Eva’s POVLast night was a truly tough one for me. I happened to walk into the kitchen and saw Mark and Mom hugging each other intimately, and I didn't know how to react. I was so stunned that I couldn't even bring myself to say anything, so I just plastered a fake smile, on my face, walked back to my room, and shut the door. As soon as I was alone, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. It's just so hard seeing something like that and feeling like I have nowhere to turn. And before I know it, I'm verge of tears.Yes, it might seem silly for me to be crying right now, especially since everything was crystal clear from the start. From the moment I met Mark, to when we made our deal, to when I fell for him, and ultimately when the deal came to an end - it was all clear for both of us. However, it's natural to feel emotional when dealing with matters of the heart, especially when you've invested a lot of time and energy into it. It's hurt you badly.Now, I can admit that my forecast
Eva's POVAs I walked through the corridor, My eyes roamed outside through a window, and I found Mark's car parked just in front of the main door, and he was standing outside.Gosh! Why did he come here? Is he wanted to talk with me? But why? There is nothing left for us. My love is one-sided, and our deal is finally over. He should behave just like before after Mom comes. Then why is he trying so hard to talk to me alone while I'm ignoring him? Should I talk to him for the last time and make everything clear? I was in mid thoughts when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, and the next moment, Nish's voice came to make me realize she was still beside me.Oh no, I can't believe I forgot she was with me. I hope she didn't catch me staring at Mark."Hey, what are you looking at so seriously?" She questioned while her eyes moved to see outside. However, she did not know about Mark. Therefore, there is no way she notices me looking at him.Realizing that, I felt relief and turned to her
Eva’s POVNish’s Home“Eva, are you serious right now? How could you sleep with your Mom’s man?” Nish looked at me with a deep frown, which made me break into tears at last, feeling guilty and wrong, “I know; I made a huge mistake and, more importantly, made an insane deal with him.” I covered my face with my palm feeling hurt and pain.“Eva…” She hugged me suddenly, which made me stunned. “I don’t get angry with you. But I’m worried. What will you do now? When do you fall in love with him? Can you see him with your Mom? Can you hide your feelings your whole life when the person is staying in your own house? Can you do that, Eva?” I shake my head in denial, “It’s hard, Nish. I truly love him, but it was one-sided. And most importantly, even if it’s mutual, I don’t think I got the courage to hurt my Mom.” “You should think about that when you take a first step. Why did you do that?” She asked, and I suddenly realized when it was truly starting, “Nish, It’s because of me. I’m the one
Mark's POVThe college was very close to closing its doors. But, on the other hand, I do not see Eva emerging from that location.When I realized that I had wasted my time by staying here, my brows twisted with deep sense, and at last, I decided to go inside.Nearly all the students were gone; I could guess she was also gone. Despite my better judgment, I approached the watchman and asked him one last time for any information he had."Excuse me," I say to the watchman, who is ready to lock the college iron door."Yes." He looked at my side."Are all the students left? I mean..." "By any chance, is there any student left inside?" My question got his attention, and he politely answered, "Sir, everyone left already, even the teacher. This is college closing time.""I see. Thank you." I nodded and left him with his work.I walked to the car and hit the glass with my fist in anger, saying, "Damn it! She left without letting me notice."All my veins popped out in anger and frustration. Th
Eva's POVNish's House"Thank you, Nish, for helping me out." I decided to stay at Nish's house for tonight and get my mind clear alone. "It's alright, Babe. You did right to choose to stay here. You can stay as much as you want. Anyway, my parents are on a trip, and I am staying alone for now. So we both could give company to each other. I smiled at her words, and at last, we spent half the night talking where. I told her about Mark and my calculation, and she gave me some random suggestions to help me out with a decision. After she fell asleep, I walked to the room window and looked at the moon with a deep sigh. I hope I can manage to do what I think. The next day"Are you ready to go college?" Nish smiled."Yup, Let's go." I smiled back."You look better from yesterday." She chuckled."It's all because of you." My words made her smile warm."Aww! I'm glad I was helped." She responded, and I nodded, "You did great help. Now, I can think better because of you." "Let's go college
Eva’s POVIt was dinner time. Mark is already home. At first, he looked a little surprised to see me home, but it was just momentarily before his eyes turned dull and his expression colder. He almost ignored me the whole dinner time and talked to Mom casually about his office day. I felt invisible in that situation. I was not a necessary part of there and was just there as an extra.I was worried about seeing this, and now, watching them both smiling and talking, forgetting about me. I felt upset and could not concentrate any longer on eating. “Mom, I’m done with eating. I’m going back to my room.” I stand from my seat. “But sweetie, you almost did not touch your food. Are you feeling unwell anyway?” She looked at me worried, but I noticed Mark from the corner eyes; he just continued eating without raising his head at all. He all focused on his food. I felt annoyed, ‘No, Mom, I had pizza with Nish before returning. Sorry not to tell you.” “It’s okay. If that’s the case, you can go
Eva's Point of ViewIt's been a few days, and Mark still gives me the cold shoulder. He pretended to smile in front of Mom, but in truth, he really didn't want to sit or chat with me, and instead of feeling relieved, I became even more sad. But I don't have the right to feel that way. 'Knock!''Knock!"Are you still studying?" When I heard the pounding, I turned around to see Mom standing there, all smiles."No, Mom," I say, "it's just a revision." I said as she stepped inside and tapped my shoulder, "Got it. But don't work too hard." I nodded in response and immediately observed her party outfit."Mom, are you going somewhere?" "So, you've finally noticed I'm dressed up?" She giggled briefly before continuing, "Yes, I'm going on a date with Mark.""D-Date?" My voice was trembling from astonishment. Hearing that, as far as I can tell, they are really planning their future together. Now I understand why he is no longer interested in me. Because he has already discussed his future
Eva's POVMIDNIGHTI don't know when I fall asleep thinking about Mark and Mom, but when I sense someone's breathing above me, I cannot help but open my eyes uneasily. However, what I did not expect was that Mark was the one above me. Suddenly his presence made me so shocked that I almost stopped breathing. My lips were tightly sealed while my eyes uncertainly stared at him. I wanted to ask what he is doing here. Why is he not with Mom? Is he left her alone? Thinking the last thing, my brows twisted with a frown, and I finally opened my mouth to ask, "What are you doing here?" The question came out of my mouth before I could stop it. I hoped it didn't sound too accusatory, but I couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.I used my arm to push him, but he did not fudge from his spot and looked at me with a straight face before answering me in a cold voice, "She got urgent work and left the dinner." "What?" My eyes winded as I tried to get up from bed, and he finally moved from me.
