2 weeks pass by
Jai and Bani had kept on meeting at night..in her room…Pia was unaware what was happening ..But she had seen Jai and Bani together a lot of times….it was just 1 week before the wedding…Bani's wedding had been called of …the reason Bani gave was that Arshads father wanted Arshad to have politics as his main priority and stuff…
Bani and Jai …still didn't have the guts to tell Pia……
Arshad kept on bumping into Pia at office …and either touching, holding her hand ….
It was Sunday and Rashi ,Jai ,Pia and Bani were watching movie at Jai's place..
Bani-"how come we hardly see Ranveer Bhaiya???"
Rashi -"…he is just too busy with his office and meetings. I hardly share time with him ….."
Just then Pia's phone rang..
Pia answered …she excused herself/…
When she came back. she was panicking …Pia had always blamed herself for Laxmi's halat…she could relate to her…its because of Pia that Arshad was beating.. Laxmi…
Jai-"what happened? who was it??"
Pia-"it was Laxmi…she was all crying n stuff…Arshad beat her so bad…he is taking his anger out on her….she told me she wanted to meet ..so I said that we could have dinner tomorrow night at Taj…..so Jai invite Laxmi and Arshad for dinner at Taj…
It was Monday night …Pia, Bani and Jai were waiting for Arshad and Laxmi to arrive.
They finally arrived…. Bani and Pia and Laxmi excused themselves to go to the washroom..
Pia asked Laxmi what the problem was…Laxmi showed her bruises….it was all red and stuff…it was disgusting….
Bani –"oh my god…"
Pia-"u have to run away…Laxmi.."
Laxmi-"I want to but. He has warned me that if I run away..he will kill my…the guy I love…"
Pia-'he cant do that. Not to that extreme"
Laxmi-"he can….he is a devil…the only way I can get out of this is..'
Bani-"bolo.."
Laxmi-"if Pia goes back to Arshad…he will set me free …I cant take this anymore….Pia ..u can help me…"
Pia-"I ..i dnt know…I "
Laxmi-"I know its dangerous …I can only ask.."
Pia-"I no his is al my fault somehow..
Bani-"its dangerous Pia!!! think of another way.."
Laxmi-"there is no other way…."
Pia-"I will have to think about it…."
They go outside and join the boys….Arshad was eyeing Laxmi suspiciously …if she had told the girls…
They ate dinner …Pia noticed Arshad grinning at her…givin her a evil smile……Pia knew something was going on in his head…
They said goodbye and left..
