Chapter 102 - Confrontation

Strengthening himself on the chair, Saaransh look at Vansh, Riya and then at Shanaya busy in eating. They were seated on one of the window tables of Paradise hotel and, the moon shining in the sky was just behind Shanaya.

He kept looking at them as if waiting for something.

Yes, he was waiting for the correct time to ask something he knew was going to change everything.

"Vihaan is avoiding me, isn't he?" dropping the question on them as if it was the most simple thing he had asked, he went back to his food, but, his eyes noticing everything.

Immediately, three of them stopped eating for a second but resumed without glancing at any of the three.

But, it was more than enough for Saaransh. The way three of them reacted the same gave only one thing.

Every of the three knew, but, they knew individually..

He knew something was wrong the moment he had proposed Shanaya.

He had observed Vihaan avoiding looking at both of them or talking about Shanaya with him.

Hell, he even had stopped talking with him at great length.

Saaransh was not foolish to think Vihaan's 'hatred' for Shanaya to be the cause.

"Why would he do that?" questioning rather than answering, vansh spoke, trying to handle the situation.

"Fuck, bro is ruing everything" thinking to himself, Vansh prayed Saaransh to believe it.

"I do not know. You tell me if you know" looking deep in Vansh's eyes, Saaransh asked.

But the tone he used gave away the secret, that he already knew.

.............................................................

"Thank you for dinner. It was delicious." entering the Mansion with Saaransh, Shanaya smiled, looking at him.

Riya and vansh were a few feet away from them as if they were trying to give them some privacy.

Saaransh smiled at her, even though his mind was churning with questions and many other things he had for Vihaan.

Only he knew how he had driven back to the mansion.

"Pleasure is all mine" keeping the smile on his face, Saaransh replied.

"Are you okay?" searching for any signs, Shanaya enquired while looking at his face.

Being with him for the last fifteen days had made Shanaya observed him closely and, she knew something was disturbing him.

She could sense his fake smile and, it was troubling her too.

"Oh, yes, just some work issues." roaming his hands in his hair, Saaransh spoke.

But, he did not give any smile for there was no longer the need to fake.

He did not want to let her know anything that was going in his mind.

"Okay if you do not want to, but remember this, I am there for you. Talk to me whenever you want to." meaning every word, Shanaya looked again at him.

They saw Riya and vansh retiring to their bed, leaving them alone in the hall.

They had just said good night to each other when Shanaya's foot stuck at the bottom of the couch and, she found herself falling.

Except, it did not happen and, she found herself against Saaransh, his lips on her cheeks.

Saaransh froze along with Shanaya. He was not trying to do any such thing and, it happened on itself while pulling her to save her from falling.

Vihaan was talking on the phone when he started descending the stairs to the hall only to stop.

Standing in the hall, Shanaya was leaning against Saaransh, her face hidden from Vihaan's view, but, it looked as if they were kissing, kissing on the lips.

The sight before him took every ounce of self-control he had and he spoke harshly, more than necessary" Talk you later" and hung up the phone.

The sound of Vihaan's voice made Saaransh and Shanaya aware of the situation and Shanaya strengthen immediately.

Shanaya almost tipped when she back off hurriedly the moment she heard Vihaan.

All she wanted was to be away from Vihaan, for she could feel his angry eyes murdering Saaransh and her together.

"Hey, bro" breaking the awkward silence, Saarnash spoke, but it was not his usual voice.

Something was missing.

Not looking at Saaransh, Vihaan strode back to his room, the sight enough for him to kill Saaransh.

"Fuck you, fuċk you, fuċk you Saaransh!" cursing, blabbering, murmuring in anger, he took long steps to reach his room and shut the door off with a loud voice.

"What's wrong?" opening the door of Vihaan's room, Saaransh enquired.

"Leave me alone"pivoting, looking at him with red eyes, Vihaan spat, giving a damn about his tone and, marched toward his wine cellar.

"Why should I?" Saaransh was not going to back away.

"I fuċkɨnġ do not want to talk to you!" pointing his finers at Saaransh, Vihaan snapped.

"And, why the hell is it!" shouting for the first time, Saaransh questioned back.

"Can't you fuċkɨnġ leave me alone!" hitting the glass on the table, Vihaan shouted back.

"I will leave you alone the moment you will answer me!" shouting back, Saaransh ignored everything else.

Vihaan paced in the room, trying to calm himself, but nothing happened. The sight of his best friend with the girl he wants was not helping much.

"Why the hell did you steal what was mine!" poking Saaransh in his ċhėst, Vihaan looked at him.

Scoffing, Saaransh looked at him in disbelief.

"What did I steal from you?" narrowing his eyes, Saaransh asked.

Vihaan looked at him with the same angry eyes. Gone was the moment for hiding his feeling, for the arrow had already left the quiver.

Creating the distance between them, Vihaan moved back while looking at Saaransh and spoke accusingly" You stole Shanaya from me!"

Before Saaransh could speak anything, he shouted while pounding the table with his right hand that had glass in it" She was mine!"

He did not give a damn to the blood that bleeds out from his hand, the red drops that fall on the floor.

All he did was stared at Saaransh and, continued" We kissed for bloody sake! I had already marked her as mine!"

But, he stopped the moment he looked at shocked, hurt Saaransh. Gone was the anger toward him, replaced by the guilt, the guilt of hurting his best friend.

Vihaan murmured looking at him, his voice heavy with the guilt" I told you to be away from her. I told you, it will break your heart."

But, he looked away when he could not see Saaransh any more. Keeping his eyes away from him, he roams his hands in his hair and, murmured to himself "Why the hell did you make me the Villain in your life!"

Saaransh walked toward Vihaan with no emotions on his face, not even anger or shock that was in his face a minute ago.

He did not say a word on reaching Vihaan, did not punch him or swear at him.

Standing against Vihaan who was not facing him anymore, Saaransh yanks off the handkerchief from his pocket and taking Vihaan bleeding hand, tied it over his hand.

God! he hated himself at the moment. He had hurt his best friend most maliciously and there his best friend was, playing the Doctor.

But that did not last long.

Vihaan was seeing Saaransh being warm but, the next moment, he felt the pain on his lips as Saaransh, punched him hard.

"ouch!!" Vihaan ġrȯȧnėd, for the punch was hard, as in hard.

Touching his lips, Vihaan feels the pain and, he winced. But, along with pain, he felt something wet and, he knew his lips too were bleeding.

God damn it! the man was too strong for a lawyer.

Seeing him covered in blood, not much but yes a little, Saaransh breath hard and closing the distance between them, he spoke while pointing his finger against his ċhėst:" That was for hiding it from me."

Saaransh did not stand there longer, he pivoted and walked toward the gate, but he stopped in midway. Turning a little, he looked deep in Vihaan's eyes and spoke or challenged" You want her? Fight for her, as I will." and walked away, leaving Vihaan all messed up.
