Truthfully Yours

Chapter 18

Suddely a boy from nowhere came running and fell at our feet crying. I didn't see who was that as he fell abruptly.

" I'm sorry.. I'm sorry ", he said crying. I was startled and moved away. Vir pulled him up by shoulders. He was..

It was none other than Shyam. He was a crying mess now. His hands were trembling. I was shocked. Why is he crying like this?

" Its okay.. its okay.. Shyam it wasn't your fault. Go.. ", Vir said and he hugged him crying. Vir hugged him back.

What just happened now? What did he do to fall on feet?

  Shyam looked at me with eyes radiating guilt. Vir asked him to leave but Shyam didn't. I was feeling that today i may get to know something which will kill me for sure.

" I have to tell her truth ", Shyam said. I was confused. But Vir was pushing him away.

" No Shyam. Leave it. It's all over now. Go home ", Vir said. Shyam looked looked him with tears and smiled.

" Trying to save me? You can't always act too genuine.. ", Shyam asked and he nodded no.

" M-Madhvi.. I'm sorry. I have no right to tell your name with my mouth.. ", he said and fell at my feet again. I stepped back.

" What do you want shyam? What are you doing? ", I yelled with tears threatening to fall.

" Please forgive me. I know.. I can't be forgiven but atleast do punish me. ", he said and I don't know how to react. Why is he sorry? I'm already confused and now he's behaving wierd.

" Why are you apologizing? ", I asked and he looked up at me. He then looked at Vir who was looking away. I saw that Vir was blinking his tears away. Is he crying?

Aaahhhhh!!! I'm losing my sanity.

" Tell me you both!! What the fuck are you all hiding? ", I shouted while pushing both their arm. Shyam flinched but Vir didn't. He was looking away and lot looking at me.

Shyam stood straight and started to tell. Told the truth..

I slapped him hard. He flinched. I held his collars and shook him with anger and agony. I was breaking into tears. Vir was trying to pull me but I was beating Shyam with all I had. All the pain.. all the hurt and all the words I threw at Vir. Damn I don't deserve him. I was beating him. Vir pulled me away from him.

I held Vir for support. He held me back to save me from falling. I looked up with guilt. He was crying too.

In my case.. i got a new person, my child but in Vir's.. he lost a person in his life.

" Please forgive me.. ", I whispered joining my hands at him. He held my hands and shook his head in denial.

" You're never at fault.. you'll never be..", he whispered back. I cried.

" I'm sorry both of you. I'll not ask forgiveness. I don't deserve to live.. ", shyam said crying. Vir left me and walked to him.

"Enough.. go home", he said. Shyan looked at him with tears.

"Go.. you have people to take care of. You have responsibilities. Go and do that. I can solve my problems and don't ever feel guilty for anything. You did nothing intentionally. It all happened. Abd you know.. my stars are really bad. They don't like me being happy. But you.. deserve happiness. ", Vir said hugging him.

"Vir.. how can you- "

"Shyam!! Just leave. Forget like it never happened. It's my request.. ", Vir said joining his hands. Shyam stepped backwards while crying. He ran away.

I was trembling with tears flowing down my cheeks. Vir pushed Shyam to go home. I looked at Vir who was looking somewhere else.

" I.. I am sorry ", I whispered. I seriously want to say that more aloud but those words came out just like a whisper. But nevertheless He heard it.

" You don't have to.. ", he said.

" But I hurted you by calling you a drug addict when you never did that ", I said crying. He wiped my tears with his soft hand.

But there was a sudden slap on Vir's cheek. He fell down. I flinched as I was startled.

" Vir.. ", I inhaled sharply.

" How dare you touched my sister?? "
