Enough is enough

"Riya's point of view,"

"Rachit, wallowing in self-pity, will not get you anywhere. Instead, talk to Shilpi about your shortcomings and resolve to rebuild your relationship." I couldn't see him cry in front of my eyes. I've always wanted him to be held accountable for his errors, but I never imagined Rachit's punishment would be so severe. Four years ago, my child died and I am completely heartbroken. Rachit had thought his child would be with me. I understand how it feels when someone's hope is suddenly dashed.

"I don't want to return to Shilpi.

Riya,You are my first love and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He said this while taking my hand in his.

"No, I cannot do so." I replied, loosening my grip on my hand.

"But why? Don't you want to spend the rest of your life with me? Were you not thinking of marrying me?

At whatever cost, Riya, I want to make you mine." He forcefully grasped my hand once more.

"No, insisting on having everything is a bad idea." I was attempting to get my hand out of his grip, but he was gripping it tighter and tighter.

"What exactly are you doing? Leave my hand, Rachit. I'm in pain." I was wailing in agony.

"What about the misery you're inflicting on me right now?" He inquired, closing the gap between us.

"What harm do I cause you?" I inquired, surprised by his response.

"Aren't you punishing me for being separate from you?" My cheek was being stung by his hot breath.

"No, you separated yourself from me four years ago, and now it doesn't matter to you whether I'm present." To keep my body away from him, I began slipping towards the bench.

"Why are you fleeing from me, Riya?" He inquired as he approached me.

"Rachit, keep your distance from me." I was terrified to see him get so close to me.

"Why don't you accept the reality that even now, when you go close to me, your body gets goosebumps?"

"I told you to get out of my way."

"What if I didn't move?" He gave me another challenging glance.

"Don't act like a child and keep arguing with me. How severe is the weather? I believe we should return." Seeing the thunder in the sky, I said.

"Riya, please give me a chance." In front of me, he was still begging.

"I've told you I don't love you, so why are you bothering me by repeatedly repeating the same question?" I got the impression from his state that it devastated him to have lost his child. I understand his anguish and wish to express my sympathies. But if he continues to approach me in this manner, I believe I will have to show him my strict form. The sight he's never seen before, the sight that my staff occasionally see and then run away from.

"The first time we drew close, the weather was the same. Do you remember our passionate kiss?" He said this while lying face-to-face with me.

How can I forget that kiss? Because it brought all of my unfulfilled desires to the surface. I lost my Harsh for good because of that tremendous love.

"You've reached your breaking point." I screamed at him. However, upon seeing him, my warning had not affected him.

He was on the verge of grabbing my lips with his. His hot breath and the scent emanating from his body temporarily intoxicated me. What will I do now? I pushed him with all my power as soon as I opened my eyes. My heart was racing like a horse in a race. I had to take deep inhalations and exhalations to normalize my heavy breathing.

"Riya, what have you been waiting for all these years if you don't love me?" Because I pushed him, he was shivering with rage.

"I've told you before, and I'll tell you again now, that I don't love you; you were my sole attraction. I just like Harsh and will continue to like him. Rachit Khurana, you have caused me to lose everything in my life. You now expect me to return to your life. As a result, it will never happen." I'm annoyed by his antics, and all I can think about is how angry I am.

"Which Harsh do you mean, the one who left you and married someone else?" He still has the guts to challenge me.

"Who are you to question me about, Harsh? You don't have the authority to intrude into my personal affairs."

"I'll get involved in everything you do since you're just mine, and if you try to engage with someone else, I won't let you." I got the impression from his statements that it was just another mental case.

Should I go into the hospital and make Rachit's psychiatrist appointment? Rachit may have gone insane because of the trauma.

"Go to hell, you scumbag! I don't want to waste my time and energy talking to a lunatic like you."

"Riya, you can't abandon me like this. You've learned about my flaw; are you unwilling to accept me because of it?" My steps came to a halt at their place after listening to him.

How did he think of such dreadful things? He doesn't seem embarrassed at all when speaking in this manner.

"You can treat your brain by visiting a qualified doctor." I replied and began walking towards my car.

"If you don't believe me, Riya, you may do my test right now to see if I still have the same stamina I used to have."

Enough is enough at this point. My patience's dam has now been breached. I don't know how long I've put up with this man's foolishness, but as long as I preserve my dignity, I will hear his rubbish from me.

I took a step back towards him and slapped him across the face before he could say anything.

It flushed His cheeks with rage as he said, "Riya, You..."

Looking into his eyes, he was about to kill me.

"Do you enjoy having your endurance tested by others?" I said.

"Before you said anything else, assess my stamina today," I slapped his other face hard.

"You've gone too far, Riya."

I held his hand in the air as soon as he raised his hand to slap me.

"Rachit, don't even consider doing this by mistake." I cautioned him.

"What would you do otherwise?"He inquired, his hand attempting to free itself from my grip.

"I don't need to tell you what I'll do or what I can do, so don't talk to me like this again, or I won't be one of those who thunder. I'll show you what I'm capable of.

Knowing about you, I felt sad for you, but now when I see your situation, I feel horrible for you." it filled my eye with disgust when I look at him.

"You can never truly belong to anyone. If you still believe you should be punished more severely for your actions, continue to do so. Otherwise, if you repent of your errors, your future existence can be peaceful." I pushed his hand away and, without wasting another second, started my car and drove to my hotel.
