'Bandana...I think mujhe ek baar varun se baat kar leni chahiye' Sameeksha said.

'Kis khusi mei baat krna hai usse!! Tera dimag kharab ho gya hai!!' Bandana said.

'Aree I mean ki ek baar baat krke clear kar lete hai ki i have aborted the child &..' Before sameeksha could complete bandana spoke.

'Aur kya pata woh phirse tere saath aa jaye..kyu!! Sahi kaha na maine?' Bandana said with anger clearly visible in her eyes. Sameeksha lowered her lashes.

'Kyu tu humesha dil se sochti rehti hai!! Kyu tu nahi samjh rahi hai uske intentions. Woh darinda hai darinda!!! Bas ladkiyo ko use karna aata hai!!! Ek jann hai jisse pta chal skta hai ki kaisa hai woh banda!! Agar woh tujhse pyaar krta toh achanak se aisa kabhi nahi karta!!' Bandana said with deep thought.

'Par yaar...' Sameeksha was about to say but bandana interrupted.

'Yaar pta hai...aaj ek bada hot sa ladka dikha mko hospital mei. Kya jabardast lag raha tha. Uski eyes yaarr...aur aur..uski smile..uff..dude bihit sahi dikh raha tha!!' Bandana said in excitement. Sameeksha started laughing soo hard looking at bandana's face expressions.

Bandana was just staring at her laughing angel. She felt really very good.

'Tujhe ab mai kabhi bhi udaas nahi hone dungi' bandana whispered to herself.

Aarushi kept her hand on sumedh's shoulder. He turned around, but he was not able see her face.

'Sumedh' aarushi said. As soon as sumedh realised her voice he stood up in jerk. His legs were shaking very badly. He was about to fall when aarushi held him by his hand. He stood straight & pushed her away.

'Stay away from me!!' Sumedh said. Aarushi was thrown away.

'Sumedh...listen..' Before aarushi could say anything sumedh interrupted.

'I don't wanna listen!!! Tum bharose ke layak nahi rahi aarushi!! Tumne hum sabko dhoka diya hai!! Yeh jaante huye ki woh varun kitna ghatiya hai phir bhi tum uske saath...!! Chali jao yaar yaha se!!' Sumedh yelled at her. Aarushi went towards him. He stopped her showing his palms.

'I. Said. Stay. Away. From. Me.' Sumedh said again. Aarushi was broken by his behaviour but she knew that she has to listen to all these things until she erases all the datas varun had.

'Bas ab sumedh!! Tumhari halat toh dekho pehle. Khada toh hua nahi jaa raha hai tumse. Please sumedh chalo mere saath. Bas ghar chhod deti hu' Aarushi said.

'Kaha na maine door ho jao mujhse!!! Jao apne varun ke pas!!' Sumedh said in anger. Aarushi's felt like her world came to end. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She wiped it away & again went to sumedh.

'Chalo sumedh!! Tumne bohot pi rakhi hai. Chot lag jaegi tumhe. Chalo main tumhe ghar chhod deti hu' Aarushi said & held him by his shoulders. Sumedh tried to go away but aarushi tightened his grip. As sumedh was drunk his tries went in vain.

'Hato tum!! Mat chhuo apne inn gande haatho se' Sumedh said. But aarushi ignored what he said. She took him from there. Aarushi struggled a lot walking along with him. They reached near her scooty.

'Baitho mere piche!!' Aarushi said. Sumedh shook his head.

'Aarushi!! Tumhe mere baare nei sochne ki koi jarurat nahi hai!!' Sumedh yelled.

'Main tumhare baare mei nahi soch rahi. Uncle aunty ke baare mei soch rahi hu!! Ab chup chap baith jao agar nahi chahte ho ki unhe yeh pta chale ki tumne aaj kitni pi rakhi hai!!' Aarushi replied him. He made a poker face & sat.

'Pakdo mujhe!!' Aarushi said.

'Itna bhi chadha hai mujhe. Mai sambhal sakta hu apne aap ko' Sumedh said. Aarushi rolled her eyes.

'Okay!! As you wish!!' She said & started her scooty.

Sumedh was feeling dizzy. He unknowingly held aarushi's shoulder which gave aarushi goosebumps. After sometime she felt his head on her back & his hands shifted to her waist. She was startled with his sudden movements.

'Sumedh??' Aarushi asked while driving. He didn't reply. She understood he was asleep. They reached his apartment. She decided to take him in sara's flat.

'Sumedh?? Sumedh utho hum pohoch gaye!!' Aarushi said.

'Aree dusky sone de na!!' Sumedh said in sleepy voice. Aarushi remembered about sara. Now she had understood that why sumedh used to take care of her like nobody else. She felt bad about thinking wrong about her.

'Sumedh utho!! Mai aarushi hu!!' Aarushi said but still no movement. She herself made him stand. She removed his hands that were holding her waist & she slowly turned so that his sleep would not be disturbed. After some tries she succeeded in making him stand. Aarushi already took out flat's keys from his pocket as one key of sara's flat always remains with him. She took him inside the apartment. By now he was half awaken. Aarushi made him stand & opened the door. He held sumedh's hand & took him inside.

'Nahi chhodunga....' Sumedh was blabbering in sleep. Aarushi was so much guilty because of what she has done but she knew that she was doing right.

Both entered sara's room. Aarushi tried to make sumedh lay on bed properly but her leg slipped & both fell on the bed.
