Chapter 16

Taani realizes what she is doing so tries to tug her hand away but Maya tightens her hold on it, Taani is breathing heavily little feeling overwhelmed with he was Maya is looking at her, she looks down not being to take the intensity of the moment.

Maya is liking the affect she has on Taani, she puts a finger on her chin makes makes her look up, she takes a step closer to Taani making Taani's eyes widen, "does me being so close make you uncomfortable?" Maya asks in a small deep voice, Taani licks her lips nervously and shakes her head making Maya's eyes darken with lust. She wraps a hand around Taani's waist and pulls her closer, "still not uncomfortable?" Maya asks, her lips inches away from Taani's, Taani shakes her head breathing heavily.

"Good to know" Maya steps back making Taani look at her with a dazed look, "huh?" She let's out feeling weirdly dazed, not understanding why Maya stepped away. "Woh kya he na, someone had shouted at me saying how disgusting it is to make out in the open, shameless really" Maya says with a smirk and turns back towards the way they come from, making Taani's cheeks go bright red.

Maya holds a hand out to her, "Chalein?", Taani looks at her hand with a moment's hesitation but thn slides her hand in Maya's. They walk back hand in hand, not saying a word.

Maya drops her at her room and goes to hers. Taani comes in and sees that Shreya is sleeping so she quickly goes to the bathroom to change but stops as she hears her phone vibrate. She checks to see a msg from Swayam, "Meet me on the terrace, muje kuch urgent baat karni he", Taani thinks ab kya ho gaya hoga, she quickly goes to the terrace but sees Rey standing there, she gets furious and is about to go back but Rey stops her, "Taani please, ek baar baat toh sun lo" Rey has tears in his eyes which make Taani stop in her tracks, "Rey bhai kaha he?", "So rha he, I knew you wouldn't come if I had texted from my phone" Rey confesses.

"Rey why? Why are you behaving like this?" Taani asks, "Taani I can't lose you, I love you dammit, how can you move on so quickly?" he asks with anguished look, "Rey its been more thn 2 months since we broke up, its high time we both move on" Taani tries to reason with him, "I can't, I don't want to Taani, I don't want to move on from you, please give me another chance, I can't live without you yaar" Rey begs, seeing him like this makes Taani emotional as well. "Rey try to understand, I can't be with you anymore", "why not huh? Is it because of that guy? Do you not love me anymore? Is that it?" Rey asks angrily, "Rey off course I love you, I will always love you-", "thn what's the problem huh?", "Because I am not in love with you anymore Rey, I am not."

"What do you even mean by that?" Rey says grabbing her elbow, "Rey leave my hand right now" but Rey only tightens his grip, "Rey you are hurting me again, please leave me" Taani begs, "No Taani, its you who is hurting me, do you have any idea how hard it is to see you with someone else? Why can't you see how much I love you" Taani is struggling now which is making Rey more angry, "Rey leave me" Taani says pushing Rey but Rey doesn't budge and Taani slips as she was standing near the stairs making her hand twist, she screams in pain. Rey quickly steadies her, Taani is crying out in pain and trying to push Rey away.

People quickly come up hearing the scream, Maya was the first one as she is a very light sleeper and she got scared when she heard Taani's pained voice. Seeing Taani struggling in Rey's grip makes Maya see red, she pushes Rey away from Taani and punches him breaking his nose. The guards pull him back when he tries to go towards Taani, "I didnt mean to hurt you Taani, it was an accident"

After punching him, she goes towards Taani, the gang enters and Swayam sees Taani crying holding her hand and Rey holding his bleeding nose. "What the fu*k is happening here?" He asks the guards, "Hume chheekh suni, yaha aaye toh dekha yeh ladka us ladki ke sath zabardasti kar rha tha" a guard says pointing towards Rey, the whole gang is shocked hearing this, they can't believe that Rey would do something like that. "Aapko koi galatfehmi hui hogi, our friend won't do something like that" Sharon says.

Swayam's focus is on Taani, Maya is gently caressing Taani's face, "Shhh, let me see your hand Taani, I will be careful I swear" Maya takes Taani's hand in her hand making Taani let out a small scream. Swayam quickly walks over to them, "Araam se, kya kar rhi he aap?!" Swayam says trying to push Maya away, "Her hand is broken, we need to take her to the medical room" Maya says looking at Swayam. Taani hugs Swayam seeing him, "bhai bahot pain ho rha he" she cries in his arms. Swayam's eyes swell up hearing her cries, "Taani, bachcha we need to go to the medical room, its all gonna be fine okay? Come on" he gently tries to hold her without hurting her.

"Taani, come on, we need to get it treated fast" Maya makes Taani break the hug and holds her uninjured hand and tugs her, making Taani look at Swayam, "aap aaoge mere sath bhai?" She asks tearfully, "Off course bachcha, I am never leaving you out of my sight ever again." Swayam says putting a hand around Taani's back and the trio turn to leave, "Swayam I swear mera use hurt karne ka intention nai tha, it was an accident"
Swayam leaves Taani and comes towards Rey, "Mene kaha tha na ki dur reh usse?" Swayam says furious, Taani is still crying in pain which is making Swayam more angry and he punches Rey.

"Swayam!" Sharon screams, Swayam doesn't pay her any heed, "if I see you even in the same room as her, I will make you regret it" Swayam leaves saying this.

Maya, Shreya and Swayam are waiting outside the medical room, "The elbow is broken, we have given her some painkillers and wrapped her elbow in a plaster, she should stay here tonight, she is quite scared and disturbed." The dr says before telling them that they can meet Taani.

"Abhi bhi bahot pain ho rha he?" Swayam asks taking a seat next to Taani, "Nahi, the pain meds are kicking in" Taani says shakily.

"Taani kya hua tha?" Shreya asks with concern, Taani looks towards her and thn at Maya who is looking barely in control. "Woh R-Rey had texted me from Bhai's phone, calling me to meet him on the terrace, we had a fight and I was leaving when he grabbed my hand, I begged him to but he wouldn't and I got scared seeing him so angry so I started strugglin-" Taani bursts out crying, "Shhh" Maya goes towards her and envelops her in a hug, "bas, you are fine now and as for that guy he is going to f*cking regret whatever he did to you, he isn't even going to look at you again, I promise you okay?" Maya says breaking the hug and looking down at Taani with promise in her eyes, "No more crying tho, come on lay down" Maya says helping her lay down and thn covers her with the blanket.

Swayam is looking furious, he doesn't know what to do, more thn anything is angry at himself. "Bhai?", "haan bachcha?" Swayam says, "will you stay with me tonight?" She asks in small tone, thinking that maybe Swayam might say no. "You are an idiot if you think you even have to ask, I am not going anywhere" Swayam replies.

"I am just going to be outside, awaaz lagana if you guys need anything" Maya says stepping out of the room with Shreya following her. "Go to your room and sleep, don't worry about her, me aur Swayam he yaha" Maya says looking Shreya, Shreya hugs her, "How can someone be so violent towards such a sweet soul di?" Shreya asks, "Because people are sick, the only thing they care about is themselves but I am not going to let anything like that happen to her ever again." Maya promises.
