"Ek shabd nahi Saahil.. Warna yahi jaan se maar dunga main tumhe!" he said angrily 

"bahut aag lag rahi hai tujhe?" Saahil asked with a smirk

Aarav slapped him again and begin to beat him up. Everyone was shocked at his actions, as a minute before he was silently standing and bearing all the allegations but when it came to me he lost it. 

"Apni beizaati bardasht kar sakta hun main.. Pehle bhi sun chuka hun kuch naya nahi hai mere liye lekin hemadri ke khilaf ek shabd nahi sununga main.. Agar ladki kisise pyaar karti hai khudko use saup deti hai toh use itni toh samajh hoti hai wo ladka use kabhi dhoka nahi dega.. Main bhi uska dil nahi todta agar main ek achi naukri kar raha hota!! Aur tum toh aise baat kar rahe ho jaise dudh ke dhule hue ho... tumhare kitne chakkar chale hai ye tumne bataya hai?" Aarav shouted.

"Aarav.. Tumhari aukaat nahi hai mujhse uchi awaaz mein baat karne ki" Saahil yelled and pushed him away. 

"Aur tumhari aukaat nahi hai hemadri pe ungli uthane ki samjhe.. Sangeet mein kya kar rahe they tum yahan kisie chupa nahi hai.. Chahu toh abhi uss firangi ladki ko yahan bulake puch sakta hun uske baad raat ko kya kiya tum dono ne kamre mei" Aarav said in a loud tone. 

Saahil is left speechless hearing his words.

"ab kuch nahi hai tumhare paas kehne ke liye haan? Mard ho to shaadi se pehle kuch bhi kar sakte ho? tumne kitni escort.. Oh sorry waha toh call girls bolte hai na? Haan to tumne kitni call girls bulayi hai?" he asked.

"just shut up" Saahil shouted

He smiled "abhi toh maine shuru hi kiya hai"

He eyed his sister who had lowered her gaze "ye tumhari behen.. Ye bhi janti hai main kaun hun.. Aksar aati thi london trips pe gaya hun main iske kamre mei..' he said and this angers Saahil.

He grabbed his collar and shouted "Aarav... meri behen ke khilaf ek shabd nhi kehna samjhe.. Uska pati usse bahut pyaar karta hai use zaroorat nahi tumhare paas aane ki"

Aarav smiles and said "exactly! Jab ek aurat ko apne pati se pyaar nahi milta hai na toh wo hum jaise logo ke paas aati hai! Aur jab ek patni apne pati ko pyaar nahi deti hai toh tum jaise mard Chetna jaisi aurton ke paas jaate ho! Bahut se log maujud hai yahan Saahil.. Jo mujhe ache se jante hai engagement waale din se jante hai par chup hai kyun? Kyuki wo jante hai main sirf apna kaam karta hun kabhi kisika ghar nahi toda maine.. Kisiko iss tarah jalil nahi kiya jis tarah tumne hemadri ko kar diya... apne hi maa baap se ab wo nazrein nahi mila paayegi.. "

I closed my eyes and dropped down on the floor shedding tears. Shreshta consoled me, and Aarav walked to my father.

He folded his hands in front of him with tears slipping down his eyes "sirf isliye aapki beti ka dil toda tha maine.. Agar mujhse naam judega toh badnaami milegi! Main toh kabse jana chahta tha par aapki beti ki khushi thi mujhe dard mein dekhna isliye har baat uski maani maine..aap apni beti ko Saahil se iss samaaj se zyada jante hai Sir! Kya aapko lagta hai aapki beti London mein jaake apne sanskar bhul sakti hai? Maine use pehle baar dekha tha na.. Jo jaana bahut shareef ghar ki ladki hai.. Isliye bhaagta raha usse door.. Par pyaar ho gaya Sir.. kyuki isse pehle kabhi mujhe itni ijzat kisi ladki se nahi mili.. Usse shaadi kar leta par aapka khayal aa gaya aap kyun denge mujhe apni beti ka haath? Isliye tod diya uska dil maine.. Bas yahi sach hai Sir... aapki beti ne sirf mujhse pyaar kiya aur pyaar kabhi galat nahi hota Sir"

Alok looked on at him, Aarav further added "hamesha aapki beti ka bhala hi chaha maine aur aage bhi chahunga! Pehle bhi chup tha ab bhi rahunga.. Lekin agar kisine use galat kaha toh ye Aarav bolega.. Meri wajah se use aur badnaami nahi uthani padegi.. Main jaa raha hun Sir"

He takes out his phone and deletes Hemadri's number. He picked up her purse and took out my phone and deletes his number. "Sab kuch delete kar diya hai.. Aur umeed karta hun meri wajah se Saahil phirse hemadri pe ungli nahi uthayega.. bete shaadi se pehle jitne marzi gf rakhe koi kuch nahi kehta lekin agar wahi ladki kare toh use characterless kaha jaata hai aap zara Saahil se puchiye uske kitne chakkar chale usne hum jaise escorts ko kitni baar bulaya apne ghar?"

Alok eyed Saahil who had been fuming in anger. "Get lost from here... tum jaison ki yahan koi baat nahi sunega" he yelled. 

"ek baat yaad rakhna meri Saahil agar tumhari wajah se iski aankh mei aansu aaye na toh main wapas lautunga aur tab koi mujhe nahi rok sakta... Agar phir kabhi tumne meri hemadri ki ijjat uchanle ki koshish ki toh tumhe zinda nahi chodunga main samjhe! Agar main apne pyaar ko chodne ki himmat rakhta hun toh use paane ke liye bhi ladh sakta hun.. So never ever accuse her" he warns him.

Saahil smirked and said "shaadi toh mujhse hi hogi uski.. Get lost bloody escort"

He cleaned his eyes and walks towards the exit but I held his feet when he passed by me. He instantly bends down and cupped my face. I was shattered, I didn't want him to go but he cupped my face "sach aa gaya saamne hema.. ab toh koi darr hai hi nahi.. Sabko takleef hui hai kitni! Aur sabse zyada tumhe"

"Sorry.. I am sorry.. Meri wajah se tumhe itna sab sunna pada" I apologized to hi

"No I am sorry meri wajah se tumpe sawal uthe.. Ab mujhe jaane do kyuki isse zyada main sehen nahi kar paaunga himmat toot gayi hai meri sabse dhoka mila hai mujhe" he said looking towards Chetna who was standing with low head.

I sighed deeply, I have Shreshta with me who will handle me but him. "Sambhal lena khudko.." I said as I know he will be all alone.

"Hmm.." he replied. Saahil shouted "bahar nikalo iss besharam insaan ko.."

Aarav got up and walked out of the hall by himself. I eyed him and hoped for him to turn back but he disappeared and the hall door gets closed.

Author's POV

Aarav was at the airport with his bags, he was trying hard to hold himself but tears were continuously slipping down his eyes. His childhood friend betrayed him and accused him of forcefully pushing her into the mud.

He heard the two voices, he looked in the direction and found Chetna along with Myra. She handed Chetna her passport and amount of money "as I promised.. Ye hai tumhara passport aur India ka ticket."

He was left still at his place witnessing the scene. Chetna held them and turned towards the boarding gate. She looked at Aarav, she walked to him and held his hand "Aarav.."

He jerked her hand away "door Chetna.. Mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni hai aur na janna hai kyu tumne ye sab kiya wajah mere saamne hai" he said, just to be with her he was ready to return back to london from there and this girl had betrayed him for her own freedom.

"Aarav please suno.. Main tumhe sab sach batane waali thi" she explain.

He was boiling in anger with her actions but he remained calm "Chetna.. Tumne mere vishwas ka fayda uthaya.. Mujhe sambhalne ka natak kiya aur Myra ke saath milke mujhe dhoka deti rahi tum" he still couldn't believe she would be the reason for his such state.

Chetna cries immensely "sorry Aarav! Main darti thi.. Agar tumne hemadri se shaadi ki toh tum ye kaam chod doge aur main akeli rah jaungi.. Tum hi toh mere dost they waha tumhe khona nahi chahti thi"

"Isliye toh mujhpe ilzam laga diya main ladkiyon ko behlata hun aur unhe bhi.." he couldn't even speak such words. Chenta closed her eyes as she herself was in deep guilt for accusing him but she didn't t have any choice

He jerked her a few times and she looked at him "kaise kar sakti ho tum aisa haan? Maine tumhe uss narak mein dhakela ya tumne mujhe majbur kiya tha?? Bolo..." he shouted at her.

"Are kaayi baar sirf tumhare liye maine hamare passport churane ki koshish ki thi pakda gaya phir kya hua ye bhi tumhe pata hai phir bhi tumne mere saath" he pushed hard and she misses her balance with it. She drops to the floor and Aarav turns to another side.

Chetna gets up and comes in front of him. She touched his face but he refused to even see her face. She said in a moist voice "Aarav.. I am sorry agar main wo sab nahi kehti toh John tumhe uss din ki tarah bahut.."

He looked at her and said 'are toh deni deti.. Kamse kam hemadri ko itna sharminda nhi hona padta!! Saahil se uski shaadi ho jayegi par wo zindagi bhar use emotionally hurt karta rahega.. Kabhi maaf nahi karunga main tumhe jao tum.. Mil gayi na tumhe azaadi jao tum" he pushed her and shouts a loud.

Chetna cries, she wanted to console him as he is broken but didn't have the courage as she is also part of his pain.

"Aarav ek baar meri baat sunlo" she treid to speak.

Aarav glared at her and yelled "Just leave me alone!! Shakal bhi nahi dekhni hai mujhe tumhari..." he folds his hand in front of her "mujhe majboor mat karo ki main tumhe wo sab kahun jo main nahi kehna chahta samjhi tum.."

Chetna sighed "bahut ache ho tum Aarav.. I am sorry main lajh nahi rakh paayi hamari dosti ki.. Tumhare bharose ki" she said and walked to the boarding gate still shedding tears.

Aarav cleaned his eyes and composed himself. He picked up his bags and walked towards the boarding gate. He doesn't know what mistake he did that God was punishing him. First, he lost his love and then his beautiful friendship with Chetna. He was mentally drained and just wanted to end everything as the pain was extreme.
