A couple was sitting in front of Uncle with a girl that I was very familiar with, Natasha.
I looked back at Kabir and mouthed, "What the f*ck?"
What was she doing here? He didn't told me that they will be here too.
I feel like killing Kabir right now.
"You came at a very good time beta. This is Mr. and Mrs. Singh, Natasha's parents." Uncle said when he saw us coming in the house.
"They came to talk about Kabir's and Natasha's wedding." He said casually as if he didn't just dropped a bomb on my face.
What wedding? I don't know anything. I don't think I can even maintain my composure right now.
"Kabir didn't told me that he was getting married." My words came out harsher than I intended.
At this time, when I was already on the verge of losing my mind, the world would collapse if a certain someone won't interject.
"Aren't you his best friend? I thought he must have told you already." Natasha said which made me wish to beat the hell out of her.
Can't she learn to read the mood? She is already with him, yet she has to rub salt on my wounds.
"Well, I was very busy recently so I hardly got time to talk with him. It must have slipped out of his mind." I smiled at her politely.
Her smile stiffened when she realized what I said. It slipped out of his mind only means that this relation was never important to him. Who will forgot about their own marriage after all?
She can't blame me for doing that
She thinks that only she knows how to speak. Does she thinks everyone is blind like Kabir?
"Anyways, I know now. Congratulations both of you." I said halfheartedly.
I think at this rate I should consider being an actor. I must be a pro at it by now.
I don't know what I was doing here. Putting on a happy front while I was dying inside.
I didn't knew love could make you feel all of this. I sat there for a while and quickly went back a few minutes later after finding a random excuse.
"Let me walk you out." Kabir said embarrassedly. He invited me for dinner after all. I guess he was not aware of Natasha's arrival.
"No need. You stay with your guests."
What a strange situation it is. I love him and yet at this moment I don't even want to see his face.
I saw a text from Kabir after I reached home.
Kabir: [I am sorry. I was not aware that they would be at my home. As for marriage, Natasha wanted to get married as soon as possible. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I thought it would be better if I would tell you this face to face. I will treat you as compensation, ok]
He really thinks that a treat would make everything fine.
I try to push back the tears that are threatening to spill. I am not going to cry again and again because of him.
Aditi: [It's fine. As long as you are happy. I was just a shocked earlier.]
Kabir: [Let's meet next Sunday then. My treat. Do not refuse me. Puppy eyes.gif]
How can I refuse this? I will gladly agree even when it would kill me.
Aditi: [Yeah, I am not refusing. It's not like you are asking me to pay the bill.]
If it was before I would be over the moon to go out with him, but now I just don't want to face him. I can only hope that this phase would pass as soon as possible.
