Part 12

                                    

                                              
Important Note :- From here onwards, all the chapters will deal with present happenings. So, please don't get confused. And another important thing is most of the parts will be in Kate's pov so I will not mention it at the starting of every chapter and when I will do a part in someone else's pov, I will mention it at the beginning of that chapter or paragraph so that no one gets confused. Hope you all don't have any doubt and if you still have any, you are always welcome to ask me.
I won't take anymore of your time ... lol :P
                          
Present :-
                          
Bright sun rays entered into my bedroom, through the delicate fabric of the curtains, forcing me to finally open my eyes. Sundays were meant to be lazy, relaxing and fun.
                          
Seven years has passed since his marriage. Time flew by like a handful of sand. So much has changed in these past years and yet, so many things have remained the same.
                          
These years have been a new journey to me, transforming me into the woman I am today. These years made me stronger, self-reliant, confident and a successful person. It made me see life in a different light. 
                          
These years have given me countless memories, experiences and made me deal with all sort of emotions.
                          
I don't ever regret my decision of running away for a new start because that was something I really needed and I am proud of that. 
                          
The hurt made me focus on my studies, my career because books were my only solace. The only time I won't be thinking about him was while I was reading, so most of my time was spent studying. 
                          
Nothing held meaning any longer, life felt dull without him and I was still struggling to accept the reality that he would always be a forbidden dream to me. 
                          
I remained lost in my own world for the first year before I started getting back to my normal self, before I started moving forward. 
                          
First year in Los Angeles was hell. It was all about books and memories of Daniel. I was afraid to go to parties because I knew what happened on his marriage day will surely repeat ... I won't be able to stop myself from getting drunk and having a one night stand. And I didn't want that. I was not yet ready to handle that. So, first year passed with me remaining confined in my room, with my books, having no sense of time and surrounding.
                          
I had pledged before leaving that I would get a hold of myself before I completely lost control and here I was standing today and I was proud and happy to say, well off. So, In a way I could say my heartbreak helped me mould my career.
                          
Pushing myself up from my cozy bed, I staggered my way to the washroom. After one hour of bathing, I was finally fully awake.
                          
I made my way to closet and pulled out a pair of ripped denims and an off-shoulder top. Afterwards I blow dried my hair and applied lipstick and a coat of eyeliner.
                          
Looking at the clock, it showed 12:00 pm and I knew I needed to hurry up.
                          
It was sunday today and I had promised my bestie that I will be meeting her at the central mall at 1 pm sharp. 
                          
Bethany Parker has been my best friend since I joined Khuranna Constructions, which is two years. She is the only one who knows about Daniel and my unrequited love for him.
                          
He is in his happy space and I lost all the hope of ever being with him the day he got married. I have seen the love for her in his eyes, which was never there for me. We were friends and thats what we would always be. There was never a scope for anything more than that between us.
                          
Before I start reminiscing about my past, I fetched my clutch, locked my apartment and made my way to the car.
