And it is official! Kalank will release here as well❤️💫

Third person P.O.V
And so the betrayers entered the house, looking very angry, and slammed the door behind them.

"SIDHARTH! WHERE ARE YOU?! WE NEED ANSWERS AND FAST!", Karan shouted.

"Karan? Can you please lower your voice a bit? My head hurts", Shraddha asked.

He shot her a dead glare and she sighed a short "okay" and quietly stepped backwards. She nodded friendly to Sidharth's parents, but they, surprisingly, shot her a dead glare as well.

Well for Christ's sake! I haven't done a single thing!

Shraddha remained quiet and went to the kitchen to get herself a drink.

Meanwhile, Arjun had come downstairs.

He was carrying a bag of paprika chips while drinking a beer

"Arjun! Where the fuck is Sidharth? I want to talk to him! He didn't answer my calls or my messages.! Tell me, where the fuck is he?"

Arjun continued on eating. Then he laughed. "Well, if you keep treating him like shit anyways, why would he want to listen to you? You're crazy man!"

He drunk his beer, let a loud burp and walked away.

"Ugh! I can't believe my son is living with these people", Sidharth's mom exclaimed. "They're so rude!"

"Well, at least our daughter is getting married to a well behaved man", Alia's mom says.

"Your daughter. She isn't mine anymore", Alia's dad answer without any emotion.

Karan smiled and laughed. "Let's see, who's getting a good deal now?", he smirked. He went near the trap and laughed again. Then he climbed the stairs and continued his way to Sidharth's room. The door was open.

Karan smirked once again and opened the door. He looked around. The bed was tidy and neat, the clothes were tidy and the room was tidy. There was nothing unusual.

Karan growled. He walked downstairs as quickly as possible and walked to Shraddha. He grabbed her by her collars.

"Tell me.... Shraddha.. WHERE IS SIDHARTH?", he asked furiously. He shaked her a few times, before she could answer.

"Uhm... I..I..I ..", she stuttered.

Arjun came in between and released Shraddha from Karan. "What are you doing man? Are you crazy? She's a woman and you're misbehaving with her! Are you dumb?", he asked seriously.

"Arjun, what is your problem man? I'm busy can't you see that?", he said. He released Shraddha and gazed Arjun.

Their eyes were fighting a intense battle. Sparks were flying around when Karan gave up and looked away.

He walked away. "I'll come back when he's here! And you'll better be prepared!"

Shraddha was still a bit shocked. How did he dare to do that to her? She gently touched her neck. It was warm and soft and was hurting.

She narrowed her eyes as she saw him leaving. She had to do it. Now. The time wouldn't come again and this would be her only opportunity.

"Wait a minute. Karan! Why did you come here anyways? What is your deal with Sidharth?", she stated loudly.

Karan sighed deeply. He turned around. Sidharth and Alia's parents rolled their eyes. "Karan, we're going. We have better things to do than to listen to this. Let's go!" They slammed the doors behind their backs and walked away.

"Wait! I'll come in a minute, let me sort this out please?! Wait! Wait for me!",

But the door was already closed.

He sighed again. "Well, this is just great! Awesome! They're such stupid people! I won't even give them their part of the money!
He sat down and stared at the wall in front of him.

Arjun and Shraddha exchanges looks. Something was about to happen and they knew it.

"I'm going to ask you one more time. Just answer the question. He has only 2 weeks left, before he's getting married to Alia. So, just answer me. Where is Sidharth?", he asked surprisingly calm.

"I haven't got a clue. He was here but he left. He was going to his parents' house, he said.", Shraddha answered while trying not to laugh. She was desperate to laugh, since Karan was so "surprisingly calm" in the stressful situation. He looked like he could explode from the inside any moment.

"Hmm. I'll be back. Till then keep waiting for me.", he said.

He grabbed his coat and put his shoes back on and left the house. He slammed the door behind himself and walked away.

Arjun's P.O.V
As I entered the bathroom, I smelt something sweet. I heard someone singing.

I took a look at the clothes that were laying on the table. Parineeti was showering!

She sang a song. I laughed and went to my room.

I suddenly heard a voice talking. "Is it safe Arjun?"

I answered positively. Then Sidharth slowly crawled to the edge of the bed and stood up. "Arjun, your bed stinks! What have you hidden there man? Ugh, it's really bad!"

I rolled my eyes. I basically saved his life and this is how he thanks me! I have such great friends!

"Dude! I saved your ass from Karan and than you say this to me? I'm deeply disappointed in you.."

"Relax man! I'm going already..."

"It's a joke.."

"I know." He left.

Varun's P.O.V
I arrived at the hotel where Alia was staying in . Shraddha gave me the address and told me that I should make it up as soon as possible.

I'm nervous. What if she doesn't want me in her life anymore? What if she absolutely hates me, for a crime I didn't commit? What if she believes the entire Karan bullshit?

I can't afford to lose her. I've know her for more than 6 years and I don't want to ruin our friendship. It so beautiful. She has grown so much in her career. I wouldn't know how to live without her. She is my everything.

I smiled sheepishly and made my way to the door of the hotel. It was a big white building with big doors and lots of windows and lights.

Skip time—> 5 minutes later

This is it. This must be her room. Room number 28. I gathered my confidence. If she rejects me, then at least I tried.

I'm about to knock on the door when I see, that the door isn't locked. It's open! And that, while it's almost evening!

I still knock on the door. "Come in! The door is open!"

I enter the hall and remove my shoes and coat. When I enter the room, I see a heartbreaking scene.

Alia is sitting on her bed while looking at the wall, listening to Samjhawan, while looking at her photo albums. I recognise one of the albums. Those where the ones which she had made especially for SOTY.

Another one was for Humpty, and the one for Badri I see as well. These three albums are open and Alia is watching the photos with wet eyes.

I quietly walk towards her phone and I turn the music off. I gather my confidence. It is now or never.

She is about to turn around when I hug her from behind. Hard. She is frozen and does not do a single thing.

I smell her delicious perfume. God, I've missed her.

"Alia. I'm so sorry. I didn't know anything about the contract. Shraddha explained"

She turns around. "Give me one good reason why I should believe you?!"

"Well, because as you know, Karan-"

"None! Okay! Leave please! I don't want to hear from you! Congratulations! You just threw away 6+ years of friendship! Go life your life Dhawan!

But I'm not willing to go yet. It hurts, a lot to hear those words. Especially out of her mouth. But I don't want to leave like this. I want her to become my friend again.

"Alia.. please. I'm begging you... I did not know about the contract."

"Hello?! Why are you still here? I told you to go, didn't I?"

"But Alia.."

"I SAID GO!"

I can't. She isn't willing to be my friend anymore. I didn't do it! Goddamn! It hurts. It hurts so much.

"Alia.. you do not know the story... Shraddha explained it to me... Listen to her please..But do not give up on me.. Not yet... I love you so much Alia.."

I don't even notice the point where I'm crying and my vision is becoming blurry. I'm deeply disappointed and sad that it had to end like this.

I hug her even tighter and start crying. "Alia, damn! I love you! I can't lose a friend like you! You're my everything?! What is my life without a friend like you?! Alia please, I need you!", I cry even harder

"It can't end like this! That's not fair! I didn't do anything! Let it end in every way but this! Alia, please let me in your life again!"

"Stop", a weak voice says. "I can't handle this. Not now." Alia stands up and removes me from her room. And I'm left there speechless.

"Alia.... Will you please accept my apology?", I beg her silently.

Hello! It took me a while, but here it is! I already published this chapter, but for some reason no one could read it? So I wrote it again and extended it a bit.

I'm a bit ill, as I'm having a serious cold right now. And spring has just begun. Like who has that😭😩

I love you all very much and appreciate your comments and votes!

Love💕
