You can read this as an OS or a continuation of my previous Sidushka TS Turbulance. If you are reading this individually then note that this is two weeks after the tie returning incident and Sweetyji is unware about Sidushka.

Part 4
10 days later.
Siddhant sat leaning against the terrace parapet holding his head in his hand while Sweetyji stood and stared at the mess of a man that his friend had become. The night breeze blew over them hardly able to soothe this hammering in Siddhant's head.
"Bauji kya hua? iss baar kk ne kya kiya", Sweetyji uttered concerned.
"Sweetyji Anushka ne wahi kiya jaisa hum chahte thhe. usne vedant se shaadi ke liye haan keh di hai."
"Toh yeh toh achi baat hai bauji. Aapki bachpann ki yaar ki shaadi tay ho gayi"
"Hum Anushka se pyaar karte hain Sweetyji. aur woh humse. pichle aanth saalon se", he spoke lost in the meandering lines of his palm reminiscing the previous night when anushka in her drunk state had told him that she loved him and wanted to marry him not Vedant.
Sweetyji was agast learning this new truth. Teary eyed he raized himself to Siddhant's level and pulled him in an embrace.
Breaking the embrace he asked, "yeh sab kaise ho gaya bauji. Anushka ne Vedant ko.."
Siddhant cut him answering the ridiculous truth that was tearing his soul apart, "Humne jo bhi Neeta Reddy aur Sudhanshu Nanda ke saath kiya us-se Reddy mansion mein bohot mushkilein khadi huyi. Lekin inn sab mein har roz Anushka ki pareshaani aur aansu humse bardaasht nahi ho paa rahe thhe. Humne khud hi vedant ki madad ki usse Anushka ki nazron mein uthaane ke liye, yeh sochkar ki agar woh vedant ke saath chali jaaye toh hum sukoon se Reddys ko tod paayenge."
Sweetyji stared stunned. " Par yeh toh dhoka hua naa?"
"Haan Sweetyji shaadi ka wada karke humne dhoka de diya Anushka ko." Siddhant spoke almost forcing himself to speak.
"naa ji mai uss dhoke ki baat nahi karr raha", Sweetyji clarified.
"matlab?" Siddhant looked at him curious.
"matlab yeh bauji ki aapne Anushkaji ki aankhon mein vedant naam ki dhool jhonki hai. ab anushkaji sochengi bhi toh kya? ek baat bataao kya aapko puura bharosa hai ki Vedant ke saath Anushkaji khush rahengi?"
Siddhant was so lost that all he could think about was, "humein itna pata hai ki woh humaare saath toh nahi reh paayegi Sweetyji". He uttered painfully.
"baauji aapko Anushkaji ko sach bata dena chahiye. aap kaun hote hain unki zindagi ka faisla lene waale?" Sweetyji spoke helpless and annoyed.
"Aap samajh nahi rahe Sweetyji. Agar anushka ko pata chal gaya ki humaare pitashree ka kaatil KK hai toh uska zindagi se vishwaas uth jaayega Sweetyji. Hum yeh nahi kar sakte" Siddhant spoke helpless but firm.
"Phir kya karenge aap? kabhi naa kabhi toh pata chalna hi hai unhein", Sweetyji provoked.
"Lakeeron ke khel mein ulajh gaye hain,
kuch suljhe huye rishte uljha chalein hain,
na jaane kyu yeh aa gira humaari jholi mein
hum naa hi koi farishte hain
bas paude chalein hain shikaar pe", Siddhant was about to lift his head when a feather landed on his palms. He smiled looking at it and at the mockery his life had become.
"Kya bol rahe ho bauji?" Sweetyji rambled.
"Chaliye Sweetyji. Humein lagta hai ki Anushka ko sach bataane se acha hai hum apna daaw laga dein. KK ko khuli chunauti dene ka waqt aa chala hai."
"Isme bohot khatra hai bauji", Sweetyji spoke worried because he knew this man in front of him could go to any limits for Anushka. He had been dumb enough to believe Siddhant's declaration of 'friendship'. He should have known this man was crazy for consuming lethal amounts of drugs just so that Anushka wouldn't be worried about her brother!
On not getting an answer he tried again, "Bauji isme jaan jaa sakti hai aapki"
"Sweetyji aap bhi naa" he smiled at him as if Sweetyji had cracked a joke.
He hugged Sweetyji and watched him go.
"sambhal sambhal kar chale thhe
manzilein dundhlaane par,
jaan toh unmein hi basi hai
jise chale thhe sambhaalne hum", He whispered looking up at gloomy skies.
