Mara’s POV
“I DON’T!!” I yelled back at him and pushed him away making him stumble backwards.
“Yes, I am tired of all this pretend…Ethane I don’t love you…I never did but that doesn’t automatically mean that I hate you” I tried to get closer to him but he didn’t even spare me a glance as he walked away from me…more like stumped out of the room.
What the hell did I just do? Why did I just tell him that?
I slapped my palm on my forehead as I cursed myself inwardly…I was so infuriated by my own actions.
“What happened? Why did Ethane just walk out on me like that…I mean I was talking to him and he just walked away from me without saying anything to me” Keren spoke as she folded her arms and walked up to me.
“Ooh I see…there is trouble in paradise” she held my chin up and looked at me.
“Keren, why are you always here?” I angrily asked her.
“Yes…that is true.. Why am I always here?” She paused and looked at the ceiling for a while.
“Oohhh…now I remember, well maybe because I don’t have anything else to do ” Keren was being sarcastic as she giggled.
“What nonsense are you talking about? You run a law firm you should always be busy” I rolled my eyes.
“Ooh right…I forgot. I do run a law firm and you are my partner so why can’t I come here when I feel like it?” Yet again another sarcasm could be sensed in her voice.
“Keren” I blinked my eyes severally as I was just so confused.
“Mara you have more things to worry about rather than your boyfriend” she looked at me so ridiculously.
“You are right except for the fact that I wouldn’t have this boyfriend if you hadn’t forced me into dating him” I looked at her with some sort of disgust.
“Oh please don’t look at me like that…you and I both know that we needed the popularity he has in order to raise the firm and since we have gotten that…you can now break up with him. Unless the almighty Mara has fallen in love” Keren just couldn’t stop smiling to herself.
“Not a bad choice though…rich, handsome, well built and romantic. You could never have asked for someone better” Keren was being too mischievous even for me.
“Stop it Keren…I have already had enough for today…don’t add to my problems” I blinked my eyes slowly.
“Hey…I am not the reason your love story wants to end badly” she raised her hands in the air as if surrendering to me.
“Anyways I just came to tell you that I would be traveling so be a good girl while I am gone” she tapped my shoulders.
“You ain’t my mum” I rolled my eyes and pouted my lips.
“Just be good,” she said and turned around to leave.
Ethane’s POV
I combed my hair backwards with my fingers as I ran my fingers through my hair that was now rough and scattered.
I banged my head on the wheel of the car continuously until I began to feel dizzy.
“Hey man…you tryna kill yourself or what?” Scott, my best friend, opened the car door, almost making me fall down from the car.
“What are you doing here?” I rudely asked him as I stepped down from the car.
“You mean I can’t visit you at your house or are you just disappointed that I ruined your plans to commit suicide?” Scott rolled his eyes and folded his hands.
“You still didn’t answer my question” I looked at him with so much anger but why was I venting my anger on Scott?
“I know” Scott and I began to walk towards the entrance of my house.
“I’m not the only disappointed one I guess” Scott sounded so annoying as he looked at me.
“Let me guess…Mara did something again?” Scott asked…it was like he just couldn’t stop talking or something.
“She didn’t do anything…I am just in a bad mood, that’s all” I tried to lie my way out of the conversation.
“And what put you in this bad mood?” Scott raised an eyebrow as he relaxed on the sofa.
“Work” I avoided eye contact with him.
“So you are trying to tell me that you were trying to kill yourself by banging your head because of work?… oh please spare me that trap” Scott waved his hands in the air and from his reaction it was obvious he didn’t believe a word I said and he wasn’t going to believe me either.
“So I’m upset because of Mara…do what you can do to change the situation” I told him.
“Hmmn.. anyways I am not here because of you and your lover.. I am here to tell you I would like to fly back to India by tonight”.
“WHAT!” I was completely shocked.
“Why would you do that…. I mean…you just came back…wait does this mean that your family is no longer angry with you?” I stammered.
“Woah! Woah ! Woah! You have to calm down there, you know. You are attacking me with far too many questions” Scott shook his head.
“Sorry but all of them are in dying need of answers” I adjusted myself on the couch so that I was more comfortable.
“No, my family hasn’t forgiven me yet but staying here will not help the issue. I need to go back to convince them,” Scott said in such a stuttering manner.
“Scott I see that you have completely lost all your senses once again. Why would you be so foolish yet again? How many times do you plan on going back there or is it because of…well…you know who” I smirked and raised an eyebrow.
“Oh please don’t give me that look” my smirk became even bigger as I continued talking.
“You miss her right?” I walked up to him as he hung his head low, he couldn’t even bring himself to look at me.
