Sneha came back after her convo with sameer and Vijay

Simran - why don't you join us

sneha- where?

Anjali - Simran ke ghar

Seema- what an amazing idea, let's spend time together

Sneha - I would love too

Sameer, Vijay went to look for raj, but he was not there, they didn't find his bike too

Sameer- ye kahaan chala gaya

Vijay - let me call him

Vijay called raj but he didn't receive the call

Vijay - mobile bhi nahi utha raha

sameer - mujhe tension ho rahi hai

Vijay - ghar gaya hoga

sameer - itni jaldi ghar tho nahi jaayega wo

meanwhile Simran, seema, Anjali, sneha came to inform them that they are going to simran's house , simran looked for raj, he was not around them so she asked

Simran - raj kahaan hai?

Sameer and Vijay looked at each other, they didn't want her to be worried so they lied to her

Sameer - wo ghar chala gaya uski mom ka call aaya so

Simran - oh ok , chalo chalte hai

Sameer booked a cab for them and they went

RAJ 'S POV

After listening to sameer and Vijay I was in an emotional mess, I didn't know what to do, my legs froze , my heart stopped beating, I was numb, their words echoed in my ears

" STAY AWAY FROM SIMRAN "

The thought staying away from her was making me crazy , I was completely lost, I kept thinking , but Vijay and sameer were right if I don't trust her I should stay away from her, by going close to her I am making her trust me too, it's wrong, I don't want her to get attached to me to get heart broken in the end

I saw her from the corner of my eyes she kept looking at me with a worrisome expression , I couldn't even concentrate on the lecture which was going on, I was feeling so suffocated, I felt like my heart beat might stop at any moment, thankfully the lecture got ended and I got out of the classroom, I heard Simran 's voice, my heart started beating again normally, a smile appeared on my face and again

" STAY AWAY FROM SIMRAN " THIS SENTENCE ECHOED IN MY EARS, MY SMILE VANISHED, I TURNED TOWARDS HER

She looked at me in confusion and she was so worried

She asked me if I am fine or not, i simply nodded my head and left from there quickly if I would stay there any longer I would just hug her and kiss her madly

I took my bike keys and started the bike, I didn't go to home because I didn't have answer for my mother's questions, so I stopped in front of my usual space, I parked my bike in front of that small cafe day

This is the place which makes me feel relaxed, I usually come here when I am in an emotional mess, this place was extremely cute, it was a small cafe day but it was decorated beautifully with posters bollywood's most famous scenes , Bollywood movies dialogues on one side of the wall , the lightening was so pretty, and they play all classic Bollywood melodies

I sat on a chair, the waiter came to me to get the order, I ordered a coffee, I asked him to get an usual one which I drink always, strong one , the waiter knew me very well, he looked at me and asked

"sir are you ok? "

I smiled and nodded my head

he left to get the order

I closed my eyes , I can't stop thinking about Simran, our moments together, our first meet, first almost kiss, the way she held me close to her during her anxiety attack, she trusted me so much and told me about her psychiatric treatment, a lone tear passed from my eyes

meanwhile the waiter arrived with my order

"Sir, your order" , he said

I opened my eyes to look at him and thanked him

I sipped my coffee, and kept thinking about her , my mobile rang, I took my mobile, it was Vijay, I didn't want to speak to anyone right now, so I didn't pick the call

I called the waiter again and ordered fries and burger , I was hungry and I didn't want to go to home so I thought of eating something here , after sometime waiter brought my order

I ate some burger and some fries, and sat there for a while, I closed my eyes again,almost 2hours passed in seconds,I kept thinking about Simran, her thoughts were not leaving me , not even for a second...

May be this feeling is deep, may be I like her deeply, I thought to myself, may be sameer and Vijay are right it's time to move on from my past but I can't trust her, not her I can't trust anyone right now, I don't want to be broken again, the flash backs of that night came into my mind

When I saw vidhi with vickey, they were

sleeping together, they were naked, I opened my eyes immediately and got up from the chair, no I can't go through this again, I can't trust any women, I fisted my hand angrily , I kept the money on the table, and left from there

I didn't drove back to home, but went to my other favourite place, it was a sunset spot

I sat there on the bench , I layed down on the bench

SIMRAN 'S POV

We all went to my house, i knocked at the door, mom opened the door and she was surprised to see all my friends there, she smiled and hugged them and welcomed them

mom asked us to go to my room and get freshen up , she will bring something to eat

We all went to my room, sneha visited to our house for the first time , she looked at my room with a smile

Sneha- your room is so pretty

( she said with a smile)

thank you, I said with a smile

We all sat on the couch, rested our back which was still hurting because we were sitting for a long time

Anjali - uff my back is paining

Sneha- same here

Seema- such a busy day

I smiled looking at them, they all were so tired

Meanwhile mom came with tea and pasta

I almost jumped seeing pasta bowls in her hand

I love pasta so much, I said and took one bowl immediately and sat on the couch and started eating

mom smiled and asked us to finish it and take some rest

All my friends grabbed the bowls of pasta as soon as mom left, and we all laughed loudly

"it's so yummy , said sneha

"Aunty makes the best pasta", praised Seema and Anjali

after finishing our lunch, we got freshen up one by one and laid down on my bed , I kept looking at the ceiling, I was still thinking about Raj

I moved my head towards sneha who was sleeping beside me

" Raj ko Kya huwa hai" , I asked her

"wo wo" , she started stammering

"sneha Kya huwa hai, kuch huwa hai Kya?" , I asked her again

she got up and sat , we all got up and sat

"he was behaving strangely with Simran, I noticed it too" , Anjali said

"even I noticed, after that ki".. seema stopped in between and continued after some time

" it's weird how his mood swings within a second", said seema

I looked at sneha and was waiting for her reply

"he is in emotional mess", sneha replied by looking at me

After some time of silence between us, she started speaking again

"He needs you" , she said by looking at me, she continued to speak

"he needs you so badly but he doesn't want to be with you any more "

"What " , I asked her in shock

my heart started beating so fast, he doesn't want to be with me any more, my tears were almost coming out after hearing those words

Everyone looked at me, sneha kept her hand on my hand

" he has gone through so much Simran, we thought the break up was usual one but it was not, I got to know about it today " sneha said and started crying

I hugged her immediately, and patted her back, Anjali brought water for her , I made her drink the water

"He needs you, pls don't leave him, he is like a brother to me,it hurts to see him like this" , sneha said by looking at me with her teary eyes
