Prologue

"Why didn't you finish it off?" asked Dafne looking at the waves.

"We were in a crowded place, and I did not want Rabia to know!" I answered.

"OK, I guess we can solve that!" she replied. "I don't want to talk to him again," I sighed, knowing perfectly that no matter what I needed to talk it out with him to end this Chapter.

" You still love him don't you?" asked Dafne.

" Love is not everything. I might love him, but some things are more important than that!" I replied. Dafne remained silent and allowed me to continue.

"Trust and respect Dafne, if those are missing in a relationship then what's the use? He cheated on me with Rania, though he was forced into it, I forgave him. I was hurt, but I did not judge him. I gave him space to think. And him? What did he do? When I asked him to come so we could clear the misunderstanding between us, he instantly assumed that I was with Aaditya. He called me characterless and accused me of cheating on him without even asking me what was going on," I explained.
