Rey walked into the dusty building and gagged a little. It smelt of urine and there were broken beer bottles everywhere. As he took his steps he just wondered why would Ruhi call Swayam to such a place and above that how did she even know such a place? He kept walking and heard muffled noises from the floors above.
He decided to go upstairs and check what was happening. Steadily, he set his steps on the stairs one by one and looked up, curiosity and fear filling those hazel eyes. Out of the inquisition, he failed to notice the large piece of metal randomly kept on the stairs. When he lifted his leg to set it on the the next step, he lost his balance and was about to fall when he clutched the railing of the staircase and regained his balance. He looked horrified when the clang of the metal reached to his ears. He wanted to run away but knew he couldn't. He wouldn't. He was responsible for all this mess.
"Swayam?" He heard a voice he never wanted to hear again, a voice that belonged to the person who tried to snatch his best friend from him. He wanted to kill her then, but he knew, she was helpless and infatuated.
He desperately wanted to hide somewhere but till then the witch was already at the end of the staircase, staring at him.
"Tum?" She asked him, confused. "Swayam kahan hai?" She asked again, making him flustered at the situation. He wanted to shake the hell out of her make her realize that Swayam is not hers. He took a step towards her and she raised her palm, halting him at his place.
"Woh Nahin aaya na? Main abhi uncle ko call karke batati Hun ke tum logon be kya Kiya hai." She said as her nose flared with rage and she rushed on the floor and picked ho her phone.
Rey rushed towards her and snatched the phone away. She glared at him and screamed at him to return it but he ignored her. Ruhi came forward to snatch it from him and he held it high to prevent her from taking it. She was about to take it when the mobile fell from Rey's hand and was disoriented. Ruhi was furious, she turned to him and looked at him with those red eyes. He had to admit, he was damn scared.
Ruhi jerked him and said "Tum! Tunhaari wajah se hi yeh sab kuch hota hai. Uss din mujhe ghar drop Kiya, taake mujhe Swayam se dur kar sako. Phir uss Sharon ko bachaane ke liye Swayam ko sab kuch bata diya. Phir Sharon aur Swayam ko ek saath Jaane diya, aur aaj, Swayam ko rok kar Khushi aagaye! Tum humesha se mera kaam bigaadte aaye ho na. Ab dekho." She looked around like a maniac, searching for something from which she could hurt him. She smiled wickedly as she saw a broken bottle of beer and picked it up and aimed it on Rey.
Rey was damn scared, Ruhi was behaving like a maniac. He moved back in an attempt of defending himself, but she only stepped forward.
"Ruhi, pagal mat bano!" Rey screamed.
"Mein pagal Hun!" She screamed back and started laughing. Rey was totally creeped out.
She raised her hand to hit him with the broken glass, when something hard hit her on the head and she held her head, falling down on the ground. Rey saw Kriya standing in front of him as soon as Ruhi collapsed on the floor, glaring at Ruhi.
"Kriya?" He looked at her with confusion. She shifted his attention to him and her eyes softened and they looked at each other. Both lost in each other's eyes, forgetting the world existing outside. And forgetting the situation they were present in.
"Aap apne aap ko hero samajhte ho?!" She shouted on him. Rey was taken aback by her sudden change in attitude.
"Kya?" He asked, confused.
"Aur nahi to kya... Yahan kisi ko bina bataaye aana Zaruri tha? Aap itne careless kaise hosakte to Reyaansh!" She yelled at him. It irked him to hear her say his full name, she was really angry.
"Kriya... Tumhe kaise pata chalta ki Mein yahaan Hun?" He asked ignoring her questions.
"Sirf calls nai hote duniya Mein. Messages bhi hote hain, Swayam ke phone par iss ke hazaaron messages the." She said, looking at Ruhi with eyes full of hatred.
She looked up to look at him, coming closer to her. He stopped midway and asked her. "Tumhe yahaan aana Zaruri tha woh bhi akele?!" Anger evident in his voice.
"To kya karti, aapko yahaan par rehne deti, woh bhi isske saath?" She asked, equally angry.
"Kriya, Mein tumhaare liye itna important kyun hun?! Huh? Batao?" He asked her, resuming his walk towards her.
"Kyun? Batao Kriya? Because you care for me?" He asked her, her gaze shifted to the floor as soon as those words left his mouth. She looked up and saw him standing a few feet away from her. But what she saw behind him shocked her to no ends.
Ruhi was holding a piece of broken wood and was about to hit Rey on the head.
"Rey!" Kriya screamed which caused Rey to look back and Ruhi directly hit Rey on his head which made him fall on the floor, Kriya rushed to his side before his head touched the ground and placed his head on her lap.
"Pagal ho gayi ho kya, agar kuch hojata to?" Kriya screamed at Ruhi, irrespective of her medical condition. Ruhi had a sudden change attitude, she started hyperventilating and muttering words to herself about how could she hurt someone.
"Yeh Mein kaise kar sakti Hun." She sad to herself.
"Ruhi, tum pagal ho." She muttered again.
"Ruhi, ruhi, ruhi." She kept muttering.
Kriya was too engrossed in Rey's condition to notice what was happening to her. Kriya traced her hand on Rey's face in fear and she asked him "Rey... Rey aap Theek hain na? Bahut zor se lagi?" She asked as she kept her hand on his forehead.
Rey held her hand between his and stared at Kriya for a while. "Tumne ab tak Nahin bataya ki Mein tumhaare liye itna important kyun Hun Kriya. Batao, mujhe jaan na hai." He asked her.
Kriya just stared at him, love reflecting for both of their eyes, slight tears in those four orbs, and she muttered. "Rey... Mein." She said.
"Bolo Kriya, Mein sun raha Hun." He said, his voice cracking.
"Because you care for me?" He asked.
Kriya looked at him as a tear escaped out of her eye. "No." She said making Rey gaze at her with confusion.
"Because, I love you. Mein aapse bahut pyaar karti Hun Rey." She said and smiled at him through the tears.
"Guys?" They heard, Swayam's voice echoed in their ears. They immediately looked back to see Swayam standing there with the whole gang behind him. They were looking at something beyond them, they looked forward to see Ruhi sitting in a corner and cursing herself.
The paramedics reached there and so did VP sir, he looked at the surroundings and attended Ruhi first. The paramedics dragged her out of the room while she was still in the state of shock. The gang attended Rey and checked if he had any injury. The log did not really effect him as Ruhi missed his head.
The VP approached them and said "Sorry guys, Ruhi ki wajah se, phir tum logon ko takleef hui. Aaj Mein Ruhi ko America bhej raha Hun, woh kabhi tum logon ki zindagii Mein nai aayegi. Aur uska apne aap se aise baatein karna aur apne aap ko curse karna uski bimaari Ka hissa hai, sorry." He told them and exited the place.
The gang looked at each other and sighed in relief.
Rey held Kriya's hand and Kriya looked at him shocked. She tried to get him we hand out of his grip but failed. They were both having an eye lock when suddenly Sharon screamed.
"Guys! Musical!" All of them looked at her and rushed out of the building and into their respective cars.
Done.

Sorry guys, the ending might be a little abrupt. I was in a hurry. I wrote a confession, even though I don't want one. I don't know why. This is my prediction of what can happen after reading all the posts on the IF.
Please comment.
