"Why nanehji?" Khushi's weak broken voice was the only sound resonated in that big living room, everyone was still in shock not believing their eyes.

"I thought you are my friend" She whispered through her broken voice.

"You're not in my suspicion list from the start until I saw you on the living room" Arnav spill another thought from his bucket.

Khushi darted her eyes to arnav. Seeing her questioning eyes he found himself replying to her "Morning along with di he is too there. And I asked aman to do background check on him, he confirmed big amounts are transferred from his account and traced his phone call. He is the one" Khushi lowered her eyes. Her body shivered thinking of the possible reasons which pushed Nk to do these things.

"Why Nk? Aren't we family? What made you do these things? Leave me, we never shared same page in any matters but what khushi did to you? She always consider you as her true friend. What had happened to that?" Arnav asked not able to bear the hurt faces surrounded him especially khushi. When he saw him on the morning itself, he felt doubt on him. When he guessed anjali's disappearance must be because of his outburst, he knows nk was the one yet to confirm his guess he let aman to work on him. 

For his lined questions, What he got was only silence. Nk stood silently clenching his fist. Khushi who saw him standing silent dragged her feet towards Nk.

Standing before him, she let her trembling hands to shake him for answers.

"Why did you do something like this nanehji? We're always best friends aren't we?"

Every eyes started misting at the truth of Nk being culprit. They just can't digest and believe whatever truth was unfolding before them. They just wish, someone will wake them up from their horrible dream says, it was a dream. Alas! no one woke them instead Nk himself proved them it was not a dream.

Nk pushed her arms away "No... We're not best friends. We're not. We're more than that"

Exhaling he started speaking in a meek voice which contains no fury nor anger but only hurt.

"Can't you realise we are more than friends khushiji? We get along so easily. We share same thoughts. We both are happy in each other company. We both loves desi things. We both love chatting whatever come in our way. We both are always in sync. I know when you're happy, when you're sad, when you're hurt, when you're excited, when you're annoyed, when you want to enjoy, when you want to just sit and chat along with some hot pakoras and coffee, when you want to go to movies, when you want to celebrate. Likewise you too know me. You know what I love, what I like, what I enjoy, what I adore, everything you know me. Even you like me like I do. But everything got messed by HIM" His voiced turned fury when he pointed at arnav.

Everyone froze in horror again catching the underlying meaning behind his words.

"We're so good in our own world khushiji. HE dropped in between us messing everything with his arrogance. Everytime he poked his nose in between us hurting you in the process. I would've been happy if he not insulted you. It pains here khushiji" He pointed his heart inhaling a deep breath.

Arnav looked at him in horror. Till day he had an accused feeling for Nk. He thought Nk came between him and khushi, not to forget the truth because of him he realised his feelings for khushi.

"It pains here everytime when your precious tear was wasted on this man. Every time you cried because of him, I tried to soothe you with my antics. I planned everything to propose you on new year but your behaviour made me rethink my decision. I thought to keep my feelings within me until you feel more comfortable around me. When I thought everything was on right track you went and married HIM!!!!. I was shocked khushiji, shocked to react anything. That's why I went away from here to tend my broken heart. Each time I kept asking myself what was lacking in me that you went on married the man who always hurted you in each step he takes. Why??? Why??? Why???... At a point I realised, Why would you marry him when all you both share was hate. I know he forced you to marry him else you would've denied to marry him. I flied here to rescue you but you asked my help to rescue HIM. He’s my brother before your forced husband. So I helped you to reach him. During that period somehow I connected the dots and found out shyam was behind your forced marriage. Don't you think I trust you more than HIM. When you said shyam was a cheater I trusted you without a doubt but HE did not trust you khushiji. HE doesn't deserve you khushiji. HE is not worth of your kindness khushiji. HE SEPARATED US KHUSHIJI. HE STOLE YOU FROM ME. HE CAME BETWEEN US. HE...HE IS THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING. HE IS” Nk slumped down due to the pressure his body, heart and brain undergoing. Finally, he let out his pain.

Khushi stood as if a bucket of cold water is splashed on her. Her face reflects her inner turmoil.

“So you are the one behind this photo nk bhai. But, Why did you sent photo of bhai to us? Hell, why did you took that photo in the first place?” Aakash questioned finding his voice in this tensed atmosphere.

Nk looked up with a bitter smile “Still you didn't understand aakash. HE SEPARATED ME FROM MY LOVE, IF HE SHOWED A LITTLE TRUST AND LOVE ON KHUSHIJI I WOULD'VE BEEN HAPPY THINKING KHUSHIJI IS HAPPY. BUT HE MADE HER CRY, CRY FOR EVERYDAY. IF HE DIDN'T MARRY HER LIKE THAT, BY NOW I WOULD'VE FILLED KHUSHIJI LIFE WITH COLORS. AND IT DIDN'T HAPPENED SO I REVENGED FOR MY LOVE. I WANTED HIM TO LIVE HIS WHOLE LIFE WITH A GUILT OF TORTURING A LOVING PERSON LIKE KHUSHIJI. I WANT HER TO LEAVE HIM. After shyam truth they're so busy that they themselves fought and I tried every possible way to cheer khushiji by my presence and when it gone overboard I called lavanya, ex- of HIS but when she refused to budge I threatened and took that photo with other girl. She just posed for cameras. Sending it to khushiji, I hide it before he sees it so that he’ll get angry on her for doubting him. I believed ASR anger will destroy himself but... unexpected happened. They got patch up. How can they? How can khushiji TRUST him so much when he showed nothing but DISTRUST on her? That's why I send that copy to you all. And I was the one who send HIM the photos of khushiji so that he'll realise how much unhappy she was with him. Her name was HAPPINESS but all she got after married him was SADNESS AND HURT. I want her happiness back, her cheerful nature back, her innocent antics back which she lost due to HIM”

His face drenched with tears as much as others. Only weeping and sobbing was reverberated in the room. Each family members realised how bad they're at maintaining relationships. Lot are happening in front them yet they didn't find it odd. Nk sprang forward holding khushi hands.

“Khushiji he will not keep you happy. He married you only in hate. Trust me khushiji you'll not be happy with him. I will not pressurize you to accept my love. But leave him khushiji, he's not worth of you. We'll leave India, I'll keep you happy khushiji. Trust me..” He blabbered incoherently.

Khushi doesn't know what to feel now. Should she be happy that culprit was caught? Or Should she be sad it turned out to be nanehji?

But when he said to leave arnav her heart galloped at the mere thought. She pushed his arms harshly making a distance between them.

“You gone insane nanehji. How can you assume everything on your own? Hear me nanehji, I LOVE ONLY HIM. Love doesn't always about happiness nanehji, love is a package of happiness, sadness, worry, hurt, adjustment, compatibility, desire, support, trust. I lived, felt everything with him. I know what he is. You don't need to give certificate for him. You know what even in hate he's honest with me, but you...In the facade of friendship you backstabbed me. More than him you hurt me with this act of yours. I never expected this from you, NEVER” She yelled not caring of her wounded heart.

Nk leaped forward catching her palms in his again “Why are you speaking like this khushiji? I did all this for your happiness and to release you from this jail. Your happiness matters to me a lot, which you can find only with me. Remember our days khushiji, ever you cried when you are with me? Ever we got bored in each other company? Ever we hurt each other? The answer is big NO. We're made for each other. Trust me.. you'll…” His voice was stopped middle way by none other than khushi who pushed his palms away.

“I AM ONLY HIS!!! Whatever happened and happens will never change my heart. My heart and soul only belong to him, no one else…” She screamed on his face before running to her room. The hurt he created will never fade, period.

'She’ll never be mine’ His heart and mind chanted making him feel like he swallowed thousand of pills.

Everyone pitied him whilst getting angry. Love reduces anyone, anything. They saw live example now. One side arnav and other side Nk both are pros and cons of it.

“Be ready to catch next flight to Australia. Never show your face to us, NEVER. I leave you without punishment just because you are my brother. But if you try to mess with me, you'll see the worst of me” Arnav howled on him following khushi suit.

It hurts as much as shyam truth hurts. How will ever they cope up with this? How will they survive this truth? Only God will show the path.

“Pass my sorry message to khushiji” That's what they heard from him last.

Only good thing happened was arnav and khushi realised how important husband and wife relation was.

Life was unpredictable as emotions. Suppressed, Unexpressed emotions will always reflect badly. Nk’s unexpressed love failed to capture khushi’s love for arnav. Instead of burying it alive, if he let out aloud or accepted the truth wholeheartedly this would've been saved!!!

As true as emotions are strong as convertible. Time will have all the answers. Maybe Nk will be back to his original self if he found his soul, May be khushi will accept him back as her friend, Maybe a day will come when nk will call arnav as nannav again,Maybe a day will arrive when nk find his revenge stupid, Maybe time will erase these bad thoughts. Maybe..Maybe... Time was the only medicine!!!!

So crap part! Wrote it in hurry. It would've been delivered better,but...

I ended here as this was the end of the theme I thought when inaara_khan asked me to write something being Nk as culprit. We just tried to explore a part which very few writers did and that's why NK was culprit. We always saw him as a good soul so a little change.

Like said in end, time will change anything. So the rest you can imagine whatever you wish.

It was supposed to be a two shot but by your support I reached here. I don't have any plans to continue this.
