Friends but not friends

Chapter 18

Chetnaya froze at his place by listening everything. His vision turned blurry. Once again they were comparing his mistakes with their mistakes. What if Arnav changed his mind after listening to them? Why always in every situation he was declared wrong, no matter what he did? When he was pushing Arnav away from himself, people around him were telling him that he was wrong in doing it. Now when he is standing with Arnav then also they are pointing him out. Why God Why?

Arnav- "Are you really feeling sorry? I don't think so."

Nirwan- "We are."

Arnav- "No, you are not. You are busy in comparing yourself with him."

Firoz- "Hum to sirf apna point of view bata rahe hai."

Arnav- "Nahi, tum usse neecha dikha rahe ho."

Firoz- "aap galat samjh rahe ho"

Nirwan – "Vo aapke itne close the phir bhi aapko nahi samajh sake isliye hume vo jyda galat lage."

Arnav – "to isse mein jyda hurt hua. Galti to utni hi thi na jitni tumhari thi."

Nirwan- "Chetnaya bhaiya aap samjao na inhe ki hum kya kehna chahte hai."

Arnav – "Wah, jiske sath galat kiya ussi se madad bhi mang rahe ho. Vo bevkoof ek baar phir se apni feelings ko ignore karke tumhari madad ke liye tayar bhi ho jayega."

Nirwan – "Jab unhone hi aap par bharosa nahi kiya to hume laga ki vo sahi bol rahe honge."

Arnav- "tumhari tarah vo bhi influence ho sakta hai. Jante kitna ho usse jo khud se compare kar rahe ho. Vo pehla insaan tha jo mera dost bana tha team mein. Jab bhi meri kharab performance hoti thi to vo hota tha mere sath. Uski presence mujhe confidence deti thi ki mein bhi kuch kar sakta hu. Har baar isne raat bhar apne baarein mein soche bina mera dhyan rakha. Jab bhi jarurat thi vo mere sath tha, bas us ek din ko chod kar. Insaan hai vo bhi ho gayi usse galti. Sirf us din ke karan tumne usse worst friend bol diya to tum khud ko kya bologe jisne kabhi kuch nahi kiya. Jis din Chetnaya ka 1 percent bhi ban jao na us din baat karna."

Firoz- "Aisa nahi hai."

Arnav – "bahar jane ka rasta udhar hai."

It was so insulting for them. They can not apologize more, so they started moving out. In addition, they cannot handle Arnav when he was angry. When they were moving out Arnav stopped them and said, "Mein yaha apne past ko peeche chodne ke liye aaya tha. Mere sath jo tumne kiya tha, uske liye mein tumhe maaf karta hu."

Firoz – "Thank you bhaiya thank you such."

Arnav- "Lekin jo Chetnaya ke sath tum dono ne kiya uske liye nahi. I don't want to meet you ever. Good bye"

When they left, Chetnaya staggered. It looked like he was waiting for them to go so that he could breathe. Every person have end point in their life and this time it was for Chetnaya. Arnav thought that how they all suffered. Once incident changed everyone's life.

Chetnaya – "Am I worst person."

Arnav- "Please Chetnaya, abhi nahi"

Mitali- "Arnav cool down. Usse khud nahi samajh aa raha ki vo kya bol raha hai."

Arnav- "kya cool down. Chetnaya, tujhe ye sunana hai na ki sari galti teri hai to haan sari galti teri hi hai. Duniya mein jo bhi galat hota hai na, sabka jimmedar tu hai. Russia ne Ukraine par attack kiya tu galat. Earthquake aaya, teri galti hai. Kuch bhi ho teri vajah se hi hota hai."

With a sad smile, Chetnaya asked Arnav, are you regretting your decision?

Arnav – "Mein jo bol raha hu vo to tujhe manana nahi hai aur un logo ki baat ko tu importance de raha hai. Aaj jab Mein tere sath aage badhna chah raha hu to tu peeche mud kar kyu dekh raha hai. Kyu mere sath aage nahi badh sakta? Kyu baar baar peeche ja raha hai aur mujhe bhi lekr ja raha hai. Jitna bhul kar mein aage badhne ki koshish karta hu tujhe aise dekh kar vapis peeche chala jata hu.
