**************** It was the next morning, everyone was up except Siddharth. Everyone was sitting at the dining table waiting for him when Mrs. Sharma spoke.
"I don't know what's happening to Siddharth nowadays. He is behaving so weird and he is also not up till now?" Complained Mrs. Sharma.
"Relax Atika, something must be bothering him," assured Mr.Sharma. Abhishek and Vaishnavi glanced at each other.
"Uncle, should I go and see him?" asked Abhishek and Mr.Sharma nodded his head yes. Jannat was looking at all this and she was agreed by her mother. Suddenly something came to her mind. She saw Abhishek standing from the chair when she said.
"Abhi Bhai, Can I go? Please?" Abhishek nodded understanding he will open up with her. She stood from the chair and ran to his room, Abhishek looked at Mr.Sharma and sat on the chair.
Jannat knocked on the door, but there came no response. She slightly opened the door to see him sitting near the window tapping his leg. She took baby steps to reach him, she realized he was lost in his own world. She shook her and that's when he noticed her.
"Siddharth, what happened? why are you looking dull?" asked Jannat looking at her best friend after a whole 1 week. Siddharth stood up, tension was visible on his face.
"Say something. You look bothered," added Jannat keeping her hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know how to tell you. I am feeling so restless and I couldn't even sleep properly the whole night, I don't know what's happening. oh god." declared Siddharth. Jannat found him in panic.
"Alright? Sit and drink it, calm down." Jannat said making him sit and passing him water. He drank it in 1 sip. Jannat was saying soothing words to calm him. Once he was calm she asked him.
"Now burst out everything you have in your mind." he looked at her, She blinked her eyes.
"I...I love someone" He confessed, and she jumped in excitement.
"Don't tell me. Really?" spoke Jannat standing up overwhelmed with excitement. Siddharth nodded and smiled seeing her excitement.
"That's good news, why are you upset then?" She asked sitting next to him again. Siddharth's smile faded.
"I...I married her yesterday." this faded away Jannat's smile too which made Siddharth tenser.
"You married her?" asked Jannat confirming that if she heard right. Siddharth nodded. Jannat frowned.
"Without me?" she said making a grumpy face. Siddharth chuckled. Siddharth held his ears saying sorry.
"Her stepmother is selling her today to someone for money and she asked me to pick her up today. I don't know how to bring her here. How will aunty react?" he threw a lot of questions at once.
"Why only mom? others would also react right?" asked Jannat confused. Siddharth looked down wondering if he told her that she was also unaware, she would react
"Abhi Bhai and uncle know about it," informed Siddharth, Jannat looked at him in shock.
"I was not only informed. Siddharth? Am I even your best friend?" she said in a whisper, a tear falling from her eye. Siddharth was about to speak when Jannat cut him.
"I am a girl so she is. I would say, if you have accepted her, stand for her. Stop caring about others, especially mom. I know how to handle her." saying this she stood up to go when Siddharth called her. She stopped.
"I'm sorry, I really need you at this time, please don't get angry with me. Please?" Apologized Siddharth.
"Dad was calling you on breakfast. Come fast." saying this she left. Siddharth kicked the stool kept near his bed.
*******************
It was evening, Avneet didn't go to the office today as she was packing everything secretly. That's when the doorbell rang. Avneet got a call. It was Siddharth, she picked it up.
"Siddharth, are you on the door?" asked Avneet confirming.
"I'm coming" She again answered back. She ran to open the door, Siddharth came inside and she hugged him tightly not even closing the door. Siddharth felt peace after a long restless day. She looked at him and he kissed her forehead which made tears flow from her eyes.
"I missed you so much." She whispered touching his cheeks lovingly. That's when they heard the sound of clapping. Their eyes looked at the door to see the man who was about to buy Avneet. Avneet got scared and gripped Siddharth's shirt. Siddharth looked at Avneet and she nodded. Anger rose in Siddharth.
"You bloody bastard, how dare you to keep an eye on my girl huh?" Siddharth ranged holding his collar. Avneet's stepmother came there listening to the noises.
"Siddharth," Avneet wasn't ready to leave him.
"What is happening here? Who are you?" her stepmother asked pointing at Siddharth. He left his collar with a jerk pushing him back and taking steps toward his mother-in-law.
"Im Avneet's husband, Siddharth Nigam." this introduction shocked his mother-in-law. The man fisted his hand in anger.
"I have today come here to take Avneet and nobody can stop me. No one." Uttered Siddharth with anger in his voice. He dipped his hand in his pocket to find 10 lac rupees and handed it in her mother-in-law's hand.
"You needed money, here it is. Don't ever try to trouble my Avneet." Threatned Siddharth before turning to look at that man. Man's eyes were full of anger and lust.
"Come Avneet." Said Siddharth as he saw her standing there looking down with bags in her hands. Siddharth held her hand innfront of that man.
"Have a nice time Ma'am." Greeted Siddharth before leaving with Avneet following him hand to hand. Stepmother's mouth was open in shock and fear. As soon as both left, the man looked at stepmother in anger.
"I won't spare both of them and you also. Be careful from now itself." Threatned that man before leaving and shutting the door hard. The stepmother was now shivering in fear.
"What have I done? What have I done?" whispering this the old lady started cursing herself and that man's fear had reached her bones.
