The news that Chloe had dropped on me, just acted like a bomb, which had destroyed my all expectations and trust on Zach.

He had deceived me.I wiped my tears and made my way to his office.I wanted to hear all that from him.Deep down,my heart was still not ready to accept it.

I reached in front of his office door and wiped the stains of tears from my cheeks.

I opened the door and entered.His chair was empty.I looked around and no one was there.I fished my phone out and called him.

"Emily!",his chirpy voice came on a third ring.

"Where are you?", I asked him , my voice was filled with so many emotions that I couldn't even myself pinpoint any of them.

"I am in a meeting. Are you okay?",he asked with concern.

"I need to talk to you!", I tried my best not to sniff.

"I am coming",as he said that I cut off the line , not giving him a chance to question more.

I paced outside his office and prepared myself to face a bitter truth.

Soon, he came to me taking large steps.

"What happened? Are you okay?",he asked me as he saw my tears stained face.

He came closer to me and held my face up, making me to see in his eyes.

I looked at him and my heart leaped out to see worry in his eyes.For me? No, He was a great actor and I fell for him.

"Why you hide things from me Zach?", I stepped back to get out of his touch and looked straight into his eyes.

He frowned in confusion and a heavy wave of fear passed through his eyes.

He didn't said anything for a moment.

"Who told you?",he asked looking away from me.

"It doesn't matter who told me. You fucking tell me is it right?!", I shouted not caring the people around us.

Zach looked around and then at me. I was anxiously waiting for his answer. Please say No. please say No!

"Yes",he said looking everywhere except me.

A tear fell down my cheek."But let me explain Emily! Just-",I cut him mid sentence.

"Its not the problem that you did bad but the thing is I fucking trusted you. You supposed me to tell that.You kept me in dark Zach! I thought you loved me",I whispered the last line slowly.

"I love you Emily!",he said scolding me.

"No! Zach no! if you have loved me , you would have trusted me! ", I shouted. People around us stopped and looked our way with interest.

" Lets talk inside ", he said holding my hand lightly.

I freed my arm forcefully from him."There is nothing to talk about"

I turned around and a tear fell down my cheek.

" Emily! Emily! Listen to me ", I heard him calling me from behind but I exited the building,hiding among the people. Thanks for the lunch time.

I boarded a taxi to home. Constantly , tears were flowing down my cheeks like a waterfall.

Why would I trusted him? Today I got that love is blind.

Though,the news that he remained involved in drug dealing was a lethal hit but the most devastating thing was that he kept that from me when Chloe knew that.

I thought he didn't love Chloe. I was fooled by both of them.

The taxi driver parked in front of my house. I gave money and went in. Mom was not at home. maybe gone for shopping.

I used an extra key and went straight to my room upstairs, closing my bedroom door with a loud thud behind me.

As I was thinking more about , that happened today, the pain in my heart was getting intense.

It was like something inside me was constantly going through the process of breaking.

Suddenly, the ringing of my phone brought me back to the world.

I picked it up with my numb fingers and a saw the screen with blurry eyes. 'Zach'

Seeing his name on my phone screen, just acted as a fuel to fire. I grudgingly switched off my phone and throw it on the other end of the bed.

When I got tired by pouring my heart out , I slept. He didn't even leave me alone in my dreams. His evil smirk was haunting me and I jerked up from my sleep and again started 'my so called todays favourite activity ' weeping.

I heard opening of front door. Mom was here so I got ready of questioning because I could expect only that ,with my that much swollen eyes and running nose.

Slowly, my bedroom door opened. The room was fully dark just like me, my past, my present and my future.

"Emily?", Mom asked slowly trying to figure out my presence.

I lifted my head from my pillow and looked at her.

"Yeah", at the end a sniff escaped my mouth.

"Are you weeping?", She hurriedly switched on the lights and sat on my bed.

I got up and threw my head in her lap. I needed her desperately at that time.

She caressed my head."what happened?"

When I didn't answered and kept weeping,she started to guess.

"Zach did something?",she asked

I nodded my head and again started my wailing.

I told her all that happened from start and all the time she was listening carefully.

When she knew about his drug dealing stuff,she surely got a shock. She said nothing but her face was telling that.

"You should talk to him",she advised me.

Ugh. Was she really was my mom? I doubt that. She was always talking in favour of him.

"No. There is nothing to talk about mom!"

"Do you love him?",she asked carefully looking at my face.

"Yeah I love him!. I love him! Thats what pinching me", I said the last part slowly.

She hugged me and said " You want to lose him?!"

"No ,only if that was even in my control", A tear fell from my cheek, tickling all the way down.

"It is! It is in your control Emily! Go and talk to him! I am sure he would have something to say." Mom said

I pondered over her words and came to an conclusion that she was right. I didn't wanted to lose him. Was I ? The answer was simple. NEVER.

Why I was feeling that my mom had used her powerful weapon againt me. 'brain washing'

She really got that ability. But I accepted that she did good. That would surely make everything clear.I slept with a thought that I should talk to him tomorrow and I was praying that everything get better again.

I held my diamond ring tightly to my heart and slept with my jumbled thoughts and questions.
