Damsel in Distress -an Indian Story

Weightage of Truth . Part 2

Karthik's pov

She was taking steps towards me. Yes. This is the end of all my hardwork.  I ruined my image in front of her. Now she will think me as a creepy psycho. I cursed my fate. It's okay. I'm ready to take her wrath. But I will never let her go away.

I could hear heart beat as he was standing so close to me. I closed my eyes unable to face that look of hers.

Thaaaaap

Did she just slapped me? My eyes were closed. I heard the sound, but I didn't feel her touch.

When I opened my eyes I found  Nithya and Avinash looking at something wide eyed. I followed their vision to see Shwetha( bride of Avinav) standing face to face with a guy.

The guy was touching his cheek with his hand and she looked so much angry. "How could you do this to me?" She roared grabbing his collar.
They were standing ten feets away from us.  We rushed towards them , but Jiju stopped me to listen their
conversation.

" How dare you to blackmail me like this? I won't give you a single rupee. Now get lost." She said but that guy grabbed her hand.

" Listen Swetha, either you have to come with me, or you have to give me one crore. Otherwise I will send our pics to your fiancee". He tightened his grip on her.

" How cheap you are? How could you do this?" She snapped at him.

" Ohh... Now if I'm cheap, then what you are? You left me, who was your lover for six years for that millionaire."
He said and she bowed her head low.

" Now tell me, what's your decision. Should I send those pics?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

" Nooo. I will give you the money" she mumbled.

" Good. Till then I will have this." He said removing her diamond engagement ring from her finger.

"Aarav...  Nooo.. please give it back" she pleaded but he went away whistling some tune.

She looked around to make sure no one had seen her. We hid behind a pillar. Since it was the back side of the hall, no one was there except us. She went to the hall. Avinash followed her. It was a shock for all of us. Never in our dreams we thought Shwetha is like this.

We all believed that she is an amazing girl who tamed a Casanova. Now I am sure that this marriage won't happen. Nithya was watching all these wide-eyed and mouth open . I used this opportunity to escape from there .

I went back to the engagement hall. From the smiling face if my family members I realized that Avi haven't broke the news yet .  His mother is a heart patient. So he can't break such news infront of her. Also he can't let his brother marry a gold digger like her .

My thoughts again went back to Nithya. Did she really heard our talk?
I need to clear this before bshe asks me.  I took my phone and texted her .

Nithya's pov

Where is he? I need to talk with him. Otherwise my head will burst with overthinking. I was searching him for the last one hour.

Ruchika said that he went to backside of the hall.

I went there, but on the way got startled seeing the bride arguing with some guy.  I realized something was wrong there. Suddenly that guy grabbed her hand. I saw Karthik few feets away from them talking with that psycho doctor. I need to talk with him , but now I need to inform this to him .

Before I could say something we heard a slap sound and witnessed a whole drama there. When I came back from that shock Karthik went away from there.

I was so lost in my thoughts when I got a message notification from him.
