6 Can you love me again?

Laiba and I are in a relationship. We have been together for 3 months now. I am so into her that I barely have time for my friends. Since she's has plans on this weekend, I'm going to hang out with my friends as well. It's been a while now, we will watch a soccer match, play videogames and all. Just some random - guy stuff!

I don't ask her where she goes or whom she meets. It's not my business to stick my nose into! I let her be. Whenever she feels like going somewhere, I just simply greet her.

But that doesn't seem to work the other way around. I'm questioned on every single move I make. At times I wonder what would happen if I were to ask for permission to live! Ironically, I'm doing just that.

I don't go around having parties with my friends, not that I'm allowed. But, I understand her insecurity. She's a bit shy and conservative at first and takes time to open up to people. She's a blast if you are lucky enough to get to know her.

I'm pretty outgoing, therefore people know me. Not that I'm popular or something but I have had a past, full of girlfriends. I will get into a pickle if I were to start explaining every breakup story to her in my defence.

I met her via one of my ex-crush. They were in same class last semester. I don't know how but gradually we became close and things turned out this way.

I'm excited for the weekend because she is going to a school reunion and I'll have plenty of time to myself. It's gonna be fun and hopefully she'll also come back in good mood.

It's Sunday! She's getting ready while I'm preparing a project report while waiting for my turn to the bathroom. She seems happy today. I agree though, school memories can bring joy in a matter of minutes.

She looks stunning and I can't get enough of her, so much that I don't want her to leave today. In the end, she leaves in a cab.

I get ready and leave for my friend's place. We played a lot of videogames, ordered snacks and drinks.

It was around 7 p.m. when I first received her call but I missed it. I didn't miss it on purpose but it was simply because I was playing games with headphones on. Around 9 p.m. when I grabbed my phone, I saw 13 missed calls from Laiba.

My heart sank as and I got really worried. There was no trace of her, she didn't even text. I'm at fault, I left to look for her. She hasn't come back to our apartment yet. I don't know the venue or any of her friends from school. I tried to look for traces on social media accounts, but nothing!

I had no choice but to call her. I also dropped her a few texts explaining and apologising for my situation. I couldn't sleep until she came back around 1 a.m.

I was extremely worried and asked for her whereabouts from the evening. She got offended and locked herself up in a room to get some sleep. Apparently she was tired because of the hectic day. This is the only conclusion I could come up with.

I let her be and sleep in the living room. The next morning she prepared breakfast before waking me up and apologising. I gave her a hug and smiled brightly. Afterwards, I apologized and explained again to her.

She said she will forgive me on one condition. I gave her my word to comply. She had plans up her sleeves.

'Let's breakup! You breakup with me.' she said.

I was stunned and couldn't utter a single words. Tears started forming in my eyes. You might think what kind of guy would cry in a situation like this but I'm just being honest here. I was taken aback, completely shocked as I didn't even imagine something like this would be her condition.

'Don't reason with me and don't ask questions. I need you to do this for me.' I nodded and left the room because I didn't wanted to appear crying in front of her.

Even after two months, I can't understand why we broke up until yesterday when I got to know about her new boyfriend who is also her high school sweetheart. Turns out she was the real game and I got played.

She wanted me to chase after her and put up a show in front of her ex-boyfriend who recently came back in the town.

Now that I think about it, I was just somebody who was sharing rent and utility bills with her, more like a caretaker. She never once loved or liked me.

Her unpredictability was what I liked about her. She really was unpredictable until the very end.
