Part two

LOVE??? Megha said. 

Rakesh quickly cut the call. Megha had a question mark on her face, which Rakesh noticed, but neither could say a single word. They sat down for some time. 

After 5 minutes, Megha said, "Get out of my house, Rakesh". Rakesh said, "Megha, let me explain this situation to you at least once.

Megha responded, "Explain? What? That, how you cheated on me? That, how you played with my loyalty? That, how this relationship was precious to me, and you shattered it with no emotions or respect towards me and the relationship? 

Rakesh could not say anything. He knew he had lost his chance of explaining anything to her. His silence was irritating Megha more. Megha had lost it. She had multiple thoughts running through her mind constantly. 

Rakesh somehow asked Megha to calm down. He said, "Please, Megha. Listen to me. If we are ending this, you deserve a closure from my end. I want to end this on a good note. I want to respect what we had. I want you to understand what exactly happened. I don't want to leave you hanging. 

He started his story:

This started 5 years ago when I started these finance classes online. I was interested in stock markets and wanted to have a course so that I could help many people. We have a business already, and I wanted this to be an added advantage to our business. 

Richa was my batchmate. You know I have a habit of waking up late. Richa is a bright girl. So most of the boys and girls from our batch would take her help in studies. Similarly, I had to take it because I would miss the. Richa is, by the way, from our own city, so it was very easy to become friends with her. Her wittiness and looks somehow drew me towards her. I did not even realise, and our small chats turned into calls, calls turned into video calls, and video calls turned into meetings. Richa gave me everything, her love, attention, and ......

And? Megha asked

We became physical. 

Megha's world shook. Now she cried. The tears that she held rolled down. She could not believe Rakesh. 

Rakesh???? Megha said. 

Rakesh continued:

Megha, I always wanted to get close to you, but you never let me. I wanted your attention, but you always had meetings and work. What about me, Megha? I was alone. I wanted you to be all mine. Your stupid job had all your attention. We have everything, Megha. Your stupid job was not required. Your job was just to keep me happy and maintain yourself to be the future Mrs. Rakesh. 

Your attitude and hard work were always something that irked me. 

Richa is hot, sexy, and everything that a man needs in bed. She adores me. She maintains herself, and most importantly, listens to me. Cheers for me. I have decided I DO NOT WANT TO MARRY YOU! I was pretending all this while to be in love with you, but I can no longer continue this, as I want to launch Richa in my life officially. 

Megha's world crashed down when she heard all this. Rakesh said, "Chalo, now I will leave. It was ok while it lasted. A decade, ufff!!! Pretended too long. Never mind. You're free now. Have fun". 

Wait, Megha said. 

Won't you listen to what I say on this? 

She continued: 

Physical with you? Probably Richa is one of those who is not rich by birth and prefers money over heart. I am not like her. I am a girl of values. Without marriage, a Hindu girl cannot keep sleeping with the men she meets in her life. I wanted surety from your side that you will be there. You want to marry me. Where were you when I lost Dad? Oh, what am I even asking? You were busy in someone's bed. 

I prefer being self-made rather than being a housewife and someone whose job is to keep a man happy in bed. Bed? Seriously? Love is something beyond physical intimacy, but a guy like you, who knows no hard work and just thinks about intimacy because he knows no other work and has zero attitude of earning, won't understand this. I thank my god today that he prevented us from meeting and getting physical. Because Rakesh, you would be the last man on this earth to get physical with. I still wouldn't have become physical with you. 

Why do you think I would listen to you when you are wrong? I am literate enough to understand what is right and wrong. And my parents never taught me to be a bad person. I am rich by birth, Rakesh, yet I decided to do something of my own, not because I have no money, but because I wanted to know what hard work is. I am grateful to my father, who let me do what I wanted to, and my mother for letting me choose to earn. But look at you. You couldn't even help you father in the business. A person like you don't deserve an honest, hard-working and self-made woman like me. 

I still cannot believe that I was in love with a shameless guy like you who thinks that love is just physical intimacy. Do you know what emotional intimacy is? I am surprised at myself that what the hell on earth made me fall in love with a guy like you? You have no looks, which is a given fact, but you don't even have a good heart, Rakesh. 

I am thankful to my god that he prevented me from marrying you. This is a blessing. This is the most wonderful gift you gave me, Rakesh. Thank you. 

I pity you, Rakesh. Because you got a woman who just loves your money. Oops! Your father's money. Good luck with your Richa. 

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE. I DECLARE YOU AS MY EX AND PROMISE YOU TO UNLOVE YOU FROM NOW ON. YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. 

_________________________________________________________________

Megha never saw Rakesh after this date. Today, she is happily married, and by the way, she married the most handsome man who is a self-made and has a very good heart. He respects her and, most importantly, loves her. Yes, it was an arranged marriage.

Megha's story teaches us that sometimes it's better to unlove a person who is dearest to you, but troubles you. It is important to recognise who really deserves your love. My dear, your love is a precious gem that you hold. Give it to someone who truly values it. Love is not a compulsion. 

Megha had gotten a sense that something was not right a few years back. It would have been better if she had made the right decision back then. 

As predicted by Megha, Rakesh's Richa is no more with him. She found a much richer guy. 

Rakesh is regretting, but has no courage to accept it. 

I hope you liked our story. Thanks!
