****** FLASHBACK STARTS  ******

2 MONTHS AGO....

ZAIN'S POV

"It's been a long time since we met, so let's catch up tomorrow." Aryan, my best friend, had been insisting me to meet him, on the phone.
I didn't want to deny him but because of this work i didn't have the time to meet him. I schedule was so tight.
"Please, you can't meet me! now i understand work is more important than your friendship! thank you so much! i won't call and talk to you from now on. Byeee." he's such a drama king.
"Okay." i murmured.

"No no, just let it go, our friendship is over. Bye." His drama never stopped.

"I said okayyyyy, drama king, I'll be there tomorrow on time." i promised him.

"Aww... how sweet of you, then I'll see you tomorrow buddy." he joked and hung up.

He always talked like this; funny and dramatically.
........

I went there on time and he was already waiting for me, we met at our place; Aryan's farm house.

"Thank you so much sir. You came here for this poor person." he started his gimmick. We hugged each other after 4 years.

I was always thrilled to meet him.
We chatted for hours; sharing our life, ups and downs and so many things.

"When will you get a girlfriend?" Aryan was being himself.
"Not interested in this." i was being me. "You tell me about YOUR girlfriend".

He told me before that he got someone in his life. And he can spend the rest of his life with her. That she's perfect and loves him more than anything. And i was happy for him with all my heart.

"Well you know what, you are lucky that you never been in love. It really hurts a lot." Aryan croaked.

It was my first time seeing him sad, since i remembered i always watched him happy and laughing.

"What happened Aryan?" i asked, feeling all concerned.

"You know, i told you about the girl." he began.
I nodded. "She never loved me, she used me as her personal bank, i thought we meant for each other but now she ----- well, forget her, so when will you get married." he changed the topic quickly.

'And do you really think that i would let you do that; changing the topic.'

I was angry and concerned about him, he was my only friend "stop changing subjects and tell me the whole story". I demanded.

"It's nothing zain and i also don't want to talk about her." he said, forcing a smile.

"Okay, don't tell me if you don't consider me as a friend." here was my time for some melodrama.

"okay Mr. Zainu, i tell you forasmuch you are the only person whom i can and love to share all my secrets." he smiled and continued after a pause. He took a sigh and said "That girl is now threatening me, she has said if i didn't give her 5 Lakhs then she will file a rape case against me". His eyes fell.

I was blowed, pissed of how a girl could have so mean and greedy.

"How could she do that, I don't think that court help her only on her statement. I mean she doesn't have any proof, right?" I asked hesitatingly.

"She has. She has some pictures of us of the night when we were together, i didn't realise that she had hidden a camera in the room and i thought she loves me because i loved her AND WE DID THAT." his eyes were looking at the floor and not wanting to face me.
