HELENA'S POV:

The man I loved all these years without any complaints, without any demands and expectations except for love was kneeling down in front of the person whom I thought was my best friend. The person upon whom I had trusted enough to leave my dad alone so that she'll be there if he needs her like a second daughter was here giving hugs and kisses and even more than that to the man I loved. I feel disgusted to even imagine both of them together behind my back.

As much as I tried to stand firm, my body was giving up. I tried to be strong but my body didn't have that courage anymore so I had to rest myself on the door to support myself. Due to my body's push, the door flew open and it's sound attracted their attention. I could see him getting up with his eyes widened in shock but that was nothing in front of the shock I got today. My best friend, oh no, let me correct myself. The woman whom I thought was my best friend was looking at me with an indifferent expression that didn't show guilt.

I was broken, I was shattered but a ray of strength inside me was not letting me break down in front of them. I had no more courage, all I wanted to do was to cry my heart out and ask them the reason for backstabbing me but my mind wanted me to be strong. I had an urge to know what made them do all this? I knew that everything is over now, I knew my trust has been broken and there's no point on standing in front of them but I wanted to know the reason.

Why? Why was I betrayed by the person I loved, why was my trust broken by the woman I trusted the most, why were my emotions not respected? These why's were haunting me and I needed answer for them at any cost.

"Heli, I can explain. It was nothing else than..." The woman with whom I've started feeling like a stranger was about to say something but I didn't want to hear her. I showed my hand indicating her to stop without moving my gaze away from Andrew. With every step I was taking towards him, I was feeling like I'm walking towards a stranger. When I was few inches apart from him, I took a deep breath so that I could speak without getting weak in front of him.

"Why?" My fingers were balled into fist, and my voice had turned hoarse. I couldn't stop shedding tears though I tried my best not to.

"Heli... I'm Sorry.. I had thought of telling you all this..."

"That you were cheating on my back with the woman who's supposed be my best friend?" I completed his sentence before he could.

"Heli don't take me wrong. I... I truly loved you once. But with the time moving ahead, I realized that I... I love Melissa. I..."

"Since when?" He looked at me confused.

"How long have you been cheating on me?" Only I know how hard it was to ask this question cause I knew, I knew the answer to this question would break everything inside me.

"I.. I got job in the same company as Mel's and then we started getting along cause we had to work together. Slowly, I fell in love with her."

"So it's been two years. When I was busy on making my career for us, dreaming about us, you were busy on cheating behind my back." I gave a small laugh saying that, I wanted to laugh on myself for being such a fool.

"Listen Heli.."

"It's Helena." I used to feel butterflies when he used to call me Heli but right now, I feel disgusted.

"Okay Helena. I know I shouldn't have hidden all this from you but I had no other option. Even I want to live my life, even I have some needs. Those needs that you've never taken care of." As he said that looking away from me, I felt as if someone has pushed me through a cliff.

"What do you mean? Say it clearly." I was getting what he wanted to tell through his words but I still wanted to hear every single words from his mouth. I wanted to see how he speaks those words from the same mouth with which he had told me, "I don't love you for your body. I love you for who you are."
