1222 Words
Arjun's P. O. V
I held her arms as she knelt down. She looked so helpless. It is killing me to see her like this. I cant believe this is happening again. I broke her heart again. Again someone else is facing the consequences of my action. My actions which are often based on rage and bad decision. Why should she suffer because I have no control on my actions. May be I was right the last time she deserves better. Not a person like me. But I can't see her with someone else. It kills me. Am I willing to change? Yes I am but the problem is she would never trust me again.
Never.
I watched her as someone held her and pulled her up on her feet.
"I warned you earlier Riya. This boy is no good for you. I told you he broke your heart before he will easily do it again. See. It didnt even take him a whole day." Said Abhish her best buddy. I doubt that.
She said nothing. Just waved a hand signalling him to stop. And then she left.
I would have punched right in his face when he said those words but right now my concern is Riya. Its so disturbing to see her like this that too because of me. Again.
What he said was right. I did this to her I broke her heart again. I am not a perfect person. I made a mistake. Jealousy made me do that. Anger made me do that. Reason for that anger was this guy. From the day he has come he is only roaming around her and I hate that.
"Thinking how she got to know your little secret?" He said winking at me.
That little basterd.
Without any questions I knew what I had to do and trust me when I say this I was dying to do this for months.
I punched him right in his face with little strength because boy this is a start. And he needs to stay conscious for what is coming for at least ten more minutes.
He deserve this for everything he is been doing for so long. I know what I did was wrong. But trying to think he can take advantage of this situation is so over the top.
"Ouch..how dare you?"
"Ouch? What are you? A girl?"
"Listen man you better take your hands off me. It won't be a good idea. I am telling you." He said moving back in anticipation of another punch.
" Or what? Huh? Or what? What are you gonna do? You coward." I screamed in anger pushing his chest to provoke him.
Hell I want a fight.
"Listen Arju..."
I punched him hard again. He trying his best to avoid a fall but landed on the floor tasting dirt.
"Dont you dare to take my name with that dirty mouth of yours" I spit beside him in disgust and bend down to pull him up. I pulled him by his collar and dragged him by the wall.
We can almost hear a tear of his shirt.
I gave him another blow on his face with all my might. He landed on the floor again. I pulled him again this time tearing half his collar. I gave a hard punch below his chin. Sliding down the wall I pulled him up again and held his neck by my left hand and planted multiple punches on his stomach. He was almost unconscious.
I pushed him to the wall and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
" I. Am. Warning. You."
I am so furious right now. I might kill him.
"Stop..stop Arjun stop man. Are you gonna kill him?" I turned to Madhav who was trying to pull me away for so long. I don't know whats happening I am in trance. I might kill this person. I am so frustrated and angry at this situation that I might do something unpredicted. All I know is he is responsible for all this. He clicked the pictures. Or got it clicked by someone and showed it to Riya. He is coming between us. He is the reason of this situation.
"What are you warning me for?
You are the one who betrayed her. You cheated on her remember. You kissed another girl.
So am I the culprit ?
Or you are?"
As much as I hate to say this deep down I know. I know that He is right.
It was me who kissed another girl..
It doesn't matter if he created all this. It is true that I am at fault. And nothing can justify this.
I can't believe I did this. This is so wrong. Whatever the reason might be. This. Is. WRONG. Oh god I feel ashamed. I feel so god damn ashamed of myself. I don't deserve her. I don't. I am a terrible terrible person. How can she ever forgive me. I can't loose her again. I made such a horrible mistake she will never forgive me. I lost her again. Oh god I lost her again. And this time forever.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I hardly anticipated a push which made me land on the floor. Abhish.
He pulled me up and punched me on my face. Again on my stomach griping his left hand on my collar. He landed punches after punches.
I did not protest this time. Because I want to punish myself. I want to hurt myself as hard as she was hurt from inside. I deserve this pain. I deserve this.
I let him let out all the little energy he has got. Honestly, I feel nothing. I feel nothing of his punches. No pain is as hard as pain which is in my heart for making her cry. For breaking her heart. I feel numb of all outer experiences. For what I am feeling inside cannot be explained.
"This is for thinking that you can have Riya again." A blow again in my stomach. His word brought me back from my deep self bashing thoughts. But when he said those words I completely lost it.
"She is mine to take advantage from. Do you get it?"
Oh he shouldn't have said that. She is not a possession. You don't even dare to talk about her like that. I love her no matter what. You can't talk ill about not now not ever. If he thinks he is really very smart to take advantage of this situation he is so wrong.
I slapped him hard with all my might.
He shouldn't have said this.
He traced his lips which now had a blooded tear. He eyed the blood in his hands. By the time he can even raise his eyes up I slapped him hard again. And then again. I continued slapping him until Madhav stopped me and pushed Abhish back by his chest.
"If you don't leave right now your cheek will fall off and you won't be able to show your face to anyone." Madhav warned Abhish.
Covered in blood and bruises he looked shocked of what just happened. Not surprisingly he left without a word.
Now I don't know what to do to mend this but I won't loose her again...
