•Not At Fault •

.*.*.*.

" She's inside, Sanyukta please don't be too harsh." Misha requested causing me to frown.

"Are you out of your mind Misha? Didn't I tell you that Randhir has told me everything, how can I be harsh on her now? " I asked in disbelief and she looked down biting her lips.

"I'm sorry, it's just that, she's really sensitive right now and I don't want anything to go wrong. " She said and I held her hand.

"I understand, I'll get her out of this trauma. She'll be fine very soon. " I assured Misha and she smiled.

"I'm sure." She said increasing my strength.

Exhaling deeply, I opened the door of Kiya's room slowly and found her sitting on the floor, leaning on her bed. She looked engrossed in deep thoughts and I gulped before taking steady steps towards her.

Can I? Am I ready? I turned back to find Randhir and Misha standing on the doorstep behind me.

He gave me a thumbs up and I gained a new confidence. Nodding at them, I turned back to Kiya and walked further.

Sitting beside her silently, I gathered all the courage in me and kept my shaking hand on hers causing her to jolt away.

I flinched at the sudden action and she finally looked at me. Her eyes welled up immediately and the tears that I was holding back all this while too made their way out of my eyes.

"S-Sanyukta. " He cried and I took her in a tight hug.

"Kiya. " We both cried for about five minutes, hugging before parting.

I wiped all her tears and she held my hands.

"I'm really sorry Sanyukta. " She apologized breaking down and I shook my head.

"Don't be, it was not fault. " I told her, taking her in my embrace caressing her hair.

"But I—" "You did nothing, it was not at all your fault. I should have come earlier or at least had faith in you, I'm sorry. " I apologized and she shook her head.

"No you were right on your place Sanyukta, anyone would react this way if they find their best friend sleeping with their boyfriend. I can't tell you how disgusted I'm of myself. " She said looking down and I shook my head again.

"Don't be, you were not in your senses and we both know you can't even handle mild alcohol and you were drugged. It was not your fault. " I told her wiping her glass and handing it to her.

She wore it and hugged me tightly, sobbing and I caressed her hair.

"Still, I've hurt you a lot, I'm sorry." She apologized and I looked towards the door to find Randhir and Misha smiling at us.

Misha even had tears in her eyes while Randhir looked extremely elated.

"You were hurt too, I know whatever happened was really unfortunate, but we can forget it and move on. " I told her and she looked at me with a small smile.

"Really? " She asked in disbelief and I gave her a nod.

"Of course Kiya, you are more precious to me than any guy in this whole world. " I told her and more tears escaped from her eyes.

"I thought you'll never forgive me. " She said looking down and I smiled.

"I had thought the same until last night when Randhir explained everything to me. He's the one because of whom I'm here today." I told her and her eyes lit up.

"He brought me here." I told her looking at Randhir and Kiya followed my gaze.

Randhir got really uncomfortable as soon as Kiya's eyes met his. They both looked embarrassed and awkward and I really wanted to laugh at their cuteness but that would have made them even more awkward, so I just resisted laughing.

"Thank you. " Kiya thanked him softly and he nodded with a small smile before looking at me.

"Since my job is done, I'll leave you best friends alone, see you in college. " He said and I gave him a nod.

"I'll accompany you till your car. " I told him getting up and walking him outside.

"Thank you Randhir. " I thanked him as we reached till his car and he smiled.

"No need. " He said and I shook my head.

"Why not? You returned my best friend to me, I can't thank you enough. " I told him and he looked down.

"I did nothing. It's your friendship that did the magic. " He said and I couldn't resist anymore.

I hugged him, wrapping my hands around his neck and closed my eyes.

"You are the real magician of my life, who is setting everything right. I owe you a lot. " I whispered and he rested his hands on my back.

"I'm flattered. " He said chuckling causing me to chuckle as well.

We broke the hug and I looked at him with gratitude.

"I'm glad I got you." I told him and he sighed.

"Flattered even more. " He said causing me to chuckle again.

" Now go back to her, I'll see you tomorrow. " He said and I gave him a nod.

He got inside his car and left but I kept on staring until the car disappeared from my sight.

How nice can a guy be? And how I could never see all this earlier? I was with Ayaan and assumed all guys are like him, which is not true. Randhir is so different, so nice.

"Sanyukta." I was brought out from my trance by Misha.

"Huh? " I asked.

"Let's go, Kiya is waiting for you. " She said and I gave her a nod before heading towards Kiya's room.

.*.*.*.*.

"Now it's all good. " I told Randhir chopping the tomato and adjusting the phone in speaker.

"Great. So you all are coming tomorrow right? " He asked and I took an onion.

" Yeah of course. But to be honest Randhir, I'm very nervous. " I confessed and heard him chuckle.

"Why are you nervous, Classy Wine?" I chuckled too at his adjective.

"Because not everyone thinks I'm a Classy Wine. " I told him smiling.

"And why do you care about others? All you should care about is what you think or feel and what the people that matter to you, feel about you." I smiled at his words.

"You just know how to raise my confidence. " I told him sobbing because of the onion.

"Sanyukta why are you crying? " He asked causing me to chuckle.

"I'm not crying. " I told him.

"Don't lie, Sanyukta if you don't want to come to college tomorrow, don't, there's no problem." I laughed at his words.

"I said I'm not crying, I'm just chopping onions. " I told him chuckling.

"Really? " He asked softly and I wanted to go all awe on him.

"Yes. Now I have to prepare my food,  I'll see you tomorrow, bye. " I told him.

"Bye. " He said and I disconnected the call.
