Elle's pov:
I said to come him to my house. I'm so angry right now. Why only I'll face these things?
I was standing at my balcony when I saw him coming to my house. I keep staring at him. He click the calling bell and someone opened the door for him.
I'm standing when he shouts,
"Where are you elle?". "Here, at the balcony", I said angrily. He comes to me and asked, "what happened? You seem angry".
"Yes, I'm angry! My mom came in my room and throws the home theatre's remote away..and also said our marriage is by next month", I said so fastly that I can't even take breathe.
"What? Marriage? Next month", he said shockingly.
"Yes! But why you're shocked? After our marriage, the one who will be sad is me. You'll roam around with your girlfriend all day and come to house and will order me to do this, this and this. But me? I have no one", I said.
"What you mean by this? I'll order you? Listen, I don't want you to be my slave that's why I'm doing these all to stop this marriage", he said.
"I don't know. They won't listen either to you or me", I said angrily.
He put both of this hands on my shoulder harshly, shaking me and said, "for you, I'm also suffering. My girlfriend always doubts me. But who'll make her understand? I just hate you. I don't want you to be with me". And this, this broke me. This line that hates me. I also hate him but I don't mean it totally. I removed his hands from my shoulder.
"You're so rude, i..I also hate you", I said bitting my lower lips, trying hard not to cry. "Do whatever you want", he said and left. I sit down there. I can't help crying. So this is the punishment God's giving me right?
I went to sleep again, crying.
Next day, at office
I was doing nothing but stare at the laptop thinking the last night. I shouldn't blame him. He hasn't anything to do with this. Kate, my co worker came and called my name. I come out of my imagination.
"Yeah?what?", I asked. She again showed Steven's account. Bitch not again.
"Where's the picture?", She asked me.
Picture? Which! I take her phone and don't see the post he uploaded with me. He deleted it! I feel like crying again. But no, I can't. If he doesn't care my feelings, why I'll?
" I don't know", I said and try to ignore her questions.
"You don't? Do you guys have a fight or you guys broke up", she asks, acting concerned about me this time.
"I don't know man, I seriously don't, can you please go?", I said. She nodded and went.
Huh! If that small fight made him delete that post, I can't even think about the big fights we'll have next when we'll marry. There will be fights if we marry. Cause there is seriously no communication between us.
It's lunch time now.
Jimmy comes to me and asked if I can go with him to a restaurant to have our lunch? I said no to him. I feel like eating alone. I was alone and I have to be alone again. I have to comfort me all by myself.
I went to a Café. I sat and ordered a burger and a Starbucks. I was going to eat when I saw Kate standing at the corner, waving at me. Please! I can't now. She'll again ask about us.
She sat with me. We started eating but she broke the silence.
"Well, Elle! I was never nice to you..I'm sorry for this", she said.
"It's okay", I said and smiled.
"Can we be friends? I have also no friends at the office. I'm new in this city actually", she said. Yeah! We can.
I nod and she smiled brightly.
"But Elle, you are sad for something, right?", She asked. I nodded and looked down. She holds my hand and said, "I know it's hard dating an actor. And I also know it's more hard to tell me your problems, but you can", she said smiling. Can I? I also want to share my problems with someone. But I don't know her so good. I only know as her my co worker.
"Can I trust you, Kate", I asked. She nodded. And then, I told her. How we met by our father's source, how we dated, how I came to know that he has a girlfriend, and how our parents are forcing us..I told her all. She listened to me, she understood the whole matter.
"Do you meet his girlfriend?", She asked. I shook my head. Bruh, I don't wanna meet his girl. Huh! She must be pretty.
"You like him?", She asks. And I..what to say? I did but not now. After yesterday, I hate every atoms of him.
"I.. no I don't", I said. She nodded.
"Listen, this isn't how its gonna work. Make Steven's parents meet his girlfriend. Make her girlfriend as good as you can infront of em. Make them like her, make them cancel your wedding. You can do this!", She said. Well, it's an good idea though, I should say him. But after yesterday! I don't wanna talk with him. Not at all. I left the café with Kate after finishing our burger and Starbucks.
It's 8pm, at my home.
I was doing job on my laptop, when my phone rings. I took the phone and see an unknown number. Who can it be? Steven?
