Dev's Diary

⁕ ⁕ ⁕

I felt at a loss for words, I couldn't express the blank emotion that I was feeling. I haven't been able to contact Charu for over a month now. Nor have I had the time to write down my day-to-day happenings. Charu blocked me everywhere, Instagram, Twitter, and even Facebook!

I'd called her today, and her voice had answered the phone. I'd just remembered her landline number, I was on cloud nine.

"Charu?" I whispered, and there was an extended silence.

"Dev?" Her voice had cracked, I wanted to let loose the emotions that I'd been controlling. Just hearing her voice again was enough.

"Unblock me," I demanded, I waited a few seconds before video calling her. Her face appeared on the screen, her eyes were sunken and tired.

"I miss you," I didn't even bother with the usual greetings, I was sick and tired of waiting for her to pick up my calls.

"I... I miss you... too..." Charu stuttered with my sudden confession.

"Then why aren't you by my side right now?" I blurted out, and she winced.

"It's for the better," She smiled weakly, I saw her about to cut the call.

"Charu, I love you." I pleaded.

"I love you too Dev, a lot." She smiled sadly before the call cut.

They say that men don't cry and that they can mask their emotions. That wasn't true, I was living proof. Slowly, my batting was being affected, Virat had tried talking to me. No use. Tears prickled in my eyes, and I sighed.

They say, that men don't cry.

They say that there's no such thing as love on first sight.

They say many things.

But I don't give a damn, the only thing I care about is, what they say about my Charu.

I decided that it was time to check the comments that she'd been getting on her social media.

"Ugh, she's not even pretty! Why's Dev even dating her?"

"I'll bet that she's a gold-digger,"

"She doesn't deserve Dev!"

"Dev's so cute and sweet, but look at this b$i@t"

I turned off, the phone unable to read anymore. I wanted to go and find wherever Charu was and envelope her in a massive hug and shower kisses on her. She'd tolerated this for so long, just for him. It was a stupid belief, I felt like every time I held her in my arms, I could keep her far away from the dangers of the world, and protect her from getting hurt.

I'm going to find her.
