Chapter 6Swayam was sitting in his room lost in his thoughts. The incidents since previous night the shaken him up completely. " Am I that untrustworthy person that all my close ones judged me of wrong doing so easily?" " Not once they thought , I was the victim ? After these many years of knowing me , even my friends think of me as duplicitous? And here I came to college anticipating that my friends would ease my of my tensions .
Flashback
Swayam woke up in unfamiliar surrounding not knowing how he came up here , His head bombarded with vicious headache.He thought why was his lying on a bed topless and tried to remember how he got here , but nothing came into his mind..like the memories had been slated off his brain. He got up and looked at the time . "Shoot its 4 am already"? what the heck happened to me? He then saw he had 43 missed calls. He saw his dad and dev had made numerous of calls . He called his dad up ." hello dad , I am sorry I wa..." But his dad cut him off " Swayam Shekhawat ! I hope u enjoyed last night ruining your family s image in the process . I am disappointed in you. Come back right now .and he cut the call . Swayam got confused regarding this conversation but it his father's tone had suddenly passed a bolt of lightening in swayam's mind and body. He quickly dressed up and went to his house . There Rishi and Dev were waiting for him !. Rishi Shekhawat came up to swayam and slapped up hard. "What son have I raised?".So I didn't love you the way I should have ,but I was rectifying it . But you in order to be equal could do such a thing which would tarnish the image of ur family and me in the society I would have never imagined that . So these are the values which he gave to you? Rishi took the remote and switched on the TV . It showed "breaking news" Rishi Shekhawat's son Swayam Shekhawat is a drug addict and loves prostitutes . A scene came up where a girl covering her face comes out of the room and runs off . Camera goes inside and there swayam is sleeping without his upper clothes on the bed " the bulletiens says " This is the legacy of Rishi Shekhawat . This is the upbringing of Shekhawat the multi billionaire family " A shocking truth. Rishi switched the TV off feeling disgusted with what he saw. Swayam ! you completely broke my trust on you ! I thought you loved Sharon but know I was mistaken . She , me , our family and ur friends all have been played by you. Get lost of my sight. I just hope you were not my son! "saying all this Rishi went into his room."
Flashback ends
Swayam thought of his own reactions on hearing all what his father had said and what he saw on television. He was rooted to the spot , trying to decipher what was happening .And was getting more and more frustrated when he could not remember what happened last night to him. He felt disgusted with himself all along the time when his dad was talking. He wanted to scream back and say that he didn't do anything like what was been shown on the TV, that he was being framed but the shock that been so enormous that his body failed to obey the orders of his brain and heart. When Rishi mentioned Sharon, yet another cut to the heart was delivered to Swayam . Thinking what might she be thinking of him? Will she accuse of all this too? Will she think of him as a despicable person? And his father's last line was a major blow to swayam s heart. He had not slept for the whole night thinking no, his friends and Sharon won't judge him like his father did. He would find solace with them. They would support him knowing that he could not do such cheap work. They would know that he was being framed by someone. But is exceptions turned into a nightmare when he reached college.
Swayam reached college , as soon as he entered , he felt whispers behind his back , students had seen the news and the gossip had already started circulating . " Swayam is such a cheap person , man ! Cant believe he is our ACS. " one said . While some other said " Such a despo , in college he is all Sharon Sharon ! but in reality he is such a disgusting person , all girls should beware from such kinds of creep. Swayam heard all of this and a silent tear came in his eyes. Sharon? would you think of me as a cheap , creep person? " cried Swayam. He went towards the rehearsal hall . There he found his friends sitting and discussing something .He hid behind the door and listened to their conversation. " I cant believe Swayam could do such a cheap thing ", Nil said to others. " Yes man , We all thought we knew him , but I cant imagine he could be so desperate ", Vicky commented. " We all thought he was the perfect lover boy and all girls deserved such a person in their life , I was so wrong ..thank god Sharon isn't here , she would have tore him apart ..with all the things he said he felt about her , urrghh that jerk ..Thank god Sharon isn't with him . He deserves the deepest pit of hell , bloody loser ", Simi replied turbulently . "Guys , have you all gone mad or what? Do you even know about whom your all commenting about? Its our Swayam guys . He has kept on supporting us since the time we became friends ..He had been more than best friends for everyone of us . Who hasn't gone to Swayam with his /her problems and got them solved ? Who had been the driving force of the D3 team even when I was busy in my self glory when Aditya came to our lives? You all have got to be kidding me ! I cant believe you all could say such bad things about the person who had all your backs all this time !" Rey shouted to everyone of them. Rey ! TV news and Newspaper wont lie right? Swayam has befooled all of us ! that loser does not deserve anything sympathy for support from us ! He just lost his friends when he did such a servile thing." Exclaimed Vicky. Swayam could not bear more to listen and he lost his control , he barged into the room and said " Yes guys ! I am a loser and Yes I do deserve each and every word you say ! Do you all know why? Coz if my best friends who could not understand me till this time , if they think Yes I could do such a despicable thing , then Yes I am wrong and Yes I don't deserve friends and should be left alone in my miserable life .Thank you for clearing out what all you think of me ! , and here I was foolish to have thought that I would find solitude in my friends company and the fact that they would know I was a trustworthy person. Thank you ! And then he ran off from there , ignoring everone's shocked faces and Rey's constant shouts to Stop . He ran to a place where no one could find him . The Abandoned Corridor .
One person standing on the entrance has witness all this drama. She kept a hand on Rey's shoulder. Rey stopped shouting n turned. "Sharon" He could utter n rest she understood seeing his face. She didn't have the time to face gang her priority was Swayam. She walked towards his direction very well knowing where would be he. There he was in abandoned corridor sitting with his head dropped down. Sharon could understand his emotions. She sat besides him of course he was too depressed to notice her. "Swayam" She called out his name with love and care. He was shocked to see her but next second he engulfed her in tight hug squeezing her life. He really needed someone who trusts him n believing his words. But the situation was too worse to expecting anyone to trust him. Sharon had understood his unsaid pain. She rubbed her hand on his back soothing him. She could feel his uneven breaths getting even. Swayam realized what he is doing. He broke the hug. Sharon was surprised. His eyes were filled with anger n pain. "Why are you here Sharon? I don't need anyone. I can handle this." "Swayam" Sharon started only to cut by Swayam. "If you are done with your fake concern, then just leave." She was hurt by his words but she need to tell him even if there is no one in bad times, she would be besides him forever. "Swayam u r getting it wrong." Sharon tried to convince him.
"Sharon can you leave me alone? It's not the first time all this crap happening I've been used to this behavior. The only difference is it is on big level this time. But I can handle. So just leave. I don't want anyone in my life. I know I'm the useless trash in others life. My friends also consider me the same." Swayam said in angry n hurt voice. All past memories flashed in front of Sharon. She felt guilty n disgusting for her behavior in past again. "Swayam please don't say like this." Her eyes were brimmed with tears. "We both will sort out this thing." She tried to console him but he was too hurt that he was dilemma whether to trust her again or not. He wasn't able to think properly. He looked at Sharon trying to read her. She was truthful n not showing him any sympathy. "I don't know how this happened. I got to know today morning. Dad didn't even listened to me. I swear Sharon maine aisa kuch nhi kiya." He choked while speaking. Sharon placed her hand on his cheeks. "I understand that u need not to explain me." Tring Tring Sharon phone rang. It was Rey. "How's Swayam? You are with him only? Don't leave him alone." Rey spoke in one breath. Sharon smiled seeing concern of Rey. Swayam got confused. "Chill Rey he is fine. U don't worry." Sharon said calmly. "Take care of him." Rey replied. "Yeah sure." Sharon disconnected the call. "Swayam please don't think about this crap. It's just a matter of few days then everything will be alright. Till then we can find out who did this."
"Thanks for understanding me. If u have been not here. I don't know what would have done." Swayam was satisfied that Sharon is with him n his dad's words were wrong.
Sharon was elated that Swayam considered her to share his pain.
"No need for thanks. U should go home n take rest."
They stood n walked from there.
In canteen Rey was sipping his coffee lost in events of today. "Hey" He looked up to see Dev.
"Hey" Rey greeted back.
"I was shocked listening to news today. I didn't expected to Swayam to putting a stake on uncle's reputation."
"Yeah I know Swayam can't do these things." Rey agreed to him.
"I think someone has trapped him." He waited for Rey's reaction.
Rey got in deep thought. "But why would anyone trap Swayam? He doesn't have any enemies also."
"May be some old fights which you don't know"Rey seemed to have buying his words. So he continued "I think we both should find the person behind all this."
"Yeah we should. I will never leave the person who did all this." Rey spoke in determined tone.
"Now he will not doubt on me." Dev thought in mind.
