"We're... Sorry" Arishfa said quietly between her sobs and left.
"What does she mean by 'we're sorry'? How dare she say that? ARISHFA KHAN!!!! COME HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" Avneet started shouting and cirsing Avneet.
She couldn't handle the fact that she lost her friend who was there for her even when her own family was not. No one can... Can they?
"Avneet... Please... calm down... Stop it. He won't come back by your crying..." Jannat said while Vaish hugged her and tried he rest to calm Avneet down, who just repeating one thing and that was that Bhavesh didn't leave...
Avneet immediately broke the hug by Vaish and went inside the room.
***
Siddhart, who was hella confused and curious about what was happening outside, was now hearing sins and those were familiar.
"Wait- Avneet is... crying? What the hell is actually happening!?" Siddhart said, dying out of curiousity.
After sometime, the sobs stopped making him even more confuse. And the next moment, he heard his group calling Avneet's name.
Anushka and Riyaz came inside and as soon as they did, Siddhart bombered them with questions.
"What happened outside? What happened to Bhavesh? Why was Avneet crying? Why were everyone calling her name? Why aren't you saying anythin-" Siddhart was cut off by Riyaz.
"Bro just shut up can you!?" Riyaz burst on him making him go quiet immediately.
"Ri!" Anushka scolded him.
"Actually, Bhavesh... got shot... He's dead... now..." Anushka said sadly.
"WHAT!?" Siddhart shouted in shock. Of course, he expected many other things but not this.
***
On the other side, Avneet sat on the stool near Bhavesh's bed and kept on crying. She was sobbing so hard that the voices could be heard even outside the room but she could care less.
"Bh-Bhavesh! Wake up! Stop with this prank! Bhav! Wake up! You won't- You won't listen to your pumpkin!? At least this once. This last once please. Please wake up!" Avneet said between her sobs and please don't take this as an Indian serial but... Avneet felt his fingers moving and she immediately looked at him through her tears to see his eyes moving and his breathing getting abnormal.
"Bhav!" Avneer said happily.
"I'll call the doctor!" She said worriedly and was about to go when he held her hand.
"I don't... have much time... left... Pumpkin... I just... wanted to... te-tell you that..." Bhavesh said.
He sighed as he continued.
"I... Love you... Avneet... I really love you from... from... childhood... Thank you for... coming to my... my life... Thank you and... I love you... Avneet" Bhavesh said between his last breathes and Avneet was still. She was shocked by the sudden, first yet the last confession of her childhood best friend whom she always took as a brother.
And with that, Bhavesh smiled while breathing heavily and closed his eyes. His hand which was holding Avneet's, fell. And his head rolled to the right side.
Avneet's right hand reached her mouth and she again started sobbing like she won't ever get the chance of sobbing again.
***
It's been an hour since Bhavesh died. The group members are trying their best to make Avneet smile, who sitting like a zombie staring at nothing particular in Siddhart's room.
Talking about the body, police took it with them to investigate deeper.
Siddhart, who was hating looking at Avneet pile this, made dad jokes and the group understanding uis intentions, fake laughed whereas Avneet didn't show a sign of laughter.
"Guys, do you know why 10+10 equals to 11+11?" Siddhart asked everyone with humour in his voice.
"Why?" Ashi asked playfully.
"Because 10 plus 10 is 20, and 11 plus 11 is twenty too." Siddhart said and laughed his ass off after, with the other group members, of course except than Avneet.
"STOP IT CAN YOU!!??" Avneet shouted at Siddhart with her face red with anger, making his smiled fade away immediately, including other members.
"What-" Siddhart was cut off by Avneet coming towards him in anger and holding the collar of his patients uniform.
"DON'T YOU KNOW THAT SOMEONE JUST DIED AN HOUR AGO!!!???" Avneet shouted at his face while his face clearly showed that his wound has now started to hurt.
"Avneet... Leave him... He's already hurt!" Vaish tried to calm her down.
"JUST SHUT UP EVERYONE!! CAN'T Y'ALL SEE THAT BHAVESH DIED!!?? MY CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND DIED!! AND Y'ALL ARE LAUGHING!!??" AVneet shoured, still not leaving Siddhart's collar who was now at the verge of shouting but controlled himself.
"Av-Avneet..." Siddhart suttered through the pain with his face red.
"What huh? You still wanna laugh? Laugh than! Of course you don't know the pain of losing someone. You're such a jerk Siddhart Nigam!" Avneet said angrily before leaving him with a jerk and left the room. Not knowing how much her words hurted someone she just threw.
"Siddhart!" Anushka said worriedly, as she noticed the blood stains on his chest. Shouting that now, the stitches are open.
"Call the doctor! Fast!" Abhishek said while holding Siddhart's hand, who was now groaning in pain. Not only the physical one, but also the emotional one, which was given by the girl he loved the most. While Riyaz ran to call the doctors.
"Argh! Fast... Please!" Siddhart shouted, trying his best to stop the pain by pressing the wound, which caused the blood to flow more.
"Don't press it idiot! The blood will flow more!" Vaish scloded him, while holding his other hand.
"Please, all of you. Go outside!" The doctor; Arishfa said in a rush, who was with more nurses and doctors.
"Arishfa! Let the other doctors do the operation, come with me. I have another patient for you." Riyaz said in a rush. Arishfa at first refused but agreed anyway.
While everyone went outside, the other doctors performed the operation.
The groups was hella worried but went where Riyaz was taking Arishfa.
***
At first, the group was confused when he brought everyone to another room. But their eyes widened when they saw Avneet on the bed.
"AVNEET!? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!?" Jannat shouted as soon as she saw Avneet there.
"She got into an accident. Please everyone, we need to co-operate and go outside." Riyaz said to everyone with tears in his eyes as well.
"Avneet..." Jannat said silently through her never ending tears.
