before the emotion could be read she masked it.

“That’s all Angie? I thought it was something big. You scared me. And I appreciate you wanted to tell me this but I already knew you liked him with the way you guys were talking and also knew that both of you would maintain distance keeping me in mind so I trust both of you.” I replied.

“thank you for trusting me Fio.”Angie got up and hugged me.

“You, cherry, Narcissa, Sam all of you are invited to my birthday party tomorrow. Please do come.” Angie told me.

“Sure I would be there, thanks for the invite lady.” I winked at her before bidding our ways to class.
