It Was Always You

Past part 21

Continued...

As Naina left, Arjun felt a pinch in his heart, he hated himself right now... He never liked Naina in tears, and today he was the reason behind her sadness...

Rads was quick to recover and decided to take charge of the situation, as Jai and Arjun were awfully silent, looking at the direction where Naina went..

'Actually she is really tired and her mood is bit gloomy, because she had to clean her whole house by herself... You know right Jai ?' Rads asks

Jai nods and holds Arjun's shoulders, and he takes a deep breath

'Yes... I understand...' Arjun says, internally cursing himself

'Come I'll show you the clothes we selected for you, you tell what changes you want in them...' Rads says to Arjun, but he did not reply, just stared at the direction where Naina went

'Let's go Arjun...' Jai drags him towards the men's section

In the changing room

Naina sits on the chair, covering her face, sobbing badly, he was back... He was really back and Naina wanted to be happy, but no she couldn't ! Because he abandoned her, he chose the few months of relationship over their 3 year old friendship...

She takes a deep breath and wiped her tears, she cannot let him or anyone know that she was affected by his presence, she was not weak... A guy will not govern her mood, she will show him that she is happy, with him or without him... 

She looks at her reflection in the mirror and cursed herself, her nose was red now...

She removed the blouse and saw that the shoulder area, where Arjun held her tightly has turned red now, he left a bruise there...

It's nothing as compared to the bruise he left on my heart... She sighed

Soo filmy Naina... Her mind retorted and she frowned

She touched the bruise, it did not pain at all, just the area was reddened, of course he did not do it intentionally, he was trying to protect me...

She changed into her normal cloths, a black skin tight jeans and a red shirt, she adjusted her hair and properly folded the red lehenga and sighed

I will never be able to wear this for Arjun, she sighs and looks at her reflection in mirror

It still looked like she cried, she cannot go out like this, because Arjun will immediately understand that she was crying, and she cannot let him know that...

What can I do to look like I didn't cry...

I don't know... He won't bother anyway...

Whereas on the other side Arjun was filled with guilt, her teary eyes spellbound him, he was walking slowly behind Rads, not saying anything, when Jai shook him, breaking his trance

'Looks like your fantasy is fulfilled, she indeed welcomed you in a bridal dress...' Jai teases, but Arjun didn't budge

'She's angry Jai, she's very angry and hurt as well... I saw it, I saw it in her eyes...' Arjun says scared

'Oo Mr. Eye Reader ! She did not look mad or sad okay, she was perfectly normal, I think she was startled to see you here, that's it...' Jai rolls his eyes

'You won't understand Jai, though she looked okay, she was not.... I can tell... It's our thing...' Arjun sighs

Jai was about to reply, when Rads interrupted them
