Madhu's P.O.V...

I dialed his number with trembling hands tears were making it way in my eyes... "Ring...Ring...Ring...the number u r dialing is busy!!!" I luk at my cell waiting for his call back... after a moment my cell buzzed taking a deep breath I answered it...

"hello!!"

"Hi... madhu..." his voice came in slow tone...

Silent prevail for a min I waited for him to say something but he didn't so I asked him directly

"why u never told me everything before??"

"I..dont ...I was unable to say anything I was scared..." he spoke stammering...

Scared really he was scared to say this... how can he gave such a lame reason...

"I had asked u about this before our relation started still u did this to me!!"

"I know but at that time things were different..."

"I trusted u rishab with my whole heart accepted u thinking u r the only one for me... but u... u proved me wrong..."

Completing myself I sobbed... my tears were no more in control... again silent prevailed I can hear my sobbing nd his husky deep breath...

"please don't cry madhu... I know its all my fault but I don't know what to do... please forgive me!!"

He spoke in concerned tone... pleading for forgiveness... I didn't replied I was at lost of words how I can forgive him... he came in my life made me dream about fake future then betrayed me now asking for forgiveness... for him it was so simple so easy... rubbing off my tears from cheek I asked him one last question in serious tone...

"just tell me what u want to do finally???"

"right now I want to be with her... I cant break up my relation with her..."

That's it I got my answer he don't love me moreover he never ever loved me... he just cheated on me... I speak in stern voice...

"ok so be happy with her nd gud bye!!!"

"bye!!"

Call ended nd with it all my hopes my happiness everything my whole life shattered into pieces in some mins...

--------

Some days before I was the most happiest girl in this world... having perfect life... a loving nd caring family... such friends who mean to me more than anything... nd a perfect guy in my life Rishab kundra...

A very handsome nd charming guy... who so easily stole my heart...it all started before a month when we met here at my place... he is distance relative of mine nd came to my city for a week to attend my brother's marriage... that whole week was bliss for my life... I was on cloud nine...

It was not love at first sight in fact my mom dad has chosen him as my life partner but still anything was not confirmed... before he came here we were talking generally via msgs like gud friends... in between he proposed me at one night... that was most beautiful moment of my life... without thinking anything I said yes to him... still I had asked him on same day"don't u hv GF??" nd he had told me"no we broke up some months before nd we r just gud friends..." I trusted his words blindly...

One week of my bro's marriage we spend together cherishing each sec in each other's company... we get to know each other in a gud way... slowly nd steadily my heart deeply fall for his love, affection nd care... in my home also everyone started to like him in few days nd that was so obvious coz he hold such a charm that no one can resist...

He made so many promises to me while going away from me...going back to his home to another city... after that also we were regularly talking on cell... then little by little his affection care all vanished... I always felt he is ignoring me not talking to me... first I thought its becoz of work load but later this assumption also failed making me more restless day by day...

Then finally it happened I came to know he is dating his ex he is always being with her that's why behaving like this... it came to me liked someone snatched my soul... I hv never thought about it in my worst dream that he will cheat on me... will make me to go thru such pain...moreover this all things I got to know from my best friend he spoke to her nd told everything to her... means rishab was not having guts to reveal truth before me this thing hurted me more... it proved it all where I stand in his life...for him I was nothing...
-------

After talking to him I walked to my room lifeless not knowing what to do know...I sat on my bed a lone tear escaped from my eyes slowly a sob came from my mouth... then I cried my heart out... sobbing badly shouting like mad...

"why u did this to me??? W..H..Y??? what wrong I hv done to u... I just loved u like crazy... I trusted u R..i..s..h...a..b!!!"

I cried nd cried whole day whole night the pain of betrayal never leaving from my heart giving me such an ache inside... I wanted to shout at him... I wanted to slap him for doing this to me... I wanted to ask him what he conquered by giving me such pain... but I cant... I just cant... after that day every night I pleaded to god...

"please god release me from burden of this pain... don't give me such a harsh punishment... please tell him to come back in my life... please make me realize this all is just a nightmare... plz!!!"

To my bad luck nothing like that happen... days passed... months passed... but he never came back...I started to live in his memory... wherever I stand his memory came alive in my mind... the days we spent together here in my home... there Is no single place where he had not carved his presence...

Somehow I concentrated on my studies with affection of my friends nd sister... I never told anything to mom dad... also about marriage thing no talks were heard further... may be he had told her mom not to drag this matter further...

Little by little his memory also faded with passing of years... I completed my MBBS nd began to live a new life while practicing in most reputed hospital of the city... where I met Angad... we become good friends... he was very kind nd caring towards me... he always understood me supported me... my mom dad also started to like him... living in his company I totally forget about Rishab...

But fate always plays with our lives... same thing is happening wid me... I m sitting before mirror wearing my wedding dress loaded with heavy jewelry was cherishing my last some mins in my house with my friends nd sister... suddenly my room door opened I luked from mirror nd my whole world turned upside down...I became numb at the sight...

The old tears came into my eyes... somehow composing myself I stood up from chair turning around facing him... there stood my whole past Rishab Kundra... he spoke

"I want to talk to u... alone!!"

My sis trishna who stood beside holding me giving me support to deal wid the situation... I just nodded my head luking at her side... she got it nd everyone left from room leaving both of us alone here...

"I love You Madhu..."

Those word hit my ears making me to clutch my lehnga with both hands...I shut my eyes making tears roll down from my cheek...

He is here before me saying those words for which I craved for many years but at that time he never came to me nd said so... I poised myself taking a deep breath I replied

"but I don't!!"

He started to say something but I stopped him showing my hand nd spoke in serious tone...

"just leave from here I don't want to listen anything rishab..."

"please give me one chance..."

He pleaded and I ignored him shouting back...

"JUST LEAVE I SAID!!!"

His face become dull luking down he simply walked out from room... I fall on my knees again crying in pain... I heard door open but didn't luked up... next second trishna hugged me saying

"please stop crying madhu!!! Did he hurt u again... tell me what happened??"

I replied wid a cry

"why he came back to me now didu?? Why??"

She hugged me more tightly patting my back consoling me with all possibilities... I continued

"why he was not there when I was craving for him... why he never said those words when I was dying to hear thm... why he was not with me when I was craving to be in his embrace... why??"

As I took a step on stair walking down along with trishna nd my mom... whole living area echoed with everyone's murmuring... praising my luks... I kept my head down nd walked into mandap trishna helped me in sitting with this heavy lehnga... I luked up nd saw a glee in angad's eyes... he smile luking at me I reciprocated... by his simple gesture he took away all my pain nd sorrow...

This is the reason why I m sitting here ready for this marriage... after crying for an hour I decided I will marry Angad... three years back wat rishab did to me today I can't do same to Angad... he loves me more than anything nd I can't break his trust his dreams...moreover I will not betray him coz I know the pain f betrayal...I cant be selfish like Rishab... Angad is the perfect man for me nd I like him coz from love my trust had been flew away three years back only...

I luk around but didn't saw rishab may be he left from here... then with all rituals nd blessings of our parents I got married... at our first night only I told everything that happened before to angad... like a kind person he understood me... consoled me... supported me... from then I again started my new life leaving each ounce of my past...
