~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2024...

Author POV

"Then why don't you ask him now." A voice said coldly. The expression on my face hardened and while Alia and Pari gulped.

"Varun Dhawan," Kriti placed a smile on her face and stood up, "we meet again." She spoke with hatred and anger.

"Varun..." Pari stammered. "What did you hear?"

"Everything," He muttered. His eyes displayed anger and hurt. Alia and Pari exchanged looks. They both were worried about what's going to happen next.

Hate and enmity burned in Kriti's heart. She swallowed my anger. She clenched her knuckles and gritted her teeth in an effort to remain silent. Her eyes narrowed as Varun took a seat next to his wife.

"Kriti," Varun said with disgust.

Alia and Pari were confused. Kriti and Varun shared a strong bond ever since they shoot Dilwale.

"Why did you hide about Shraddha to your friends here?" Kriti snapped.

"I am upset Varun," Pari said quietly, "why didn't you tell me about Shraddha? You knew she loved you."

"It wasn't important," Varun muttered.

"WASN'T IMPORTANT," Kriti shouted. Every word fueled the Kriti's anger which was burning inside her. "WAS SHRADDHA EVER IMPORTANT TO YOU? YOU JUST TOOK HER FRIENDSHIP FOR GRANTED! YOU NEVER REALISED HOW MUCH SHE SUFFERED!"

"Kriti, please don't shout," Alia begged. "The kids shouldn't hear this please."

"Shraddha betrayed my trust Kriti and you are her friend. You obviously made me in the villian in this story," Varun hissed.

"You know what, arguing with you is pointless because you are too stubborn to listen to anyone," Kriti shot back. "It wouldn't be a surprise if you haven't told your wife and Alia why you don't talk to me."

"What! Varun, I..." Pari's voice trails slowly. "You and Kriti fought."

"Why did you do this Varun?" Alia said sadly, "why be so secretive?"

Varun sat there silently. "It's true."

"Are you going to tell them now?" Kriti raised her eyebrows.

Flashback Three Years Ago

Kriti POV

I stormed up to Dil Toh Dil Hai (the movie Varun and I are shooting together) set. I pushed open Varun's room.

"Ever heard of knocking," Varun groaned.

"BLOODY BASTARD," I shouted angrily.

"Why are you screaming?" Varun rolled his eyes. And that was the breaking point of my patience. I reached out and punched him on the face. Shraddha always hid her pain on the inside until it ruined her but I held it long as I can until I had to let it go. His face was red and marked by my punch.

"What did I ever do to you?" Varun hissed.

"You did everything," I shot back, "you hurt my best friend, my sister. She loved you but you fell into that bitch, Natasha's trap. OPEN YOUR EYES YOU DUMB ASS. THINK ABOUT IT."

"YOU ARE BEING DUMBER," Varun yelled. "YOU WOULD DESTROY A STRONG FRIENDSHIP BECAUSE OF HER."

"You are blind Varun," I laughed harshly. "She's gone okay and I mean it. She disappeared and left all of us. It was too much for her. She lost her family, Varun. How does that feel? Can you imagine life like that?"

Varun sat down. He was cold and stayed silent.

"Okay I got my answer," I snapped, "you are a jerk and I am ashamed to call you my friend."

Flashback ends

Kriti POV

"I can't believe this," Alia said in disbelief. "You knew Shraddha was missing. All this time, we kept asking you but you always diverted the topic and kept running away from it. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?"

"Natasha would have never betrayed me," fumed Varun.

"Surprise, surprise, she did," I spat in disgust.

"Just shut up," Varun snapped. He spoke with a coldness I never heard him speak before. Hate for him spread through all my systems and feelings. The anger boiled in my blood and I knew this was too much for me to handle.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I yelled, "I have tried to be patient as much as I can. But you, you make me revolt. Shraddha cared about you. She loved you, loved you enough to let you go. She saw you date other girls, and on the inside, she was falling apart but she stayed strong for you. Her biggest fear was losing you and that happened. She lost her family and you."

"Kriti please stop," Pari begged as tears trailed across her face.

"I'm sorry but I can't," I said helplessly as tears rolled down my cheeks. "I stayed silent three years and it hurts like hell. Everything I held inside me was so heavy and I just can't hold it back anymore. Shraddha fell apart because of you. And ever since that day where you left her alone at the mountain when you were little kids, she never stopped smiling. Why, because she is the girl who's hurt mentally and emotionally and yet everyday she walks with a smile on her face. Yes, she smiling but have you ever looked into those eyes. She's already broken and you hurt her once more, and you tore her apart"

Alia POV

I gave held Pari's hand and gave it a squeeze. I knew how Kriti felt. She adored Shraddha like a sister and the thought of losing her was killing her. I am feeling the fear of losing Pari.

'A best friend is a sister that destiny forgot to give you.'

Varun sighed.

"CAN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?" Kriti let out a small cry. "YOU ARE BEING SELFISH. SHE GAVE UP HER HAPPINESS FOR YOURS. IF IT WEREN'T FOR SHRADDHA, PARI WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN YOURS. ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT?"

I watched Kriti. She was hurt and Varun was acting like a jerk. What happened between Varun and Shraddha is something I would have never thought would ever occur. Kriti spoke with pain. Her emotional pain seeps out in her words and it hurts to hear them.

"VARUN," Pari shouted immediately, "stop being so selfish, speak please."

Author POV

Varun stiffened himself and cleared his throat. Varun knew he had done something awful. The guilt was pestering him. A fire burnt inside him and remorse hit him hard. He had done something which he could never make amends to.

"I admit it," he spoke finally, "I have done something wrong."

Alia and Pari seemed relieved that he finally realised his mistake but Kriti remained annoyed. The words flowing out of his mouth angered her and caused the rage to boil in her body.

"Something wrong," Kriti mocked him, "can you just admit your mistake!"

"You wanted me to say something right," Varun burst into anger, "I know I did something wrong. You are a bitch Kriti, you don't know what happened and always jump to conclusions. This is why you and I fought. And didn't you come in between Sushant and Ankita Lokhande and that's why they broke up because you were in love with him and were selfish..."

'I am done with his crap,' Kriti thought as her hand cracked across his face. The smack left a red welt behind. Kriti had turned pale and she stared at him, open-mouthed. She turned to Alia and Pari.

"Sorry for wasting for time," Kriti mumbled as she stepped out of the house.

"Kriti," Alia rushed after her before shoting a dirty look at Varun.

Pari stared at her husband with disgust. She raised her hand back and threw her hand forward, whipping it across his face. He felt the bood drain from his face and he turned still.

Ended with an cliffhanger😉😉😉

Your views on the chapter😆😆😆

I finally updated and I am so sorry for not updating earlier. I am going really busy with year 10 and it was making it harder to update my books. But the good thing is my term holidays will come in two to three weeks and I will update more frequently.

So did you guys think Varun deserved those two slaps? He heard everything Kriti told Pari and Alia.

He knew about Shraddha being missing and didn't say anything, did he do the wrong thing?

Don't you agree he was being a jerk and was rude to Kriti?

Did you see Varun's holi insta update? He and Shraddha were so cute❤❤❤ it made up my day

These two songs of Kalank are amazing and so addicting. I can't wait for Kalank and Zafar and Roop are really giving me major goals.
