CHAPTER 25

IN THE PRESENT.

Abhi was breathing heavily, he was unable to control his tears, when he spoke -

"I got the news that Kavya was no more."

"Jhooth......" I, Ayesha Thakur, screamed loudly at him, since I was no longer able to control my senses.

"Kya....?" With his red-wet eyes, he stared at me.

"I mean...I mean...ahh"

"Tumne toh kaha tha, Kavya ko - ki tum usse terrace pe milne waale ho,

Phir tum kahan thee, jab tumhe pata chala - ki Kavya is no more." I hollered at him, nervously.

Abhi did not answer, his head was still hanging down, as big-big drops of tears fell down his cheeks.

"Where were you Abhi?"

"Kahan thee tum?" I shouted.

"Main...ahh...main room mein" he was crying and stammering at the same time.

"Main room mein tha..."he answered.

For the next two minutes, both of us - were frightened and devastated.

Both of us were crying and were unable to control our emotions.

But after two minutes, Abhi got up from his chair, moved towards me and stared at my wet eyes, when he spoke, in a screeching tone -

"Ayesha...just tell me the TRUTH -

Tum Kavya ko kaise jaanti ho?"

This time - I could actually sense ANGER - from his body language and speaking tone.

Abhimanyu Mantri was angry.

"Abhi...listen...I wanted to tell you..." I tried to explain him, but he again shouted angrily -

"Ayesha....just answer my freaking question -

Tum Kavya ko kaise jaanti ho?"

"Abhi...ek second...let me explain..." I tried to control his anger, but he shouted at me again -

"Ayesha...I just want a freaking answer -

TUM KAVYA KO KAISE JAANTI HO?" this time, I broke down crying and yelled -

"Family Friends...." I shouted.

"I and Kavya - we were family friends"

I continued my story -

"Mere aur Kavya ke dad kaafi close friends thee"

"Jiske wajah se - humaari families, ek dusre ko jaanti thi."

"I accept the fact that
- for BBA, both of us, chose different colleges."

"Lekin MBA ke liye - I was selected in IIM INDORE."

"MBA mein bhi, hum dono ke courses alag thee -

Tumhara aur Kavya ka - MBA in Business Management tha,

On the other hand,

Mera tha - MBA in Finance"

Yes, I accept that MBA ki two years mein - you and I - we never met personally.

But I and Kavya used to meet, since I was one year younger to you guys.

Jab tumhara final year, matlab second year tha -
