Surbhi's POV

I was sitting there numb frozen on my place.

Who says heart break in love are painful? Heart breaks in friendship are more.. Much much more painful and hurting.

Mahir told everything about his past.

How that girl could do anything like this !! Didn't she have a heart! How can he hurt a person who stood every time with her.  I swear if that girl would've been in front of me I would've killed her. 
 She didn't really think that what she has made out of a person. She has made a person full of emotions into a body... Just a body without soul. I had tears in my eyes. I was crying.. But Mahir. His eyes held much pain but he was not letting them escape his eyes.

"So now you know why I hate people. Why I don't believe in kindness.  Why I don't trust people. Why I've made myself like this.  Why I am rude and arrogant. Why I have developed a sort of hatred towards people and specially these girls. I said you naa you don't know these girls and believe me I've met only these type of girls except you" he said.

"I'm sorry.. I didn't understand you before " I whispered

" No Surbhi. Why are you saying sorry. It was my fate. You know I was a boy full of emotions. I loved every single thing. I used to believe in everything. That friendship band was given by my grandmother when she was about to die. She told me to give it to the most important person in my life. I.. I thought it to be Riddhima .  But I was so hell wrong. That band had all my memories and emotions with my grandmother and she burnt it in front of my eyes. I loved my guitar since I was 8 year old . It had each memory of mine in it. It was my soul. The guitar whose strings were connected to my heart. She tore that apart... And she didn't only tore the guitar apart she ripped my heart apart by smashing every inch of that guitar.
 You know whenever I was happy I used to play it.. Whenever I was sad I used to play it... But when my heart got away from me.. I was left with nothing. Since that day I left my soul away from me. I never played it again. She knew Surbhi what my guitar meant to me. And she was even ready to blame me , put me behind bars, ruining my dad's reputation! " he angirly spoke with a heavy voice.

I didn't know what to say. How much he suffered all these years and he never said anything to anyone.

"You know Surbhi we all always talk about heart break in love.  No one talk about heart break in friendship.  It hurts much more Surbhi. Everyday I burn from inside. Everyday I think that was I not worth a good friend. Was I only a toy , like she said to be used. I stayed silent.. I never told anyone this because I knew no one will take it seriously. May be for people it's not big deal..but this thing ate a part of my soul. I believed that I can't make friends.. I was broken. " He said and a tear escaped his eyes. 

He thought I didn't see it so he turned around and wiped that single tear.

" Mahir. " I whispered tapping on his shoulder

" Yeah. It's over" he replied turning towards me

"You can Cry Mahir. Express yourself " I said because I knew he had so much pain filled inside him for years now!

" Men don't cry . Everyone say. Because if they cry they'll be judged right " he replied with a fake smile

"Yeah. Every one say men don't cry. But I know you also have emotions...you also want someone to hug you and say that everything will be fine.You don't say anything to anyone and just bury it deep inside your heart,  but Mahir don't do this .I know men cry...and yes you can. Never feel lonely . You can cry. I'm there for you. You can scream it all in front of me...You can open your heart out,  I'll be there, I'll rub your back and say that don't worry..everything will be fine soon...And One last and most important thing...

I promise I Won't Ever Judge You. I promise never ever to judge you" I promised

And The next thing I knew...he hugged me tightly and cried.

Cried all his emotions out. Pain of years was coming out!!

"I'm not... I'm not a good friend right" he sobbed

"You are and will the bestest friend I've ever met" I whispered rubbing his shoulders.

I myself was crying silently.
I've never hugged anyone other so protectively the way today I was hugging Mahir.

I was happy that he cried. It was necessary for him to let his all emotions out.

"Now do you got the answers that why I didn't reply to your message " he said wiping his tears

" Because you were afraid that I'll also do something like that" I replied

"Not at all Surbhi. I knew you'll never do anything like this. It was just that I'm afraid of myself that I'll not be a good friend. I'm not worth a friend like you" he sighed

"You know I want to slap you one more time for thinking like this.Don't let your past get over your present and future. You are a good soul Mahir. I know that. You know whatever happened was beyond my imagination.  That girl... These type of girls are shame on Womanhood and more than that shame on friendship and love. Playing with emotions of people.But Mahir you and I both know that we can't go in the past and change anything...but we have one thing in our hand.  Healing up from what happened.
Sometimes we desperately hold on something so much that we forget that we've to hold ourselves together. I know saying is really easy but when it comes in doing , it seems impossible right, but you know every impossible says I M Possible. 
Don't let your past be heavy on yourself. Let it all out for once and forever. Make yourself happy. Find your sunshine. Be the reason of your own happiness. I know it'll take time to heal but you know don't make a distance from everything and everyone. Be the Mahir you are. That Mahir which was lost somewhere back. Be with people who make you happy. Try trusting people again. Not everyone out there is sitting to break your trust. Many are there , who really cares for you..but above all that Make yourself happy.. Make yourself smile.. Don't wait for any big reason for to be happy.. Be happy in every small thing. Find  constant reasons for your happiness. You know you deserve much more than you think. You deserve happiness and believe me you'll get it.. Just try once, Making friends... Being happy.. Believing in yourself... Trusting people and Trusting yourself. Please " I pleaded

He was holding my hand till now.  How much I want you to hold me forever like this but right now it was not much important for me.

I being as a friend will do every single thing to make him believe again in everything.

" Trust.. Surbhi.. How can  I trust people because last time when I trusted anyone,  I fell down and there was no one to hold me " he lamented 

" But now if you fall down you'll always find me  there to hold you and make you believe in everything again and again " I whispered

"Thankyou. What I did was really wrong but what you did for me I think I'll never be able to pay you back this much" he said

"You can pay. In just one minute " I replied smiling a bit.

" How" he asked

"Just promise me in front of God" I told

"What" he asked again

"Promise me that you'll never run away from any fear of loosing anyone.. You'll try to be happy for small small things as you did. You'll express yourself.. At least in front of your friends.. You will become that Mahir which you really are....  That Mahir which is in front of me right now " I said wiping my tears. 

I don't know why I'm so emotional. I'm crying till now.

He raised his hands smiling weakly and wiped my tears.

" I promise I'll try to" he replied

"And yeah next time when you'll be sad and if I'll ask you that why you seem to be crying... Don't say men don't cry.. You'll express yourself okay" I stated and he nodded

"I'm sorry for not replying to your message " he said

" It's okay.  No more sorry and thankyou " I replied

  I saw the clock on the wall of the church and looked at my phone !!

" Oh no.!!! It's 9 and phone's battery is dead" I panicked 

"What happened " Mahir asked

" Di... Mahir. Give me your phone fast " I told and he handed me his phone.

I dialed Di's number.

"Hello di" I said

"Surbhi where are you. You okay. Where's your phone. You didn't come till now." Di fired a series of questions.

"Di..di...calm down. I'm absolutely fine. I..I.met one of my friend here...Just coming home only" I said

"Okay. Come soon. We're waiting. You sacred us Surbhi" Di scolded

"Sorry di. Just reaching in an hour" I told

"Yeah. Shall I say Aneer to pick you up" Asked Di

"No..No..not at all. I'll come. Don't worry " I said

"Okay. Come soon" she replied hanging up.

"Come...I'll drop you home" offered Mahir.

"You alone here in London right" I asked

"Emm..yeah..Why" he asked

"Because Today you'll not drop me home. You'll come with me and will stay there only " I said

"What. You mad. It doesn't seem good. I'll go to my house only"  Mahir replied

"Not at all Mahir. I'm not going to leave you alone for today at any cost... Being practical.. If you'll be alone you'll just think on that one topic only..which I don't want you to think.. so Its final you'll come with me..and I'm not asking you..I'm ordering you, okay" I ordered

"You are  stubborn " he huffed

"Thankyou.. that I'm " I replied smiling

Soon we were in his car moving towards home.

I can't leave him alone in this condition. I know he's not expressing but somewhere he's still thinking  about everything that's why I decided to take him home...but how will di and jiju react on this. I don't know. I'm just doing what I feel like doing right now.

I saw Mahir. He was silent all the while. I too didn't want to say anything. Let him take his time to heal..

It will take time but I want him to heal him completely and I hope I'll be able to Heal Him completely.
