Simran's pov

It's been two days since Anurag locked himself in his apartment. I've already visited him four times. At first he denied to open the door but I had his seperate keys. So I did barged in his apartment to find a mess of everything -- shattered glasses, ripped pillows, scattered flowers and Anurag with a runny nose, tearful eyes and clumsy hair. I gasped.

"Anu, what are these ? And where is your phone ? I called you seventeen times."

No answer came. When we were returning from our group dinner, I had noticed two things. Yukti, who was blushing like a tomato and Anurag who was just sitting in the front seat with a blank face. I can read him so well that I knew something had to be wrong. Earlier when Yukti had gone, Anurag also went to find her. I don't know what happened then, but he still has the flowers he had prepared with him. I decided to ask once we reach.

However, dropping others at their home I came to my own apartment. As soon as I reached my room, I called Anurag. He didn't pick up. So, worried I hurried to his place. And there I was, standing in his apartment.

"Anu, come on... what happened?" I grabbed his chin and made him look at me. He's in his sweatpants with a Tshirt on. When I touched his cheeks and his eyes,I came to realise how much he had been crying from the time I dropped him off.

"Oh God." A breath left my lips as I pulled him to his bedroom and made him sit on the bed. Then I ruffled his hair, "Now, what happened Anu ? Tell me, please."

"Sims..." He looked up at me with those teary eyes, "I saw them..." The next things he said were quite surprising for me too but it all made sense about why Anurag is in this state and why Yukti was blushing in the car.

Yupe, Anurag had seen them kiss. Yukti and Gulki Joshi.

"Oh Anurag. I--" I wanted to tell him the truths but he seemed too vulnerable to tolerate anything, "You know what, cry it out. It'll make you feel better. Then we'll talk."

I grabbed his head and hugged him, his hands hugging me back. He sat there as I stood beside the bed and held his head against my stomach as he cried. I felt the cloth around my belly get wet from his tears.

Anurag, only if you saw me the way I see you. If only you loved me. You wouldn't have been this much hurt. God, why are you so cruel ?

After sometime he was sober up and we sat face to face. It took me nearly two hours to convince him to eat something. I continuously consoled him and told him that one day he had to face it. I told him to accept the truth. I don't know how much he understood. However I tugged him in bed and came to the living room. After cleaning the mess, I again checked on him. Seeing him sound asleep I also took nap on the sofa in his bedroom.

Back to present, right now I am standing in front of his apartment door, in my gown. It took me like hours to make him go to the prom with me. He agreed and now I put the keys to unlock his door. But he opened the door surprising me.

We both are wearing the latest release of couple set from our fashion brands.
