@You & Me...One on One@(MG)ff~10~...new link @151 - Page 37

Sneha and vicky were dancing on the soft music liking their togetherness. Sneha was all the while contemplating how to reveal the dark past of her to vicky as she no longer wanted to hide it from him. She wanted to give their relationship a chance. She knew he love her and would be her side always and this was one last test for their love. She wanted to know vicky's reaction on her past and whatever he'll decide after that, she'll gladly accept it.

Till then, these few moments she is spending with him, she'll store it in her memories so that if there a need be to get separate from him forever...she could remember and cherish these...!!

Vicky on the other hand wanted to make her trust him enough to convey his feelings in a better and proper way this time. He saw her lost in some thoughts and said with a mock hurt tone...seems like my company really bores you...!!

Huh...??...sneha jolted back from her reverie and looked at Vicky confused.

See, this is what I was saying...even my words are not worth listening to now that you are blocking me out...he was on with his nautanki, but sneha being the innocent one took it seriously...

What...??...no no Vicky, I am sorry. I was just thinking something and you are definitely not unworthy by any means...she replied sincerely hoping she could make Vicky feel better, while Vicky chuckled seeing her getting serious.

Hey relax angel, I was kidding...he gave her his sweet charming smile...I am just a bit of attention seeker, you see. Its not acceptable when someone look right through me and especially when its a girl...a beautiful one...he whispered the last part and sneha turned red.

By the way, its getting hot here. Let me grab a coke...he turned to her and asked...you want something...??...she shook her head.

Okay, I'll come in a minute, you can go and sit with others...vicky said and moved to the bar after hearing sneha's affirmation.

Sneha made her way back, but as soon as she stepped down the dance floor someone bumped into her and something cold and wet chilled her waist. She looked up to see two girls and a boy standing in front of her. The girl whose drink spilled on sneha was a bit tipsy indicating that she was slight drunk. Her boyfriend held her as she swayed due to the dash, while her other friend was just looking around.

You...you bitch...are you blind...she slurred cursing sneha, but when sneha looked at her she suddenly turned sarcastic, while sneha lost the colour of her face.

Oh...!!...look who's here...she said a bit loudly grabbing attention of some nearby people along with maan and geet, who were behind them. They turned to see what was going on.

Sia darling, you know her...??...her boyfriend asked checking sneha out from top to bottom.

Sia snorted in response while replying...of course, everyone at St. Louis know her...miss wanna be s**t...!!

Loud gasp escape from geet and few other friends who came to see what was happening. Maan was enraged and understood she must sneha's collegemate and was about to move forward to ease the situation, when his mishty already went ahead totally furious.

Excuse me...how dare you insult my friend...??...she stood beside a sobbing sneha putting her arm around her...first look at yourself before speaking about others coz anyone could easily mistake YOUfor a s**t here...she spat back and maan held his head knowing things will just get worse and it did.

Shut up...!!...do you even know your friend that you are taking her side...??...whole shimla know her identity, so don't you dare point finger at me...sia retorted back. By now a crowd started forming around them and sneha could feel every eye on her making her feel all the more humiliated. She look around for Vicky and saw him staring right back at her, moving towards her.

He came to where sneha was standing and stood facing the girl, who was abusing sneha. Sia saw Vicky and her eyes turned big seeing her favourite star singer in front of her...

OMG...!!...Vikrant khurana...!!...I can't believe you are standing in front of me...she squealed in delight while geet gave a murderous glare to the girl...I am a big fan of yours...will you give me an autograph...??

Vicky looked at the mad girl in front of him and then at sneha's teary eyes and replied in a calm voice...sure...sneha and geet looked at Vicky shocked, but his next set of words ease their shock...but first apologise to her...he pointed at sneha.

Sia looked at him like he was some sort of an alien...excuse me, why would I apologise to her...giving sneha a mean look she turned back to Vicky...and why are you even caring about this sl...

Before she could finish her sentence, Vicky raised his hand indicating her to stop and said in an intensely dangerous tone...first, don't you dare you that word for sneha again and second, she is very dear to me that is why I care for her...!!

Sneha felt a wave of emotion hit her as for the first time in her life someone was standing up for her, when others were pointing finger at her character. Her love for Vicky transformed into devotion that very second, while maan was proud of his brother for doing something right for the first time. Geet, however, was deriving sadistic pleasure from the shocked expression at sia's face.

What...??...oh so now she is trying her magic on you...sia couldn't believe sneha's luck at having The star Vikrant singh khurana by her side after all the things happened with her back in shimla. A jealousy crept in her heart, which made her blurt out sneha's horrendous past...well, can't expect anything else from her after all she is famous for this. First Mr. Mehra and now you and god knows with how many men she have been...!!

Thats was more than enough for sneha to bear. The very mention of sandy brought everything back to her and she ran out crying bitterly. Vikcy gave a disgusting look to sia and stormed out behind sneha calling for her. Geet too was about to go behind them, when she heard sia and stopped...shameless bitch...!!

Maan saw geet marching towards sia and knew his sherni was in her attacking mode.

What the hell did you just say...??...she asked boring her eyes into sia's. Sia looked at her in a mocking way and repeated or tried to repeat...she is a shameless bi...

But before she could complete her sentence, geet placed a hard punch on her face breaking her nose. The bouncers of the disc came towards them hearing the commotion and seeing geet's punch. They were about to grab geet, when maan stepped in between them and geet, shielding her form them...we are just leaving...he said and taking hold of geet's hand signalled others to follow them.

*********************************************************************

Sneha was sitting on the passenger seat, while Vicky was driving them to the villa. There was silence in the car and Vicky could see sneha still crying looking out of the window. They reached the villa and sneha left for her room without even glancing at Vicky.

Vicky gave the keys to the guard to park the car and ran behind sneha. He entered the lift just when it was about to close and waited till it reach their floor. As they reach their destination, Vicky took hold of sneha's hand and led her to her room. They stood in the balcony feeling the soothing cool winds and sneha finally break the silence...

Won't you ask me anything...??...or do you already hate me, now...??

Her question shocked Vicky to the core. He held sneha's hand in his and replied in a soft yet firm tone...I love you sneha and there is no other emotion in this world that could replace that love in my heart...she could feel the honesty in every word of his. He paused letting her believe him and added...and I trust you completely. I know you enough to doubt your character...!!

She looked into his eyes as he lend his support to her through his words...I'll never insult you by asking baseless questions, but yes, if you ever want to share anything...anything at all, I'll always be there to listen...!!

Don't love me so much Vicky, I am not worth it...she lowered her eyes choking as she speak. Vicky lifted her face and said...one thing which I am sure about you is that you can never do anything for which you have to lower your head. So don't talk about worth. You are much more that I could ever ask for...he completed with finality.

They sat down at the entrance of the balcony and looked ahead. Sneha took a deep breath and started speaking...I was born in shimla and lived there for 18years, before coming to delhi...!!

Vicky looked at her, but she was focusing ahead. He didn't interrupted and just sat there listening as he had said earlier...

Though I lost my mother early, I still had a blissful life with my father and my dreams. I had everything in my life and even got admission in a reputed college to finish my degree in architecture. I wanted to become a renowned architect and was ready to work hard for it, but my cursed fate snatched my chance at happiness, when HE came into my life. ...!!

EDITED...

FLASHBACK...

Sir, you called me...??...she asked softly and the person looked up hearing the familiar voice.


Yes sneha, I wanted you to meet the son of our new trustee and the main sponsor of our annual fest...sneha diverted her gaze towards the person with a smile, but that smile vanished from her face the instant that man turned and face her...Mr. Sandeep Mehra...!!

Her eyes widened as she realized he was the same man, whom she met this morning. She could feel his gaze on her even after averting her eyes and the same uneasiness and fear crept inside her again. But she knew she has to be polite. So, gathering her courage she looked at sandeep with a small smile and said...hello, mr. Mehra...!!

Please call me sandy. This Mr. Mehra makes me feel old...he smirked looking at her nervousness, but the principle saved sneha from answering...

Sneha, as you are handling the major co-ordinating work of our college fest and sandy wanted to meet you thats why I called you here. He wanted to know the progress of work...!!

Principal sir, if you don't mind I would like to help your students with the fest preparation...he said and cunningly tried to convince the principal...I really want to contribute and make this fest the best...!!

Sneha felt her heart constrict in extreme fear realizing this man might be around her from now onwards and her fears came true with principal sir's work...oh that will be our pleasure. In fact you and sneha could work together...what say...??

Before sneha could say or do anything to avert the situation, sandy replied...that'll be great sir. I hope miss sneha don't have a problem in working with me...!!

Next two weeks were terrible for sneha. With sandy lingering around her most of the time, she find it difficult to manage. He always used to find ways for touching her or flirting with her. There group consisted of five students, with sneha and sandy the incharge, while garima, rohit and sia assisting them. Sia was smitten by snady and knowing his rich status was like cherring on top. But seeing all his advances towards sneha, she used to get super jealous.

It was finally the day of the fest and all were hell busy with last minute preparations. They had worked hard to make the fest a success and sneha was really looking forward to it.

So, all set students...??...the principal asked calling the students in his cabin. Sandy was already present there and the moment sneha entered, she could feel his creepy gaze on her. But, keeping aside all her fears she answered the principal politely...

Yes sir, everything is ready...!!

Good...and then turning to sandy he added...I am really thankful to you sandy for giving your precious time to our students and college.

Sandy came and stood right in front of sneha...please sir, you are embarrasing me. The pleasure was all mine...he said the last bit looking directly at sneha.

They talked about the events and of the next three days and then left the cabin. Sandy too took his leave from principal and left to see the events. It was evening and sneha was going through the stalls and the decor. She felt so happy seeing their hardwork showing its effect. But, when she moved to the corridor, which was a bit deserted, someone blocked her way. She frowned for a second, but then panicked seeing the person. It was none other than sandy.

Hey sneha, going somewhere...??...he leaned towards her trapping her between him and the wall, while she franatically looked around to find someone. But there was no one. She gulped and tried to shove off his hands...

What are you doing Mr. Mehra...??...pl..please...leave my way...she was suffocating in his proximity.

Oh please sneha, don't act like you don't understand anything...she looked at him not getting what he was implying at...you know I like you. You are so...sexy...his very tone sent warning signals to her. She wriggled in his hold to get free, but her tightened his hold and spat...will you stop resisting so much...??...grabbing her chin he made her look at him and added...why don't you understand...??...I want you...her eyes widened hearing him.

Now, don't give me those surprising look...he smirked and leaned more making her press herself into the wall...be with me and I'll give you anything you want...seeing her silent for some seconds he added...don't think so much sneha, I can make all your dreams come true, just give me what I want...he gave her a meaningful glance eyeing her body making her feel utmost disgusted.

His humiliating demand gave an unknown strength to sneha and she pushed him with all her might. Before sandy could gather himself from the sudden push, a loud sound of slap echoed in the whole corridor. He held his cheek, which was still hot from the tight slap and looked at her in disbelief. Her eyes were spitting fire and disgust...

How dare you...??...aapki himmat kaise hui mujhse iss tarah ki ghatiya baat kehne ki. I am poor, but I am not moralless, so don't you ever try to put forth your filthy demands in front of me...she pointed her finger towards him and added in a firm voice...don't take my silence as my weakness and stay away from me...!!

With that warning she marched out from there, leaving a furious sandy behind still caressing his cheeks.

***********************************************************

The next two days went well and sneha hardly saw sandy around her. She was glad as well as relieved. Though she had showed so much strength to him, but from inside she was a bit scared. She just wanted this fest to end fast, so that she can get back to her normal college life and finally get rid of sandy.

The last day had some concert from a famous singer. The whole college had assembled to see the show as it was some very renowned singer. Sneha watched the show only half and decided to go and get something to drink.

Hey sneha, where are you going...??...her friend preeti asked seeing her going to the exit of auditorium. Sia and others were near by and they heard. Sneha looked at them and said...I am a bit thirsty, just going to drink some water...!!

But, you don't have to leave for that...pooja, another friend answered...see we have made arrangement at the corner there...she pointed out at one corner.

Though sneha wanted water, but she also wanted to get away from there as the loud noises were giving her headache. She also knew that her friends would not let her go, so she made up an excuse...woh, I am going to see nidhi...don't know where she went...she averted her gaze while lying as she was never a good lier for she hardly lies. She has sent nidhi home as she was sick and others didn't know that. Her friends got convinced and decided not to probe further.

She left from there and that very moment sandy entered. He met the girls and continued to chat with them for a while. It was almost an hour and there was no sign of sneha. Her friends thought she left to her home. The show end and sandy took his leave from them and left. The fest ended with two more programs.

**********************************************************

Here sneha was locked in a room with her hands and tied to chair and her eyes and mouth covered. She was strolling in the outside garden to get some fresh air, when someone grabbed her from behind and made her unconscious. After she woke, she found herself in this same position. She was totally frightened and then she heard the door being open and close with a click indicating the locking of door.

She tried to make some sound...scream out of fear, but nothing helped. And then her blindfold was removed and she came face to face with none other than sandy. He gave her a bone chilling smirk and said...

See, this is what happens when someone deny me something. I asked you nicely, but you brought this on yourself...he leaned very close to her and added in a cold voice...by slapping me and now, you have to pay...!!

That night was the longest and most terrorizing night in sneha's life, where she lost her everything. The next morning sneha got back her senses, her whole life was destroyed, tainted. She found herself in a hotel room bruised and battered, devoid of any clothing. The gravity of incident dawned on her and she immediately collected her clothes got dressed and left from there.

Somehow she reached her home, but the whole way people were staring at her dishealved condition. When she finally reached home, her father was in a mode of panic and seeing her he rushed and gathered her in his arms asking several question of her where about the whole night. Finally feeling the warmth and security of her father's arms, sneha break down and narrated the whole incident crying bitterly.

The next few weeks were terrible for father-daughter. Sneha's father went to police to lidge complaint, but knowing about the accused being the sole hier of Mehra chains of Hotels police simply neglected. The news of the incident soon spread throughout shimla, it being a small city. The people who respected sneha's father started humiliating them. Even the college authorities rusticated sneha when she accused sandy for forcing her. In fact what shocked her was that none of her friends took her side. Sia went on claiming her to be an opportunist, while others told that sandy was with them the whole time of the consort and left very late at night, while sneha went missing long back.

People started calling her with filthy names and they made their life hell.

Sandy went scott free even after sneha's statement and left to London, while sneha and her father were insulted and had to suffer a lot of heart breaking humiliation, which ultimately forced them to leave shimla.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

There was complete silence for some time and only sneha's sobbing and vicky's furious breath could be heard.

Sneha gulped hard the lump forming in her throat and then she broke down to terrible heart wrenching cries...

Vicky's eyes were red as though blood has come out from the capillaries of his eyes to fill up the white space. His body trembled with such intense rage that it seemed soon his bones will dislodge from their places...the girl he loves from his heart and soul went through so much, suffered such inhumane atrocities without any fault of her...the thought was killing him from within.

Sneha was now standing beside the railing of the balcony. He saw sneha slid down the floor crying her heart out and remembered the pain he saw in her eyes that party night. Today, it seemed ten times more worse just by recalling the bad time then how she had felt when she lived through it all...??...how did she cope...??...and he got the answers to his questions the next second...

My papa suffered so much humiliation Vicky, I felt...fe...lt...so...cheap...she hiccupped saying the words in between...I wanted to end both our miseries and thus decided to finish the root of the problem...I deci...decided to end...myself...there was deep anguish as well as madness in her eyes and voice and Vicky was horrified. He instantly held her shoulders and brought her up. She looked at him and spoke again in a hoarse defeated voice...

But I failed...I failed there too, not once but twice...saying so she started crying again and was soon engulfed in a bone crushing hug by Vicky not being able to hear or see anything anymore. He kept rubbing her back and hair soothingly trying to take away all her pain...

Sshh...!!...its okay sneha...calm down...it wasn't your fault...please neha...taking her pet name he tried to make her feel special and loved. Angry tears that were held back in his eyes broke through the barrier and flowed down his cheeks, while he kept comforting her.

They stood there for god knows how long and finally when sneha sobered a bit, Vicky thought to lead her to her room as she definitely needed rest. He guided her and turned around, but froze on his spot. Sneha too looked ahead and a loud gasp left her mouth seeing geet standing at the door of the balcony. Seeing her tears they understood geet had listened to everything and sneha lowered her eyes feeling ashamed.

In three quick strides geet reached her friend and took her in a comforting hug not knowing what to say. Both the girls cried understandingly, one seeking comfort and other trying to give it to her level best.

Seeing the two most important girls in his life breaking down like this he engulfed both of them in his arms.

**********************************************************

Maan was pacing in his room agitated with turn of events. He had strictly told everyone not to mention any of this in front of sneha and to forget that it even happened in the first place. Everyone left to their respective rooms except adi. They talked about the security and other works and then adi went back saying...

Maan relax, I think Vicky will handle sneha well...!!

Maan blinked his eyes in understanding, but he was still restless. He knew sneha would be very disturb, but then he also knew that Vicky and geet would make her feel better. But what if she get into some attack once again...I should once check her...he thought aloud and then left his room.

When he came to sneha's room, he saw sneha on the bed sleeping, while geet and Vicky on either side of her bed. On hearing the door opened, they looked at maan and Vicky came to him and hugged him tight. He himself was feeling very helpless at not being able to do anything to reduce sneha's pain.

Bhai, I am feeling so helpless. Why did all this happened with her...??...she is so innocent, how can people treat her so cruelly...??...he was angry at each and every person, who had wronged her. His eyes turned red as recalled everything she told him...I'll kill him bhai...I'll kill that bas***d...!!

Maan listened to everything and knew at once that sneha has revealed everything to them. In a way he was glad that his brother understood sneha's innocence. He separated Vicky from him and looked into his eyes...

Just answer my one question Vicky...he paused getting vicky's attention and continued...do you still love sneha after hearing about her past...??...both vicky's and geet's head snapped at maan's direction hearing him.

How can you even ask such a thing bhai...??...vicky was baffled...why would her past affect my love for her. For me she is still the same old innocent girl with whom I fell in love...!!

Good...!!...I wanted to hear that only...maan said giving him an appreciative glance.

But bhai, how did you know about her...??...you weren't hear, when she told everything...he asked maan with narrowed eyes.

I know everything about her life Vicky...he answered.

Geet looked at him as he turned his gaze in her direction. Now, she understood why maan didn't tell her about all this and she felt more and more respect and love for him.

But there is one more thing that you both should know...maan added after a while...her state of mind is very vulnerable and so we have to deal with her very sensitively...!!

At this geet came near them and asked in a low voice...what do you mean maan...??...sneha thik toh hai na...??

Maan took a deep breath and replied...no geet, she is not alright. That incident left a deep mark on her mind and it drove her to the extent of suicide and that too twice ...!!

Geet gasped loudly, while Vicky closed his eyes recalling sneha's own confession about it...luckily her father saved her and he brought her to delhi. Here she was treated for six months by a psychiatrist, which somehow stabled her. Later through her uncle's help she got a job in KC as dad's secretary and completed her degree in arts through correspondence. Her life though seems stable now, but there is still the vulnerability there, which I saw in full form on vicky's concert night. She got a panic attack that night and that is why I had to drove her to her house. There her father informed me about her past and her mental condition. She is still recovering...!!

Geet hugged maan feeling terrible hearing all this and sobbed lightly...sshh geet. We will bring love and happiness back in her life and that is the only way to treat her...he finished.

Yes bhai, we'll not let her drown in the darkness of her past...vicky added and then after thinking something he asked...bhai, if you know everything about her past then you should also know the person, who is responsible for her state...maan looked at him with a straight face, while geet looked anxious.

Who is that man bhai...??
