Shocking

Chapter 49

Sanket's POV

"Yeah actually. I met Zaeden." I sigh.

"What?" She gets shocked furrowing her eyebrows.

"Yeah. He said that he was your first love, first everything and that you'll go running back to him. That's why I was so sad, weird and...drunk." I am disappointed in myself that I trusted Zaeden over Aashna in this. How could I believe that? He wanted this, this fucking fight and we had it. He wants our seperation, but I won't give him that satisfaction.

"Trust issues, again." She presses her lips in a thin line.

"Yeah.." I turn my face to not look at her. I'm so disappointed and angry at myself too now.

"Hey hey" she says turning me back to cup my face.
"We'll work on it together. We are working on it, right?"
"Yeah." I say.

"Let's go home now." She says and I stop her.
"You're sober now!?" I furrow.
"Yeah I washed my face and actually, our serious convo made me quite sober." She chuckles and join her.

I wrap an arm around her sideways to take her towards the car. She gladly sits inside when I open the door for her and I oblige. I go towards the other end of the car to sit on the driving seat.

Me and Aashna are laying on the bed since like half an hour now, but I'm still not asleep but I think she slept. Her face is right infront of me, us both being on the same pillow. I had kept one arm under her neck and the other on her waist. She kept her hand in between us, beside her face and the other one around my torso. She has her eyes closed, making me miss how lovingly those brown eyes peered into my soul.

Dadi and mom were downstairs, eating their dinner. When we arrived, we quickly ate food and rushed to our room to sleep because Aashna's head was paining.

Now I decide to go downstairs for a walk or something, watch tv maybe. I gently and slowly take my arm from beneath her making her shift in her place. I take her hand which was on me to rest on the bed. She then shifts her position to turn and cuddle the pillow now. Her brown hair were all spread across the sheets and he arms were cuddling the white soft pillow. Aww.

After breaking eye contact at Aashna's position on the bed, I go to the washroom to wash my face. After doing so, I take my phone along to go downstairs.

I see dadi and mom discussing about something on the couch as I go towards the dining table to find some fruits.
"Khana ho gaya?" I ask while cutting an apple for myself.

"Haan, ho gaya. Kya hua beta did you not eat dinner?" Mom asks looking at me cutting the apple.
"I did. Actually bhook lagi firse so.." I say.
"Achha achha. Aashna so gayi?" Mom asks.
"Haan, her head was paining."

I go towards the couch to sit beside dadi with my apple. I offer mom and dadi but they refuse.
"Randhir ko naukri se kyu nikala?" Dadi asks me out of the blue. Yes ofcourse she knew, everyone knows about it but I didn't really expect this question. Now I do not know how to tell dadi and mom about the attacks.

"I- he actually....look, dadi mom."
"We know...attacks?" Mom said.
"What? How do you know about that?" I ask in shock.
"Um..shaant reh and we have to tell you something.." dadi continues. What do they have to tell me? I hope nothing bad happened..

"What happened, dadi..mom?" I ask turning to look at them.
"Sanket. Zaeden abducted us at our native place.."

"What!?" I almost shout standing up from my seat as I could experience nothing but stress all over me. What could have happened? What if he had..done anything to them? What would've I done if anything happened to them? I'm such an idiot in life. I was enjoying there living my life and my actual life, my dadi and my mom were in danger. How could I do that?

"I'm so going to kill that..guy!" I control my language infront of dadi and mom.

"I'm so sorry. Oh god oh god I shouldn't be have had ever gone to that place, Maldives. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I can't even imagine what I would've done if- if..." I couldn't complete the sentence. This is too much shock at one go.

"But, but what happened after?" I ask.

"Beta, sit down, and calm down." Mom says understanding my situation completely. I do as she says and she continues to speak.

"At our native place, we were abducted. Randhir got us, and Zaeden abducted him too. He told Randhir to do a certain thing and then Randhir just went away somewhere. We were released by Zaeden as soon as Randhir left. And then, we had a call that he was removed from his job by you."

"Oh my god. Randhir was the one who was involved with Zaeden, dadi mom! Y'all think he's so innocent? He isn't!" I say with a stony heart. My heart was aching to say such things about him but it's the truth.

"No Sanket!" Dadi shouts at me and I flinch.

"Randhir was given the task of attacking Aashna to release us from Zaeden!."

"What!?" Second shock of the day.

"Yes beta. Uske paas choice thi to release us by threatening Aashna or leave us like that, abducted, by not attacking her. That was the deal, Sanket." My mom says to me cupping my face sitting infront of me.

"Oh god..oh god oh god.." I rant.
"What have I done!?"
"Oh god oh god.."
"Mom, I-i removed my best friend, doubted him, fired him from his only job and I-i..."
"Shh it's okay.." dadi and mom both hug me.
"How is it okay? How could I do this to him? How could I not trust him? It's all my mistake!"
"It isn't beta. And you can always correct your mistake late." Dadi advises.
"Exactly. Better late than never."

"Yes, yes I will do that. I will apologise until he forgives me from his heart for doubting on my only loyal assistant and my best friend."

"You should do that..now go go, and stop blaming yourself for it, okay?"
I nod and go to take my phone from the table.

I dial his number to call him and thankfully, without any drama, he picks up my call.
"Hello?"
"Uh-i-i.." I'm out of words that he's finally on call with me, here listening to me apologise to him.
"Boss?" He still calls me boss.

"Randhir." Tears choke my throat.
"C-can we meet?" I ask as I notice dadi and mom intently looking at me.
"Office?" I ask.
"Sure, tomorrow morning?"
"Yes. Thankyou." I say and cut the call.

I cover my face with my hands and I literally experience anxiety. I have to let this out as soon as possible.
