Neiyat's POV:

I switched on the tv and every media channel kept shouting about Aahir being arrested. My family was being hounded. Kakkars kept giving statements about how Aahir was jealous about their son and that how he was interested in me however I was in love with Ved and how Aahir went beating down Ved to death in his jealousy but there wasn't a single statement released from Sehgals or Kapoors.

The media kept blaming ugly shabby things about how Aahir is a goon in clothes of a doctor and how his license must be cancelled. I was done with all the shit and I stood up wiping my tears and asked Aaryan to take me to the police station. But when he objected I threatened him if he won't take I will drive myself with my dislocated shoulder. Knowing the stubborn me, Aaryan took me to the police station.

The minute media saw me, they all went gaga and pounced upon me for bytes. But I somehow managed to dodge them and entered the police station. I saw Aaru aunty, Mihir uncle, Dad, Lavanya and Daadu explaining them. Although the police was well behaved with Daadu knowing the respect he had in the country Aahir was denied bail because he had beaten up Ved so badly that he was in ICU right now.

Everyone kept explaining but nothing happened. Aaru aunty was crying badly and I felt extremely guilty. I took a step forward saying...

'I need to record my statement too Officer. If there is a FIR going to be launched against Aahir and it's non bailable then please arrest Mr Kakkar and their family as well please I shouted' while Kakkars who stood in a corner looked furious.

'This girl is a liar officer...she is trying to shift blames!!!' Ved's mother said and I smirked saying...

'That bungalow where your son attempted to rape me has multiple CCTV cameras mam!!! Including the bedroom!!! There are enough proofs to show your son's true face!!!' I spat leaving Ved's mother numb. She had nothing to argue now.

'Officer...last night Mr Ved Kakkar attempted to rape me. It was Mr Aahir Sehgal who saved me. You can check upon my medical certificates which confirm I was been manhandled. My family here is only trying to protect my image but I don't think somebody's image is made or tarnished if they get raped. It's the rapist who's image is tarnished. It's the rapist who should be shamed and not the victim. We go through pain and unexplainable trauma but rapists are like Ved let go off free. No....Never Officer. Please arrest him.' I said and that's when Mr and Mrs Kakkar tried to bargain...

But this time Daadu spoke up...
'And also arrest Mr and Mrs Kakkar for threatening my family of dowry. They expected money, property and jewellery from us and the proof is the phone call my son has on his office phone call logs recorded when Mr Kakkar asked for it' and now Ved's parents were ready to take back the case. But I wasn't!!!

I couldn't let a monster like Ved roam free. So I denied of the same and we were ready to fight it in the court. That's when Lavanya interrupted and we saw the same tall man who had beaten up Ved on my engagement night in the police station.

'Hi Officer ...Aditya Raj Suryavanshi!!! Here is my lawyer along with me and these are Mr Aahir's bail approvals. Also Mr and Mrs Kakkar please look into this pendrive. It has all illegal activities listing may it be the business, the wrongs he was involved in, infact the political party he wanted to represent him as their candidate has also chucked him off and I'm sure you would be receiving a phone call from the CM shortly. So its better you withdraw the case else you will loose your son but you will also loose your living and be on roads in a matter of few hours!!! If this leaks out you can imagine your share value, your investors will pull out, your son has lifted a huge sum of money from the market...you will be bankrupt and to add on your Idiotic son attempted to touch D.K's granddaughter. I don't know if he will even see the next sunrise!!!' he smirked while Mr and Mrs Kakkar looked at my Daadu and dad who shot them a death glare.

In no time they withdrew the case and Aahir was out. Everyone thanked Mr Suryavanshi specially Lavanya who seemed to keep looking at him with a strange expression. And he as well smiled.
Gosh!!! Chemistry??? Phewwww!!!
They like each other and here I was thinking about Lavanya with Aahir...I'm a idiot!!!

Soon Aahir came out and Aaru aunty hugged him like a baby and cried in his arms. I kept looking at him but his eyes were on his parents. We left to home after I filed an FIR against Ved but my eyes couldn't leave Aahir throughout the journey.

He did all this for me???
I didn't know what to say.

Media kept blabbering rubbish, I wanted to give a clarity about the matter but seems like the news already leaked out and I didn't have to do anything. Overnight Aahir who became a villain was termed a hero infront of young girls and women who felt Ved must have been beaten more where as others argued that Aahir must not have took the law in his hands. Overnight Aahir was a national sensation on news and media but as Kakkars had took back the case everything was legally sorted.

After going home my mother hugged me and cried a lot. She cooed me like a little child and kept looking at my wounds while my father was hell bent to destroy Kakkars. My mother fed me my dinner and I was asked to take rest. But I couldn't sleep. I wanted to talk to Aahir.

But I didn't know how to meet him but then looks like my mother had called everyone home today for dinner post all the drama. I could hear laughter finally from the living room. I wanted to go out but I knew if I do I would screw up many smiling faces, so I chose the stay while door was knocked and I said...

'Come in!!!' and slowly I saw Aahir walking in with the medical kit. I kept looking at him but couldn't say a word. He cleared his throat and said...

'Ahhhhmmmm Neiyat can I redress your wrists if you don't mind?' and I simply nodded.

He sat next to me and folded the hands of his tshirt till his elbows flexing his hands...I don't know why I never noticed. He has really strong hands. He first checked if I had a temperature or not. Once he was satisfied he began cutting the existing bandaid and the moment my wound was undressed he was still for a few seconds.

I saw a strange pain in his eyes.
That pain was for me...
He feels so much for me...
These are just wounds Aahir...I have stomped your heart under my foot.

He slowly cleaned up my wounds and although I didn't hiss in pain, he hissed everytime he cleaned it with the liquid. He applied the cream and blew air against my wounds while I couldn't help but chuckle while he lifted an eyebrow up and stared at me...

'What is so funny huhh' he asked while I smiled and said...

'Aahir I'm fine...I'm not a 5 year old!!!' to which he narrowed his eyebrows and said...

'I know you're not...but these wounds are deep Neiyat and I'm a doctor I know how painful it would be...it's just that we are strong...but then have you heard of a doctor treating their family??? No right... that's exactly why I requested Dr Sushma to do your first aid but she got caught in an emergency so I had to... otherwise this is never recommended Neiyat...it's not advised... it makes us weak...we are also humans...' he said and my eyes shined at what he addressed.

I couldn't take my eyes off him while he dressed my wounds and I asked at once...
'So you consider me family???' And he lifted his head up and looked at me but said nothing.

He stood up and said...
'Take your tablets and go to sleep Neiyat...' and I don't know why I really wanted to hug him tightly. I got up and went to hug him but he stopped me and took a step back. I was perplexed.

'Please rest Neiyat...' he said and was about to leave but I held his hand and he froze.

'I don't want to be sitting here alone in this room like a ghost! I also want to sit and laugh with everyone...I want to be with you!!!' I said and he turned around and looked into my eyes and I saw his eyes twinkling...

I couldn't help but take a step closer to him. I don't know why I did it but his eyes had a strange innocence. Innocence I wanted to read. Innocence I want to see...Purity I could feel. I softly moved my hand on his cheek and caressed it softly while he closed his eyes.

He is a baby. I couldn't help but I kept looking at him like I was mesmerized until he suddenly opened his eyes and took a step back. Our moment was broken.

He was flushed. I was shocked.
What the hell was I doing.

'Ahmmmmm happens... happens...it's ok...happens...we....we are friends... friends make sure we are good...right...rright Neiyat???' he said and I smiled saying... 'Rrrighhht!!!' and I left my breath that was stuck in my throat.

We both slowly walked out of the room while I saw the entire family was jumping around and looking too excited.
And that's when I saw a young girl with shoulder length hair whose back was facing us hugging my Daadu and Mypie.

I wonder who she was.
I saw she stood there with a luggage, then I noticed my Daadi and Sonapie kissing her forehead.

She was as tall as me...Ummm maybe a little more taller. Wait maybe she wore heels???

Who is she???

She was wearing white pants, white blazers and everyone was either hugging her or showing her all their 32 teeth and then I heard Aaru aunty say
..

'Look there he is... Aahir look who's here'

She knows Aahir???

And then I see her turning around and I was shocked.

Freak!!! She's back!!!
I.....I don't like her!!!
Miss Perfectionist!!! Huhhhh...
Whatever...

But what happened next left me stunned...
I saw Aahir leaving my hand and running towards her and she as well ran to him and before I could understand she threw her arms across Aahir's neck and Aahir twirled her around...

'Chichiiiiiii what a surprise' he screamed

Chichiiii??? WTF is a Chichi...

'It was a surprise for you Ririiiiiii' she smiled and hugged him tightly and I felt a strange fire inside my stomach.

I never liked her!!!
I hated her always!!!
I could call her my childhood enemy!!!
Miss so called 'Good girl!!!'

But what bothered me was how come she knew Aahir???
And Ri Ririiiiiii?? What the F is a Ririiii???

Miss Saanchi Muskaan Aarav Prabhu was never my favorite!!!

Last she visited us was 7 years ago!!!
And all these years I was a happy soul that she didn't visit us!!!

But looks like she doesn't like to let me be in peace!!!
I love Musky Bua (aunty), I love Aarav Phupha (uncle) but Miss Perfectionist

I HATE HER!!!!
Why is she back!!! Ughhhh!!!
