_Ranjish_

~Chapter 13~

Aadheesh watched his reflection in the mirror. He doned in the attire, looking all ready for the engagement.

~Aadheesh's POV~

It breaks.
I can actually feel it.
She got me ready. Without an ounce of hesitation. She was okay with it.
She was okay.
While I, I am drowning.
I..
I just can't.
Did she never loved me?
Did she..

It pains to know, that my first love, is successfully ruined, and today I'll be myself liting the pyre of it.

It shouldn't be hurting this badly na?
It's not like I lost her today.
I lost her the day she chose herself over our love.
The day she won herself, and lost "us".

Was " Trust "  really a big thing that I asked for?

A tear rolled down my eye. I watched my reflection.
The to-be-groom.

--------------------------------------------------------------

~Rishita's POV~

I am ready. Ready to watch him officially become someone else's.

I got him ready.

Only I know, how much it pained.
To make him wear those things, to get him ready for his engagement.
Only I know.

No one will ever know, or understand what I went through.
I'll never tell anyone, how broken I felt.
How broken..

But is shouldn't right?
It shouldn't pain this badly.
It's not like I lost him today.

I lost him the day that he chose others over me.
The day he chose not to trust me.
The day he won his people, and lost "Us".

Was " Trust" really a big thing that I asked for?

Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched my reflection.
All ready. All dolled up his engagement.

--------------------------------------------------------------
~Author's POV~

Aadheesh was all ready. He walked downstairs, when his phone rang. Looking at the number he received the call.
"Hello! "
"Sir, Can we meet! "
"Abhi? ", Aadheesh questioned as he looked around. He could see the families around.
But without much of second thoughts he quickly replied, " I'll be there. Regular place! "

Aadheesh quietly made out from the place, without coming into anyone's notice,but not before telling Alok to handle things here.

--------------------------------------------------------------

It was nearly time. Aadheesh had still not returned.
Alok was tensed. But he breathed  a sigh of relief as he saw Aadheesh entering.
But Aadheesh's face was stoic.
"Kya huwa? ", Alok asked.
Aadheesh just nodded his head in a no.
" Let's talk about it later! ", Alok said as he guided Aadheesh inside.

(" Now? ")
("What happened? ")

Aadheesh was standing in between the people. His friends were surrounding him. Alok stood right next to him.
Nishita was standing beside him.
They were twinning.
Aadheesh looked handsome in the pink sherwani. His features were totally adding to his glory. The light stubble, sharp nose, eyes piercing the crowd.
"Aadhi, I hope you did give some good compliments to Nishi! ", Vacky, one of their friend teased.
" No Vacky! He didn't! ", Nishita said dejectedly. She wanted compliments. She dressed up for him after all.
" You are looking good, Nishi! ", he said. Totally unbothered. His attention was somewhere else only. He was waiting for her. And everyone around could guess that out, he was quiet obvious.
