Vicious Best Friend

15. Zain

" I thought it was just friendship but it has always been more than that and............I love you so much and I know people can't understand you, sometimes even I can't but I know what you mean to me ."

My heart freezes for a moment when I just can't trust what I heard. I don't move and take my time to register what she just said . I want to forever remember this moment but she shouldn't know I heard it . Afterall she didn't want to tell me on my face so all I can do it wait.

She said she can't understand me sometimes but I think she's the only one who can tolerate me . I get up and freshen up before leaving the room but when I walk out there are much more people than I can bear with .
Ishani is sitting on a couch with a tab in her hand while Crystal is talking to her .

"This one is better, you'll look cute on your first day in campus" she giggles.
"Done , what about this one ?" Ishani questions clicking on the tab .

"Have breakfast before you spend hours looking for stuff online " shruti speaks placing a plate in front of Shivay who is sitting on the dining across Abhimanyu who is busy gaping at Crystal with his fist under his chin . Coco is standing behind a chair and looking at the scene just like me . Devansh is busy eating food as if he's been hungry for decades and kainat is talking on the phone .

"Zain , come join "shruti speaks and I'm about to shake my head in a negative response but Coco smiles looking at me and points at a chair next to Shivay who is glaring at me .

"Ye yha kyu hai " abhimanyu asks with a raised brow.

"I could ask the same question to you " Crystal speaks finally shifting her focus from Ishani's tab as I take the seat and inayat places a plate in front of me .

"Ask me for anything love " abhimanyu smiles and Crystal tilts her head before speaking "Okay, get lost "

Shivay does a spit-take and Abhimanyu's smile fades away .

"I'll do anything but that"

"Fine , just ignore me " she waves a hand but He sighs "can't "

"Who is this guy "shivay suddenly questions showing his phone to abhimanyu who shakes his head "no idea" .

It's a pic of kiaan with a guy and they both are smiling while holding shoulders of each other .

"Anish Barot " I speak placing my phone on the side before I pick up a spoon .

"I haven't seen him before " shivay speaks still looking at the photo.

I nod before speaking " he doesn't stay here and is totally from a different world . There is something mysterious about him . I've mostly seen them both together so whenever he comes it is to pay a visit to his brother from another mother , kiaan Raghuvanshi"

Suddenly I hear a bash and I turn around to find that ishani's tab fell on the ground and its sceen is completely broken .

"What happened to you all of a sudden"crystal questions but ishani shakes her head .

"Kuch ni " she gets up and rushes inside her room.

"I hope he's not another asshole who creates problems every now and then " abhimanyu speaks.

"He's much more than that " I chuckle and shivay sighs.

After having breakfast with them I head out and I don't know why but I turn around to see Coco again . I'm still here and I'm already missing her .

"I'll see you later " I kiss her forhead and she smiles but a very strange kind of smile.
Maybe there is a lot going on in her head and she even wanted to die is a very big thing . If I think about it reasonably now then I need to find the cause.

I'll use every means to find out but for that I will have to take kavish's help .

When I reach back to the Mansion, my day is very busy because I've to take care of most of the things when Archit is not here . At the evening , I spend my time searching for the reason Inayat wanted to take such a step . Kavish brings me her call details and everything necessary. She didn't receive any suspicious call but lately she's getting texts from a number which has left me in doubt .

But my phone rings and it's a call from ishani . When I take the call , I'm startled.

"Is inu with you?"

"No why "

"She's is missing , I thought she had gone to take class but apparently nobody saw her in the campus too "

"I'll be right there keep looking "

I drive the fastest I can and reach the apartment to find all of them looking for her .

"Her bags and her passport is not here " shruti speaks "I can't even believe her "

"What if she has gone back home " ishani adds.

"I talked to her dad" kainat walks out holding her phone " she's not there "

I immideatly exit the house and my heart is beating like a drun right now. What if she tries to do that stupidity again ? What if something bad happens to her ?

I shake the thoughts away while walking downstairs and dial her number. It's unavailable.

"Where the fuck did you go Coco " I speak walking towards my car.

When I open the door , my vision is blocked by a white cloth which is pressed againt my nose and I turn around to find two guys but before I could grab them , my eyelids turn heavy and legs turn lifeless making my body hit the floor.
