"Agastya....."

Hearing his name being called out, agastya raichand turned around to come face to face with the women who abandoned him infront of the whole world

His red eyes a clear indication of how much he had cried and devoured the pain of being let at the alter without any explanation....and it was enough to make riddhima drowned in the deepest depths of guilt

"Why???"

His almost cracking voice managed to choke out making riddhima's head bow down

Taking a deep painful breath, her fingers did quick work on unzipping her purse and taking out the diamond that once adorned her finger

As hot fresh tears now freely soaked his face, agastya's eyes moved back and forth to the ring and its owner, almost dying to know the reason of the sudden changes

"I....."

Licking her lips....clearly ashamed of her deed....she finally managed to choke out

"I CHEATED ON YOU....."

Saying that her fiancé was shocked would be an understatement.....infact it seemed that the entire hell had broken loose upon him which did nothing but increase riddhima's culpability

"I cheated on you with my ex husband.....
Iam....iam soo sorry.....
I never intended on hurting you...yet i did....
I became your tormentor.....
Iam pathetic i know...but i couldn't stop myself
I....i love him soo much....soo much that it hurts....but it heals too
He was infront of me.....confessing his love....his eyes were shining with the love and longing he had for me....the pain he suffered when i left him....and i snapped.....
I couldn't keep a check on my emotions .....
I ended up betraying you....
You are a gem agastya and i hate to say this...but I don't deserve you or your love....
Iam a cheater....a backstabber.....
I know you might be feeling disgusted of me right now....maybe hating me to no extent....and i know I deserve it....
I don't expect you to forgive me...i know I don't deserve it at all......
I will never show you or dadi my face ever again....
Iam sorry...."

Placing the ring on his palm, she took one final glance at him before turning back on her heels and running away from him, crying her heart out.

"RIDDHIMAAAAAAAAAAA"

Falling on his knees with a thud, the poor lad kept screaming his heart out as hot tears blinded his eyes and heart pained like hell

The one whom he loved and trusted with everything he had, betrayed him in such a horrible way.....
How was he even supposed to cope up with that???
HOW????

As he continued wailing his heart out, he remained completely ignorant of the fact that a masked person with a large metal rod was approaching him with thief steps

And before he could even register anything....he was knocked out by a hard blow on the head

.............................................

Wiping the tears that refused to stop...riddhima picked up her phone ,which had been vibrating since the last ten minutes, only to have her eyes blown out of their socket as she saw the video of a heavily bleeding agastya tied to an electric pole

Before she could even register anything, a message popped up on her screen

"There is dress at your doorstep
Wear it and reach the godown within the next 15 minutes or else be ready to receive your best friend's dead body"

Hurrying to the door, riddhima opened it to find a black coloured box lying carefully near the planter

Her panicked eyes darted here and there, trying her level best to catch a glimpse of the one who delivered it here but to no avail

Dejected she picked up the box and rushed inside

A feeling of deep cringe and disgust washed over her as she saw the dress present inside the box

It was a school girl's uniform of extreme sultriness

The skirt soo short that riddhima was sure it would even cover up her ass properly, let alone the white shirt which was completely transparent.

Digging her face in her palm.. the poor girl cried out in despair at the situation she was placed in but after what all she had done with her best friend...the least she could do was save him from the pervert kidnappers....
Maybe this would wash away some of her sins

So without a second thought, riddhima immediately slipped into the piece of cloth in name of a dress and covered her body with a huge shawl to hide the nakedness of it....

As every step that took her closer to the godown...she tried calling her ex husband, hoping against hope to get some help, only to have his phone switched off every single time

As her petite hands managed to open the rusted door with great power, she was immediately attacked from behind by a certain someone to clasped her mouth with an handkerchief soaked in chloroform making her loose her consciousness bit by bit

..............................................

With the sharp pain piercing her head, riddhima blinked her eyes several times to adjust to the surroundings only to find herself standing on top of a large grain sack with her hands tied above her head through a giant rope, whose other end was tied to the roof.

The shawl that had been covering her modesty was now lying on a secluded corner of the locked room as she tried her level best to wiggle out of the strains but in way

"Hope you had a good nap DARLING...."

"Who the hell are you....you moron
Free my hands and i'll show you hell on this freaking earth...bloody bastard...."

"Oh little fiery lioness....calm down....
Such pathetic curses doesn't suit this pretty mouth of yours JAAN...."

"LET ME GOOOOOOI"

"Whats the hurry SWEETHEART...lets have some fun....afterall You wouldn't want me to hurt your best friend right?????
So be a good girl"

As the man slowly came into the light.....riddhima's eyes widened in pure horror

YOU.......
