" bataogi bhi!" Vishal said after waiting a lot.
" Mujhe dono chahiye..I mean, he's my best friend and you are my boyfriend, he's precious for me, I don't want to lose him. And you're so special for me, I don't want to live without you.."She told and Vishal smiled.
" But what will you do about his love towards you?" He asked and she sighed and replied, " It's not me, He himself told me that girl is someone else, I don't know her. "
" What if.."
" Enough Vishal! If I asked you to choose between me and Swara?" She asked being mad at him.
" I'll choose Swara.." Vishal replied. Sai's eyes filled with tears and she asked," why?"
" Because she's my first love.. We can never forget our first love, It's impossible.." He spoke and Sai shook her head, " Then I should also choose Virat, because he is my first love.." she said and Vishal looked at her with astonishment.
" And that day, you lied to me that I am your first.." he asked.
" Because you don't like him and I don't want you to get misunderstood about our friendship." She turned her head away..
" It's already had crossed the limit of friendship.. You both are more than friends.." He told the truth.
" And what about us?" She looked at him with tearbrimmed eyes.
" Our bond is surely special but I don't know yeh rishta kya kehlata hai?" He chuckled sadly.
" If Virat is your choice Sai, then why don't you let me go and free yourself from me.." he asked
" As far as I know that you're no more alone, you have your best friend with you.." She wiped her tears and told while holding his hands, " I can't let you go, Vishal.."
" Don't hurt yourself Sai, It's better if you let me go now.." he withdrew his hands, making her heartbeat stop.
" Take care ❤️" he patted her cheek, lovingly and tears made their way through her eyes. He stood up and Sai held his wrist, " Vishal you can't leave me like this.."
" Sai please.." he rescued his hand from her hold and stepped back.
"Vishal please, stop.." She cried.
Ninad saw her terrible state and went to call Virat..
" Vishal.." she screamed and saw he suddenly disappeared.
" Sai.." Virat came while running towards her.
" Virat please use roko, woh ja raha hai.." she said while panicking and Virat asked while holding her, " kon jaa raha hai?"
" Vishal.. woh mujhe chhod ke jaa raha hai Virat.. please stop him.. main uske bina nahi reh sakti,Virat.. please stop him.." she was crying so badly in Virat's hold. His eyes watered to see her condition become worse.
Sai fell on her knees and pleaded while holding his legs, " please use roko, Virat.."
Virat kept his palm on his mouth, to stop from bursting into cry. He took a deep breath and bent down, " Calm down Sai, I'll bring him back.." he told while unwrapping her hands from his legs.
She stopped crying and looked at him, " will you?"
He nodded his head affirmatively.
" Kaha se layega yeh Vishal ko? Woh Banda exist hi nahi karta hai.." Ninad thought while looking at Virat and went from there.
"Did you know where he is?" She asked when he wiped her tears..
" Nahi.." he whispered and shook his head.
" Phir kaise dhundoge use?" She tilted her head and stared at him with watered eyes.
" Dhund lunga, tumhare liye.." he smiled sadly and tear rolled down his cheeks.
" Mere liye itna kuch kyu karte ho tum, Virat?" She asked.
" Kyuki dost ho tum meri.." He cupped her face and smiled.
" Jisse main bahut pyar karta hu, Sai.." Virat expressed his feelings which made her stunned.
" I can't see you in this state.. " He whispered and Sai felt the extreme pain in her heart. " Tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi.." she asked while looking down.
" Kya fayda? Tum kisi aur se pyar karti ho" Virat asked while being hurt. She pressed her lips and hugged him while wrapping arms around his neck.
" Tum kaafi acche ho Virat, pr main Vishal ke bina nahi reh sakti! " She mumbled while moving back from him.
" I can't live without him.." She told and he stared at her with hurtful eyes, and kept his palm on her cheek.
" Sorry.." She whispered and he closed his eyes, tear of pain trailed down his cheek.
Bheegi bheegi sadkon pe main
Tera intezaar karun
Dheere dheere dil ki zameen ko
Tere hi naam karun
Khudko main yoon kho doon
Ke phir naa kabhi paaun
Haule haule zindagi ko
Ab tere hawaale karun..
She cupped his face and apologized for hurting his feelings. He rested his forehead on hers, their noses brushed against each other's, " I am so sorry.."
Though he loves her so much, but she's still his best friend around her he can pour his heart out. A certain comfort they feel around each other because of the precious bond they share.
