“I am here , for you “

 

5 missed calls and 20 unread texts , all from her.
” Open the door dammit ” with one eye open, he read the latest one. He quickly rushed to open the door , still sleepy he was.

There she was sitting on the staircase infront of his flat.

” Hey ! Hi .. m sorry I was sleeping… my phone was on silent mode.. am sorry I couldn’t ” before he could complete his sentence , she hugged him tightly.

“Hey, what happened ? Are you crying ?” He asked caressing her hair , “Tell me ” .

“Nothing” she said as she tightened her grip.

He could hear her sob. “What happened baba , tell me ?” He asks rubbing her arm.

** “stop crying i can’t see you like this” his heart begged.**

“Okay come here , sit and tell me what happened ” he asks as he makes her sit on the couch.

Looking at her ,crying her heart out was the vision that his heart hated the most.

“Tell me ” he said raising his voice this time.

“He ditched me ” she blurted ,crying her heart out.

** “bastard he is, asshole”  his heart screamed in anger.**

He sighed , as he rubbed her arm. “And ? ” he asks.

” we are over ” she exclaimed wiping the tears. ” He was into some girl since few days , he said that there was nothing but ” she added.

“Hmm… What girl ?” He asks.

“ I don’t know , some Neha she is ” she said rolling her eyes.

“Okay , how did you got to know about this girl ? ” he asks.

“I got anonymous mails , carrying screenshots of there conversations and  stop asking me questions now , I am already fucked up” she shouted as she hit him on his head.

“Okay , okay , relax ” he said holding her hands.

” I wish I had listened to u earlier , I wish I had taken your warnings seriously ” she said as tears kept flowing from her eyes.

He remembers how many times he had warned her about him , tried to tell him about his girlfriends and how she used to ignore.

” hey , its okay don’t cry over him now , he never deserved you” he said giving her the side hug.

** “I did ” his heart whispered**

“I am glad that finally you got to see his real face” he added

“I wish he was like you “ she said.

“I wish I was as lucky as him “ his heart exclaimed.

“Hmm..” He said.

“I feel so bad and alone” she said as she hugged him tight.

** “Alone ? I am with you baby , don’t worry “his heart whispered.**

“You need to relax , don’t stress yourself so much” he said.

“I don’t know what would I do without you , I love u ” she said, her eyes becoming heavier due to crying

**”I wish you did , but I love you ” his heart said blushing **

” same here ” he said stroking her hair , as she falls asleep.

He then takes out the phone , and deletes the screenshots and the images , he sent her last night from his fake account.

** “I am always with you , don’t worry ” his heart said .**
