Ira's pov -

How dare Chhaya touch Aayu.

Fear, anger, broken trust everything is in me now.

I push Chhaya with my whole anger, she has fallen on the floor. In my threat, she replies to me, "I am sorry. I am sorry, Ira. I am sorry for everything. That's why I am here."

"You are sorry !! You are sorry for what ??? Your brother couldn't rape me for that ??? You stabbed me for that ??? You broke my trust for that ??? You took advantage of my innocence for that ??? A girl who was unable to walk, you guys planned to throw her on the road for that ??? Exactly what you are sorry for ??? Tell me.." I get so loud. Suddenly I felt pain in my chest so I put my hand on my chest.

Aayu was holding me when she saw that I was in pain. She immediately started massaging my chest and back then said, "Please, Ira don't be so excited this is not the right place to talk. Let's go to your cabin with Chhaya. She wants to say something. At first, listen to her and then you say what you wanna say. But please be calm. Please."

I didn't reply, just nodded as I know she is right, besides that I am really feeling pain. I better choose to be quiet.

Aayu holds me, we enter the cabin. Chhaya also comes. Aayu helps me to sit on the sofa and then gives me a glass of water. Chhaya is looking at us. Aayu locks the door then comes to me and sits beside me while holding me in her arms. Then Aayu told Chhaya to sit.

Suddenly Chhaya said, "I wanna talk with you alone."

My blood starts boiling and I yell at her, "I have nothing to hide from her. She is not you. My secret is safe to her. Whatever bullshit you wanna bark, just say and leave. I am not sitting here to fulfill your wishes. That time passed. It's Aayana for whom I am talking with you here. Otherwise, you would be out of here."

Aayu is trying to stop me but who is stopping what I am saying? Suddenly I started coughing and my chest pain increased a lot which made my breathing heavier. Aayu starts crying after seeing me like this and saying, "Please Iru calm down. I can't see you in that state again. Please. We can talk slowly. Please calm down."

I wiped her face and said, "I am okay. Please don't cry. Okay?"

In my reply, Aayu immediately hugs me and starts massaging my back.

During our conversation, Chhaya came close to us and said, "Ira, I am really sorry. Please don't cause more pain for me. I am here only to apologize to you for my deed. I know what I did with you is unforgivable but still, I need to do this." Then she kneels down in front of me and apologies by folding her hands.

"Why did you do that? Do you still know that memory gives me attacks? That's why Aayana is so tense. I trusted you like blind. After all of my family incidence, it was you with whom I got attached and you betrayed me. Not only that you used me to fulfill your brother's wish. Seriously ?? How could a girl do this kinda thing with another girl !!! And after so many years you suddenly come and you start saying sorry to me. Huh !!! Who does this ?" I was saying more but Aayu stopped me as I was being loud.

When I stopped, Chhaya held my hand and said, "I know what I did is wrong and I can't back that time to you. But trust me, I got punished for that. Each and every moment after that incident I never could sleep well. I did that with you because I could develop a better bond with my brother. In my family, I am always treated as a doll.

I am a girl who is useless to my Dad. My brother also treated me in that way. My mom was dead with whom I would share everything. Then one day you came and my brother was even now also passionate for you. He asked me if I would help him to get you. He will be better with me and Dad also will love me.

So, I took that offer. But when I realized my mistakes it was too late. I already lost you. And then I couldn't gather enough courage to come to you. But now I have to as I am gonna enter a new life with that person who loves me like I always wanted. How can I start my happy life without your pardon ?! Please forgive me."

"Not so easy for me to forgive you. But yeah as you are really sorry, so just leave this guilt and be happy in your new life. Congratulations. If you were here 2 weeks ago maybe I wouldn't say these same lines but now I know what love is. So, go and be happy and never come to me again. Those flashbacks really give me pain. I can't describe how I am feeling now. So please go." I said to Chhaya.

Then Chhaya looked at Aayu and said, "That day I saw you with Ira. I was so jealous at that time. I thought this place was mine which I lost for my deed. But I am happy that you are with her. Finally, Ira gets someone who loves her selflessly and I am sorry for what I did a few moments ago."

"That's fine. Be happy." Aayu said to her.

Then Chhaya gets up to leave. Suddenly she turned back to me and said with teary eyes, "Can I get a last hug from you ?? Please..."

"No. You don't have that right." I replied to her. Aayu holds my hand and tells me to hug her. I give her a rejection look and she again requests me with her eyes. Then I nodded and got up to hug Chhaya.

Chhaya just hugged me and said, "Please be aware. Riad is still on you. He will try his best to get you."

I released her and said, "Thanks for your unwanted concern."

She just said bye to us and left. When she left Aayu came to me and hugged me. I also hugged her back and we stayed like this, then I said, "Thanks for being here. Otherwise, I won't be able to face her."

"All pleasure is mine, honey. Now tell me how is your pain ?" Aayu asked.

"Still on but better than that time," I replied.

"Let's go to your personal room. I will apply the pain-reducing spray. You will feel better." Aayu said.

"I don't have that," I said.

"Okay please sit, I am coming." By saying that Aayu left.

Thankfully Aayu was there when Chhaya came, otherwise what would happen can't be imagined. I am still in those memories and holding my chest in pain.

Aayana's pov -

At least Chhaya tries to solve what she did but this Riad is never changed, person. He is still on Iru. I was thinking and reached the pharmacy. I asked for a pain-reducing spray but they don't have that. They only have the balm, so I take that and come back to Iru.

When I reached I saw she was still in the same place and holding her chest with a pained face. I rushed to her and held her and then asked, "Are you feeling a lot of pain?"

"No, not much. I am just ... Leave it." Iru said and tried to avoid something. Then I insist, "Please say."

"Nothing baby. I am just unable to overcome those moments. Nothing else." In her reply, I held her at my chest. Then I said, "I didn't get the spray, there was only balm I needed to massage, please." Iru nodded and we both entered her personal room.

Then I uncovered her upper part and said, "Baby you need to control your emotion. It is harmful to your health. I totally understand what you had and have gone through but sometimes you need to think about me also. I can't see you in pain. And also you are not well. You have to be more careful. Please understand."

I am saying and massaging slowly at her back and chest.

Iru didn't reply.

When I finished I was about to stand up to wash my hand, suddenly Iru hugged me and said, "Sorry, I shouldn't react in that way. But I can't explain to you what I felt at that time. I am sorry."

"No baby. You don't need to be sorry. It's just my concern, I said. I also know why you react in that way. Even if I was at your place I would have reacted more in anger. But my first concern is your health. That's why I said this. Nothing else. I am coming by to wash my hands. It's almost 3 pm. You just sleep after you sleep. I will go to check all of my work. Then I will come to you and we will go back home. Is that fine ?" I asked.

"Hmm," Iru replied.

Then I left her in bed, when I came back Iru was already dressed up. I smile and Iru smiles back. Then I sat on her side, and she lay in bed...

Iru closes her eyes but teardrops make the wet edge of her eyes. I kissed her eyes and said, "I am always there. If you wanna cry you can. I wanna be your support, not your barrier." When I said these Iru immediately held me tightly. Her face is in my abdomen. She cried out loudly.

My Iru is really in pain. I can only cure the pain of her body but the scars she has on her heart and mind, I can't cure those.
