Page 224 - The World's Best Boyfriend

you’re talking about?’
‘Didn’t you just say he was the worst boyfriend in the world? So obviously
you deserve better!’

‘But it’s still hard not to love him like life itself. I’m sure it’s hard for you to
understand that. You have never been in love, have you?’
‘Why are you making it sound like it’s a crime?’

Ritika shrugged. ‘Of course it’s not.’
Ritika’s smiles were now irritating her and Aranya wanted to leave. ‘Look,
Ritika. All I’m saying is you deserve someone better. Why do you want to

change someone you fell in love with in the first place? Which just means you
fell in love with the idea of falling in love with him. You fell in love with what
you thought you would eventually change him into. Of the little time I have

spent with Dhruv, he’s the meanest fucking bastard and he’s never going to
change. If you keep expecting him to change and be in this relationship and toe
your line, it’s not going to happen. And if you don’t know that you can’t claim to

be in love with him. Stick by your decision of having broken up with him.’
‘I don’t think I’m that strong.’
‘Of course, you aren’t. Because it’s Dhruv and he can make you feel

immensely loved, even if it’s for a fleeting moment,’ said Aranya and stormed
off. She had meant to be sarcastic in that last sentence but she wasn’t so, not in
the least bit, not at all.

The conversation with Ritika filled her with rage. Ritika didn’t know the first
thing about Dhruv. What she really wanted to say was ‘He doesn’t deserve you.’
But she had yet to find out what Dhruv deserved and why he deserved anyone at

all.
She had just managed to knock her conflicting feelings for that bastard Dhruv
out of her head when Ritika came into her room and said, ‘You’re right. I need

to stick by my decision. Dhruv and I aren’t meant to be.’
Aranya found herself smiling after she left.
