A small part here today. But the note at the end is very important. Do read.

Raghav's POV

"Raghav" I heard her mere whisper and turned to look at her.

She looked into my eyes and gave me a scared expression.

Calm down Raghav. She's scared.

I moved to her quickly but she moved back avoiding me.

Going towards her faster, I grabbed her hand and pulled her to myself.

Burrying my face in her hairs, I cried.

For the first time, I cried in front of a person who has not known me.

I feel really guilty about the kiss. I don't know what's happening to me, but I do feel guilty. I regret that kiss.

I never forced someone, and after doing it today, I feel I have changed so much. All because of the few people in my life.

She gently moved away and wiped my tears.

My anger calmed down immediately. And I knew it was all because of her. Don't know what she will do when she comes to know the truth.

I looked around at the mess I had created a while back.

"I.. I am sorry about that...I.." I started speaking but words were not even coming out of my mouth.

"I am really sorry Aaradhya. I really regret the moment. I am very.. so.. sorry" I choked because of the tears.

She looked at Vihaan and he gave her a nod.

She smiled at me and said "it's fine sir..."

"Call me Raghav.. it feels good" I replied with a small smile.

She hesitantly nodded and looked at Vihaan again.

I then went to him and stopped for a brief moment. I stared at him for a moment and then left.

Going into the room, I took my towel and immediately went into the bathroom for a cold shower.

Standing below the cold water I sensed my nerves calm a bit.

Mr. Raghav Malhotra, you have a serious problem. I recommend you to take these pills till then.

Am I not normal?

No no. You are completely normal. And it's completely fine to feel this way. It's just a behavioral problem.

KNOCK KNOCK

Who dared to come in Raghav Malhotra's room.

Angrily wrapping the towel around my waist I walked out. Water drops trickling down my chest.

As I opened the door I was shocked to look at her.

"What happened? Why are you here" I asked in a cold tone. She is the reason I fought with Vihaan.

I do.

Vihaan's words rang in my ears. He loves her too.

She gulped and looked at me and then immediately looked down.

Turning her back towards me, she went a bit far from the room. I frowned looking at her and then realised I was standing here semi - naked in front of her.

"I'll see you later" she started walking but I stopped her "Aaradhya"

She immediately stopped in her place and without looking back, hummed.

"Wait here. I'll just come." Saying so I closed the door and walked towards the walk in closet.

I sighed remembering about the small kiss that happened because of my fault. But what was she here for now?

After getting dressed, I walked outside. Of course, nobody is allowed in my room, so I guess...

"Sir?" I stopped as I heard her. Looking at the side, I saw her waiting near the staircase.

"What is it?"

"Do you have a balcony here?" She asked and I looked at her amused.

Such a critical situation and she's asking if I have a balcony here.

I nodded and went towards the balcony asking her to follow me.

Waiting for about 5 minutes, I finally broke the silence.

"What do you want to say Aaradhya? I have other pending works." I said a bit irritated.

She called me here and she's not even speaking a word.

"Do you remember the case sir?"

"Which case?" I asked her confused.

"Avantika." My blood boiled in anger listening to her name.

"So? What do you want to say about that?" I asked angrily looking outside.

"You know sir, my appa used to say, you should not spoil your entire life because of some people." She looked at me and I saw a shine in her eyes as she spoke about the person.

"Appa? Who?" I asked, not knowing what to say. "Appa, ughhh.. I mean my dad."

Realization dawned on me and I nodded.

"He died in an accident." She said looking at the sky and I sensed her crying.

I wanted to console her. But didn't have the courage. I am myself so broken, that I don't know how to console her.

I heard a sound and looked at the car driving out of my house.

Vihaan left. How did he leave her here?

"Vihaan told me about your girlfriend" I looked at her shocked as she continued

"I don't know who she is. But he told me after she left, you have become this. The person the world sees now, as ruthless."

I realised he hadn't told her the name. And what if she comes to know Avantika was the person.

My own love.

"I don't know what is your side of the story Raghav" and my heart danced happily as she called me Raghav

"But I am sorry for accusing you. Maybe, you haven't forced the girl.. what was her name...umm.." she thought for a few seconds and exclaimed

"Avantika!! Yes! Maybe you haven't forced her. But it's hard for ME to believe."

I looked down hurt because of the words she used.

"You know why?" She asked as I nodded a NO silently.

"Because I don't know the real you. Raghav, a person is always not an extrovert. Some people are too shy, not too expressive. But do you know a secret?"

She looked so beautiful as the moonlight fell on her innocent face. And I knew I needed her.

Not physically, but for the first time in my life, I needed someone emotionally.

"How much ever extrovert the person is, there are always some things hidden about him. Some really personal things. In short, there is always 95% you know about that person."

I looked at her confused as she spoke something I never heard.

"And the remaining 5% is the real you. And that 5% only the person himself knows. I want someone, who knows my 5% too."

I looked at her and noticed as silent tears made way through her eyes.

"You have spoilt much of your life, when a girl who never understood you, left you. But when someone knows your 5% and still decides to stay, then you know she's the one." She looked staright into my eyes.

"I came here to apologise, not because I think it's my fault, but because I think I have no right to judge you. Because I don't know the real you." She said with a humorless chuckle and turned to leave.

"And yeah. I forgive you for the mess that happened. I hope you don't make a mistake again."

Relief. My heart was at relief.

I smiled and nodded as I watched her leave. Smiling at the stars, I sighed.

Her presence calmed me down immediately. I know only she will be able to handle me in my life.

I am so confused. Does Vihaan really love her?

Am I coming in between them? Or am I just overthinking?

As I was about to walk in, I noticed something.

Vihaan was still here?

She sat in his car and they drove away creating a mess inside me again.

But this time a different one.

Precap: "Avantika. She has done all this. And she was my girlfriend."

He sighed looking away. And I knew it was hurting him.
