Thanks guys...this will end soon! :)
"When?" Ananya asked, her heart thrashing witlessly.
"Tonight..." answered Sahil in an emotionless voice while stirring his coffee.
Ananya felt dead. She congealed. Her jaw locked and she struggled to say something, or least react to the information that the man sitting in front of her just noshed her with. But then again, they had to do it. He had to do it. If he didn't do it, there was no other way that could lead her to happiness. She had always wanted to be with Sahil and her sister had always proved to nothing more than a measly perforating thorn in her way.
She took a deep breath to stable herself and then spoke slowly, her voice drenched in fear. "How?"
Sahil, who till now was playing with his coffee, shot her a look. His eyes encompassed detestation. And the revulsion was more profound than Ananya had ever observed before. It was apparent that the wrong guy was battered. He was not the one who could be wounded. If someone did harm him, then Sahil was sure to take his share of retribution from him.
"You don't need to know that..." Sahil gritted his teeth.
Ananya sighed and rolled her eyes. "What do you think you are Sahil? Please try to understand me! I mean, what if you get caught? What will happen?"
"I told you that we will talk till my coffee gets over..." Sahil's eyes bore into hers. He picked up his cup and downed the remaining liquid in a single go. "...my coffee is over and so is our conversation."
With that he rose up and started to walk out.
"Do you love me Sahil?" Ananya asked, uncontrollably. She was weeping and had clutched herself.
Sahil stopped in his trail.
He turned around and looked at her without missing a single beat. His expression didn't change, his eyelids didn't battle and in a blase voice he gave her his answer.
"No. I never did and never will."
