Chapter 14

'I am all ears' Shahrukh said when he sat down

'Did Kajol come to you?' she asked nervously

'Yes, she did'

Amira came running to his way 'so you are not angry anymore?' she said with a big smile

'I didn't say that, of course I am still angry. Don't you realize what you have done?'

'what did I do?' she asked feeling confused

Shahrukh rolled his eyes 'don't make me lose my patience'

'I am serious, it is Abhishik who spoiled everything; he is weak'

'So you are taking revenge by marrying someone else?' he said furiously and she stood speechless in front of him, she sighed and sat down. She looked down and placed her palms to her head.

He sighed 'can you tell me what is going on? What are you doing?'

'I don't know Shahrukh' she said with a broken voice still looking down with her hand over her head 'I don't know what I am doing' then started breathing loudly 'why did he choose the easy way?' she looked up and cried out

He kneeled in front of her and held her hand; she started breathing heavily and panting between her tears 'okay calm down and breath with me' he said gently yet worried and tried to help her calm down and breath slowly. He waited for a while until she could breath normally 'I am sorry' he said sadly

'it is me who should be apologizing to you not the opposite. I didn't even think before I did what I did' she said between her breaths

'let's talk about it later, you need to rest' he said and stood up, he pulled her hands trying to make her stand up

She nodded in denial 'I won't be able to rest when you are angry with me'

He sighed and sat down 'I am angry for your own sake'

'okay I might be stupid but I am not selfish, I love you and I love Kajol and I am ready to do whatever it takes for your own good Shahrukh. I know you care about me and I care about you more than you even think. It is Ahishik who is responsible for all this mess' she said, tears were rolling down her cheeks

'it is okay if you don't want to talk about it'

She wiped her tears 'speaking about it now or later won't make a difference or change the fact that he abandoned me'

'what happened? What did he say?'

'he didn't say anything Shahrukh, it was only me who was talking. I asked him if he could put everything behind his back and start everything with me in a way or another, I was just talking, and all I wanted is to be reassured. I wish he could even lie to me but he didn't; his silence did say everything'

'when did this happen?'

'two days ago'

'I am so sorry that I wasn't by your side. But why didn't you tell me?'

'you have so much to worry about Shahrukh, and I am old enough to take care of my own business'

'take care of your own business my foot' he said in boredom, he thought for a while 'maybe he needs to take his time to think and you are pushing him as usual and wants everything to happen quickly'

'no one thinks twice about something he is sure of' she said, stood up and started pacing the room slowly 'you know what? Maybe he did think about it for real and chose Kajol over me. A young lady, pretty, rich and her mother is his father's old friend; so why not? Why lose everything for Amira when he could have the whole world with Kajol? It turns out that Abhishik was passing time with me and when he got bored he threw me away like a chewed gum'
