Kiara walked into the mansion, a smile playing on her lips, but it faded away the minute she glanced at the soul sitting on the couch in the living area.
Dhruv had a pleased smile on getting a sight of Kiara, but it turned into a frown, seeing her smile fading away. Kiara attempted to mask a smile as she walked towards him, but Dhruv could see through it.
"From when you started hiding your emotions?" He commented as Kiara stood before him. Kiara was taken aback by his response but soon grabbed herself.
"Years of friendship allowed me to learn that skill from you." Kiara mocked back making Kajal interrupt.
"Kiara!" Kajal scolded but Kiara ignored her presence.
"What are you doing over here, Dhruv?" Kiara came directly to the point.
Dhruv stared at her for a minute, and Kiara averted her gaze. "I wanted to talk to you," he was almost pleading.
Kiara gazed at him for a second, sighing heavily she whispered back. "What is it?"
Dhruv eyed Kajal's presence, "aren't you free? Can't we just watch a movie together or what about an ice cream party?"
Kiara glanced at Kajal, "come..." she walked upstairs without sparing a glance at Dhruv.
"Thanks for taking my offer. So, what shall we watch? Have your preference changed from the last time we..." Dhruv had started off but Kiara interrupted him in between.
"I didn't want mom to have bad opinions about you." Kiara sounded distant.
"Are you mad at me?" Dhruv inquired sounding upset.
"Do you think I am mad at you?" Kiara chuckled, "I thought you knew me better."
"Kiara, I am aware ..."
"You said, you wanted me to move on with Harshad." Kiara reached her door, as she pulled it, and walked inside followed by Dhruv. "I will soon learn to like Harshad and I might forget your existence. Then what are you doing here? Why have you entered my life if you wanted me to forget you?" Kiara growled at him in fury. "You have decided what's better for me than let me leave with my present. Why do you keep jumping and attempting to destroy me further?" She was accusing him, her eyes fuming in rage accompanied by tears.
"Kiara," Dhruv attempted to take a step forward but Kiara gestured for him to stop.
"You have played enough with my feelings, Dhruv." Kiara sounded serious, her orbs were stern. "I would have forgiven you if you hadn't felt a thing for me because I understand you can't force your heart to feel things but you lied to me. You betrayed me." She pointed a finger at him with accusing orbs, she was attempting to brush off those tears. A sign of the agony she had undergone for months.
"Do you have any idea, how broken I was when each time you pulled me away? How it shuttered me into pieces?" Kiara was attempting hard not to break down in front of him. To keep herself together. "You made me question my worth, Dhruv. I kept repeating to myself that you weren't at fault because you didn't love me the way I did. And maybe you didn't..." she shook her head. "Because if you loved me, your heart won't have ever allowed you to treat me in such a manner."
"You too might have been as broken as I am on the mere thought of you in pain." Kiara averted her gaze from him in disgust.
"You're aware why I did it," Dhruv pleaded. "I... was afraid that history might repeat itself. What if... What if..."
