Chapter 4

BAM!!!!!

Before he could finish his sentence Aadi delivered a heavy punch to his face. His face was red with anger, his fist was clenched. 

"I dare you to say that again," Aadi yelled at him.

Raj staggered back as he was drunk so he can't control his footing and fell on the floor. 

Aadi hovered upon him and took his collar in his hand and said, "If you utter nonsense about her again I'll rip off your tongue...

Did you get it clear?"

Raj's head was spinning because of a heavy blow and alcohol kicked him hard, his lip's skin broke and blood dripped. He clutched his head and shrieked "How dare you to punch me for a fucking girl."

 At that time everyone got alert and some came to calm them, his some friends separated them both and took them to sit.

.

.

Aadi want to beat him further but his friends held him. They didn't want to make a mess on a happy occasion.

Avi, Raj's cousin who was also a friend of Aadi, came to them and said "Go take Raj back home, he is quite drunk."

 Before his friend could hold Raj's hand he yelled at Aadi again"How could you raise a hand on a friend for a cheap slut like her who was whoring around with boys."

Aadi eyes darkened and with the lightning of speed, he got up from his seat and launched punch after punch in Raj's face. Everyone ran to hold him but he was not refraining his strength.

 His friend all held him and make him sit and give him water to cool down his anger a bit. Raj collapsed after a harsh beating and the effect of alcohol consumed his consciousness. His friends lift him and took him to the car.

........

Aadi's friends were also trying to calm him.

"How dare he call names of my girlfriend. How dare he insult my girl, I would have broken his damn mouth if you hadn't stopped me.." Aadi was flaring up with anger. 

Avi said calmly, "Calm down he has gone now. And how could you fight with your friends for a girl? What if he was saying the truth?"

Aasi chuckled, "Oh now you are also siding with that alcoholic bastard. After all, he is your brother why would he look wrong to you."

Avi sighed and said, "I'm not siding with him. I'm just stating a fact. Why would Raj lie to you? What could he gain from breaking your relationship?"

Aadi got silent for a moment and said calmly," I don't know what he wants, he is just a drunkard who was blabbering nonsense. And one more thing I trust Kriti. She will never do anything like that to disappoint me." 

After saying that he left there. This is the first time he talked to Avi this rudely. He valued his friends so much and he had never fought with them, for a girl especially. 

 He was disappointed with himself first Kriti lied to him and now his friends are also saying all these. His trust started to waver and his mind was not working, this is the first time when he can't decide and what is wrong and what is right.

Present....

 The guy in the park was the same who he has seen in the picture. He knew all of her friends, he never met them but had seen pictures. He has never seen that person with Kriti.

.

.

So everything was real. His friends were right. She was cheating on him.

..

 His eyes were misty and red. 

Anger, hurt, frustration, humiliation, confusion, there are so many emotions rising inside him altogether. 

He wanted to cry, yell at her, ask her!!

.

Why did she do that?.....

Is she not happy with him?....

Is he not good enough for her?....

Why???????...

 There are so many questions but answers are none.

.

.

He had done everything in his power to make her happy. He always supported her every decision, he never restricted her from anything. Whatever she wanted he always try to get it for her. He was struggling for a job and not that financially stable but he never let her feel any less than a normal couple. 

Then why??

.

He started his bike and drove to his home. His eyes were clouded with anger and tears.

......

On other hand...

Kriti had seen Aadi's message and her mood was better now. She reached the college and saw a big old banyan tree its branches were hanging on the road.

She smiled as a sweet memory came into her mind.

Flashback...

 It was her first day of college. Everyone was a stranger to her. A new place new people she was a little nervous.

Aadi was coming to drop her at college. He was waiting for her down in the street on his bike. She was nervous but also excited to meet Aadi. She always wanted this pick-up-and-drop type thing with Aadi. But because of long-distance they never experienced this kind of things.

. She reached to him and smiled. He was wearing a denim shirt with black jeans and white shoes. His hair was combed upward. He looked like a college student. He was half-sitting on the bike and looking at his phone when he sensed her presence he looked up at her. He got mesmerized by how lively and fresh she was looking.

.

.

She was wearing a white high neck sleeveless top with navy blue skinny jeans. Her hairs were half clutched half was open, her hazel brown eyes twinkled as she walked near him. She was wearing white canvas shoes and a black backpack. She applied pink lipgloss on her lips which looked like rose petals to him, he wanted to suck her lips. But he doesn't want to get her late on her first day.

So he made her sit behind him on the bike.

She circled her arms around his waist and rested her face on his shoulder. She was back hugging him. He smiled at her sitting position. He loved her clingy and romantic behavior.
