The phone rings at the most unfortunate time, making Siddharth break away from me
"Ohh yes. Mukul. Tell me" Siddharth says walking out of the room
They chat for a mere 10 minutes, before Siddharth informs me that he 'has to run'.
"Mukul called me. I have to go back to office, it's something urgent. I'll see you later okay" Siddharth says putting on his coat
"Oh yeah. That's fine." I reply
Without further ado, Siddharth rushes out back to his office. I guess these kinda 'urgent' calls were common considering that he is one of the most successful business men in this city.
I go downstairs to make breakfast for myself, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Just as I head upstairs to take a shower, the doorbell rings. Expecting it to be Siddharth, I race towards the door - only to be faced with disapointment.
"Here you go" The mailman says handing me a letter addressed to Siddharth
"Thanks" I say slowly shutting the door
Just as I pop it on the table, I notice something on the envelope. A little pink heart is doodled on the corner of the envelope, with the initials 'D' on it. In utter confusion and curiosity, I rip open the envelope - only to find a handwritten note inside, reading :
Sid baby
I'll make this short - Meet me by the hotel(the usual spot), at 7pm tonight.
See you there
D
xx
In rage I slam the note on the dining table.
How dare he!
I feel so foolish for trusting him. He is still a cheat! He is still seeing that woman! He rambled on about how he was gonna 'change', but was that all just an act to get me to sleep with him? Cause why else would he suddenly try to get back with me after ignoring me for weeks. Myou blood is boiling. I have never felt so angry - so betrayed - so stupid.
S iddharth is such a playboy. I guess having one sexual partner isn't enough to please that cheat.
He does arrive from office soon enough. I kept the letter carefully tucked among the other sheets layingredients on the table.
"Sorry it took so long, Mukul called me urgently. That man can't do anything properly" Siddharth sighs
I sit in silence during his rant, and soon enough he notices me.
"Nisha, hey.... what's wrong " He asks slowly stroking my hand
"Ughhhr nothing Siddharth. Nothing at all"I say getting up from my couch
" It's about that call isn't it. Sorry we got interrupted, it was urgent babe" He laughs
So he thinks I'm in a bad mood just because our kiss got interrupted? Who does he think I am? A stupid brat like him?
"Yes. I'm still angry about that" I lie
"Look. It wasn't my fault. I promise I'll make it up to you tonight honey" He smiles cupping my face.
"Promise?" I ask plaging along
"Yes, promise " He says kissing my hand
"You do love me right?" I ask softly
"Mmmm. I'll decide that after tonight " He laughs
After noticing my face, he realizes that I'm not amused by his joke
"I was just kidding. Jeez have some fun" He says cuddling me
"Mm okay. I have to make lunch now" I say getting up
"I was thinking of going out for lunch today" Siddharth suggests
"That won't be nessasary, plus, don't you enjoy your wife's cooking?" I ask
"I guess so. I'm heading upstairs" He says pinching my waist
"Oh I almost forget! You got a letter" I yell as he Walks upstairs
"Who's it from?" He asks
"I don't know. I didn't check" I lie
Siddharth notices that the letter is out of its envelope, and is quick to question me
"There was a bug on it. A disgusting bug, I had to throw away the envelope. I didn't see the letter though" I clarify
"Mmmm that's okay"he says opening the letter
I watch as he reads the note. His face however, does not seem that happy - instead he looks serious.
"Nisha baby. I actually gotta go somewhere tonight. Sorry for the short notice " He sighs
"Ohhh that's a shame. How come?" I question faking my innocence
"Ummm. . .. . Actually this letter is from my friend, who asked to meet tonight" He stammers scratching his head
"Oh" I say
"It's some buisness matter " He adds
I know that's a lie, but I play along. I have a plan to get to the bottom of this - and catch him red handed. This is what he deserves for trying to trick me into falling for him.
Later that day, and exactly 6: 45, Siddharth heads off to his supposed 'buisness meeting'.
I have called Keerthi to aid me in this plan. She has her car parked near our driveway, luckily Siddharth does not notice her car. As Siddharth leaves, I hop into Keerthi's car and instruct her to follow his vehicle.
"I still can't believe he tried to trick you" Keerthi sighs
"Neither can I. I just don't get why he is doing this. We were fine as enemies before, why is he trying to patch up wity me when he is seeing another woman behind my back" I groan
A few cars infront of us, is Siddharth. He makes his way to the hotel whilst we follow him. He parks his car in the carpark, while we park it down the back of the hotel. Siddharth surely won't be able to see us from here.
We watch as Siddharth gets out of his Lamborghini, in his grey top and Nike sneakers. He makes his way up into the hotel. So far, no sign of that woman.
"Should I go in?" I ask
"No! No way! What if you get caught. I'll go in and I'll text u the details." Keerthi whispers getting out of the car
"Kay good luck sis" I whisper squeezing her hand
As every minute ticks by, so does my curiosity grow. Did Keerthi catch Siddharth? Why was it taking long?
Just then, Keerthi rushes over to the car.
"Hey what happened?" I ask bursting with curiousity
"Well... I got pics. Sorry it took so long, she was late so Sid was just waiting there for ages" Keerthi explains
"Show me the pictures Keerthi" I say peering at her phone
She swipes through multiple photos of Siddharth and a girl. It was the same girl from the party - the same mid length hair and popping dark eyeshadow. It was definatly her.
It did hurt to see the pictures, especially after the connection I had with Siddharth last night. In one of the pictures her face was just millimeters away from Siddharth, with her hands wrapped around him. Judging by his facial expressions, he was definatly seduced by her - after all, she was wearing one of those skimpy dresses western girls wear.
Keerthi notices my pain seeing the photos, and is rapid to pull the phone away from me.
"There's no point looking at these. Siddharth is Siddharth. I wonder if that playboy will ever mend his ways" Keerthi sighs
"I know. It just hurts cause I trusted him after last night. I actually thought he was gonna change. I guess he has fooled me once again" I sob
"Don't cry Nisha. You told me you'll stop shedding tears for Siddharth" consoles Keerthi
" You're right " I sob wiping my last year
"We should head home"Keerthi says starting the car
Back again home I shift my pillow back into the living room. I am not gonna sleep on the same bed as his again! I regret last night so much, I will not let him get close to me again.
As I expected, Siddharth does not return home that night. However, the next morning I find him asleep in his bed - as if nothing happened.I have had enough of this behaviour. Now that I have the photos of Siddharth with that girl, It's time I con fronted him
