Chapter 17 (part-2)

                                    

                                          
"OH. She is prakriti." I heard the girl saying while she stood up on her place. There was this remorse in her voice. I finally turned to her. I must say she was very beautiful. No wonder he likes her. 


                          
Divyansh was standing there looking at the floor. He didn't even try to hide or try to tell me that it is not what it's look like. I felt my eyes tear up but I keep them in.


                          
You will not cry. You will not cry.


                          
"Hi. Yes I am prakriti as you already know. But mind telling me who are you" I asked as politely as possible.


                          
"OH yes. I am kavya." She said. “prakriti divyansh told me that you are such a nice and a beautiful girl. That's why he was having hard time explaining you things. He didn't know how to tell you the whole story.” 


                          
I was so confused about what she is talking about.


                          
"What story. That he is cheating on my best friend. I knew there is something wrong about him and see he showed his true color" Priya snapped at her angrily from beside me. If kavya felt anger at her than she was doing a great job at not letting it show on her face. She is keeping her calm and classy attitude on. 


                          
How will I face priya. She warned me about him but I didn't believe her. Oh God.


                          
"Guys, let's sit down and talk . I wanted to talk to you yesterday about it but I didn't have stomach to do so." He said guiltily. My hold on my emotions were losing by his each word. I don't want to stay but I need to listen what he has to tell me. 


                          
"Divyansh. If you even for a second considered me as your friend or anything than please don't make it difficult for me anymore and say it fast." I said to him. He looked even more in guilty by that and looked at kavya. 


                          
"I am so sorry prakriti. You didn't deserve all this. It was all my fault. I was an asshole to you. Please forgive me....."


                          
"Just tell me god dammit. I don't have time for all of this. Is kavya your girlfriend or not?" I suddenly snapped at him. He sighed and looked at me. 



                          
"No. At least not yet. I and kavya met in our undergrads and we dated for 4 years. Then we started having complications and we broke up 6 months ago. She was in Mumbai working in a corporate firm while I was here. I thought I was over her when I approached you. I really liked you but it was totally as a friend which I tried to convert in love. I was happy when I was with you but soon I realized what I and kavya had was something different. Something special." He looked at her for a second or two before continuing and that look was enough to tell me what we had was nothing but a facade of love. I was seeing things with rose colored glasses which made them look more beautiful than they actually were. “I tried my best to forget her. But 15 days ago we again started talking. In last 6 months we both have realized that we belong with each other. We will not be happy with anybody else. Kavya came here last week and since then we were spending time together. I am so sorry that I used you as a rebound prakriti. You are a great girl. There is definitely someone out there who will love you more than anybody else. You deserve all the love because if I and kavya are together than it's because of you. I know it won't make what I did less of a crime but I am truly sorry for the damage that my perfunctory actions caused.” He completed and looked at me. 

                          
Now it made sense why he was ignoring me or ditching my calls. He was with her all the time. 


                          
It was just so much to take in. I stood there silently letting that all in. What I thought was liking, was not actually liking. Love is a very strong feeling and I knew what we had was definitely not love but I thought it as something which had potential to become that someday. But now I realized there was nothing to begin with from his side. I know he won't admit but he kinda used me as a girl to make kavya jealous. And it all hurts. Why it has to be me. As much as I love to be the medium of them to realize their true undying love for each other, I wanted to have that thing for myself too. I wanted somebody to love me too in that way . The feeling of hurt was bearable but doesn't mean it wasn't painful.
