"I didn't want to go away but dada ji and ma thought that sending me away was the best option, I refused, I told bhai that I don't want to go away... I didn't want to stay alone, he tried to stop them too but well we were young and they thought we were not mature enough to make such decisions. They ignored my request, they ignored what bhai was trying to say, they forced me and I gave up fighting, what all I could think was that they didn't want me and I didn't want to stay where I was unwanted.
Manvi didn't interfere she just listened, listened to what he was saying, his side of the story.
"Roshni was that fresh breeze of my life which brought happiness, she made me smile, laugh, taught me how I should have fun instead of wasting my life grueling... living was so easy with her... the initial few months were nothing but happiness, carefree life where we didn't have anyone to order us around, all my life I have been doing what dada ji asked me to do, almost everything and when I had the freedom I just went on living the life which was nothing but having fun, but it changed... it gradually changed and I started to understand that it wasn't me, I was not what I am... I was not someone who plays around with a girl and then move to another one, I couldn't keep my emotions under control and I started to fall in love with her, I changed my ways... I wanted to be a responsible person, I wanted to complete my studies, I did too... I worked hard and I wanted Roshni to realize it... you know she was very different, she never got attached to a person, she used to be with me all day and night... But never told me about her life, I didn't know who her parents were, where they lived, I knew nothing... she lived alone; her parents lived separately that was all what I knew. I thought it would change, I thought she would accept me but that never happened... and that was when I decided to ignore everything and just go propose her, she rejected my proposal." Virat stopped his face edging with anger and regret,
"Phir..."
Virat shook his head, "I went to her again but what I saw broke me completely... I was stupid to not to think, I always knew she did things just to distract herself, but when I saw her that close to another man, hugging... dancing and doing what not, I just couldn't bear the pain, I was furious, broken and more than everything I felt betrayed... I left,"
"Left?" Manvi asked now her eyes teary as she witnessed the pain in he was going through,
"Yeah... I left it all... I changed my Uni, threw my phone, left the city the same night, I was a coward," He punched the window sill hard, taking out his frustration,
"Virat ji..."
"I was a coward Manvi," he didn't let her touch him, "Because I should have gone asked her why she was doing all that even after knowing how much I loved her, but what did I do? I ran away..."
Manvi didn't understand why he was regretting his actions, he tried... she didn't want him.
"How did she... umm how did Roshni..." Manvi didn't know how she was going to ask,
"She was a cutter..." Virat revealed making Manvi gasp, "I was surprised too... Because Manvi I didn't know..." Virat's voice was loud, "Look how much I loved her... see how well I took care of a person who I loved... she was cutting herself and I didn't know, she was troubled and I didn't know... all I cared about was me, my love and my life",
~~~~Flashback~~~~
Virat was furious, he wanted nothing but to leave this sinful place... the betrayal was too much to bear, his self-esteem was hurt, it was crumbled into pieces, Virat couldn't believe she chose someone else over him, he couldn't believe the person who he loved so much was doing things like this behind his back, he wanted to leave... he wanted to leave everything behind and far away from this place and the fake happy memories it carried. He was so tensed so shaken he didn't know what he should do first or last, his brain was in no condition to think sensibly... he needed help, he thought of a person who could help him, a person who he could trust at this stage, that was when he remembered Abhijeet who he befriended the first day he came up to Canada, they studied in the same Uni but in different fields.
