Chapter-53

Author's POV:-

The dark clouds are emitting. There is this unsettling feeling in Jhanvi's heart as she stared outside the window. She has been ignoring Adwait's call from past week... Ever since she got to know that she had known to the fact that she is miscarried.

Her father was discharge four days back and her mother is giving her cold shoulder. It was evening around four when her mother barged into her room. "Naresh uncle family is visiting. Get ready and come." Her mother's cold voice brought her back from her thoughts. "And why is er coming? Isn't he our business rival?" Jhanvi asked and saw her mother leave an irritated breath. "You will know." She said raising her eyebrows.

" Are you trying to set me up with someone?" Jhanvi asked as her mother glared at her. "As if you had something great that I should let you roam. Do you even have any idea that what I had been through when you are hospitalised for miscarriage? My image is ruined and people in our hospital talked about how we spoil you. Which bastard is the father of your baby-" "MOM HE IS NOT A BASTARD. HE IS MY LOVE. I AM GOING TO MARRY HIM!" Jhanvi screamed at top of her lungs that the whole mansion fell silent. All the employees can hear the quarrel between the duo but no one dared to show any emotion.

" I will give you half and hour Jhanvi Arora. Half and hour. If I didn't see you down with a presentable look. Don't expect me to show mercy." She said coldly and left Jhanvi's room. The most dreaded moment came as she was forced to get ready. She tried calling Adwait but the phone went unanswered.

Later exactly after and hour or so. The guests arrived and left to see her father.

That's when the door of her room opened revealing her mother. She glared at her and asked her to come out. With hesitation and dread filled steps.

She went down and sat beside her mother who mostly talked. "Oh Jhanvi dear! You look beautiful! Right Pavan?" Mrs. Naresh asked her son. He just nodded not even looking at her.

He seemed as disinterested in this as she is.

"Okay. Why don't you kids talk in Jhanvi's room?" She glared at her mother who spouted those words. Grunting an "yes" she got up and started walking to her room with Pavan trailing her behind.

"You are Jhanvi Adwait's girlfriend right?" She heard as soon as she entered inside her room. "How did you know about Adwait?" She asked raising her eyebrows. "That's why you should look around your surroundings. I am from same college as you were. Adwait's senior and your super senior. Whole college knows about yours and Vanya's stunts. And cherry on the top. We are rivals" he said smirking. "Is that supposed to scare me?" Jhanvi said raising her eyebrows at him.

"Well. Do you know what the deal is? We will get married and our companies will be signed together. After you complete your study, we both will lead our both companies together. The documents are already getting prepared by me and no! I haven't proposed this allience. Your mother did... I was against this idea since your company is in crisis but but but... She put you as an offer now how can I say no to a beautiful girl like you..." He said and Jhanvi shook her head in disbelief. "I will leave now but in two weeks, get ready to wear my ring on your finger." He said and left her room whistling.

They left after dinner and Jhanvi's mother sat in her office room and is checking some documents when Jhanvi knocked the room door and entered. "I didn't say you should come." Her mother said as she raised her head and looked at Jhanvi.

"What the hell all was that about? You know I love another-" "Love... LOVE LOVE! YOU WILL BE NOTHING BUT A FOOL IN THE END... Like me..." Her mother grunted and slammed the table infront of her before getting up from her chair.

"I was foolishly was in love with your father too... But for men, it wasn't love they want. It's physical intimacy. It's the sadistic pleasure they want. Your heart will mean nothing to these heartless creatures. I am a live example Jhanvi. Get over this love etc. Love is not meant for us. Love is a myth! There is nothing such true love and no one... When I say no one will love you with all your imperfections... It's just a facade. To get into your bed and that's all they all want in the end." She quietly heard her mother. "Ma, just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean everyone does! I love Adwait ma. Try to understand.. we love eachother." Jhanvi said meaning each word she uttered.

"No. As I said. Love is a lie. Pavan is a good person, he will take care of you better than that boy. He have money, fame, own company and.... A family to look after any good and bad...unlike that bastard.." Her mother said eyeing her at last sentence and Jhanvi gritted her teeth.

"Even after having a family he have no values! Adwait does. And yeaah! I am rejecting this marriage and I am going to him!" Jhanvi said gritting her teeth.

"Did you tell him about your stunt?" Her mother asked raising an eyebrow to which Jhanvi looked down. She didn't meant to hide the most important thing about them. She just need sometime...

"So... You didn't tell that bastard about your stupidity. How cheap of you to sleep with a man who doesn't even have a family! He is a bastard so was the baby that died in your wom-" "MOM! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT ADWAIT! AND YES I AM GOING TO HIM!" Jhanvi screamed.

*Slap*

" You have brought enough disgrace to the family by getting miscarriage because of that bastard. That child.... How could you even do such sluttish things Jhanvi Arora? You are not even suitable to be a daughter you worthless bitch." Her mother said as tear brimmed in Jhanvi's eyes ..

"And this worthless bitch will leave now!" Jhanvi grunted as more tears fell from her eyes. She turned to go as her mother called for her. But that was the last time she will go. She have trust in her Adwait! He wouldn't let her down. They will take care of this together.

Vanya's POV:-

One week passed with Jhanvi's absense. No reply for messages and no call backs too. I sighed thinking about her parents. They are worse when it comes to Jhanvi.

As of what we heard from her grandmother, Jhanvi's mother was from a rich family and so is her father. They used to date in college time and her mother was conceived. Her father wanted an abortion but her mother didn't. When her father's family got to know, they arranged a wedding for them against her father's wishes. Initially her mother tried but gave up when she found him cheating on her. That's why her parents always fought.

We actually got to know when we were sixteen. That was when a huge fight happened in home while Jhanvi's maternal grandmother was staying over. Jhanvi grew up without love from her parents the most.

I suddenly got a call while thinking about all this and I looked at  caller to see it is Adwait Bhaiyya. I immediately answered the call. "Is Jhanvi talking to you? She is not responding to my calls! Did she tell you anything?" He shoot me with questions and I sighed. "No, she didn't. I called her mother but she isn't responding too " I said now sitting in the couch.

"Oh... Tell me if she calls you Vanya. I am really worried. She have never- wait a minute I will call you later." He immediately cut the call making me frown. I went to the balcony and stood as the winds of Delhi blew faster. I looked up at the evening sky which is dark and cloudy with no stars. It is going to rain... I thought. Suddenly a pair of black eyes staring at me flashes infront of my eyes making me close them.

"It's over." Those words continued to ring in my ears making me hold my breath. I gripped the balcony railings tightly as tears brimmed in my eyes. "Will this pain have any end?"

Adwait's POV:-

I was in a call with Vanya when I got a picture from unknown number. It is a picture of Jhanvi, her mother, Pavan and his mother saying the caption sealing the deal and a hashtag future wife and hastag Jaan with a heart. My breath hitched as I saw Jhanvi. She looked beautiful... I frowned thinking what she is planning and more than anger... I felt hurt.

It took my every ounce of struggle not to throw the damn phone. I locked it and threw it on the bed. May be it's all a lie. She would definitely don't do that... But why didn't she tell me?

Suddenly another message popped from the same number and it has some reports. I opened it and saw Jhanvi's name as patient... Abortion... And the date was one week back... I felt tears brimming in my eyes... And saw one tear fell on my phone screen, as the others followed.

Jhanvi's POV:-

It was late in night and already I booked immediate flight tickets for night in the evening.

I took my luggage slowly and carefully not to make a noise. I slowly ran down and went to the back door of kitchen where Sitamma is waiting. She opened the door for me and closed it with as I left. The cab I booked waited for me on the back side of our home.

I placed my luggage inside and sat in the cab finally settling down. " Drive to airport fastly please." I breathed down and leaned against the seat.

As soon as we reached the airport, I paid him and went inside the aiport and boarded the plane.

Leaning against the seat I tried to close my eyes to catch some sleep. But that's the last thing that will greet me... And I never knew that would be lasting for years...

After few hours I finally stepped out from airport and immediately wrapped my hands around myself. It's so cold.

I called Adwait but the phone went unanswered. I tried for few times and contemplated whether to call Surya. It's late in night and he is the only option so I called him and he lifted the call after couple of rings.

"Hello Jhanvi?" He said as soon as he lifted the call.

"Um.. bro I am in airport can you pick me? I tried to reach Adwait but I couldn't. He is not answering" I said and heard few murmurs in the background before he said he is coming.

Soon in twenty minutes he came and I settled in his car. "Sorry I had to call you in the late night... I don't know anyone here that would come late at this night and Adwait is not picking calls." I said fidgeting with my phone. It feels odd to talk with your best friend's ex.

"It's okay. I am glad you pick me." He said smiling a little. I wanted to ask about Vanya but kept quiet. It isn't the right time now all I need is peace. And my man's arms around me.

We soon reached Adwait's place and I thanked him. He helped me carry my luggage even though I protested. We stood outside and rang the calling bell and soon the door is opened. An angry, red eyed Adwait came out and looked at me as I have done some crime. I looked down at his hand which is bleeding and tried to touch him but he jerked away.

"Why did you come?" He growled and I stepped closet to him only to be pushed back. Surya immediately held me and straightened. "Adwait! Not now. It's late-" "you think I give a fuck? She fucking cheated on me!" He said and I stood confused about what he was talking.

"Look Addy. I think it's a misunderstanding. We will clear it first let me come inside-" "There is nothing you have to explain. I should have known that you are playing with my heart! How fucking dare you to abort my baby to marry another man!" He growled and I gasped trying to absorb everything he just said. My head is spinning as I saw the disgust on his face for me.

"Let me expla-" "Fucking leave Jhanvi. I need time. Fucking leave we will tal-" *Slap* "WILL FUCKING LISTEN TO ME OR NOT? STOP FUCKING ASSUMING THE WORST! I DIDNT CHEAT ON YOU AND IT WAS A MISCARRIAGE NOT AN ABORTION!" I screamed at him as he held his cheek tightly.

"LEAVE. NOW." he said and pushed me outside again. "What the fuck Adwait? Hear her put first." Surya said entering inside with glower.

"I need time Surya please." Adwait said in a low tone and I can feel my heart breaking as tears fell from my eyes. "Atleast let her stay-" "I don't want her presence near me for sometime so please..." He said and Surya gave me a sympathetic look before taking my hand and guiding me out. "I am sure you had your reasons. Don't worry. We will sort this out. For now you can stay with Vanya.  I am sure he will understand if you explain him." Surya said softly and I leaned on his shoulder... Tears are not stopping and I tried so much to not cry hard infront him but as he creased my hands with one hand I lost it. I felt the car stop but didn't care as I hugged his shoulder and let the pain out as I cried. I felt his hands creasing my head.

"Heartbreaks are inevitable in life no matter how hard you love that person. There will be a time where you have to stay apart. That's when you know how strong your bond will be. If he really loves you he will come around. Have a hope and give him a little time." He said as I nodded at composed myself. We are infront of an apartment and he asked me to get off. He helped me pick my luggage and we went to the third floor through elevator.

"Call her." He said and I looked at him and did as I was said. Soon Vanya opened the door and first she looked at me. She then looked at Surya and they exchanged few glances as if they are conversing with eyes. She sighed and let us in. "You want to talk about it?" I heard Vanya and shook my head in no. "I am tired." I said honestly and she showed me the room. I closed the door and heard her say "Not you Mr. Where are you leaving? We need to talk!" I closed all the thoughts for the time being and laid on the bed... I realised how fake promises are... I realised why trust is important which we are lacking... I realised the bunch of lies we all are living in that to think that people will love us as we do no matter what... 

I closed my eyes with a deep breath wondering what the future has in stored for us.

Surya's POV:-

"Not you Mr. Where are you leaving? We need to talk!" I heard her say and sighed before turning to her. She folded her arms at her chest.

"I am tired too?" I said and mentally facepalmed myself when I realised it came rather as a question than a statement. I am not that tired a actually but I have to leave. I can't stay here in her presence more or that will break my resolution to make few things right.

"Atleast be sure with yourself." She said narrowing her eyes at me.

"What do you want? Wait atleast your friend herself come and tell you." I snapped at her and she raised her eyebrows at me. "One question! She normally would stay with Adwait right?" She asked. I nodded yes. "They fought." I said with a shrug and saw her shoulders slump. "What's with you both making sure to break our hearts!?" She said and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Says the one who broke up with me!" I said with a scoff. " I already said that I thought you would choose me. I would still come to you if you ask me to. But you won't! Cause you thought it would be better if I stay away right?" She asked in a low voice making me sigh.

I took few steps towards her and stood infront of her. I creased her cheek and watched as she leaned into my touch making me smile a little. " Wait for me." I said before taking few steps back and leaving her apartment... Cause I am not sure myself what I will do if I stay some more time with her.
