Ruhan's POV

I was enjoying the farewell party but somehow felt that everyone was looking at me or Mahi weirdly.

What could be the reason for that??

Maybe because they thought that we both looked like the most good-looking students who deserved to be crowned as Miss and Mr. School for the year but our school had stopped that trend about two years back.

Anyway, I looked at Mahi, she seemed to be very sad. But she was fine last night. I would ask her later on.

We all had food and after that, we all were going out when I saw many students gathered near the reception area. Just then I saw Mahi kneeling on the floor and crying bitterly.

What the hell??

I rushed to her and asked, "Mahi, why are you crying like this? " She didn't reply but Mihir came rushing to me and caught my collar. I was even more shocked at his reaction.

What was going on??

" Did you do all this?" He asked.

" What?? I don't even know anything. I just came here and I am shocked to see her crying like this. What happened? "  I asked.

He pointed at the notice board clenching his jaw. I looked at the notice board and it would be an understatement I say that I was shocked.

There was a big picture of Mahi kissing... Bhai??

Bhai and Mahi... Kissing??

Bhai?? I was not sure if it was Raj or Ron.

It has to be Ron Bhai as I knew she had a crush on him.

I went to see other papers pasted there.

Oh, God!! Who did that?? I would beat that person for humiliating her like this.

"  No, I swear, I didn't know anything about it. Or I would have already taken care of it." I said.

Mihir was angry beyond a point and he yelled at the students and told them to leave and they all left immediately as Mihir looked furious. But I could not go like this.

Mihir got wipes and water for Mahi to drink. Her friend helped her. While he and I rushed to the notice board and pulled everything off it and the walls,  Mihir picked up the cards, and diaries and threw them in an empty big cement planter outside the school. Then he asked the guard if he had a matchbox or lighter.

He was planning to burn them??

Mahi tried stopping him by pulling his hand, crying bitterly. But his face had an angry look, that I had never seen earlier.

" Bhai please, don't, I beg you. " She looked at me as if she wanted me to stop him but how could I do it?  Mihir was raging like a bull.

" Does he feel the same way for you? " Mihir asked her. But she could not say anything. He even looked at me but I  was unaware about it, so I shrugged.

Mahi kept pleading but he pulled Mahi towards his car and asked her to sit. And when she didn't, he shouted and threatened her that he would call their father.

She gave me another pleading look but what could I do when he was so angry? If it was Roohi in this condition, my brothers and I would have been equally furious.

He took the big picture of them kissing, burnt it, and threw it in the pot. Mahi started crying bitterly by then, he got into the car and drove from there at full speed.

I could not let all that burn, they were her emotions for my brother. I  looked around but the fire extinguisher was quite far off, in the playground, I could not go there as it would have taken time. Only the picture was burning by now and other things had not caught fire till now or maybe a paper or two had. I tried to find something first to get the burning picture away but when I didn't find anything I tried to extinguish the fire with my hand. I caught those burning papers in my hand and threw them away. I waited till it burned completely as it could not be saved but I didn't want to leave it in case it was left unburnt for others to see or use in a wrong way.

I picked up the other things and kept them in the boot of my car and I drove home.

Who could have done it??

Just then I recalled that I had seen Ishaan and Mahi's friend talking mysteriously last night at the party when I was going to the washroom inside and when I was coming back I saw him going out, he looked a bit happy but cautious while going out. I even called his name but he didn't stop and rushed out.

He could have taken all these things from Mahi's room as I knew he liked Mahi and he knew by now that she liked Ron Bhai. Her friend must have told Ishaan about this as she had a crush on Bhai and Manik Bhai but none of them were interested in her.

I will find out if they were involved in it or not and will teach them a lesson with Mihir, I didn't think it was a good idea to get Ron Bhai involved in this since, Mihir was already involved in it and was not going to take it lightly. I didn't want Mihir and Ron Bhai to fight as Mihir knew everything now and was angry with Bhai. So I would not tell him anything as of now at least.

I had saved everything Mahi had written but was not sure what to do with it. I will ask her and give it back to either her or Bhai. I reached our home and saw Ron Bhai there in the garden. 

Ron's POV

The next few days went by and I was still feeling very restless after breaking her heart... I even thought of calling her but didn't know how to do it. And then the next week, I was shocked to know that Mahi went to the USA.

Why??

Uncle had asked me to break her heart and he would not send her away... I kept my side of Bargain but he broke his promise.

How could he have done that to me??  To her??  I felt that there was nothing left in my life. I asked Manik about it and he told me that it was Mahi's decision.  She told everyone that she wanted to go there for further studies.

No!!!

No!! What have you done, Mahi??

I was so upset that I didn't even want to talk to anyone.

One day Ruhan knocked on my door and came in.

" Bhai, I need to talk to you. "  He said, I thought that he was just concerned for me like others in my family.

" Ruhan, I am absolutely fine. Please don't worry. "  I said to assure him.

" I think I know why are you so upset, I have something for you," he said and gave me a carry bag.

" What is all this?? "  I asked.

" Something for you."  He just said and left.

He was really turning weird.

I opened the bag and saw many cards and a few diaries. I saw them and was shocked. Mahi had written all those things for me??

I knew she loved me but here I had all her feelings on paper, for me to be able to read them. My eyes were full of tears and I started reading them and felt that I was reliving those moments from her perspective.

All her innocent and sweet childlike feelings made me cry many times. I got ashamed reading how she felt, every time I ignored her sweet gestures.

Oh, I am sorry Mahi, my love, I swear,  I am aware of every sweet and innocent gesture of yours and it affected me. I will make up for all of those times when I hurt you.

I could not stop reading till I read each and every single word of all those things and made it a point that I would get her back at any point and this time I would not let Mihir or uncle come between us. She was much more important to me than my friendship with Manik or my dad's with uncle, they can sort out it themselves and I will talk to Manik. I know he would not mind, and even if he would, I will tackle him.
