Betrayal of the Best Friend

Mishi was crying, sitting in the living room. After the noise inside the room stopped she also stopped crying.

"What made him angry so much? He also said bad things to me...", mumbled Mishi. "I can't even ignore him because even if he's wrong, he's giving every thing to my siblings, the love of everyone. But then he's a bad guy...."

After an hour she decided to go to the room. She walked towards the room and opened the door. She saw everything is broken there, even their wedding reception photo is broken and blood drops are all over it. She saw Xian is on the bed with his hands bleeding but he's fallen asleep. She stepped inside carefully towards the bed and looked at his hands, then at the foot which is swollen badly. She walked to the closet and took out the medical kit.

She looked at the devastated condition of Xian. She sat beside him and wiped his face gently. His face is burning up with the fever. Mishi ran outside the room to the kitchen. She grabbed a big bowl and put water into it. She picked an ice pack from the fridge and walked towards the room.

She puts the bowl on the table beside the bed and made Xian lie comfortably by putting pillows below his head. From the cupboard she took a small towel and soaked it into the water. She puts the soaked towel on his forehead and then went to his foot, placed a pillow below it and puts an ice pack on it.

"Why did you hurt yourself so much? She's happy now....you should also move on", murmured Mishi and gently applied the disinfectant on his right hand. Xian winced in pain. Tears flow from her eyes but she wiped them and blow the air on his wounds. After disinfecting both hands she puts the bandage over them and again sat beside him on the bed. She turned the towel and then touched his face.

The whole night she took care of him so that his fever can drop down.

In the morning Mishi's eyes opened up because of Sun rays falling on the bed. She immediately got up and checked Xian's fever. It was dropped down a bit but not that much. She decided to call Mark.

I should sweep this out before Mark or other can see this. After calling Mark she cleaned the room and throwing the trash in bin when her hands fell on their wedding photo. She was going to throw it in the trash but then she decided not to. She took the photo inside the room and puts it inside her closet. The door bell rang and she ran to the door. Mark came with the same doctor of last night.

The doctor went inside the room to check Xian. "Mrs Zhang you triggered his anger by some bad things which made him like this".

"What do you mean doctor?", asked Mishi. The doctor looked at Mark. "Mishi I'll tell you later", said Mark.

"I'm giving these medicines for him. Please don't say anything related to his past to him....Mark please explain it to Mrs Zhang", said the doctor. Mark nodded and walked out to see him off. He came back in the room and saw Mishi is caressing Xian's head.

"Mishi let's talk", said Mark. He sat on the small sofa of their room. Mishi remained seated on the bed.

"Xian has told me not to tell you anything but now his condition is worsened so I can't keep my promise. Bai betrayed Xian. Your friend lied to you....I don't know how much but I think you should ask her about this", said Mark.

"No this can't be true. Bai can never betray him..... He caught Xian with some other woman", said Mishi and looked at Mark.

"Yin Mei right?", asked Mark.

"Do you know?", asked Mishi.

"Of course. We're friends since a very long time, when we were 7. She's his best friend and closest woman to him. That time he was struggling with this company. Yin is from a good family so she went to Xian that day because Xian's startup was almost at the verge of bankruptcy.

Bai came the moment Xian and Yin were in the room and she misunderstood everything. I don't know she made it up or not but Xian loved her more than anyone in this world. He even fought with mother for her. But then that day you interfered between them according to him.

But I'm happy that you interfered that day because Bai wasn't suitable for him. After that day he worked very hard don't know why but he did. When the startup hits in Beijing, he came in the list of top 10 entrepreneurs. He went back to Bai but she was moved on with the other man leaving him in a hell as you can see.

He never told anyone what exactly happened between them but after that he started behaving like this. Looking at this room I think he has broken everything here.....it's all like a trauma to him. So the doctor who earlier came checked him for whole two years. Still in between the years he felt things like this but I guess last night it was worse..... "

"Bai can't lie to me", said Mishi.

"Mishi that's you to decide. But Xian loved her a lot..... He's not the person he seems. He's angry on you from that day....", said Mark.

"Mark I've to go somewhere. Please take care of Xian", said Mishi and went to the closet to take out her wallet.

"But Mishi...."

"Mark I'll be back by noon", said Mishi and ran out of there.

Mishi booked the taxi and went to Bai's home whose address she gave her yesterday. In an hour she reached there and told the guard that she's Mishi Xin, Bai's friend. "Sorry Ma'am, she isn't home....", said the guard.

"When she will return?", asked Mishi.

"In the evening", said the guard.

She sat on the bench outside Bai's home and waited for her. Hours passed but she didn't come. She called Mark to ask about Xian's condition.

"Mishi he's awake and he's asking about you....", said Mark. A tear fell from Mishi's eye and she said, "tell him that I will come in the evening".

"But where are you?", asked Mark.

"Mark I've to clarify something. Don't tell the things you tell me to Xian", said Mishi and hangs up.

"I don't think Bai has cheated him. They have misunderstood each other since then. I'll clear the misunderstandings between them", murmured Mishi and wiped off her tears.

In the evening a car passed by her to the gate and it stopper before her. "Mishi", said Bai with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~

"How's the house Mishi?", asked Bai.

"It's good....", said Mishi and passed a smile. They sit on the couch in the living room. "Actually Bai I'm here to ask some thing from you", said Mishi.

"What do you want to ask?", asked Bai curiously.

"Bai did you lie to me that day?", asked Mishi and looked at Bai.

"Mishi I told you...."

"Bai I want to know the truth. Did Xian betray you or you...", said Mishi.

Bai looked at her and then said, "Lui and I were friends but I loved Xian only. He was busy with his startup and he never focused on me. He has always work to do. I understood him but then Lui started giving me that time which Xian should've given to me. Above all he doesn't have a proper job and my parents didn't like dating him...."

"Bai he loved you more than anyone else. He was struggling in that period so you should be more supportive of him", said Mishi.

"Mishi what are you saying? I supported him for two years but then I couldn't because he has no money in his hand. Until when I'm going to support him.... Lui on the other hand has become director in SJM. Mishi tell me for you love is important or a person with a stable job with money. You can like that person and fall in love with him. Xian was struggling at that time and I supported him but then I found him with Yin and I put an end to everything", said Bai.

"Bai you are lying again. Yin is his childhood friend and he only loved you", said Mishi.

"Haha....Mishi Don't tell me you're in love with him. But still it's again because he is a CEO now. You need a person who can support you and your siblings. Isn't it?"

"Bai how can you say that?"

"Mishi it's the truth. After your parents death you always needed a person who can support you and your siblings. Lui and I did it for you as a friends that's why you always roam around us. But then you met Zhao, the cafe boy. He's good but not that good in terms of money as is Xian. Of course you will go for Xian because again you need someone who can support you and CC".

"Bai you are friend. How can you..."

"Mishi the truth is I'm your friend because I've money. Now Xian has come into your life so he's your friend that's why you asked me about this because you've found a more reliable person than us"

"Bai", shouted Mishi and was going to slap him but stopped midway. "I don't know what went wrong but I considered you a friend....."

"Mishi you considered me a friend because your parents were dead...."

Mishi looked at her in disbelief. But she didn't say her anything. She walked away from her house and ran from there. She stopped outside the gate and started crying.

"The girl whom I trusted the most betrayed me". She wiped off her tears and said, "I made him like this so now I'll gonna turn his revenge to love". Saying this she walked away from there.
