Strangers 3 [Winner Of sartik awards]

Chapter 8: No more fear

Aryan's POV

"I was never mad at you I shouted at you because I felt okay speaking my heart out without any filters in front of you obviously I understand that you were just worried about Aryan but I was just upset by the fact that you broke his heart for no reason" Samira said.

"I know I screwed up there" Rashmi said.

"I know it wasn't completely your fault Aryan told me what my brother did to you and I am so sorry all this happened but you should have trusted him he would never hurt anyone"

"I wanted to trust him Samira but I barely knew him so how could I?"

"That is a valid reason you guys didn't even met before you got married.........I am sure you guys could have made it work if you had some time to get to know each other better it's not your fault"

"And what happened to us isn't your fault you were in an abusive relationship and you had to get out and I definitely can't blame you for what your brother did"

"How did our lives get here? How could it be so messed up? Whose fault is it?"

"Perhaps of our parents who was like here is a stranger get married to them and fall in love" I said and the girls laughed.

"Rashmi I just want you to know that I would never hurt you, you are my best friend" Samira said.

"What the hell I thought I was your best friend" I said.

"Relax Aryan you are still dating her" Rashmi said.

"Easy for you to say you didn't have to drive around town at 2Am to get the perfect pani puri"

I said and Samira laughed.

"Come here let me give you a hug" Samira said.

"No I am mad at you" I said.

Samira looked at Rashmi confused.

"Don't look at me he is your problem now" Rashmi said.

Shiv's POV

It was just another afternoon I was sitting and reading Zoe's or should I say Samira's book in peace with a cup of coffee besides me. But as usual someone had to disturb my peaceful evening.

"No Samira I am not talking to you I am mad at you" Aryan said as he walked into the room visibly angry.

"First Rashmi was mad at me now you are mad at me is this going to be my whole life just handling people who are mad at me?"

"Guys guess what I am gonna make my special brownies" Rashmi came in and announced with pride only to get dirty looks from the already pissed off couple.

"Never mind" Rashmi said as she went into the kitchen and started working. I who had lost interest in reading took a rubber ball that was kept on the table and started playing with it.

"You know what I don't wanna talk to you" Aryan said as he went inside his room and closed the door.

"Come on Aryan don't be like that"

Samira said. She snatched the ball from my hand and threw it at the door "Awwww I hit my leg" She screamed as she pretended to be hurt.

"Wait what are you okay" Aryan said as he rushed outside looking worried. Samira just gave him a teasing smile.

"I am gonna kill you" Aryan said as Samira ran away from him he ran behind her around the house.

Okay guys stop now Rashmi said as she walked to the center of the room along with the bowl of flour she was working with. Samira ran and hid behind Rashmi Aryan chased her around and both of them started running around Rashmi "Stop it you guys please" Rashmi said.
