Truth

All the 5 came out of the movie theater, and from there they reached a restaurant. Every one of them felt bad for Aarav, they looked at him and thought although he started to move on today whatever they heard, after that, it would be more difficult to convince Aarav.

Where Aarav couldn't help to forget the moment when he met Anamika on the road, it wasn't a pre-planned meeting, neither of them accepted this as it was scribbled on her face too the way she was staring at him. He read her eyes and how much pain it was hiding beneath the depth of those streams.

Mishika looked at Deb then followed by Karan and Radhika, everyone shared a secret glance, so Deb among them took the initiative.

“Aarav, “ Deb kept his hand on his shoulder. His mere touch brought him back to the real world. He opens his eyes 

“We know what is going through you , we could understand but now what will you do next ?” 

Aarav motioned his eyes over his empathetic face of Deb , he nodded his head “ Don’t know …I ju…”Aarav closed his eyes and restarted “ I just wanted to meet her once just once “ Aarav’s voice choked 

Radhika come and hugged Aarav , she patted his shoulder and back “ don’t worry everything will be alright “

Karan smiled gently while Mishika nodded her head in hope .

“But how would we contact Anamika, you just saw her today , we even don't know whether she is living in Delhi or she came here for any kind of work to do, “ Ded said while exchanging a glance of their groups 

“Yes , Deb is right even though I also thinking the same “ Karan said with seriousness 

Radhika looked at Deb then Aarav tried to normalise himself .

Mishika here thinning something suddenly a ray of hope flashed in her face” eureka !!!” she snapped her finger 

“Why are you smiling Mishika?”” Deb asked with a little frown on his forehead 

“I get an Idea, !””

“What kind of idea ?”’ Radhika asked 

Mishika turned her face towards Aarav and said with one of the best smiles she ever has” Aarav you said that there is a friend…what’s her name..yeah..Sunaina..she is the best friend of Anamika even though she is too closer to you !””

“Yes Mishika but why are asking about her?””

“ Do you still have her number ?””

“Yes I have “

“Then just  dialled her number and called her you idiot, she will definitely go to help us “

Aarav thought about Mishika’s suggestion , and a soothing smile arose on his lips too .

Everyone started to grow a hope ….

It’s been a long time when Aarav didn't have any talk with Sunaina…on the 5th ring ..a familial voice received the call 

“Hello!!” the voice said 

“Hello, sunaina, Aarav is here!”’

“Aarrraaavv!!!! Youuu!!! After so long …how are you yaaar ???” 

Everyone heard the gigging of Sunaina  

“I’m fine, how are you ?”” Aarav’s heart filled up with happiness hearing one of the old friends of his friend groups 

“I’m absolutely fine , it feels good to hear you after a long time “

“Same is here , “

“Btw what are doing right now ?””

“finally get a job at a company 10 days later I’ll join there “  

“Reallllyy…It’s a good newsman…congratulations “ 

Sunaina sounded genuinely happy from inside 

“Thanks,..what do you do now ?”’

“I get a job in a school,”

“That’s great , you always love teaching “Aarav smiled and continued “btw how is everyone , umm..your parents ?”

“Everyone is fine Aarav …what about your parents and sister ?”

“They are fine too “Aarav took a breath and looked at his friends sitting in front of him at that period and said “ h…ho…how..is Anamika ?””

Sunaina suddenly paused after hearing the name ..and the said “ Aarav you still didn't forget about her !””

“How is she ?? and how are her father and mother and her brother ?”” Aarav control his emotions 

“Aarav everyone of them is just fine and healthy by heaven “

“Where is she ?””

“Aarav?”””

“Please…Sunaina I get to know everything today …I meet Krishnendu here at Delhi with his wife …!”’

Sunaina was quiet for a while.

Getting no response Aarav continue “ I meet Anamika here in Delhi before meeting Krishnendu here in the evening “

“Aarav “

“Sunina please just tell me the remaining truth …I’m dying to talk to her just once please ..” he sounded helpless

Everyone felt the heavy voice of Aarav as he was controlling his emotions.

“Aarav , I promise to Anamika not to let you know anything about her but as you get to know the truth…so there isn't any use to hide the truth ..don’t know what is destiny or just a coincidence as you meet Anu there in the Delhi ..if you two people are together nobody will be as happy as become me …okay I’m telling you everything …

After you walked away from her wedding night to Anu, she totally broke down. She wasn't ready for marriage, as she wanted to continue her studies. She was a bright student and could have a bright future. Don’t know from where Krsihnedhu reached there and started to shout at Anu..he said that to her his father did so many things for her family …now their family gave hand to their in his hand …Anamika has to marry him unless he will insult her father from his worst, either her father returns all those amounts of money which his father gave him or she marries him in happily…choice is her. Anu was totally in dilemma even Krishnendu taunted her about the day when he caught You and Anu together on the teacher's day near a small lake after that in her brother's marriage ceremony, in the parking slot when you were kissing Anu. “

But all of a sudden Debakar , Anu’s elder brother reached there and he fought with Krishnendu when he said an abusive word to Anu, even though he was drunk at that time.

Debakar, took away Anu from there and broke the marriage, he promise the groom's side soon he will return all the money to them, Anamika’s father was on the verge of losing sense and was about to get 3rd attacked but then Debakar Bahaiya made his parents understand and assured them that his sister is only 17 still she is a teenage girl. If she wants to study, then nobody should prevent her. It's a matter of the life of his sister. Maybe in his case, he couldn't do anything but he won't spoil his younger sister's life unless he couldn't forgive him in his lifetime. Being a brother he will take all the responsibilities of her. He is an IITian so he gets a high amount of salary …it will never affect them. Even the police were there so the marriage wasn't held. 

But Anamika’s father took a word from her, that in the future she will never meet Aarav, not even try to contact him unless she will lose her father for lifetimes, as only for him their family has to go through so many taunts from relatives, even in the future it will be his father who will choose the groom of his daughter. That’s it.

Aarav’s although you saw her due to her word to her family she is bound by circumstances, she is helpless Aarav …I don’t know what should I say to you …but whatever you did don’t break her this time. She stood up after gathering lots of courage, whatever she had gone through was too much. You have remembered that when Anu’s father caught you two how he beats her and he stopped her study despite hse was topper of the class, and was in her final of the school 

I didn't tell you because Anu made me promise to her as she didn't want you to suffer more. Her family insulted your father so much even though it was you whose life was spoiling because of her. She now couldn't handle it anymore. All she wanted you are happy or not but she use to ask me about you but didn't have that dare to talk to you due to her father's words which she gives to him …Still now she didn't think about anyone else except you …don't know how many days..as his father fixed her marriage with a Bengali boy he wouldn't ever accept any Non-Bengali  for his daughter  “

Drops of tears fell on the cheeks of Aarav, everyone looked at him still he uttered a thing not till an inch from his sight as if he got paralysed.
