*sofie*

I wanted to process what's going on around me. I wanted to mourn for my love for my broken heart. I needed some alone time.

I cant even blame others, it was all my doing. I fell for the wrong person. When I looked at Vicky all I could see was regret, pity and sorrow.

I know it wasn't easy for him to say that. What I didn't understand is why did he said that in front of every one? Why not when we were alone.

I had to control myself, I shouldn't show my weakness, I can wallow in my heart break when I am alone. This isn't the time for thst. But for now I should pretend.

I met Rahul's gaze, he knew. His expression told me he knew exactly what I'm feeling. He could see through me. He wanted to say something.

I begged him from my eyes not to. He understood, he sighed and nodded at last.

Our exchanged went unnoticed by Vicky. He was busy glaring at his parents. Mr.Verma had guilt written all over his face, but Mrs. Verma had no clue about all this.

"Why dad? Why?"

Vicky barked. I could see he was trying to control his rage. His eyes were dilated. I had never seen him like this before.

He was turning red, if he didn't calm himself he will do something which we all regret later.

His father flinched at his tone. Before he could reply Vicky continued.

"You played with all our feelings dad, how could you betray us like this, how could you do this to me. But dad answer me one thing why sofie? Why her? What wrong did she ever do to you? Please answer me before I do something I regret"

I wanted to go near him, hold him in my arms, wanted to calm him down. But I didn't know if I could do this, if I go anywhere near him I will breakdown.

I wont be able to handle my heart. I can't let him know how much I love him. Not now, not ever.

So I stayed where I was, but it was Vicky who rushed towards me, I was sitting on a sofa he kneeled in front of him, held my hands in his and just sat there.

I needed no words to understand he was apologizing for all this, for his parents who dragged me into this,

And he did something which I thought I  would never see, he cried. He kept his head in my lap and cried. It was like he was letting everything out. It wasn't just for me. It was for himself, for the past 5yrs of his life, for his lost love and for his parents betrayal.

"I forgave you for abandoning me when i needed you. But now I cant forgive you for this ever. You not only did hurt me, but you dragged sofie into this. You shouldn't have done that dad, .
Just tell me why?"

I tried to console him. Atleast I got his care and respect for loving him. With that I fell more for him. Its like his every action making me impossible to resist him.

We all waited Mr.Verma to reply.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know it will turn into this. When I heard about sofie from your mother , I knew she's the answer for all our problems. Please try to understand me Vicky. You are my older son, I couldn't see you in that state. True I was never there when you needed me.

That was because I wanted to give you, your mother and your siblings a comfortable life and good future. But that doesn't mean I didn't loved you.
I always kept tabs on you, I was so proud of you. Still I am.

Melanie was a good girl. But she wasn't brave enough to stand by you. And sofie is everything we needed .

We knew only she can bring you out of your darkness. Her pure soul, forgiving nature, pure heart is what made me selfish for you.

I'm sorry for deceiving sofie. She is like a daughter to me. But I'm not sorry for bringing her to our lives.

She is what we all need. And she needs us ."

Its true I needed them, their money, does that makes me same as melanie?.

No because here it wasn't me who choose money over family it's the other way around.

Yet I can't be mad at my family or at Vicky's family.

Every one were right at there own way. But what about me? My life? My heart? And my will?

No one asked me whether I wanted this life or not. They just simply dragged me like a puppet . They played their own cards with me.

But now it's time, I show them, I'm not the one to be pushed around. I should take a stand already.

"Alright!! Mr.verma i do treat you like a father but what you, Mrs.verma and my parents did was completely wrong. You people had no right to take the decision for me. It should have been my choice. You should have asked me, given me a choice. But no you all took matters in your own hands.

I'm glad for one thing, I never regret meeting you people. But i think its time I take my own decision. I'm leaving. I need time. I cant stay here any more.

I will miss you guys a lott. Maggie, Atul you are like my siblings which I never had.

Mr and Mrs. Verma I forgive you. One day I will return the money my parents have taken from you. And please don't ask me to stay.

RAHUL I am glad I met you. I'm happy to have a friend like you in my life. Someday I will come and meet you all. But that someday is not in near future.

Vicky, it would have been better if you had told me before, you shouldn't have dropped the bomb in front of every one. Thanks for everything. I'm leaving a part of me with you. Never forget me.

because there is a part of me which will belong to you. No matter if we were married or not.

I know you don't want me to leave you. But please understand this, I have to. You should move on with your life.

I know you still love melanie. You are searching for her. I know that. Be happy with her.

You should let me go. I cant take this anymore."

By the time I stopped speaking with Vicky, I was sobbing. It was so hard. I have to leave the one I'm in love with.

I should go on without seeing him, without hearing his voice, his laugh, without his teasing, without him its going to be hard, but i should do this.

Vicky hugged me tight.We both were crying. We both knew I had to go. But we will never forget each other. There is a part of Vicky, which will always belongs to me.

"Sofie, but there's one problem."

"What Rahul?"

"Remember, you promised Mr. Mehta that you will organise a charity gala for him. He wants it to be in 15 days.

Vicky is starting business with Mehta industries, we need this contract.

If they know you aren't married to Vicky, they might cancel our deal."

"No Rahul, we cant ask soppy to do this. Don't force her. It doesn't matter if we don't get the contract."

"Its ok Vicky. I Will stay and help till then. Will organise the gala but we will stay here till then. I cant go to that house . Please."

"Soppy, whatever you want will do that. "

So that's how we compromised....
