Chapter 29

Ayla's Pov:

"Hey!!! You bloody- What the fuck is wrong with you? Who you the hell do you think you are?" Arjun yelled as he came standing infront of me, shielding me in a way "Don't you dare raise your hands on my girl or else you might face the worst side of me" Arjun's roared at her making them flinch at his outburst.

My face burned red as tears started to roll down on my face. The impact of her slap was so hard that my face got turned aside. I scoffed at my situation I still can't believe that out of everyone she would raised her hands on me. What do they think of me? What do she think of me?

A punching bag?

I hold my right cheek while tears of humiliation started to fall down as I slowly turned towards to look at her.

Shock would be an understatement, she didn't even look a bit of feeling remorse for slapping me infact if anything her stare is blank. Her face portrays any void of emotions. I never imagined her to slap me. What happened? If anything she would have beat the shit out of him not me.

But why did she...? What did I do?

She was the only one who trusted me and supported me now she's the one who's raising her hands on me without even asking what happened and why I look like this.

Can't she see how I look?

I was startled by her voice, "You fucker...!!! Stay the fuck away from this, since the day you stepped into our life, you turned it upside down so I suggest you to move aside. This is between her and me. Nit you" Her voice resonated in the corridor of the hotel.

I furrowed my eyebrows at that I clearly don't understand what's going on now. Whatever she said was true, but why did she slapped me?

"See women, I can't just stay away from her when you fucking dare to slapped her. I don't care what you do just get out of my sight" he said making me look at him in disbelief, I can't let that happen.

"Arjun, just stop it please not now. Please go away. They're my friends let me talk to them." I tugged his shirt making him look at me as I plead.

"Friends? Seriously? After all this she really think we are her friends" I could hear Amrita's mocking voice, I ignored it as I continued to plead him not to do anything.

He turned to look at her with hatred filled eyes, gritting his teeth, clenching his fist he closed his eyes to control his ragging breathe. Meanwhile she continued to glared back at him. I tugged his arm again to make him look at me. He finally turned towards me as tears started to form in the corner of my eyes. I blinked several times not to let it fall down.

Arjun's eyes softened while looking at my eyes, he shake his head and went inside the room without saying anything.

Now I really feel awkward standing in the middle of the corridor with just duvet around me surrounded by my friends. Even though guys are not looking at me still it's kinda making me shrink back in fright.

I looked back at his retreating figure, I inhaled deeply while turning towards my friends to ask them what happened. Why they're standing there with that accusations filled eyes pointing directly at me? before I could speak I found a hoodie land on my shoulder. I turned to look, only to find Arjun draping his hoodie and made me turn towards him as he tied the knot on the duvet so that it won't fall down.

I'm thankful for what he did, now I'm fully covered. The man who stripped me down forcefully is the same man who's draping his hoodie on me. What an irony!

I don't think he's helping me with the current situation either. If anything my friends look more furious at his actions

I heard a chuckle I turned to look towards the voice.

"I fucking can't believe this. We were searching for you like a dogs from early morning and here you are romancing with this fucker" Rags yelled at me.

I flinched at her voice. What? Romancing? With him?

Can't they look at my state? Do I look like I had a romantic session with him? That guy fucking drugged me and raped me.

"What? Rags no...!!!" I exclaimed at her accusations, "He drugged me and ra-" before I could complete my sentence I got cut-off rudely by Vani.

She asked me "Seriously still you're making excuses?"

I looked at her in confused face, what excuses I'm making right now. I couldn't even able stand, it's sore down there and they are talking it in puzzle making it hard for me to understand.

"What are you guys talking about? I didn't do anything" I asked them with confusion clear on my face.

"OMG! This women! I tell you she's the biggest actress I have ever came across" Amrita chuckled while placing both her hands on her head. She came near to me, but before she could Arjun pulled me next to him by putting his hands on my shoulder.

Staking his claim on me. As always!

"Calm down, lover boy" she said while smirking at him.

"What are you-" again they cut me off.

She scoffed at me "See bitch, We saw the real you few minutes back so don't try to act all innocent now" She pointed her fingers towards me and Arjun saying "We know you both are dating so stop the act. Why did you even played with us as if he's an abuser and my god the shits you told us about him".

I was shocked to hear her what did they saw and what are they talking about? I started to move towards her, but Arjun's hold on me got tightened.

I looked at him asking to leave me, but he just continued to hold me ignoring my protest. I sighed it's waste of time to argue with this man.

I shake my head "No.. no.. he kidnapped me and drugge-" before I could complete Meera came pouncing on me ready to slap me again.

I shrieked back hiding behind Arjun holding his hand to sheild me away from her. What happened to her now? Why she's behaving like this?

She was never like this out of everyone she was the one who stood up for me and used to believe me, now she's not even ready to listen.

Sanjay and Vijay hold her down and Arjun put his hands infront of me not letting her come near to me.

"Leave me guys. This idiot... She... shee... Urgh!!! I fucking want to beat the shit out of you. Why? Whyyyy?? I always believed you over others. I stood up for you when no one else did. This is how you treat me huh? Whyyy women? Why did you made a fool out of us? What's wrong in telling us that you like him? Instead of that you poured so many foul things about him and made us think he's a sadist psycho and this guy over here.... You-" She turned towards Arjun pointing her finger at him "She made all of us think that you are a bad person. She said so many false things about you and still you're protecting her? What the fuck is wrong with you?" She screamed at him.

I looked at her baffled what.. what is she talking about.

"No....no Meera listen to me... there's a misunderstanding... he's not what he's...trust me he drugged me an-..." I tried to tell her but she cut me off again saying "One more word from you mouth and I don't know what I'll do to you so shut the fuck up".

She looked at him again "And you see for yourself what she's trying to do. First she broke Aarav's heart and now she's trying to portray you as a bad person but still you're not saying anything. Can't you see? she's literally talking about you. What the hell is wrong with you?"

He looked at her coldly before replying "It's because I love her and I can do anything for her. I don't mind her words and I don't care what she says about me because at the end of the day she's mine and she's" he dragged me by holding me close to him "in my arms so that's enough. My love is enough for both of us"

I gasped at him. What the hell is he talking about. Love? He is just making the situation worst.

"I can't believe you guys. Are you serious right now? You both are psycho couples totally perfect and made for each other," she said dramatically while moving her hands up and down "What kind of sadistic pleasure you guys are getting while making us all fool? And you Ayla do you seriously think you can make all of us believe in your shits now? If you think like that then you're a gone case. My god my head is gonna explode. I'm out of here" Amrita said while leaving.

I gasped at her as I shake my head negatively calling them, but they all left not before giving me a dirty looks. Aarav and Vijay looked at me disgustingly while Sanjay shake his head in disappointed.

I tried to talk to them again, before I could do that my heart stopped for a second as I listened to what Rags and Meera said.

"You're not our friend anymore. We don't want a liar and psyco in our gang. As Amrita asked what kind of sick pleasure you're getting from this?" shaking her head in disbelief Rags left.

"Clear your head and get over this shitty obsession. If you learnt your lesson come to us otherwise don't even think about coming infront of us. I hate the sight of you" Meera walked away saying that after but not before turning to look at me one last time.

They walked away from me.

Just like that!

Is that it? Don't they want to hear from my side?

Pain.

That's what I felt when I heard those words from them. Even when Arjun manhandled me or that slap I received by Meera didn't hurted me this much. It's not the physical pain that's hurting me. It's like... I couldn't breathe properly as I could feel something inside me broke completely.

Tears started to roll down my eyes. How could they leave me without even listening to me?

How could they judge me?

What did I ever do to receive such harsh behavior?
