Chapter 46
Rags Pov:
I stumbled back on my steps while gasping in horror. I held my head in distress as my eyes watered while recalling the news that I had heard few minutes back. I shake my head closing my eyes as I sat down with a thud, like an electric shock soon every single nerves of my body trips with guilt.
I tried to take a breathe as I couldn't able to breathe properly. I heaved a breathe while gulping down the lump that formed at the back of my throat.
I shouldn't have trusted him over my best friend. I opened my eyes when realisation hit me like a fucking hurricane.
Oh fuck no...!!
What have I done?
Am I really a her best friend?
No.
"Why didn't we saw this coming before," Meera said while crying. Vani and Meera are here at my house. When we came to know about Amrita and Aarav, it literally broke our heart. I shake my head as I couldn't even imagine what Ayla might have gone through at that moment when she saw them together.
"Hey... hey stop it's not too late she might need us right now. Even though she's married I don't think after seeing them together she will be alright. She might be hurt and I'm certain she needs us right now. We should go to her" Vani said trying to console Meera, but who are we kidding
I choose to believe him over her. Which friend does that to their best friend's? I did. We all did it to her.
Not for once we believed her. When she needed us we were not there for her.
Fuck! even if we were there with her, whenever she tried we didn't even acknowledged her or even listened to her words. We were so busy in helping this asshole to get over her, but how could Amrita do this to our Ayla? How can be she so cruel like this. I still can't grasped it.
I clenched jaw in anger when she joined our gang she was so innocent where did that innocence gone? When did it happened? Or was this her true facade and we didn't seem to see her true self.
We all did so wrong to our Ayla.
My little!
I don't deserve to call her my little now.
But she could have told us that she loves Arj-
Wait what!
"No.. no... NOOO" My eyes widened when realisation stuck on me. All those times she told us that someone was threatening her and... and... and whenever she did, I always neglected her saying it might be her illusions.
"Hey, what happened?" Vani asked me as soon as when she saw me in panicking mode.
I ignored them as I started to walk holding my head going back and forth "No no it couldn't be that... OMG what did we done to her?" I muttered under my breathe.
"A no for what? What are are you saying no continuously?" Meera asked me seeing my sudden outburst.
Fuck!! fuck!!
It shouldn't be him. They love each other. That's what he told but Ayla.... Oh my god!!! No no my theory should be wrong about this.
"RAGS" Vani came and stood infront of me by holding my shoulder she made me look at her "What happened yaar? Why do you look like you saw a ghost?" I can see their worried face and concerned filled voice but I couldn't form a words.
How can I? Tears started to gather around my eyes. I blinked many times trying very hard to control my emotions.
"Yeah, you looks so pale. What happened? Let us know" Meera and Vani asked me both started to get impatient to know what made me act like this.
I tried to open my mouth but I couldn't able to speak. I opened and closed my mouth as I struggled to convey.
"Hey... Hey look at me Rags, take a deep breathe and let it out. You're killing me with this silence. Just say it" I did as she asked me to.
Taking a long breathe, "What if Ayla was right? What if she was right all?"
"What?"
"and.... and... and what if we were wrong?" I looked at her with distress.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
I let out a frustrated sigh, "Think about it guys! Just fucking think ok?" a sob left my mouth "What if she was right till now? What if we choose to ignore the truth infront of us? She was maybe right all this time?"
"Maybe" I muttered under my breathe when I said that. I don't want to believe it but still I couldn't let that thought aside.
Meanwhile Meera and Vani looked at each other with confusion filled eyes making me clench my jaw with irritation, "Oh god why you guys are like" I closed my mouth before I could utter some shit. I turned around from them, I could hear them whispering. I closed my eyes taking a deep breathe, "We always choose to ignore her but we should have trusted Ayla when she said Arjun wasn't who we thought was. Maybe all this time she was right?" after saying that I turned around to look at them.
I could see their eyes were filled with mixed emotions but when realisation hits hard their eyes widened when at my words.
Meera gulped hard before saying "But he loves her.... We have seen it right?"
"And they both were....!!"
"Mmm mmm maybe you're right but if Aarav could be this manipulative then what about his best friend? Do you think he will be a good one? And top of that Ayla had warned us but we didn't believed her"
They both looked confused "but I heard she's pregnant and she didn't even bother to say anything about that to us" Vani said making me glared at her.
"Do you really think she will tell us seriously? After all those shits I really wonder whether she will accept our apologies. She's doing the same just like what we did to her during our final year, she's also ignoring us and I can't blame her for that" I said while pacing around the room.
"We did so wrong to her. If only we listened to her for once she wouldn't be in this place" my lips wobble at that thought.
"How can we call ourselves her bestfriend when we did that to her when all she needed was us to believe her" Meera said. I can hear the guilt through her voice.
Why did we acted like that? Why did I acted like that?
"But how can we prove everyone that Arjun is not what he is. I mean even I can't still believe that" I looked at her "yet" Vani muttered under her breathe making me angry.
"Did you seriously gone nuts or what? Don't you remember when Ayla received those threatening notes and messages and for fuck sakes those hickeys" I said to her making her realise.
Meera sat down with a thud while slapping her head "Ayoo!!! Ayooo!! What we? oh no what I did? what I fucking did to her?" she cried historically making me frown.
I sat down next to her "Hey calm down it's ok we will talk to her? Hmmm ok?"
She looked at her me sorrowfully "I.... I... oh go" she shake her head while slapping her head again making me stop her from doing that "I freaking slapped her. Did you hear me? I freaking slapped her. She tried so hard to tell us but what I did in return? I didn't even bother to give her a chance to explain"
I was too stunned to react. I slumped down my shoulders as I don't know what to say to her. We all kept looking at each other with guilt filled eyes and helplessness. We don't even know how to ask our little for forgiveness.
Will she even look at us? I doubt so.
Meera lied down on the bed with a defeated face while I started to process what we did to her.
I rubbed my face with a defeated sigh of all those wrongdoings we did to her. I can't forgive myself for never gaving her a chance to talk. To think about no one from our gang gave her the choice to explain anything. For heaven's sake we didn't even listen to her side of the story even when she tried we didn't listened. I gulped down the lump on my throat, thinking hard those and also thinking how to make this right.
"To confirm this we have to check" I looked at Meera.
I nodded my head agreeing to her "You're right. We can't just jump into conclusion too but I have a bad feeling about this"
"Don't be. Nothing will happen" Vani assured me though it didn't help much but still I tried not to show it on my face.
We don't have much time to begin with, we have to get into it "So, now where we have to begin with" Meera asked while looking at us.
Now or never we have to do it, I took a breathe before saying "Her parents' home"
-----------------------------------
Sneak peek:
"I knew I knew I was so wrong to do that to you and also knew they would kill me when they found out about my deeds, I know I can't ask for forgiveness now but but..." I struggled for words, releasing a sharp breath. I think I have finally realized that I would rather die than live because I betrayed you.
I can't say those words out loud. I could feel my tears slipping out of my eyes. I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have trusted my best fri- oh no he's not even my best friend. Maybe for me he was but he didn't think of me like that. I was so stupid to believe him over you my love.
If only I knew the truth before and what you had gone through. I looked at your bulging stomach maybe still going through it.
"But what" your harsh voice brought me back to the reality. I sucked a deep breathe thinking how once it was filled with so much love was now filled with so much disgust and hate in them.
I looked into your eyes and said those words that I was forced to say which broke my heart into pieces. "Love him Ayla, give hime a chance. He.... He is not that bad" I swallowed hard when I looked at her face. If looks can kill I would be under six feet now buried alive. I really wanted to help her but I know she won't accept anything from me. Nor does I have power to bring him down, not when he has my family.
Also I know I don't belong in this world anymore not when everyone hates me, especially when I look into my love's eyes the hate she has for me is the one stings my heart more. I know I don't deserve any of them. I accept my defeat. I'm only doing this all to save them from him.
"Please don't let him do that to you. Don't anger him. Survive. I know you can do that. My Ayla is stronger than she thinks"
She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion not understanding what I'm trying to say.
"Only you can bring him down, Ayla. Take your time and get your justice" I whispered those words to her, saying that I walked away from there.
From everyone!
From her life!
From this world!
