The road was dark with just few street lights giving really inadequate light ... not bothering about it , Raghav was driving the car in full speed ... why?? why do people always have to poke in others lives?? why do they enjoy rubbing salts on wounds??
Few minutes before..
"Hello Raghav", Prem Kapoor , Raghav's old friend greeted him ... As usual Raghav was busy working on his phone and hearing that voice which he could recognise anywhere anytime he looked up.. standing in front of him was his once-upon-a-time friend Prem Kapoor.. Raghav clenched his jaws to try and bury the anger that was surfacing on his heart.. he had forgotten everything but now with Prem.. the one who was responsible for his state was here and all the dried wounds were scratched..
Prem smirked on seeing the changes in Raghav's demeanor ... "I guess you are not happy seeing me here bro.."... Gritting his teeth while glaring at Prem with anger-filled eyes Raghav replied," Don't.. just don't call me bro.. "... Prem was enjoying the anger visible on Raghav's face and with sugar-coated voice said," If you're wondering what I am doing here then let me just tell you that I am here to meet you specially.. I know I'm not invited here but it was really urgent.."
Prem gestured the girl who was his secretary and she immediately pulled out an envelope and handed it to Prem.. "Me and Reena.. are getting married.. and you surely needed a personal invitation.. my special guest...", Prem handed the wedding invite to Raghav and turned to leave..
Pain.. it was a really small word to explain what Raghav felt.. the girl whom he loved, whom he trusted had not only broken his heart but now was getting married to the guy whom he once called his best-friend..
Anger surging in every ounce of his blood he left the venue after texting Sammy that he was leaving.. he ddn't want to let anyone see the totally broken Raghav Singhaania or that person had to face his wrath .. his only mask.. his anger...
Raghav was speeding his car and suddenly found a sharp turn coming ahead and he tried to control his car but due to high speed it was difficult and the car almost hit a tree.. luckily Raghav wasn't injured but his car faced damages.. he reinserted the key into the ignition and tried starting the car but nothing happened..
Getting out of the car he made his way to the bonnet.. then opening the hood and keeping it in place with the help of the prop-rod he began inspecting.. smoke blew out making him cough a bit.. this was way worse than what he thought..
Raghav pulled out his phone from his pocket and called up at his home , a servant picked up the phone and Raghav ordered him to arrange a car for him and send it to Hill road.. immediately..
Flashes of Prem's face were disturbing him and in his anger Raghav hit the front lower part of the car with his leg but that resulted in moving of the prop rod which made the hood drop straight on Raghav hand.. "Aahhh", he yelled in pain..
"Stop the car..!!", Kalpi instructed her driver.. she looked out of the window and found a guy's fingers stuck in the bonnet.. "Get the first aid kit.. come fast..", she said and quickly left the car.. she went near Raghav and helped him get his hand out by lifting the hood but was surprised at his reaction.. he harshly jerked her hand off..
Helping others was Kalpi's inbuilt quality .. she saw he was hissing in pain as his fingers had hit the warm engine and turned red but this guy just won't take any help.. she nodded her head and asked her driver to hand her the first- aid kit.. she tried helping Raghav but was again met by the same rudeness..
"Don't you bloody understand woman, I.. don't... need... your.. help.."... "Look at your hand.. your fingers are burnt.. fine I won't apply the ointment.. here take this apply it yourself..", kalpi said handing him the open ointment tube.. "Are you illeterate or dumb?? don't you understand what I said??", this time in an angrier tone Raghav replied..
"Enough is enough.. here I am trying to help you and you're shouting at me.. what the hell is your problem ha??", Kalpi replied in the same angry tone.. "Did I ask for your help??.. No.. so why don't you just get lost??", Raghav replied rudely.. "Ya I should coz you and your big fat ego just don't need anyone else..", saying so Kalpi walked away and Raghav too turned his face the other side neither of them looking back..

It was 2 am and not a tinge of sleep in his eyes.. while everyone in his house was sleeping peacefully after the tiring wedding night and Raghav had anything but peace... he again looked at the crumbled wedding card in his hand..
Prem Kapoor
Weds
Reena Rathore
Reading it was like inserting hundred daggers in his heart.. yes he claimed that he had moved on but something just didn't let him let go of all the pain which was the only thing left in his heart.. just like ash remains after burning a dead body... his heart was burned to death but the pain in it remained like the ash...
Kalpi as per her usual habit was sitting alone in her empty house's balcony staring at the sky while holding Ashutosh's photo frame in her hand...She was thinking about the wedding night, the guests, and how she was smiling happily as if everything was normal..
And how absolutely no one could see past her facade of happiness.. the real hurt behind it... but now that she was alone she let it slip away and let her hurt show...hugging the photo frame she went to sleep thinking that the pain in her heart is never gonna end.. Accepting the fact that with the roses of love there are thorns of pain too...
On the other side was Raghav who couldn't even do that... the facade of his anger was not a mask but the feeling he felt towards himself...
He could never forget his past.. two important people in his life betrayed him... his best-friend and his love... he could never forget that fateful night when he got to know that Prem and Reena were just with him to take advantage of his big name... that night when he got to know the truth that the only girl whom he loved and trusted so much had no feelings for him ever.. and all she did was to help Prem get investors for his business plan which was not a difficult task as they had 'Raghav Singhaania's' assurance of the investment being fruitful...
Prem always envied Raghav for having everything in his life and in his envy he decided to use his only friend to fulfill his dreams and in his partner-in-crime was Reena who pretended to be in love with Raghav so that there is no possibility of denial from his side... Raghav got them investors and Prem & Reena's business set off.. and just when Raghav's presence didn't matter or was not needed anymore.. they threw him out of their lives..
And from that day on the anger he showed towards others was the anger he felt on himself for trusting someone so much ... for giving someone the right to play with his feelings.. for letting someone break his heart ..later he too drifted off to sleep thinking that never ever in his life will he trust someone so much again..
Can trust ever be restored? Do wounds ever heal? Will anger cease to exist? Can hearts be repaired? Will the self-protective walls ever come down? Does the pain ever go away?
P.S I know the story isn't moving much but from next part I assure you it will move with a proper pace.. hope so now the past thing is clear atleast a little..😊
I'm trying my best to potray RagNa emotions and pain so need to know where I'm lacking etc. So please feel free to criticise.. I'm not an expert like many others here but still trying..
