"Have you ever tasted betrayal?", he was curious.
Her glowing face suddenly turned pale. She grabbed his cigarette, took couple of slow puffs and turned to him.
"I'm not too sure whether betrayal can sum up my whole experience. May be yes. But all I can tell you is, I was hurt a hundred times, and possibly that has made me emotionally numb." she paused.
"We could've avoided this conversation. Brings back many forbidden memories." she exclaimed.
"Oh! I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
"No. Its absolutely okay. If you hadn't asked me this today, I'd have probably found it difficult to give you my answer for what you asked me the other day."
"Means?" he didn't want to hear what he feared would have followed.
"There's no room for romance in my life. Simple as that."
He was shocked. He never saw this coming.
"Never wanted to hurt you, neither did I want to give you false hopes"
But he didn't respond. He knew the taste of betrayal too and how hurt feels like. He remained silent; couple of smokes down he decided to wait, until she feels what he feels.
They didn't talk later that day and both went back to their rooms. He left with a piece of hope and she, with guilt for rejecting the one she loved.
Hurt, betrayal and the fear to face them all repeating all over again can make people irrational.
