Chapter 45

Sagar's POV



" But how will you solve the problem if you don't know it? " Maurvi asked me.

" Don't know... " I said.

" Then make it your mission to know... once you know let me know... I will help you. "

" Really?? " Both Gautam and I asked her and she nodded.

" Awww so cute. I really love you. " I said to her and Gautam kicked me so hard, that I fell on the floor. Both Maurvi and I were shocked and then I realised why he kicked me and I burst out laughing. I said love you to his girl. She was so sweet so it came out of my mouth.

" Look at your face man. You have gone crazy after her. I love her but not the way you love her. You stupid, you know I have loved only one girl for my entire life. " I said.

" Sorry!! Of course, I know, it is just that, I... "

" Got jealous...... You are whipped man. Oh god Maurvi what have you done to my friend??? " I asked.

" No, I am serious Sagar Ji... If she is so angry with you, that means she has feelings for you and you did something that hurt her so bad that she doesn't even want to see your face. She would not have been angry if she didn't care..." she said.

She had a point. I now wanted to tell her the reason I know but as Gautam was here, I didn't want to tell.

I knew how much Gautam and all my friends loved me... They would have fought with Sahil. I didn't want them to know. I didn't want them to fight over me. As it is Sahil was feeling too guilty.

" But I didn't do any such thing..." I said.

" Maybe you didn't realise....... Just find out..... Bye hook or crook......." She said with a smile.

I would talk to her later and request her not to tell Gautam about it.

" Hey... Gautam, will you please tell, where did you find her? "

" In the house next to mine...... " He smiled.

" Lucky you... Do take very good care of her. And you dear I will surely find out and will get back to you... Just remember that you promised to help me.... "

" I won't... Don't worry and good luck." She said sweetly to me and I hugged both of us and said goodbye.



Damini's POV



It has been 7 days since he left. I was sitting with my work opened in front of me. I was trying to concentrate but my mind was somewhere else.

" Ok... I know... You want to be with someone else... and as he is not here...you are missing him... But that is not fair. We are also friends. " Samar said mischievously and my eyes became as large as they could.

" What?? What... do you. mean?" I asked hesitantly.

" I meant what I said... I know you are missing him... "

" Him?? .... Whom?? "

" You know... Whom I am talking about... Of course Sagar........ who else? " He said winking at me. I blushed a bit.

" How??... I .. mean..."

" I know what you mean. I just know. Sahil has been my friend since forever... I know that Sagar has always been in love with someone ... He loved her like anything. His life almost stopped when that girl left him...He looked for her everywhere. He was still looking for her, then you came back to India. " he said looking into my eyes.

" Samar... "

" I just didn't know it was you...till Sahil... I mean Sagar told me ."

" I had my reasons to leave... "

" I don't know your reasons... I just know he loves you like a crazy man. He is too possessive about you... He was annoyed with me all the time, I would have done something to ease out this tension between us if only I knew... When I told him that I don't want to marry you... He was so happy... I swear... I thought Sahil was behaving weirdly. Now I understand."

" You told him that you don't want to marry me? " I asked him.

" Yes... Dad should not have done that... Don't worry we will do something. I will talk to dad. Though I don't know your reasons to leave him... But I know that you love him too. "

" I don't know... " I said.

" But I know... You should have seen yourself when you realised that he was going to Delhi driving the car by himself. You were so worried about him. "

" Ok... I know my feelings for him but I am really scared about telling him. "

" Why?? " he asked and I told him everything. He heard very patiently.

" Listen Damini... It must have been Sahil... Sagar is not like that... He has always loved only one girl... and you are that girl. "

" It is not just that... "

" I know...and let me tell you... No one can stop you from marrying the person you love... How can someone dictate as to with whom can you fall in love and marry. I will protect you against them. You don't need to be scared of any of them. "

" I know all that but my parents were scared after that brutality. I am scared for my parents and him. Samar ...as you said, he has already suffered a lot. I don't want him to be in danger just because some of the people have lost their mind. "

" Rest assured dear... My dad supported your parents through all those things and he is very influential now... he has a hold in our community. I will tell him everything. I know that dad will not let them harm you or Sagar. I promise you Damini that I will support you... I will not let them bother you. "

" But... "

" Do you think Sagar can't handle it? Sagar and Sahil belong to a very influential family... Their family is very broad-minded too. We will make sure nothing goes wrong... Please don't break his heart... He is crazy about you. "

" But... If anything happens to him? He belongs to another caste. "

" I will not let that happen... It doesn't matter if he is from another caste. You can't fall in love according to the caste system. "

" But .. uncle didn't listen to you that day....."

" But .. "

" I hate this word... But. Stop using it yaar."

" B... Samar... "

" Listen yaar...I am sorry ... I know, I am very handsome and good looking, a good lawyer, dependable nice to talk to and funny and you are extremely beautiful who comes with a long list of qualities, but still I don't want to marry you. Sorry about that... " He said very seriously.

I found it very funny so I smiled at him.

" Let me tell you... I also like a girl from another caste... I liked her when I saw her for the first time. I think I am in love with her... I don't even know if she ever noticed me or not. But I intend to have her in my life." He said and I smiled at him.

" Who is she ??? Do I know her? "

" I don't think so... But I will tell you soon. " He said with a smile...

" What will you say to uncle?? "

" I don't know yet but I guess we will have to talk to your parents too. When are they coming? "

" They will be here next week. "

" Let's make a plan and tell them. You can't get weak in front of them Damini... You are under no obligation... Whatever dad did to help you, he did for his friends. There is no obligation in friendship. If you will do something for me will you oblige me? No... So free yourself from any kind of such thoughts. It is your life.. you can't ruin it. I will not let you do it... You need to be strong... You need to fight all the demons... We have to stand for ourselves. We have to do it for our love. " He said and I nodded.

" Great.... just great... " Someone said and we turned.... towards the door.

The door opened.... and he walked in... My heartbeat increased but then I realised that he was Sahil.

" Sagar?? " Samar asked...

" Sahil... " Sahil said.

" Hey, buddy... Good to see you after so long. Why was your phone usually switched off? "

" I had to go somewhere with my dad... And got busy.. "

" Is everything alright?? " Samar asked.

" Hmm yes... Is everything alright here? " Sahil asked looking at us suspiciously.

" Yes why?? "

" You both looked quite comfortable and cosy together...talking about the need to fight all the demons..... standing for yourselves and that you would have to do it for your love???" He said.
