Sid's point of view

"How many hearings it will required. We have all solid proofs against her then why it took too long it's been one year now and how dare she bring my dad's name into this." I bang my hand angrily on table. It's been two week i came to New york for my case which is very important to me.

"Sid relax you know how law works." Nick said looking at my angry face. I, Nick and my lawyer James are in my cabin discussing about my case. James is one of my and Nick's childhood friend. He lives in London. When he came to know about my arresting two years ago he took a next flight and helped me in my previous case and also helped me in my current case now.

"How would i keep relax. It's been fucking one year of this case. The one who ruined my life is still roaming around free. And now she bring my family into this I won't spare her. I want her behind the bar." I barked on him.

"Sid you are one of the strongest personality in the world. We present all our proofs against her but due to your previous case, jury is not satisfied. They think that you bought whole proofs against her. We want more solid proofs." James, my lawyer said.

"But coat gave him a green chit. He proved innocent." Nick said looking at james.

"I know but we need solid proofs like video or something to prove his side." James said.

I took my phone and dial the number.

"How much.." I said curtly.

"10 million dollar in cash." The person said in other line.

"Done..but I want the video in my phone right now with its original copy." I said.

"Okey..as money will transfer to my account I will send you the video with its original copy." The person said.

"Done.." I said and cut the call.

After that I called the account section.

"Sid what are you doing. With whom you are talking." Nick asked me looking at me.

"It's time to show her that two can play the game. This time she did a big mistake to drag my family in this. I was quit before but not anymore. She messed with a wrong person." I said while sending the account details to my account section.

"I' send you the account details transfer 10 million dollar in it." I said.

After some time my phone ring with a ping of message.

"It's time to play dirty." I said with a smirk on my face.

"Is this enough to put her behind the bar." I bring the phone in front of james and Nick. They both are looking at it with open mouth.

"Holy shit..." James said looking at the video.

"Why don't you bring this video before. You could prove innocent in your previous case without any effort." Nick asked me.

"I don't know about the video then. When i loosed my all hopes to win the case and waiting for my punishment One day her boyfriend came to me show me the video." I said.

"You mean he double crossed her?" Nick asked me.

"Yup..he placed the camera with recorders in a hotel room where she took me. She wanted to use him against me and she did but he play smart and double crossed her. " i said.

"Then what happened ?" James asked me curiously.

"He asked me money for exchange of video but i said No." I said.

"Why? My work would be easy if you give me this video before when she accused you a crime which you never did. It would be easy to prove you innocent in your previous case. I shouldn't have work my ass off to save you." James said frustratingly.

"Do you look at the video. Sid never want to insult any girl in front of everyone if she is his enemy. That kind of crazy man he is!" Nick said looking at me.

"Then what makes you to change your mind now." James asked me.

"When water went over the head that means that your pot is overflowing with your sin. It's time to break it and she did the mistake to drag dad in this case. She needs to be punished. How dare she tell that my dad forced her to do the things against me. I know my dad. He will die for us but let not reach any problem to us." I said while clenching my jaw.

"Before i was busy to get me out in a mess but now my only focused is to give her slow death. If coat leave her then i will be the judge and she will be punished in my coat. I will ruined her fucking life that she will beg me to kill her." I said calmly dangerous tone.

"Sid you know if this video came out it will put your image on stack. Are yòu sure about this?" Nick said looking at me.

"We will do a press conference to clear my side and as I proved my innocence in my previous case no one gonna believe that bitch. Everyone knows Siddharth Kapoor will never do such things." I said.

"Okey. We have a solid proof now. I'll collect its original copy and give to the forensic lab that its not fake." James said while collecting his file.

"How much time it will take to finish the case?" I asked him.

"Hardly one week. Why are you asking?" James said looking at me confusingly.

"Someone is waiting for me in India." I said while looking at Preeti's photo on my laptop.
......................................................................

I landed to Delhi yesterday and Now stucking in a traffic near Ghaziabad. Coat case went smooth. After watching the video, jury give the decision in my favor and put her behind the bar for her whole life. I put my all efforts to give her maximum punishment.

As per court orders video didn't leak and coat submit its all copies because it will hurt my reputation and can do damages to Kapoor groups. No one know what happened in a cort room not even media because only few selected people is there due to the sensitivity of the case.

Media only knew that jury gave its decision in my favour. Media only knew the few things about the case. Conference with media went smooth. All their questions are related to case and her which I gave the answers smoothly.

I turn my head to the passenger sit, keerti is sleeping and snoring lightly. When my family came to know that i will going to saharanpur to meet Preeti's family. They insisted me to come with me India and wanted to meet with Preeti's family. Maa and Dad are on a another car. Dad don't like my sports car so he decided to come with another car. I am going to saharanpur to try my luck again. Their one decision will decide my future with my love.

I still remember when i first met Preeti's family after two years. They are not happy to see me.

Flashback

No one knows where am i right now, not even Preeti. I am in Saharanpur for two days and collecting courage to face Preeti's family. I know they will be hell angry on me and why don't they, i broke a heart of their daughter.

I was standing in front of their gate and hell nervous now. I am having a second thoughts now whether to ring the bell or not. After lot of courage I ring the bell.

After few minutes Isha aunty opened the door. She is looking at me shockingly. I touched her feet for blessing. She put her hand on my head and blessed me After that she invited me in.

Nothing changed in two years. It looks same as i saw last time. The whole house looked so empty without her anklet sound and i really missed her to see here.

After some time Ramesh uncle also come and I touched his feet. He blessed me and we all three sit in a leaving room.

"Why are you here?" Ramesh uncle asked me curtly.

"I am here to ask your forgiveness." I said with a hope.

"There is nothing which we gave to you and also our standard is not match to the rich people like you." Ramesh uncle said cury.

"What are you talking Ramesh. Talk properly to him." Isha aunty said while putting her hand on her husband's hand.

"How could you say that Isha. This man broke our daughter's heart. She leaved far from us just because of him." Ramesh uncle said while looking at me angrily. I expected this.

"Please uncle give me a chance to explain things." I said calmly.

"Isha tell him to go from my house before I will do anything." Saying this Ramesh uncle got up from the sofa and leave from there.

After that day i try to talk to him but he is not ready to talk to me. All the time day or night i stood in front of their house with a hope they will forgive me and give me one more chance.

It's a third day that i was standing in front of their house near my car without food and water. I didn't move on my place, not even a inch. Every time isha aunty came to balcony, she looked at me with pity. She wanted to help me but Ramesh uncle didn't let her.

At night rain started pouring. It's already past midnight and rain is still pouring. I am whole drenched in water and my body is shivering slightly due to wet clothes.

After feel like eternity front door of house opened and Ramesh uncle came outside with umbrella in his hand.

"You mad boy. Are you planning to kill yourself?" Ramesh uncle said looking at me.

"I will not budge from here until you forgive me." I said.

"What will I do with this stubborn boy. Come let's go inside, otherwise you will catch fever." He said while Putting his hand on my shoulder and walked with me to inside the house.

Ramesh uncle make me sit on the chair and set inf ront of me. Isha aunty came with a towel and started rubbing my head.

I stood up from my seat and make Isha aunty to sit beside Ramesh uncle. I set down in front of them and took both their hands in mine.

"I know what mistake I did is not forgivable and I don't deserve your daughter's love but I can't live without her. Please forgive me " I said while joining my both hands in front of them. My vision getting blurry due to tears.

"Son, i know you love my daughter so much and i can't find a better groom for her than you. No one can stand whole day and night inf ront of our house without eating anything just to ask a forgiveness. No one can love my daughter like you do. We already forgive you but we are no one to forgive you. This right is only have Preeti. You are her culpit not ours. If she will forgive you, the day also we forgive you with whole heartedly." Ramesh uncle said and leave from there.

Flashback end.

Peep...peep.

Peep...peep

I came out from my thoughts with the sound of horn. A car is honking behind my car. Traffic got clear now and my car is blocking the path. I pulled the accelerator of the car and clear the path.

We reached saharanpur at noon. Today is the first exam of my love life if I will clear this i will come one step closer to Preeti. Today i decided to tell everything to Preeti's family why i broke the engagement with Preeti. Dad and mom wanted to be with me at this time so they come with me in India.

Isha aunty hug mom and they both sheds some tears. Ramesh uncle hand shaked with dad. I can say that Ramesh uncle is still angry. Shivani di hugged keerti lovingly like a elder sister.

Whole Agarwal family is present here. Preeti's cousins, jijus, uncles and aunts, everyone present here. I saw new member is added to the family. A girl is standing beside Aditya with all the symbols of married women and Aditya is holding her like his life is depends on her. They all welcomed us in the house.

We all are settled in a living room and Shivani di and shikha bhabhi served us snacks and tea. Whole house is filled with family member but it still looked empty to me without her. Everyone is present here but my eyes wanted see her only. I missed her so much. I wanted to hear her anklet's sound and wanted to play with her bangles.

"Ramesh ji i know we are late to asked for a forgiveness but i am here to ask my son's happiness." Dad broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Akhil ji i already told to Siddharth that we are no one to forgive. This right is only has Preeti because she was the one whose heart break." Ramesh uncle said.

"You have every right to get angry on us but the situation we faced two years ago i can't make Preeti, daughter in law of our house even if i wanted to and Sid is the only one who faced worst among all of us." Dad said.

"Siddharth beta tell us what happened two years ago." Isha aunty encouraged me to say everything.

I looked at dad and he gave me assurances through his eyes to tell them whole truth.

I felt anger boiled inside me with a mixture of fear when i remind the most horrible days of my life. Keerti put her hand on mine to give me a support. I took a deep breath and sigh.

I started speaking whole incident which took place two years ago and turn my whole life in up and down. Mom broke down in tears in between and Isha aunty give her support. Keerti has also tears in her eyes and she is crying on Shivani di's shoulder. I was blankly looking somewhere and speaking the whole truth. At one point my voice got heavy but i control my tears and drink the water to control my emotions.

It took one hour to narrate the whole story. A lone tear fell from my right eye to remember whole thing. I wiped my tear immediately before anyone can noticed. I looked everyone and every single person have tears in their eyes.

"Son i never thought you were passing through a such mental trauma. But you handle everything well. Akhil ji must be proud on you." Ramesh uncle said to me in a fatherly manner.

"Ramesh ji now you know everything. I wanted fix our mistakes. If you forgive us please give your daughter's hand to my son. He love her so much. His life will become miserable without her." Dad said while joining his both hands in front of Ramesh uncle.

"Akhil ji please don't embarrassed us by saying this. I will be very happy if my daughter becomes your son's dulhan (bride)." Ramesh uncle said while taking dad's hand in his hands.

"Did you meet Preeti?" Akhil jiju said.

I nodded my head and said, "I met her in Delhi."

"What was her reaction to see you after so long." Rohan bhiya asked me.

"She broke into tears and still angry on me." I said.

"Does she know everything?" Anshul asked me.

"Not yet." I shake my head as no.

"She is broken and not ready to forgive me." I said.

"I will talk to her and convinced her to marry you." Isha aunty said while holding mom by her shoulder.

"No, please don't tell her anything. I will tell her by myself when right time will come. I don't want to win her heart out of any pity." I said.

"But beta, if you tell her everything. She will understand and forgive you." Preeti's elder uncle said.

"No, tau ji, first I want to win her love again and I am sure she will forgive me because she still loves me." I said looking at him.

Everyone nodded there head in agreement.

"Can I go to her room?" I looked at isha aunty with hope.

"Yes.." she nodded her head with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

I didn't say anything and walk upstairs towards her room.
......................................................................

I opened the door of her room. Nothing is changed. Everything is its own placed when i last saw. This room still have her fainted fragrance. I look at her room's balcony, where we spend the first night together by sitting in each other's arm. I walked to the balcony and stood their leaning to the railing and remember our precious moments together in here.

Her anklets tinkling, her blush, her smile, I'm missing everything of her. This balcony hold mang memory of us, this whole house has many memory of our precious moments together. First time I confessed my love to her at this balcony, First time I kissed her right here under the moon. How much beautiful she was looking that night and the way her eyes hold love for me, I am ready to give my life just to saw love in her eyes. She is my everything.

I lost the time track. It's started getting dark. I don't know how long i was stood there and missing her. I was not aware about my surroundings until i hear a knock on door. I turn my head towards gate and Anshul came into the room.

Anshul suddenly took me in a hug.

"I always know you are a some kind of hero." He said still hugging me.

"Aren't you mad at me?" I asked him while breaking the hug.

"I was but not now after know the whole truth. You are really brave to face everything alone. I told you, you are a superhero." He said with a smile. I chuckled softly at his comment.

"Let's go to terrace. Everyone is waiting for you there." He said while dragging me to the terrace.

When we reached the terrace i saw Rohan bhiya, Aditya, Pulkit and Akhil jiju are ready for boozing. They create their small bar on terrace with some whisky and tequila bottles.

"Come Sid take this. It will help you to loose your stress." Rohan bhiya said while handing me the glass of whiskey.

I took the glass from Rohan bhiya and gulp it whole in one go.

"Wwoww..easy Sid." Pulkit jiju said.

I didn't say anything and made one more drink for me.

"Bhiya one for me also." Anshul said to rohan bhiya.

"This is not for kids." Aditya said while sipping his drink.

"I am 21, not a child anymore." Anshul said annoyingly while making himself a drink.

"Where is your bournvita?" Akhil jiju said while drinking his whisky.

"Who told you about this?" Anshul asked with frown.

"Everyone knows. You drink many times even in front of me." Akhil jiju said. I drink my second drink and Aditya made another one for me.

Everyone broke into a laugh at Akhil jiju's comment.

"Did chachu, chachi knows." Pulkit jiju asked Anshul.

"Don't tell them. Papa will disown me and don't ask about mummy she will beat me with her slippers if she comes to know about that." Anshul said.

"You deserves that. Hey what about your girlfriend?" Aditya asked.

"Which one." Anshul asked.

"The one who is from jaipur." Aditya said while rolling her eyes.

"Oo..that. i broke up with her last month. She started annoying me." Anshul said while shrugging his shoulder.

Everyone keep pulling each other's legs but i was distracted by her thoughts. She is keep running in my mind. I don't know what is she doing right now. Did she miss me or not. I wanted to be with her this time. I don't know when next morning come and i will start my journey towards her.

"Sid, don't stress yourself. You win the main battle of your life and i am sure you will also win her heart." Akhil jiju encouraged me.

"I don't know she will forgive me or not." I said while looking at my glass.

"She will. I know." Akhil jiju said.

"Guys lets have a toast for Preeti and Siddharth." Akhil jiju said while raising his glass in air.

"For Preeti and Siddharth." Rohan bhiya said. We all cheers together and gulp our drink in one go.

We all made another drink for ourselves.

"Congratulations for your marriage." I wished Aditya while shaking his hand but to my surprise he took me in a hug.

"Thankyou and welcome to the family again." Aditya said while breaking the hug.

"What happened with you that was horrible? How could a person do that to another person? You really a strong man, Sid." Pulkit jiju said.

"Preeti will forgive you. I know my sister. After the engagement broke she was miserable and missing you whole day while sitting on her balcony. I never saw her like this and behave like that for anyone. Maybe she is angry on you right now but from her heart she needs you. She needs your protection." Anshul said.

I know i made her life miserable. Whatever the reason i gave can't justify my action towards her. I broke her heart and i will be the one who heal her heart by my love. I can't wait for the morning. I wanted to see her right now. I am going to leave for Delhi right now.

I drink my rest of the drink in one gulp.

"Sorry i have to leave." I said while put the glass on table.

"Where are you going?" Rohan bhiya asked me.

"Delhi, to meet Preeti." I said while walking.

I heard many footsteps followed me behind.

"Sid it's already late, go tomorrow." Akhil jiju said.

"I can't wait till morning." I said while climbing down from the stairs.

Everyone came out from the house hearing voice.

"Where are you going bhayi?" Keerti asked me.

"Delhi.." I said and walked towards my car.

"Beta it's already dark. Go by morning." Isha aunty said while try to make me stop.

"Isha let him go." Ramesh uncle said while looking at me fatherly.

I nodded my head and set on my car. After ignited the engine i pull the accelerator hard and leave from there towards Delhi with full speed.
