Arjun's P. O. V
She slapped me.
I held my left check and stared at her searching for answers.
"Whats wrong? I thought you're gonna kiss me." I gave an innocent pout. Then I tried to pull her close for a hug but she pushed me away. What the hell is wrong?
She looks angry. But everything was alright few hours ago what could possibly get wrong? This looks serious.
"Shut up! Just shut up" she waved a hand at me. Looking furious. I haven't seen her this angry.
" Baby are you okay? You look serious and angry?"
"Of course I look serious because I WAS serious. Serious about US. Serious about you. But you NEVER were." She shouted at her top voice which still trembled. Tears pooling in her eyes.
"What? What are you talking about?"
By now everyone at the gate was watching us but to hell I care. All I care about is her and what got wrong between us.
"Stop!" She held up her hand to stop me. I am so confused.
"Stop what?"
"Stop pretending Arjun. Stop acting innocent. Dont act like I dont know what game you are playing. Because I know everything now. Its crystle clear to me. I know I've been a fool before to trust you twice but not anymore. I will not let you make fool of me anymore." She shouted crying at the same time.
This is hurting me. I can never think doing anything wrong to her. I CAN NEVER DO ANYTHING WRONG TO HER. Why cant she believe me? Why DONT she believe me? Why not me?
I wiped the tears from my check which I just realise slipping from my eyes. Walking towards her but she flinched.
"I didnt do anything what are you talking about?"
"Really?" She shouted.
"Then how can you explain this?" She took her phone out of her bag and went to the gallary to show me some pictures.
"This. This. See? Do you see it? Can you explain it?"
"I..I.."
I dont know what to say. I cant explain what I saw.
Riya's P. O. V
"I..I.."
Everybody is staring but I really don't care about his reputation anymore.
This incident alone has changed me forever. I am not going to save him of any humiliation or rather I'll be the one to humiliate him. I have suffered to much. Now its his turn. I will not let him to walk without shame in his eyes anymore. People should what kind of person is he. He is a monster with a heart of stone.
I showed him the picture from last night. From just an hour or less before he kissed me. He was kissing another girl at the bar. How could he? How could he do this to me? Its all my fault. I am the weak stupid one. How can I be such a fool I saw him and I couldn't hold my emotions. Its not like I didn't try. Believe me I tried my best. But what can I do of my heart? It melts me seeing him standing there in his most vulnerable state. I thought..I thought I saw love...
"You are jerk. You used me just like you did before. You are a shameless jerk Arjun. A shameless monster with heart of a stone. I hate you. I hate you so much"
"No please no don't say that. No Riya please its not true. All of this is not true. I swear I really love you..."
"Stop lying.." she screamed.
"Shh..baby please look everyone is looking at us. We should talk just listen to me first. I am not lying I was angry at you because I thought Abhish was your boyfriend thats why I did this..I am so sorry I was being stupid.."
"Just shut up Arjun. How dare you. You are blaming this dirty act of yours on Abhish and me? How dare you?"
"No..nonono I am not blaming you. Oh I am so stupid so so so stupid. Listen to me... just listen. Oh god what is happening."
"No no no YOU are not stupid I am the one who is stupid to think for once that I should trust you again."
"Dont say this I love you dammit."
"Oh you kiss other girls while you are in love?
Let me be clear then I don't want your love or your care or your jealousy or any emotion which has anything to do with you."
"I hate you Arjun. I JUST HATE YOU SO MUCH"
Oh god I cant believe everything is happening to me. Why me god? Why?
Who am I blaming its my fault. It was all my fault. I let myself believe. Why do I even love him? Why cant he love me and only me like I love him. Why cant it just be me? I am noamgonna love anybody ever again. I wont trust anybody.
I knelt down crying on the floor and he held me pleading for forgiveness. For what? If he was sorry why did he do it in the first place. He isn't sorry. For anything he has done to me so far.
I was loosing my mind in anger when I heard my name.
"Riya. Get up." Abhish was there this whole time with me. I was angry at Arjun that I even forgot his presence.
He held me by my arm and helped me get up.
"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.
I was listening to all this silently because I had nothing to say. I am already very upset I dont want to add to this. I snatched my arms away from his grip. I made my way to my bike put on my helmet and I left. Without any word.
