Arjun's Pov

She wears that pendant now too, Shiva said.

I becomes silent. How can i forget that day... That day is not only important to Shiva but for me too.. That's the first day i started to understand my feelings... Now there's no use to look back at my past. But it's important for Shiva. Now I'm truly happy and I truly believe they are meant to each other. These all days I really felt guilt to hide things from him. But I don't know how he will react to be open I was scared to tell the truth.

Shiva I want to tell you something. For god sake please let me complete, I said

He looked at me puzzled

Navya is doing this all for you. She never cheated on you. But she takes that blame on her. I don't know who's behind all that. But one thing she did that for you, I said

He looked at me very calmly. I don't know what he's thinking

When you know that? That's all he asked

Few day before in our office, I said looking down

How? He asked. I don't know if I say that Or not

Through Karthik, I said

Karthik?? Did he know too? He asked. I nodded

From when? He asked.

From the start, I said

What?? He asked but in calm manner

From the very start he knows everything, I said.

He looked at me completely hurt and betrayed. This face killing me

I described everything that I heard about Karthik and Navya's conversation. He was silent. That silent scared me

He takes his mobile. I know what he's going to do.

It's waste Shiva. Karthik never said that truth. I asked him n times.. If you ask him then it may destroy our relationship, I said

He smiled lightly.

Relationship? What relationship? You guys are just betrayed me.. To be frank I believe 3 person in this world the most dad,you and Navi. Even not my mom because she emotionally blackmailed me sometimes. My dad stopped to talk to me even looked at me.  you two betrayed me for what? He again asked very calm voice but I can clearly felt his hurt

Karthik and Navi don't want to see you broken. I don't want to dig the past which can hurt you, I said

What hurt? Do you see me happy now? He mocked.

Shiva I..., before I said he cut me off

Don't say anything. You're not loyal to me. I hate you guys and I hate myself to believe you, he said

Loyal this word triggers me

Just stop your nonsense. What do you think? Just because you're hurt that doesn't mean you can talk anything you want.. Just hear me yes! you're weak and coward. You never stands for yourself in past and now too. You believe Navi in that day too but you never try to discover the truth.. Now too you have chance to make your life but what you're doing you're just blame others for hiding the things from you. Yes we're selfish that's why we are doing this for you. And before pointing a finger to me what you're doing in past in my matter do you forget? Then I remembered you. 10 years back when I was in accident don't you went to see the lady who give birth to me? I yelled. He was confused, pain and surprised face. But remains silent. I continued

Why are you silent? Do you think I don't know anything? I know everything Shiva. That Lady don't want to see my face because it's remember her past which she can't digest. And she don't want anymore burden right? I said

Both our eyes have tears. But we were silent.. Yes my birth mother said those words to him.

Why are you hide this from me? Why? I yelled again

Because you don't want to see me broken than I'm in already. Then they did the same thing too. Why are being upset? Just open your eyes and see the chance you have now. You're waiting for that chance all this time. So don't run away from this. I want my old friend who's strong to face anything and motivate others to fight for themselves.. If you're going to be coward then just get lost, I said

But one more thing, I strongly believe in truth. Truth is the most powerful thing in this world. No one can hide it for long. If you're ready to take this chance then come to office at 9... Otherwise get lost, I said and left the house.

But deep inside I prayed all God to give him some knowledge.

Next morning

Time is already 9.30 but he didn't come. What the hell? Did he leave somewhere? Did I overreact ?? How can I find him now? Before he leave I have to smack his head, I thought and take my car key. That's when he entered. From his look I'm damn sure his answer is positive. That's how he look dashing and more importantly smiling. His true smile after 5 years I saw that

What are you looking? I'm damn late because of traffic, he said and sat on the table.

I don't think it's because of traffic, I said and he keenly looking at me

It's because of your grooming, I said controlling my laugh

Well! it's not false too, he said scratching his neck.

So what we do now? He asked

What? I asked

Yesterday you talked much lengthy dialogue don't you prepare any plans? He asked.

I shaked my head as no.

You idiot! You talk that heroic dialogue for fun? He asked angrily.

I laughed and it's hurt my stomach..

That's when we here Navya's voice. She entered and looked at me. And then Shiva. She was struck of course she's that's how this Devadoss change... He smirked at her

Ms. Navya From now on you're going to work under Shiva, I said

She looked at us confusingly.

Sir but..., before she said I cut him off

No buts Navya. It's final you're going back to work as his personal assistant, I said.

She hesitantly nodded her head

Now go and get ready, I said and she left

Hey! This is your plan, Well it's not bad. And Did you see Navi's face? She's shocked to see me like this. I think my effort for grooming it's not waste, he said like guinness record

Stop acting like teenage kid Shiva, I said

Mood killer! Now tell the plan, he said

We have to discover two things Shiva
One is who's this Krish and why they're acting? And second one is who's is the person behind all this mess for past five years?,I said

He seriously nodded his head.

Second one is tough. So  let's go with first. We have a great detective on our side so let's believe him, I said

Who? He asked

Of course I'm, I said

Don't kidding, He said

Hey! I'm serious. I decided to dig this, he said

Why? He asked.

We can't believe anyone in this situation and I'm good in this remember our business rivalry man! I said

I don't have any other options so go with you, he said

Are you mocking me? You can go with your way idiots, I said with fake anger

Yeah don't overreact! He said

Then ask sorry, I said

In your dreams man. Find quickly your detective things, he said

You too try to get this truth from Navi. Try to get into her heart, I said.

Don't worry about that and it's not tough too because I'm already in her heart too. I just have to make her said in her voice, he said

You're damn confident man, I said

Otherwise my idiotic friend will kill me, he said.

Good for you, I said

Any other information? He asked

From all this I conclude two things, I said

What? He asked interestingly

Number one the person behind all this will be the most important one for you and you're blindly believe him/ her. That's why Navi and Karthik never tell the truth, I said

I have no idea who's that,he said confusingly

Let's find, I said

What is the second one? He asked

Navi love you more than you did. Just for that love she bear all those words live this pathetic life, I said

He sighed. From now on my only goal is to make her happy and..., he said and looked at me.

And make her mine, he stretched these words with more determination.

I smiled. I'm taking leave for some days Shiva and take care of everything, I said.

He smiled and nodded

All the best, he said smilingly

For this detective job! I said jokingly

For Piya, he said strongly and I was shocked

Don't try to act. I know your feelings very well. Don't regret back like I do now. It's my words remember that my friend, he said.

I just looked at him without uttering anywords. To be truth I don't have any answer to say. I don't know  what my feelings for her.

Now I go to take my chance and I hope you too do that, he said and left

Completely make me confused
