"Here's your coffee."
As Ryan passed the coffee to Maya. Without uttering a single word, she almost snatched it from him.
Ryan: "...."
He was having difficulty in believing that the woman sitting on the backseat of his car was a 24 years grown-ass woman but was still behaving like 12 years old stubborn girl who is throwing tantrums at him for such a lame reason.
" I ain't showing any tantrums but it's only you who is not telling about your stupid surprise!"
Ryan: "...."
He was again speechless not only because of her reply but he didn't realise that he spoke his thoughts out loud.
Cursing at himself, he sat on the driver's seat and started driving the car. In between, he used to take some sips from his coffee.
The sound of slurping and breathing could only be heard in that silence.
Maya wasn't interested in talking to him and was busy on her phone while having her coffee. After some time when she finished her coffee, she again got busy.
She was so engrossed in her phone that she didn't notice Ryan staring at her through a rare-view mirror in intervals.
That's what he thought...
But soon he was caught red-handed when both of their gazes met in the mirror and Ryan couldn't help but almost jump on his seat in horror.
For a moment, he felt like he saw a ghost but then he controlled his emotions and kept driving without peeking at her for even a sec this time.
Maya was also not in the mood to talk to this little brat and again got engrossed in her phone. Soon, she started feeling a little dizzy.
Her eyelids were getting heavy with the weight of the sleep.
Her brain was also signalling her to sleep for a second but she tried her best to keep her eyes open as she still wasn't sure about Ryan.
Although for a while he didn't do anything to her still she wasn't completely assured not after the betrayal she faced in her previous life.
With all the determination not to sleep, she tried her best to be engrossed on phone but due to exhaustion or whatsoever reason, she failed to awake miserably.
When Ryan saw her in this state, he said, " What happened?"
Maya didn't answer him but instead, she held her head and soon her upper body fell to the other side of the seat. Ryan also saw her but didn't say anything and kept driving.
" What did you...mix in that.. coffee?" She finally asked.
With great difficulty, she held his hand making him turn towards her when Ryan looked at her through the rare-view mirror and said while having a suspicious smile on his face, " Don't worry, I will wake you up when we will arrive at the destination."
With this, he removed the grip of her hand on his hand and pushed her a little making her lay on the seat again.
She looked at him with a helpless expression on her face and said with clenched jaws, " I'll make you regret your decision. Mark. My. Words!"
These were her last words before her eyes got closed and she fell asleep on the back seat.
"Sweet Dreams, Raina."
He said with the same suspicious smile on his face.
~~**~~
" I LOVE YOU!"
He said.
" NO! YOU DON'T! YOU ALREADY DID WHATEVER YOU WANTED TO DO BUT NOT.. THIS!"
Her last words almost escaped with a sob. The tears were urging to come out of her eyes but the anger in her eyes soaked those tears.
She has been through many miseries and she was having the ability to go through all this again!
But.... being betrayed by her loved ones! Trusted ones! Near ones! was enough for breaking her stone and non-beating heart into pieces which till now wanted to be alive....that wanted to beat not for herself but HIM.
" Please believe me! I didn't leak the information about it."
Sensing helplessness in his statement and the tears in his eyes made her scoff. Even now when the truth is out, he was still playing the victim card.
Like he was the one who trusted..
Like he was the one who loved...
Like he was the one who got BETRAYED..!!!
She couldn't take it anymore and the tears from her eyes fell on the ground.
Suddenly she closed her eyes and thought.
" I WILL TAKE REVENGE ON EVERYONE... ESPECIALLY YOU! WHO BETRAYED ME.. UNTIL THE RIGHT TIME COMES. AND I PROMISE AS THAT RIGHT TIME WILL COME THE DESTINY WILL MAKE ME STAND INFRONT OF YOU AGAIN! AND THAT MOMENT WILL BE THE LAST MOMENT OF..."
She couldn't even complete her sentence because of her foolish heart which was already injured by his betrayal but was still beating for him.
Also, her every thought was announced like an Oracle to him. And the time when she stopped in between it made him also close his eyes in agony.
He was knowing what she was going through still his hands were tied.
He knew if he even cut out his heart for her still he wouldn't be able to gain her trust again.
He was devastated and was regretting the moment when he said yes to them.
He regretted not telling her the truth beforehand.
He regretted breaking her heart.
He regretted breaking her trust.
Her love, trust and she herself was a treasure for him but instead of taking care of them and showing gratitude, he threw them like a thra...
He couldn't even think of the thing he did to her. For him also it was very painful to even say those words and here she was who have gone through those painful and miserable situations.
But before he could think of anything else he sensed something and as he opened his eyes, he saw her burning alive infront of his eyes!!
Without caring for anything, he ran towards her and shouted, " MAYAAA!!!!"
With this, her eyes got shot open and screamed her lungs out, " NOOOO!!!"
