"Sudhan" Avni ran to Sudhan with a bright face, before she could pull him into a big warm hug he stopped her holding her hands in the right time.

Avni who got surprised with his sudden rejection felt a kind of sharp pain in her heart.

They didn't talk for a second, stood calmly looking into each other's eyes.

They both are searching answers for unspoken questions.

Avni is nervous, still in a kind of doubt.

Sudhan is smart enough to understand her hesitation.

A small chuckle escaped from his mouth and his eyes brimmed with tears.

He quickly wiped away the imaginary tear on his cheek and tried to smile a bit.

Avni understood his reaction and felt like a tight slap on her face.

She gulped audibly and took a step back.

Sudhan's gaze landed at her feet, the step taken back.

She became more nervous and started fidgeting with her phone in her hands.

He quickly forwarded his hand and waited for a reaction.

His eyes which, were brimmed with tears a second ago turned into red and his expression became furious.

"You never trusted me enough Avni" He took back his hand and shoved it into his pocket.

"Sudhannn...." She fumbled with words and looked here and there.

"All the best Avni, Your parents might be searching and worrying for you" He shook his head and turned around to leave the place.

"Wait......" Avni almost freaked at his reaction.

"What do you think about yourself?"

"This is what I hate in you?"

"You are self-obsessed and your damn male ego......" She muttered a few curses under her breath.

Sudhan laughed at her reaction, he is well aware of her reaction.

It is as bitter as he expected!

"Maybe I am..."

"But, you know one thing, you never believed me and tried to see me from my perspective."

"The moment I denied your hug, you straight away rejected me, you didn't give a second thought, "Sudhan spoke slowly.

Avni felt a lump forming in her throat making her choke.

"You are angry and confused Avni"

"Don't take any decision in such a fragile situation."

"Marriage is not a small thing," He looked at her.

She doesn't know what to say?

She stood like a rock at the verge of crying.

A few drops rolled over her cheek and she quickly wiped them away.

"Yes, Marriage is not a small thing"

"I thought you deserve a chance you failed me again" She spoke curtly.

He smiled at her words and his grin irritated her more.

"Great, Wah....!"

"You proved me true again."

"You proved me how cruel you are?"

"You are no one but a self-obsessed filthy rich guy who got all kinds of privileges because of your irresponsible millionaire father." She caught his shirt with a clenched fist tightly.

"Mind your words Avni. ........Leave " He caught her hand in time and tried his best to get rid of her grip.

"My words!?"

"My words are so true and as sharp as daggers."

"You are a coward, irresponsible guy"

"Don't forget it's you who chased me." She broke into another round of tears

He felt a kind of strong pain in her chest.

He felt someone stabbing his heart again and again.

He stood sweating profoundly with fluttering a second.

It took a second for him to gain back his lost conscious and soul.

He stopped those damn tears about to escape from his eyes.

Probably these are the first time he might be crying in years.

He crushed all his dreams in a night with a single chuckle in a second.

He knows she is not meant for him, still, he wanted to cry.

What all he wanted is shout till all her tears get exhausted.

He knows he needs a shoulder to lean on and close his eyes for a second to escape from the brutal reality.

Numbness embraced his body an emptiness invaded his heart.

He is barely breathing now.

He is well aware that Avni is not the one for him, still what is making him depressed? He asked himself.

Her words are so powerful and he can't imagine to hear them from the person he adored, treated like an angel.

"Is he an opportunist?!"

"Is he a selfish filthy rich guy?"

There will be no place for love where there is no trust and respect.

He looked at her for once and walked away from there with a heavy heart.

He took long strides to reach his car in time.

To his surprise, Nithya is waiting for him there with a tensed face.

Why is she here!? Didn't he ask her to wait for him at the hotel?

Why is she here?! He looked at her in confusion?

She smiled and ran to him expecting good news.

She ran to him and stood in front of him peeping into his eyes.

He can't meet her eyes and it intrigued her more.

She started imaging all the possible scenarios to get her answers for her questions wandering in her mind.

He gave a wan smile and stood lowering his head, avoiding her gaze.

She grabbed his hand immediately, asking him to look at her.

What she found the next second just crushed her heart.

His eyes became furious and brimmed with tears.

He is struggling, battling hard not to shed them.

She placed her hand on his cheek affectionately, she somewhat guessed what might have happened and truly felt sad for him.

"If you want I can talk to her," She said with full of innocence.

He chuckled at her words and hugged her tightly.

This time he didn't stop his tears and let them flow over her cheek freely.

She felt his tears over her shoulder and a quick sob escaped from her mouth instantly.

She cupped his face and wiped his tears.

He took a moment to gain control over his lost self.

"Don't forget I am with you, whatever it is? I am here to listen.", she mumbled to which, he smiled sadly with a pale face.
