Chapter 25

Rohit's POV



I dropped Sia and his parents at their place. I was going mad to see her crying because of that man... I stopped myself from breaking every single bone in his body. How dare he touch her and say those things to her?? I wanted to cut off his tongue and feed it to dogs.

She was so shocked and felt ashamed. Though she didn't have to feel ashamed of those lies but still looked as if she wanted to get away from everyone's piercing eyes. I wanted to hide her from everyone. My feisty warrior looked shattered today and I hated it. That is the reason she doesn't trust men.

Oh God!!! I was going crazy about her. She was looking so beautiful... as fresh as a daisy. I was pleasantly surprised to see her in Sumit's engagement party. I wanted to take her in my arms and kiss her till she understood what I felt for her, how intense my feelings were for her.

I don't know how, but I would have to make her fall for me... I would not have it any other way... She was my feisty warrior. I wanted to keep fighting with her for the rest of my life.

She looked so shattered with what happened. I wanted to take all her pain away by engulfing her in my arms when her parents went inside but I controlled my urge as She was already upset and I didn't want her to get angry at me. Moreover, her parents could have felt offended.

But who was the tall and handsome man, she was with at that time?? Where was he when all that happened?

She was very comfortable with him. How was he related to her? I kept thinking about her till I slipped into the slumber.

********

I reached the office and saw her working in her cabin. She looked beautiful, but a bit upset.

" Good morning beautiful... What's up?? "

She looked away from her work and looked at me with a small smile.

" Nothing made some new designs. "

" Ok great... Chalo I will give you a piece of good news... "

" What?? " she looked at me.

" No, It's a good news... So You need to smile. " I said and walked towards my cabin. She followed me there out of curiosity.

" Tell me the news first.. " she said.

" Smile... " I was very persistent so she finally shook her head and gave me a smile... "

" That's like a good girl... Ok, so the good news is that Bhai and Priya are coming tonight. " the moment I said that a cute smile came on her pink petal-like lips.

The smile lit up her face I wanted to kiss her.

" Wow!! That is really good news... I missed her. " She said and again her eyes got moist.

I could not take it anymore and I pulled her in my arms. She was shocked but I had to make her understand that whatever it was... It is over.

" Sia ... Please yaar... You are my feisty warrior... You can't be like this. It's ok, let it be... Is he so important in your life that he affects it so badly?? " My voice was getting hoarse with emotions.

" He is nothing to me... " she said but her tears started flowing.

" Then why are you so affected till now... Why does it bother, what he said or did all those years ago?? "

" I hate him... Ok?? " she tried to get out of my arms but I didn't let her go.

" No, you are lying. " I said to infuriate her.

" Oh please... Shut up. How can you say that?? "

" He is so important to you that you want to spend the rest of your life like this. Look at your face as if you are mourning. "

" Please Rohit...I don't want to talk about it. But get one thing very clear... I just hate him." She said looking into my eyes. I could see she was very angry and was hurting. I wanted her to be normal

" I swear if you don't get normal, I will kill that man... I can't see you like this... "

" Why?? What is your problem? "

" I don't know... But it hurts me to see you suffer like this. I just know that I want you to be happy. I want to give you all the happiness of the world. "

I tightened arms around her and kissed her forehead.

" How do you expect me to be normal? He tried to get physical with me... He humiliated me yesterday. He was misbehaving and then told everyone that I was doing it. My family was humiliated because of that. "

" No Sia... Think positive ... You slapped him first as he misbehaved, when he tried to hit you back, I gave him a good beating. He was humiliated in front of everyone. Everyone knows you, Sia...you are such a sweet and nice girl. Nobody believed a single word of what he said. Even his cousin Sumit took your side. He fought his own family and relatives for you. As we all know what kind of a girl you are. " I cupped her face with my palm.

" But what if people... " She was saying but I did not let her complete that sentence.

" Trust me, Sia... We trust you. You need to be strong. If you behave like this then it means that he won and you lost. " she removed my hand from her face and pushed me on my shoulder to get out of my arms. I released her. She turned her back towards me.

" You don't know, what he did all those years ago... " she said all of a sudden.

I wanted her to get it off her chest to get rid of the burden she was carrying around.

" Tell me I want to know... "

" No... "

" Tell me sia... As it is I already guesses from what he said in the coffee house. He chose her over you. He is the most foolish man in the world. " I said but she shook her head.

" Ok fine, don't tell me, I am going to kill him now. I can't take it anymore. I am getting frustrated to see you like this... "

" What... No. You can't do that. "

" I can, I am going. " I started walking towards the door of my cabin. She stopped me by pulling on my arm.

" Why are you so obstinate?? " She asked but I just didn't answer and took another step towards the door.

" Wait... Please don't get into all this. "

" I am already into it. I am going insane to see you like this... if you will not tell then I will kill him. I can't tolerate his presence in your mind. " She pulled my hand and took me back towards my table.

" Ok.. fine. We were in the same school. I had this huge and stupid crush on Aman. He got to know about my crush and we started talking on the phone with each other and later on, he invited me on a party along with Ruchi. I asked her and she came with me. The party was going on and I needed to use the washroom so I went to find one. I heard him talking to his friends. His friends asked him why did he invite me as I was a bit boring and quite plain according to them. They made fun of me and Aman even said that I was the most stupid girl in the world to think that he could be interested in me. "

" He laughed loudly and said It was easier this way as I already had a crush on him. He wanted Ruchi but could not talk to her so he targeted me. He wanted Ruchi to come but it was ok if he gets me free in the deal. He told about his plan to add some drug in our cold drinks and then have their way with us. His friends were laughing at that and were very excited about the plan. They all wanted to ruin us forever. They planned to even click the pictures and blackmail us later. I heard everything and felt pathetic... I was very angry with myself for being so naive and gullible. I was an idiot. I was planning my whole life with him and he used my feelings to manipulate me to introduce him to my very hot cousin and ruin our lives forever. " She waited for a few took a few deep breaths. I caught her hand in mine and patted it.

" I felt so sick the moment I heard him and I insisted that we come back home. Ruchi didn't want to come back, she threw many tantrums to gain attention but I was already numb to feel anything. I said That she could stay if she wanted but I was leaving. I knew she could not stay. Her dad would not allow her. She stomped her feet and followed me. Aman pleaded me to stay But he didn't know that I heard what he said to his friends. I came out of the party. He tried to talk to me again in school but I never talked to him again. " She said with tears flowing from her eyes.
