Biggest betrayal //🌙

Shubman's viewpoint :

"Maine tumhe har janm mein dekha hai, tum hamesha isi tarah toot jaate ho." Samay uncle's words striked me.

"Har janm?" I asked him in astonishment.

"Teen life hain tumhare, tum doosre ho. Har life mein tumhara fate hai yahi hota hai, par phir bhi tum alag ho, mere favourite ho. Anushree ki death fated hai par woh hamesha sudden hoti hai. Apne teeno life mein sabse bura fate tumhara hi hai. Sirf tum hamesha se yeh baat jaante the ki woh kisi bhi din jaa sakti hai, phir bhi tumne usse itna pyaar kiya aur hamesha use bachane ki koshish ki." Uncle explained further.

"Par main phir bhi kuch nahi kar paaya. Meri past life ki mistakes ki wajah se iss life mein usne itne problems face kiye aur ultimately... yeh sab meri hi galti hai." I sobbed.

"Nahi beta, yeh tumhari galti nahi hai." He tried consoling me.

"Agar woh mujhse kabhi mili hi nahi hoti toh uske saath yeh sab kabhi nahi hota.." I sniffed.

"Tum usse milna chahte ho?" Uncle asked me all of a sudden and my heart skipped a beat.

"Par kaise..? Woh toh exist hi nahi karti.." I whispered.

"Iss life mein nahi karti, par kahin toh karti haina." He smiled.

What does he even mean? Is he talking about Anushree's past life?

"Par-" I was about to ask him when I heard a knock on my room door.

I guess it's mumma. I'll have to hide Samay uncle somewhere as I've no explanations for his existence and particularly, the reason of him being here with me.

"Uncle, aap balcony mein.." I was speaking when he cut me off.

"Tum meri tension mat lo." He mentioned and gestured me to open the door.

How am I going to explain his presence here? Gosh, I don't know what to do.

I walked up to the door and slightly opened it to see Vihaan standing by. What is he doing here?

"Can I.. come in..?" He asked me in a weak voice.

I didn't say anything, just let him in. I looked at Samay uncle next and he's smiling at me, but Vihaan doesn't seem to be affected by his presence at all.

"Come.. sit." I gestured him to and he sat on the bed, right next to Samay uncle.

"Umm.. I quit my job." Vihaan finally spoke up after a while.

"I couldn't live with the guilt..." He added before I could ask anything.

"It's not your fault..." I muttered softly.

If anyone is to be blamed, it's me. Anushree died my death in both our previous and current life so it's certainly me who is responsible for all the suffering that my poor girl had to go through. I hate myself to the core for this. It's me who killed her, the villain is me.

"It is.. it is my fault Shubman.." Vihaan's eyes turned moist as he said so.

"I know you'll want to kill me for this.. and I do deserve it.." He added lowering his lashes.
