Sameer's POV

"You both fought again?" Prateek Bhaiya looking at me with a facepalm.

We both are in the office working on a project, I am feeling very uneasy and I couldn't concentrate on my work.

"What?" I kept a sulky expression.

"Why do you fight with her all the time?" He questioned me with a serious face.

"She never understands me properly" I complained like a kid.

"Have you ever took sufficient efforts to explain her, make her understand the things, situations properly?" He asked me quickly in a stern voice.

"I...." I trailed off as I know I have failed miserably.

"What?" He raised his brow and looked at my face in disappointment.

"I am trying a lot Bhaiya, but she is not ready to listen," I said trying to defend myself though I know it's wrong. She has given me a chance but she did it on a purpose.

"Can I ask you one thing?" He asked me looking at my worried face.

"Of course, Bhaiya!" I tried to smile at him, trying to look normal.

"What is her problem?" He asked me looking into my eyes.

I looked at him with a sad face. What should I say now? I sighed closing my eyes.

"I am sorry if I have invaded your personal space but I can't see you worried all the time. You both deserve happiness" He sounded so honest and sincere.

"Bhaiya!" I stood up and hugged him instantly.

"Sameer" He returned a warm hug, patting my shoulder.

"She doesn't want to believe me Bhaiya, She saw me with Swapna, She asked me about that day. She wants to know what had happened on that day" I said slowly.

"Swapna??!" Bhaiya looked at me in shock.

"Yes, Swapna. Niyathi came to meet me in the Ice cream parlour, Don't know how Swapna learnt it and reached there in time and you know........." I looked at him in pain. I know he can imagine what had happened next.

"Oh my God!" He got shocked by my words.

"Swapna is doing all this purposefully and Niyathi is questioning me about her, that day" I sat there holding my hand.

"I don't think she doesn't trust you," Prateek Bhaiya said seriously.

"Really?" I can't believe it.

"Yes, If she doesn't trust you then why would she ask you that question. You can decide her easily with your words." He is looking at me eagerly for an answer.

"But why does she want to know it if she loves me, trusts me" I answered quickly

"Maybe she wants to clear all the misunderstanding between you," He said hopefully.

"You might be expecting more from her Bhaiya"I chuckled.

" Sameer, look at me"

"No relationship in the world is an exception from expectations. Maybe she truly wants to know what had happened that night." He ruffled my hair

"Think maybe she wants to help you by learning what had happened that night."

"Remember it takes a second to misunderstand a person but it takes a lifetime to understand him probably." He said quickly.

"Bhaiya" I frowned.

"You are oblivious about things what had happened on that day, that is your biggest problem." Prateek nodded.

"Try to solve the mystery then, you will be free from all kind of questions." He said confidently.

"Bhaiya it has been a year" I hesitated.

"Truth can't be hidden for a long time, It's just a year" He smiled.

"I will try" I mumbled.

"You have to, to make yourself happy, to make people around you happy."

"Try to find the truth, you will find it one way or other." He is boosting my confidence.

"Thank you Bhaiya," I said heartfully.

"Shut up, Kiddo" Bhaiya giggled.

I smiled at him sweetly keeping all my worries aside.

He left me there in my cabin and walked to a meeting.

"I miss you Niyathi" I mumbled at her picture in my phone.

I want to see her now, She didn't pick my calls and answer my messages.

I cursed myself to hurt her feelings.

I should've asked her a bit quietly.

I grabbed my car keys and went to see Niyathi.

I am waiting for her at the parking area, she will be on her way home.

Finally, she came, My eyes lit up soon I saw her. I walked to her with a sad face.

Her lips frowned soon she saw me, She just looked away trying to escape my gaze.

I felt a slap of my face, her actions are showing her anger. She was never this angry at me.

"Niyathi" I caught her hand and She looked at me dangerously serious.

"Niyathi, Please."This time I begged her keeping my ego aside.

"Leave my hand, Sameer" She warned me. I got baffled to listen to her tone. She was never like this.

"Niyathi" I tugged her hand asking her to stop. She faltered and was about to fell. I caught her in my arms in time.

We shared a passionate eye lock. I stood there holding her in my arms carefully.

She is twirling in my hands to release herself from them. I didn't allow her to move.

"I am sorry" I kissed her cheek gently.

I saw a few tears in her eyes, my eyes became moist instantly. I hurt her with my words.

Maybe I was a bit overreacted. I sighed and released her, she didn't take a second to move away from me. I dragged her to my side and she resisted my actions.

I didn't give up, she ended up collided my rocky chest.

I smirked at her, Tears are flowing from her eyes instantly. My heart crushed seeing at her weeping like a child.

I tried to wipe those tears away but Niyathi pushed my hand away relentlessly.

"Don't touch me, Sameer" She shouted at me with so much of anger

I felt ashamed, indignant by her words.

I left her hand quickly without a thought.

"You are so mean, you can't touch me without my consent, Mr Sameer" She spat me verbally.

I just banged my car with my leg so hard.

"Did she know, what had she said to me?"I questioned myself.

She stood there glaring at me.

"When did I touch you....." I didn't complete the sentence as I feel it is not the time to discuss.

"Ah....!" She slumped there on the floor.

"Niyathi, I just want to say one thing, I love you and I am sorry if I hurt you," I mumbled looking away.

She lifted her head a bit and looking at me with a sad face, She is crying again.

I am controlling my anger, Her tears make me lose my control over my tongue.

"Please, don't make this even more complicated," I warned her. She didn't say anything thankfully.

"I will be waiting for you at the Coffe cafe tomorrow." I walked away without seeing her face again.

Finally updated.

Hope I will do it.
