Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.

Clea's P.O.V

"It was 6 years ago. When I was 19 and my brother, Dylan was 21." I said recalling the happy and sad moments with him.

"I had a best friend since eighth grade. Blair, was the name. She was the best. She had that all a girl would ever want and a boy ever dreamt. Her chubby nature, innocence and smart mouth could make anyone happy and anyone regret their being in one moment. But little did anyone know, the girl, who had a long line of boys waiting for her one glance, had a strong crush for my brother."

"'Had' 'was'....???" I asked. She sighed and continued ignoring my question.

"She really liked him and wanted to know Dylan's view. So we teamed up for the same. And after continuous attempts, we succeeded and got to know he had the same feelings for her. Not from a day or two, but from the moment he laid his eyes on her. Soon after that they started dating each other. Blair being 19, and Dylan being 21, doesn't prevent them from loving each other. I was so happy to encounter the fact that my best friend will become my sister soon. And a year and a half later, they both got married. Yes. They got married. They were 20 and 22 respectively. Quite early, I know, but they were madly in love with each other."

"At the wedding, we found out that Blair had a half sister too, Tiffany. She was a single mother due to the death of her husband in a car accident. From then onwards, she was kind of a pain in the ass." She chuckled with gloomy eyes.

"The way she was eyeing Dylan at the wedding made me and Blair little confortable, but we ignored. Our biggest mistake!"

"A month later, It was Kyle's first birthday. And we all were invited. That day, was actually the worst day of our life because of what happened."

She sighed and continue.
"We reached at Tiffany's house on time-...."

FLASHBACK

(On Kyle's birthday, at Tiffany's apartment.)

We were all really happy and enjoying ourselves with the soft music playing on. Everyone was mingling with each other.

"Aah...Tiffany darling, its been really long. Bring kyle down. Let us meet him too." Blair's mom said.

"Yeah mom, just a minute. I'll bri-" Tiffany was cut mid sentence by Blair.

"Can I have the honour? Please?" She asked with puppy eyes.

"Yea, sure little sis. Continue, but just be careful." Tiffany said.

"Your wish, my demand big sis. I'll be right back." She said and headed towards kyle's room via ascending the stairs.

Few moments later, we saw her in the corridor of the first floor. She was playing with little kyle while coming downstairs.

Dylan and I were engrossed in our sibling talks till we heard a scream. SCREAM. BLAIR'S SCREAM.

"Aahh--........kyl-"

We snapped our heads towards her direction.

Blair was rolling down the stairs with little kyle in her hands.

As soon as we registered what happened, we were by her side, immediately.

There was blood, everywhere. Blair was squealing in pain. But.....Kyle, he was still.

Though he had blood running out of his head, but he wasn't crying!

Dylan immediately held Blair while I took kyle from her hands. As much as I wanted to ignore my next step, I had to do it. Slowly, I brought my ears near her small chest only to find nothing. No heartbeat. Checked the pulse, still the same answer.

I had no idea who called 911, but soon, an ambulance was there, and Blair and Kyle were took to the nearest hospital.

Few hours later, Kyle was declared dead and Blair had broken ribs and arm.

Tiffany would cry like hell. Which of obvious. She lost her only child with her husband. But what tickles was the fact, that Blair was continuously blaming herself for the accident.

"I should have covered him with my arms properly. Actually I shouldn't have go to get him in the first place. I am sorry. It should be me in the place of that bundle of joy. I am sorry Tiffany. I am sorry kyle. I am sorry mom. I am sorry everyone."

"Yes, ofcourse. It all your fault. Because of you, I lost my son, my only child. The gift by my late husband, the gift by the god. And because of you, Its gone!"

"Sorry..sorry...sorry ..I am sorry...please...sor-"

"BLAIR" Dylan screamed when he saw Blair passing out.

*************

After few appointments with the doctor, it was confirmed that Blair was in depression. She was constantly blaming herself for the accident. Toady, was a regular appointment for Blair. Dylan was driving while I was sitting on the passenger seat and Blair at the back, staring at nothing.

After the checkup.

"What is the progress doctor?" I asked.

"Well. I don't want to give off false hope. There is no improvement. She is still the same." Doctor answered.

"There has to be something doctor which can help us. Help her to get out of the depression. I can't see her like this. It fucking kills me. Please help us. I'll do anything to everything. Please." Dylan said with teary eyes. I can't help but the cry with him. I too can't see that fun loving Blair sitting and staring at nothing.

"We can try. But I am unassure of the results."

"We can always try." I said.

"Prove her. Prove her that Kyle's death was an accident and not het fault. Prove it to her with a solid proof which she can't deny."

"But how, no one ha-"

"We can! Yes Dylan we can. I saw cameras at Tiffany's appartment. Maybe we can take her help and make Blair see the footage! Because I am sure, it was an accident."

And we got the cue. We straight went to Tiffany's after droping Blair with my mother.

"What the hell you two are doing here?" She asked with venom in her speech.

"Look Tiffany, deep inside we all know that that was just an accident. It could have happened with anyone. It could have been you, me, ur mom, anyone. But it was Blair. And she is punishing herself. We just want a little favour. Please Tiffany."  Dylan said, almost begging her.

"Aah. Its good. She is punishing herself only. Otherwise, if I had a chance, she wouldn't even have time to register what happened to her. She fucking killed my son dammit. And you want me to help her! NO! NOT EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS." She said smirking and screaming the last part.

"SHE DIDN'T KILL HIM GOD DAMMIT!. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. Kyle was Blair's nephew too." I said sobbing.

"We are quite sure Tiffany, the CCTV footage of that day would be enough to change your mind and us to help her with her depression. Please Tiffany. I'm begging you. Please." Dylan said.

There was an uncomfortable silence for good 10 minutes. Tiffany was sobbing while thinking hard. On the other hand, we were just praying god to give her some sense so that we can have that footage!

"Fine! Get your ašš inside. But let me remined you, if she is at the fault, I won't forgive her."

"Don't worry. She is not. For sure." I said.

Soon we started to check the footage and it was clear that while she was descending the stairs, a man, looses his Balance which, in return, got Blair pushed down the stairs resulting in what happened that day. Both Dylan and me were very happy on finding the proof.

As soon as we reached home, we decided take take Blair out and show her that she is not at fault for happened in an innovative way.

According to our plan, Dylan went to 'The Sunrise Hotel' to make necessary arrangements while I was dressing up Blair.

"Why are you doing all this? I really don't want to go anywhere." Blair said

"Ooh shut up Blair. Please do this for Dylan. Please. He really wants you there."

After lots of convincing, she at last agreed and we drove to our destination.

I was really excited to get my best friend back.

As soon as we reached hotel, we made our way towards the room. It was not locked and knowing, it is a surprise for Blair, I forced her to open the door herself.

As soon as she did it, her eyes widen, and she started sobbing quietly. Confused with her expressions, I pushed her aside and made my way. I gasped when the sence in front of me unfolded.

Despite the beautiful arrangements with rose petals all around the room, a projector, etc. My eyes froze on the bed. The bed with naked Dylan and Tiffany on it! TIFFANY?

Tiffany looked towards our direction with an evil smirk on her face while a white fluid was dripping out her mouth.

Disgusting!

I made a move to hold on Blair's hand and drag her out, but to my surprise she was not there!

END OF FLASHBACK

*************************

I was sobbing hard resting my head on Andrew's shoulder. Gathering myself up, I continued.

"I was so angry. Scratch that. I was furious. But concern for my best friend took over my un-named emotion for Dylan and went to follow her. But to my great astonishment, before I could even get out of the hotel, I phone rang. On answering the call, I got to know that the call was from some random person who witnessed Blair, intentionally coming in front of an overspeeding car."

"She died Andrew. She f*cking commited suicide. She not even gave her life a fair chance. She didn't deserve it at all. She could have been the Blair I know earlier. But that stupid Dylan f*cked it all up."

"Where is he now?" Andrew asked.

"No idea! After the accident, I confronted him for the same when he returned. He said nothing in his defence and just left. No one has listened from him since." I heaved a deep sigh, stroking my tear stained cheeks, I continued.

"This is the reason. I don't want a brother. I won't be able to handle a betrayal from other one."

"For me, my brother and my best friend were a prefect couple. Their love for each other was my goal for love. And it left me startled when a witnessed a cheating Dylan. It just broke all my heart, dreams and expectations for love. And hence, I decided to go for an arrange marriage to avoid what happened with Blair." I concluded my past story.

Andrew's P.O.V.

Upon hearing her back story, I can't help having teary eyes. Blair, definately doesn't deserve that. But the thing, which I think, was hard to believe was, Dylan said nothing in his defence? If he really loved Blair, he should not have done that in the first place, and if it was a mistake, there should have been some explanation! But no, nothing.

There is definately a piece of tjis puzzle missing, which no one know except Dylan himself.

Gathering myself up, I started.

"Hey, I understand you had an overwhelming past, which you can't forget. But can you give, love, a chance with me?" I saw a small smile making its way on her lips which made me chuckle.

She nodded which made me embrace her.

"I think, I like you already!" I said.

"Me too." She said shyly.

I can't help but to chuckle on her. One moment, she is bold enough to ask me not be so formal and come to the park. And the other moment, she is shying, looking gorgeous with the tinge of red on her cheecks.

Her head was resting on my shoulder which gave me a chance to checkout her. CLOSELY. She has short blonde hair, which I know, are coloured via her facebook pictures. Her brown eyes were like chocolate embedded in her eye socket. And you know how much I love chocolates. Her lips are so pink. They seem so juicy. I can't help but to imagine how it would feel to kiss those pink smooth lips.

I was snapped out of my soon to b dirty thoughts when she spoke.

"Why you chose an arrange marriage over a loved one?" She asked.

I heaved a deep sigh. Just thinking about Hayley and my past with her, make me damn furious. I can't even imagine, people like her exist in this world.

Or to be precise, mother like her.
