In a loop
I'm stuck in a loop of pain, torture, and exuberance. I've been stuck in it for 2 years now, on and off.
Every time I get out of this unfortunate cycle, I pray with all my heart that I don't want to enter it again, yet I keep ending up here.
After every cycle ends, I see him coming closer to realization, than he previously was, and think that this is it, just a little bit of patience, and it's happily ever after. Just wait a little more, and it'll be all euphoric. And I wait, because I can wait for him for a lifetime. But that didn't include having to see him with someone else.
Why do I have to go through this? Why does every time he comes closer, he just drifts apart suddenly?
Why??
I have so many 'why' in my head, yet there's no answer to it.
Just how much pain am I supposed to bear, before I crumble? What wrong have I done, that I have to repent like this?
As soon as he introduced Kashish to us as his girlfriend, I fell numb. I didn't even have the courage to put up a facade.
I could see everybody smiling awkwardly, and glancing at me, yet my brain couldn't acknowledge it.
So I got up and walked back inside the house. I couldn't see it, yet I knew that everybody must be shocked.
I walked into the living room of my house and walked toward the stairs, ignoring Maa and Mumma sitting on the couch.
" Ana " I heard the panting voice behind me. I stopped but didn't turn around.
" Ana? " I felt his touch on my hand, that was on the railing of the staircase. I slowly took my hand from under him and started walking upstairs. I could practically feel his shock.
I heard footsteps running behind me on the stairs, then felt Haans turn me around on the staircase.
He looked concerned and confused, waiting for me to say something. But I didn't say anything and kept a poker face, well it was involuntary because all I felt was numbness.
He climbed up on the same stair I was on and looked down at me with a frown " Ana, are you okay? "
" She's just experiencing some headache " I heard Piku say.
" What? Since when? Ana, why didn't you tell me? " He was worriedly touching my forehead.
When I didn't say anything he got anxious " Ana, is it painting too much? Wait let's go to your room, you should lie down. "
He took my hand in his and just as he was about to take me upstairs, I tugged him downstairs, to the living room, with me.
" Ana? Baby, you need to lie down. " Haans said, but I paid no heed to it and laid back on the couch.
