Samira's POV

People say that when everything in life goes wrong you always have your family to go back to but what if your family is the reason why everything in your life went wrong in the first place?

Aryan's POV

I woke up with a jerk as I heard a knock on the door, I had yet again fallen asleep on the couch while trying to console Rashmi who was now sleeping peacefully next to me resting her head on my shoulder. It has been a week since Shiv left her and she has been an inconsolable emotional mess ever since.

"Come in" I said as I knew only one person would come to visit the two of us now.

"Hey you guys I bought takeout food"

Shanaya said walking in. I made Rashmi lay on the sofa and covered her with a blanket, before I walked up to Shanaya to collect the covers from her.

"How is she?" Shanaya asked looking at Rashmi.

"She is a mess; I am getting worried about her now"

"Did you try talking to Shiv again?"

"I tried so many times he just wouldn't listen to me he seems really hurt himself so I didn't even wanted to push him too much"

"Did you hear anything from Samira by any chance?"

In between all this I was distracted from the fact that Samira had just run out on me a week ago I haven't heard from her ever since of course not being around her was breaking my heart but I was trying to be strong for Rashmi right now so I never even got a chance to deal with all those emotions.

"No I haven't heard from her ever since she left she is not picking up my calls or answering my texts"

"And you have no idea why she left?"

"Not a clue"

"No arguments? No disagreement? Nothing?"

"Nope, the time I saw her she was a but upset after knowing you were getting a divorce but we talked and she was feeling okay, other than that everything seemed okay with her; we were even making progress in our relationship and she seemed really happy"

"Wow that's very weird"

"She will be back eventually she is my Samira she always comes back for me I am sure of that, right now I just need to focus on getting Shiv to listen to me"

"I might know someone who Shiv would listen to"

"Rohan?"

"They are best friends after all, but we are not on talking terms now I would have to go meet him personally"

"I will come with you"

"You don't have to"

"But I want to"

"You should stay here with Rashmi"

"My staying here is not helping Rashmi right? So I should come with you if I have to help her"

"Why are you insisting on this?"

"Because Rashmi is family, when we got married right after I lost Samira she stayed up with me through all of my sleepless nights, when I found out that my own family betrayed me she was there for me and also Anaya never made us feel lonely, and when Anaya left me she almost gave up her own life to take care of me believe it or not she is the only family I have and I can't see her like this anymore she has been through enough because of me and will do anything to see her happy once again"

"Fuck! You are making me emotional now; all right pack your bags"

Samira's POV

I sat there silently as my crazy brother tried to convince me to go back to my crazy husband, if he wasn't my brother and instead was a friend or a boyfriend who was trying to convince me to do something I so clearly don't want to do he would have been hated by everyone but as he is family people assume he might be right. I mean think about it, isn't most of the things that we call 'red flags' in many relationships the things your family dose and gets away with on a daily basis? Sometimes when I look closely even the Pyaar ka punchnama series start feeling like a day in my life video. So why dose a romantic partner or a friend gets dumped for doing the same things that families are celebrated for doing? Don't get me wrong I am not saying don't dump toxic partners or friends I am saying we should be able to dump everyone who push us into situations that you are uncomfortable with and makes you feel bad about yourself.

"I have to go now" I said and walked out of the door without knowing where I will go as my brother stared at me surprised.

Aryan's POV

"So you will be back right after you drop Shanaya back home?" Rashmi asked.

"Yes of course"

After dropping her home and making your home whole again. I thought as I looked at her.

"It's just that I didn't wanted to take this whole trip back alone again plus I think Aryan could use some time to clear his head also he could help me with my moving and plus even you could use some alone time now you know to think everything over" Shanaya said.

"That makes sense, but I want you back here as soon as possible"

Rashmi said looking at me.

"Of course I will be back before you know it"

I said kissing her forehead.

"You know if both of you get back together most of your problems will be solved" Shanaya said.

"That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard" I said.

"Why would you even think that?"

"From which angle do we even look like a couple?"

"You are going insane and need help"

"Whoa, whoa chill it was just a suggestion"

"Well it was a stupid one and, I am going to pretend like you never said that" Rashmi said.

Samira's POV

All I felt was endless amount of range rush through my veins as I knocked on the door of a stranger's apartment during the middle of the night. Well not a complete stranger I did knew an awful lot about this person. As I stood there thinking all this Rohan opened the door. He looked half asleep and tired but I didn't care.

"You.....you fucking destroyed my life" I shouted.

"Excuse me...." He said now waking up completely.

"I was fine as I said no to love and prepared myself for a life of endless loneliness but you and your dumbass love story had to come along and destroy it all like reckless tornado"

"Do I know you?"

"Of course you don't know me because you don't give a damn about the people who look up to you act all lovey-dovey with your grand romantic gestures and painting your wife's toenails until one day boom you are getting divorced just like that"

"With all due respect miss.....are you drunk?"

"Oh you would love that wouldn't you but no I haven't taken a single sip of alcohol after I started dating this guy who had lost his memory but decided to give up drinking after he got his memory back because he hit his wife with a car even though he wasn't drunk when he hit his wife with the car, wait......he didn't even hit her that bad he hit a tree and my psychopath brother who wanted to kill everyone, why the fuck did he give up drinking then?"

"Wait.....Are you talking about Aryan?"

"Of course I am talking about Aryan, he was the best thing that ever happened to me but honesty I was better off when I was pretending that I was dead and thought that he was married to someone else why did I have to tell him that I was alive? Because now everything is ruined I ran away like a coward and I don't know what to do anymore even though all I want to do is go back to him and hug him and take care of him and let him take care of me but I can't........."

I said and started crying like an idiot.

"Do you wanna come in for a cup of coffee or maybe some ice cream?" Rohan asked.

"Chocolate flavored please"

I said as I rushed into his house.
