Chapter 3

Ria’s pov

It’s almost 8 in the evening , still my roommate hasn’t come yet. I have been in my room since the moment I stepped in here.

A knock came to my door, “ Ria, it’s me Cassie , I would be highly obliged if you could please join our party and it’s about to start from 9:30 pm , please consider my request” , I was greeted by Cassie.

“Babe , I have let Cassie know about us and everyone is waiting for us , yes I was so over excited that I have announced to everyone that you are joining this university , please come with me , please , I know you are not that party freak person, however only juices will work for you, I assure you”, here comes my over acting boyfriend Arsh

“Have you ever contacted me about my journey from India here , or at least dropped a message whether I got settled or not?? I was so annoyed by him that I could no longer hold myself.

“Please don’t act like you care for me and I have got classes tomorrow so please leave Arsh , about you Cassie I will join you some other time later” , there was a huge silence after what I said , both of them were dumb founded .

“I hope we can have fun later” , Cassie left with a sigh.

“I was really busy in the preparation of the surprise and eventually I forgot to ask you”, he uttered

“Seriously don’t say this to me , I got to know from Rihaan that you were there with your friends partying since yesterday and drunk” , I said with a stern look

I could guess that he has no answer to it because my brother knows him through a common friend and when Rihaan asked that common friend where Arsh was he knew that he had been partying without even a care. And that was the moment I realised that he doesn’t care about me , it is just a namesake relationship.

We met 3 years ago and after knowing each other we fell in love and started dating and at the beginning he used to be so full of love and care. One year later he left for college and since then he hasn’t been the same one .

However, no matter what I understood about his situation, he needs time to settle in a new country and get used to everything .

Is it always me who should understand? I questioned myself .

Hardly he did phone calls or texted me and never asked for my whereabouts . When I showed concern for him he became so annoyed. As if I don’t belong to him. Still, I think I love him, that's why I can’t leave him.

He just left by saying “ sorry” , I have no idea why he was like this. If he loved someone else I would have left him and for his sake of happiness I would do anything that made him happy.

It’s just that he is continuously hurting me and I’m controlling my heart with a smile .
