Nivi was talking to his friends when he came to their flat. He stilled seeing her there.
He was not yet ready to see her.
Without talking to them he went to his room with Nivi following him.
"Where were you since morning? I was waiting for you." She said softly looking at him.
Without a reply he went to his cupboard and took out a t-shirt to change into it.
When he didn't start the conversation she thought of taking control over the matters.
"You know I want to tell you something." She said gaining his attention.
He looked at her fiddling with her dupatta. She looked beautiful. She has that child like charm, which make her look very innocent. 
He was damn lucky to have her. But he was not sure if he deserves her.
"First I wanted to wait till you say it. But then I thought it doesn't matter who says first. So..." 
"I love you Mittu and I want you to marry me." She said with a light blush on her face.
She loves him! He wanted to pull her into a bone crashing hug and kiss her like there's no tomorrow.
But looking at her eyes that shone bright with love for him, he decided he would let her go. 
I am not good for you angel. Please forgive me he thought.
"Love?" He said with a scoff.
"And marry you? Are you crazy?" He asked shocking her.
"Please stop with your fantasies and grow up."
"What are you talking Mittu?" She asked in a whisper her face shell shocked.
"I don't love you Nivedita." He said looking at her. 
Her eyes welled up. She looked into his eyes. She remembered how they would look at her like she was some treasure. How they would search for her if she disappears just for few minutes.
"No. I don't believe you. You are lying." She shouted tears escaping her eyes.
He took a sharp breath. He couldn't see her cry. He wanted to pull her to him. But he couldn't do.
"Why would you think that? You are not that special to fall for you." He said turning opposite to her, he couldn't see her face with all the bullshit he was talking.
"Then, why did we., why did you.. yesterday..." She struggled to finish them. She was too heart broken to form full sentences.
She was hoping that any minute now he would laugh saying it as a prank and he really loves her.
Mittu took a deep breath and faced her.
"Don't talk it like you are new to this. I saw how men will be falling over you and you will be alright with that. I just wanted to know how it feels when I am inside you. You are just a time pass to me. Don't hope for too much." He said mercilessly breaking her heart.
She staggered back looking at his arrogant smirk on his face. She didn't cry after that. She felt numb hearing Vivaan's words.
Turning back she left his room and locked herself in her flat.
.
She felt disgusted by herself. For believing him.
When she woke up to an empty bed that morning she didn't think much about it since he was in the next flat.
He is busy all the time lately with work and thought he was working and that's why he was not with her.
She didn't get any doubt because it was her Mittu after all. He would come to her always.
Never in her wildest dreams she thought he would be faking all these days.
She cried her self to sleep. Next day she woke up and decided to leave back to Mumbai.
She didn't want to be in his proximity anymore.
.
Varun and Viraj were horrified listening to Vivaan. They could hear their voices to the living room since they didn't close their door and they were definitely not talking slowly.
Once Nivi left they rushed to him.
"What have you done?!" Varun asked worried seeing Vivaan.
Vivaan was never this devastated. The things he spoke and the mess he made hit him hard.
He remembered Nivi's wistful face. He was sure, it will haunt him for ever.
He closed his eyes blinking back the tears, hardly controlling himself not to run back to her.
"I am going back to the mansion." He said taking his bag and hastily packing with the essentials, he left the flat.
.
Next day when they got to know that Nivi was leaving to Mumbai they hurriedly came to Vivaan's house.
"She is leaving to Mumbai today Mittu." Viraj said making Vivaan look at them with a jolt.
"What happened between you guys?" Varun asked softly. 
He sighed rubbing his face. He told how he misunderstood his parents and how he hurt his mother. How his temper is getting the best out of him.
"I am not correct for her. My mom was a strong women, still she suffered because of me. Nivi cannot handle if I do anything to her. I think I already broke her." He said clenching his jaws.
Taking a deep breath he looked at them. "It's better this way."
.
"Take care darling. We will miss you." Viraj said kissing her forehead.
They came to the airport to see her off. They wanted to tell why Mittu behaved like that. Be he made them promise him not to tell her.
They felt miserable seeing her leave.
"Don't forget us and keep in touch ok?" Varun said hugging her.
She hugged him back, sniffling. She had been crying since the flight's first announcement was made. 
She felt sad leaving them. They became her family. She didn't want to leave them but if she stays he will be there. There's no other option than to leave.
"You too take care and stop drinking, atleast for my sake." She said looking at them.
They nodded with a sad smile.
