Sikky gulped down the drink and wiped his mouth.he heard his phone ringing and fished it out of his pocket.he smiled and touched the receive button

"Yeah ..sweetheart..at rks apartment"sikky said

Rk looked at him with a sly smile.sikky cut the call after taking his sweet Time

"Well... bhabhiji?"rk

"Ah..man you are blushing"rk laughed"btw...when you gonna introduce us to her?"

"Soon..I am going back to India next week"sikky

"Yeah...but we really miss your marriage function yaar"rk

"We missed yours too"sikky

"Then we will have a party here"rk

"Done...and she is really eager to meet you all especially you..I don't know y..but she is always asking me about you and asking me to take care of you..I asked her y she is concerned about you and she said she have a sosterly feeling for you...strange na"sikky smiled

"Yeah...but don't be a jealous possessive husband"rk laughed

Ria pacef backand forth biting her nail.sultans gaze kept on following her pace ,after sometime his patience weared out.

"What's the problem baby?"sultan

Ria stopped her pace and quickly seated beside sultan and took his hand in hera.

"Sultan..rk is not at office today..but I saw sikky and him leaving for pffiy"ria

"They might have gone somewhere"sultan said disinterest

"That's what bothering me idiot"ria pissed off"what I'd he said anything to rk"

"He has to know it eventually "Sultan said trying to calm his anger.

"Yeah..that's true...but not now and not in this way...I have to get rid of that bi**h and then I had to support him in his sorrow..then we have to break up..he will be my support throughout that and eventually I will make him propose me and happy forever"she said smiling dreamly.sultan looked at her with hurt and disgust.

She went out of her daze and looked at sultan

'please call sikky and tell him no to spit out anything to rk... please baby"she pleaded to him with a puppy face

"will you kiss me if I call him?"sultan

"Of course honey...more than that"ria

Sultans eyes lit up when her hands found the place where he wanted her attention.he took the phone and dialed sikkys number

****

"Sikky you have a call"rk

"Receive it yaar..that may be her and she was really desperate to talk with you"sikky said half opening the bathroom door.

"Okay"rk said and took the call

"I know you are with rk  and don't say anything just hear what I say.. don't spill anything about ria to rk..if you said anything about it to her she might attempt to take her life again like last time and you Know I can't live without her...and how much close to death was she and how difficult was to get her back from depression...so please don't reveal anything to him... okay.."and sultan cut the call.

Rk looked at the phone in disbelief.."ria And suicide attempt..when and why ?..what is that they are hiding from me ?"

"Hey dude...what did bhabhi said?"siky came to him wiping his damp hair

Rk looked at him wide eyed

"Hey rk..what happened ? Why are you looking at me like you have seen a ghost?"sikky smiled"she terrified you?"

"T..that was not bhabhiji"rk

"Then who?'sikky collected the phone from rks hand and looked at the call log

"Sultan??...what he said rk?"sikky looked at him with a slight shiver in his words

Rk stared at him 

"What are you hiding from me?"rk

"I...I ... nothing ..y should I hide something from you?"sikky stuttered

"Then y I didn't have any idea about rias suicide and depression?"rk shouted

"Wh... what?... suicide?..but who told you"sikky

"That's not the matter sikky...I want to know the truth"rk

"I...I can't rk"sikky said shaking his head

"But y not?"rk

"It's...it's much complicated "sikky

"Sultan was the reason behind it and when it happened?"rk

"Leave it to them rk...it's Thier family matter and..'sikky

"No sikky...I can't leave it like that...ria is my best friend and I never had a clue about everything happening in her life...oh god poor girl'he brushed his face with his palm.

"I am gonna ask her about it"rk walked to rias house

"No"sikky caught his hand"I will tell you"

Rk looked at him and sighed.hr sat down on the couch and said"start"

Sikky sat down opposite to him

"Well...it was last year..."sikky said sighing

"She was hospitalized for an accident?"rk said

'yeah..it was not an accident...she attempted suicide.."sikky

"Jeez..."rk

"Remember..you were at India for a vacation.. and j used to visit her as she is alone in the apartment..the next day ..you went to India i visited her apartment and saw her in her room bleeding all over the floor and she was lying unconscious.j took her to hospice..she cut her nerve ...me and sultan tried our best to hide it from everyone as the police might suspect you or sultan for it...you left just a day before and of course the day of her engagement with sultan."sikky said

"But y did she do that?"rk asked

"I...I don't know"sikky said looking away from him

"You know it very well and you are trying to protect sultan ,right?"rk asked furiously

"No...I am not rk"sikky

"Yes you are ...I am going to ask her"rk stood up from and went to the door

"No rk... believe me..."sikky

"No.."rk opened the door and went to rias apartment .he pressed the door bell and sultan opened it after it.rk pushed him from the door and barged into rias room.ria squealed and covered her half  naked  body.

"I...I am sorry...get dressed and come out..I want to talk with you"rk

Ria nodded and dressed.

"What's up with you rk"she seated next to him and took his hand in hers.

Rk looked at with hurt in eyes

"Why the hell you didn't tell anything to me?"he removed her hand from hers and cupped her face"what was your problem ria..why didn't you share it with me?I was here to protect you from everything"he glared at Sultan

"What..what is the matter?"she removed his hand from her face and glares at sikky

"I...I said him about your... suicide"sikky stuttered and ria gasped.she stood up and moved to sikky.

"Ria...why did you do that?"rk asked

'i..I...what he said to you?"ria

"He said he don't know ..but I am sure he is trying to protect sultan..he had something to do with it "rk said

And ria started sobbing and hugged rk.she cried on his chest.rk hugged her and caressed on her hair.he took her to the couch and gently placed her.ge took a glass of water and handed it to her.sultan and skky looked at them dumbstruck.

"Tell me ria...why?"rk

"Rk...sul.. sultan used to abuse me..he used to beat me whenever he wants ...but he threatened me that he will kill you if I tell anything to you...but you were oblivious of everything and asked me to marry him...you know I will do anything you asked me to do and we got English..the same day night he hit me till I lost my consciousness..I couldn't bear it anymore and I decided to end my pathetic life..'ria said

"What the f**k"sultan jumped from his seat and looked at ria astonished..how she twisted everything to her benefit

Ria started shivering looking at Sultan"he still abuse me rk..but,I..I am scared for your life..sikky is helping him in all these...I can't take it anymore rk"she started sobbing

"I am going to call police"rk took out his phone

"No..no rk.. please..I...I still love him..I don't want him to get hurt"ria said

"Look at her sultan... Don't you feel ashamed of yourself.. and sikky..you said that she was a sister to you and who else do such things to this own sister...you too disgusted me"rk said

"I would have beat you..but I know it will hurt ria.."rk

"Rk...ask them to get out of my place..we don't need anyone Neither any friends nor any spouse...just we two ,you and me"ria hugged him again

"Yes ria."he turned to them"don't you hear her ..get out"

Ria hugged him and he hugged back closing his eyes and tears falling.ria looked at both of them held her head on his chest.she devilishly grinned at them and popped up her middle finger to them.

Sultan crashed the goblet after gulping the drink .

"F**k...I can't believe her...she had done this to me"sultan said.

"I told you not to believe that b***h..but you are so into her"sikky

"How she twisted the game..she is really something"Sultan

Rk gently placed ria on the bed and spread the comforter over her and stood up  to leave.she held his hand

"Rk...will you sleep here ..I..I am scared"ria

Rk sighed"okay"

Ria moved for him and he laid down beside her.and she hugged him and held her head on his chest..he felt awkward but the sake of his friend he ignored it.ria sighed savouring his warmth.she remind about the day she attempted suicide
