Looking at Parul’s downcast face, I chose my next words carefully.
"Parul, you have been so lost in your self-empathy, in your self-delusion as a re spectator that you blindly believe what you are seeing."
"Have you ever thought that things might not be as good between Asuna and as they seed to your eyes?"
"Things might seem good on the surface but deep down the damage is long done and we have started drifting apart..."
"....further apart!"
There was an intentional pause before I completed my words.
My face was a mixture of grief and suffering, as if I were narrating a sorrowful ordeal.
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"You and Rainaziel seed to be such a perfect couple, how can you say all this?"
Parul’s voice staggered as my sentences caught her off guard.
The surprise was so sudden that she almost lost her balance.
"Haha!"
I let out a wailing laugh.
"I also thought that I should be a happy person that I was able to date a beautiful girl like Asuna, but..."
"Alas!"
"Asuna said that we are not suited for each other and it’s better if we separate."
"She told that in order to avoid causing a scene, it’s better if we appear alienated for the timing and in future when people will question, we can simply answer that we amicably separated."
-As I spoke, my head was low, like I lost a big war.
The disappointnt was enough to arouse natural sympathy.
Even I doubted- How could I be such a natural actor?
Parul looked at for so good seconds, still spellbound by the shocking news.
"No....No, how can she say that!"
"I will intercede for you, with my support all the misunderstandings between you will definitely be over."
Parul tried to give a sense of surety.
"Don’t!"
"Maybe I have so shortcomings that I am unaware of."
"If you intercede for that will make look petty."
"Moreover, it’s between and Asuna and ."
"You should stay away from it."
"Maybe ti will nd everything."
Like a heartbroken person, I put my hands on my chest as if in so serious hidden pain.
"But you are my friend, I have to help you."
"No, I must help you."
Parul hurriedly interjected.
"Don’t!"
"If you ever considered as your friend and respect then you should never do this, don’t speak for in front of Asuna."
"Otherwise, we will have to end this friendship between us."
My expressions were as deep as the ocean, full of longing and uncalled for its calmness.
"But why?"
Parul, who readily believed whatever I fed her, asked naturally.
It was ti to hit a checkpoint.
"Because I don’t want to appear pitiful."
The voice was loud as if announcing so rude anarchy.
My eyes were almost blurred with fakeness trying to deceive Parul like I was a sufferer in this mutual emotion called love.
"So promise , you won’t interfere with Asuna and ."
"Just watch it as a bystander, whatever will happen, will happen for good!"
In the end, I started closing the gaps to lay the groundwork for a new strategy.
Hearing my sobbing words, Parul was taken aback.
Clenching her fists hard, her tongue and toes twirled hard, and her mind was in a constant struggle.
Lifting her head, she t my tearful eyes, in the end, she gave a deep sigh.
"Fine!"
"I won’t interfere."
"I won’t interfere even if Rainaziel ruthlessly abandoned you."
Parul finally gave the assurance I was looking for.
It is said a man must not shed his tears, but if he does then the task must be completed.
"So you now understand why I can’t help you in the way you want?"
I spoke slowly.
"Like you, I am also soone defeated in love."
I clearly portrayed myself as a victim who was shalessly abandoned by Asuna because of trivial reasons
As a victim, I had gained a tactical advantage.
It was about ti.
"But..."
".....as a friend of yours, if I can’t help you in this ti of need then it will be a sha for ."
I once again pointed her head towards the imdiate problem for which she ca to .
Hearing my ssage, Parul’s rationality returned and she hurriedly rembered the aim of inviting to the rooftop.
It was to discuss the counterasures regarding the follow-ups after breaking up with Leo, but my breakup story with Asuna caught her into a ss.
"No, Elandor.....you are already hurt, it will be wrong for to take more of your ti."
"You are yourself trying to cope with a broken heart, it will be such a pain for you to help at this mont."
Parul hastily shook her hands in the air trying to reduce any further help from .
But how could things be over so easily?
After ticulously telling her about my and Asuna’s breakup, it was ti to turn her into a potential tool person.
Otherwise, I would be a fool for talking so much with her.
The only reason I told her such a fake sobbing story of a breakup with Asuna was to make sure she didn’t feel any kind of moral guilt when I put forward the prospect of trying to date .
"Parul, we are both at such a low point in life."
"I thought Asuna was the one for ."
"And you thought Leo was the one for you."
"Sighs! We both were wrong. We both were kind of dumped so we are sort of kindred spirits."
My words arouse a sense of familiarity in Parul’s agitated heart.
After all, if well water didn’t mix with well water will it mix with sea water?
Parul subconsciously nodded, agreeing to my words inwardly.
"So I was thinking why not spend so ti together?"
"Just a ans to escape, think of it as a distraction to get over our failed relationships."
I humbly made my request.
"You know like you, I am also afraid that after such a ruthless breakup, I will fall into depression and be unable to focus on my life clearly."
"So I was thinking of going to so nearby places to get my mind off this stress, now that you are in a similar situation, why not join ?"
"At least when we are together, we can naturally look after each other as good friends."
My invitation was polite, full of respect, giving ample space to Parul.
The request was neither forceful nor seed to contain any hidden intent filled with lust or mischief towards her.
Parul stared directly into my eyes and pondered for a while.
Actually, her feelings towards Leo were not so deep, she was with him only because she was afraid to be lonely.
She always kept her distance from Leo, but hearing Elandor’s heartfelt words, she too felt that she invested too much in a scum like Leo, she was angry at herself for trusting such a scumbag like Leo.
Moreover, she was even more angry at her good friend Rainaziel for letting go of such an excellent and caring guy like Elandor.
You know the entire social dia is buzzing with his crazy singing skills, girls online are screaming to sleep with him and Rainaziel just let him go like this?
The more Parul thought, the more she felt I was right.
Because of my carefully chosen words, she felt that perhaps following to spend so ti to get away from this damn world might make her mind at ease.
Yes, if this small escape can help her forget about Leo then why not?
"Hmm, okay!"
"You are correct, but where should we go?"
"Do we need to take so days off from school?"
Once she made a decision, Parul didn’t blush at asking about further details.
In her eyes, she was just going out with a friend.
Hearing her reply, I was full of smiles.
As expected, the won with big breasts are low in thinking cleverly and are gullible.
But madam, why take a day off from school?
You know I recently signed up for a newspaper delivery part-ti job.
With two easy part-ti jobs, one before school and one after, my inco was stable as hell.
All we need to do is trigger my system to date you and spend so ti in the late evening and we can reap handso rewards, there is no need to be so exaggerated.
"You don’t have to worry, leave the things to ."
"I will look online and see if there are any recreational spots near us?"
I gave a wink.
"Now, co on!"
"It’s not good for a cute girl like you to have such a gloomy face."
"Brighten up!"
After speaking, I playfully flicked Parul’s forehead, who was standing so close to .
Before giving her any ti to react, I decisively turned around and left for the Maths class that was about to start.
