It Can't Be Love|| IshqAan|| One shots

Maybe Someday||OS

"Don't worry Aunty, I have already called the police" He said, his own heart breaking at the very thought of her getting arrested.

"What!? Bhai apne police ko phone kyu kiya? Itni jaldbaazi krne ki kya zarurat hai? Yeh galat hai Bhai!" Kartik protested, he knew Ishqi must have her reasons, she is not the one to enjoy seeing other's destruction.

"Aur zo uss ladki ke kiya voh sahi hai? She deserves it!" Ahaan didn't knew whom he was trying to convince, Kartik or his own heart.

She deserves it! These words rang in his ears, a part of him knew this can't be true but the other part said otherwise.

"Bhai aisa kuch mat karo jo aap baad me regret karo" he warned his brother, he knew Ahaan would soon regret it.

Ishqi ko dard me dekh k aap kitne khush rhoge yeh apko bhi pta hai.

"W-why would I regret?" He stuttered because he himself wasn't sure of what he is saying.

"Ahaan! Police aa gyi!" Rhea informed them. That very instant Ahaan was regretting it.

Maybe Kartik is right, maybe Ishqi isn't guilty but I saw everything! One sec...what have I saw? Ishqi was crying on the floor and Mayank was shouting at her.....technically I haven't saw anything! Oh god! What if Ishqi didn't did anything.....

"Ahaan?" Rhea patted his shoulder, bringing him back to the world.

"Huh?"
"Let's go Ahaan"
"Yeah.." He was confused, he wanted to think about it again but it was too late now, the police is already here.

Ishqi was investigating the waiter when suddenly she saw some police officials approaching her.

"Aap Ishqi hai?" The inspector asked.

"Ji" She answered, completely blank.

"We are here to arrest you Miss Ishqi, someone from this resort called us"

"What rubbish!? Who called you?" Ishqi felt numb.

It shouldn't be him, whoever did this, I don't care but it just shouldn't be him.

"I did!" Ahaan said, trying to gain some confidence.

Ishqi's heart broke for unknown reasons, she suddenly felt alone in this huge world, all of sudden she started questioning herself that whom is she doing all this for? What is she going to gain if he doesn't trust her.

"Aapne?" She tried her best to not look affected, to not show how broken she is.

But someone has rightly said, Eyes are the mirror of one's heart. Her eyes were saying it all and there was someone willing to read them, Ahaan.

"Aisa kuch mat karo jo aap baad me regret karo" Kartik's words rang in his ears as now he can clearly see them coming to life. Her eyes said something which made him regret his decision.

Why is she looking at me like this? What are all those emotions in her eyes? Did I..really took a wrong decision? But Mayank tried to commit suicide! She can't be innocent! But her eye.....

He saw her trying to hold back her tears, trying to put a brave face but failed miserably.

"We have to take you with us!" The inspector said and Ahaan desperately waited for Ishqi to protest, to argue with them in her weird language.

But to his utter disappointment, she just nodded.

What is the point of fighting when he doesn't trust me? He thinks I am a selfish, mean girl. No matter what I say, he won't trust me, what is the point of arguing then?

Ahaan was disappointed, stunned, sad, shocked, whatever you name it.

When she didn't have to, she opened a Naari Morcha and when she should, she is giving up so easily. Can't she understand that this is going to destroy her life! Why is she not fighting back!!?

"Arrest her!" The inspector ordered one of his female constable but before she could do anything, Kartik interrupted.

"Ek second! Aapke paas kya proof hai ki Ishqi ne uncle ko push kiya aur Minky Bhai k suicide attempt ki vajah vo hai?"

Ahaan literally wanted to hug Kartik at that moment, he voiced Ahaan's emotions.

"Aapke paas kya proof hai ki yeh begunah hai?" The inspector asked, irritated. These people have already wasted a lot of his time in their stupid eyelocks.

Before Kartik could answer, the hotel manager interrupted them.

"Excuse me sir, sorry for interrupting but-" he stopped midway after spotting the police. He apologized and was about to leave when Ahaan said-

"No no it's okay, aap boliye kya baat hai?" He wanted to waste as much time as possible
I can't let her leave so easily!

"Sir actually Mayank sir ne abhi tak party ki payment nhi ki hai, hamare system me koi kharabi nhi hai!"

Ahaan was hell confused. What was he doing that day then?

Ishqi had lost all her strength to fight but when she looked into Ahaan's eyes, the eyes that were shouting that they don't want to let her go. She regained her voice, she regained her strength and she regained her will to fight back.

"Manager, kya hame kal raat ki yaha ki footage mil skti hai?" She asked, confidently and strongly.

If what I saw in his eyes is true, I can't leave so easily.

Ahaan suddenly felt overwhelmed by unknown happiness. She has something to say!! His heart danced at the very thought.

The manager ofcourse agreed and they saw what happened last night, how Mayank shamelessly pushed his own father, did some drama and made everyone beleive that Ishqi did that. But the thing that actually made Ahaan's blood boil was how he tried to choke her. That bloody creep tried to choke HIS Ishqi!

"Do you guys still want to arrest me?" Ishqi asked, her each word dripping with confidence.

"Sorry Ma'am, but we would surely like to arrest this guy in this footage!" Inspector said, he was still irritated by the fact how so much of his time got wasted because of these confused people.
God!! They are so confused!! They wasted so much of my time in their emotion-play! How come no one in their families notice that!!?

Mayank was arrest, Suman ji cursed herself for bearing such a son and humiliating Ishqi. One by one, every single person apologized to Ishqi, now it was Ahaan's turn.
But before he could say anything, she started leaving. He rushed behind her.
"Ishqi, Ishqi listen to me! Ishqi!" He caught hold of her hand and pulled her towards himself. His guilt was killing him, he needed to apologise.

"Mr. Malhotra, mera haath chhodiye!" She tried to free herself but he was just too strong.

Mr. Malhotra? Ahaan's heart broke as she addressed him as a stranger.
Now that I think of it, Naam Teen Banda Mean sounded much better.

"Just listen to me Ishqi! I...I am...I am extremely sorry! I beg you, please forgive me!"

She let out a chuckle.
"Maaf krne ke liye naraaz hona pdta hai aur naraaz apno se hote hai, parayo se nhi"

Her every word shattered his heart into million pieces in such a way that they could hardly ever be put together.

She freed her hand and left, now when she knew he can't see her, tears started flowing uncontrollably.
But she was wrong, he can't see them but he can feel her tears.

They both knew it was meant to happen yet it broke them.
Something inside them still wished- 'Maybe, someday.....'
