Atif's POV
"Hey," I said walking inside my house.
"How was it?" Mom asked.
"Amazing," I said. "Guess what?"
"What?" She asked.
"I don't have to be with Shyama because she got engaged to someone else," I said as dad walked in.
"No, she only said that so you can keep your job. She told me that she would rather die than be even look at you again," he said.
I'm not that bad!
"She made sure that I promised to not kick you out. I know you hate her but she should be the one to hate you," he said and left.
I don't need her to make my decisions for me.
I ran to my room and slammed the door.
A few minutes later I got a text from Mithul.

I was so pissed off. I called Nandika.
"Hey babe," she said.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"I'm at home," she said.
A heard cars honk in the background.
What a liar!
"Stop," she said laughing like I wasn't on the phone.
I just hung up. She probably thinks I'm with Shyama now so she is with someone else.
I called Shyama.
"What now?" She asked.
"I want to marry you," I lied.
I'm going to give you hell.
"I'm engaged," she said.
"Stop! I know that was a lie. Dad told me everything. I'm going to marry you," I said.
"You don't control my life!" She yelled.
"Just give me a chance. I even apologized," I said.
"You just want to hurt me," she said.
Smart girl.
"I don't. I know that Nandika is cheating on me," I said.
"What?" She asked suprised.
"Ya," I said.
"Are you okay? Do you need someone to talk to?" She asked.
I'm suprised once again.
"No Shyama. I just want to move on," I said.
A part of that was true.
"Okay then," I said.
"What?" I asked.
"I'll marry you," she said.
Woo! I can give you hell!
"Thanks," I said.
"Hhhmmm," she said.
We were quiet for a little bit.
"Atif, are you sure you don't need someone to talk to?" She asked.
Why is she asking? I'm trying to hate her.
"I'll be fine," I said.
"I know I'm not the person you want to talk to but try talking to Mithul. You might be able to feel better," she said.
"I will," I said.
I was planning on doing it anyways.
"I have to go make dinner. Bye," she said.
"Bye," I said and hung up.
This might be harder than I thought.
