28: Not like Landmines

"Was it your fault?"

"No."

"Then tell me, why did you punch him?"

"............"

"This is the third time you aren't saying anything. This means it was your fault."
Samidha declared folding her hands in front of her chest and moving away from him as they walked.

"It's his fault! He said bad about y-, leave it. I don't care what you think."

Samidha shrugged as they crossed the road. But she saw Priya already standing there, so she went there with Sahaj following her.

"Fine. Hey Priya! It was his fault. He couldn't control himself and beat that poor guy."

She said loudly and Priya looked at Sahaj with a very timid but disapproving gaze.

Sahaj widened his eyes and inaudibly gasped.

"When did I say it was my fault?"

He argued and Samidha rolled her eyes, walking away ignoring him.

"Try giving proofs from next time my boy. Have a good night. Bye Priya!"
Samidha yelled turning around and bumping into someone.

Muttering a sorry she walked straight to a rickshaw and sat in it, ready to go home.

Turning back around one last time, she saw Sahaj and Priya standing there together and Priya saying something to him and him listening to her patiently.

She turned back around and shook her head. Priya is a nice girl, beautiful both at heart and face and there was nothing wrong about Sahaj liking her.

Soon Shubham came and both the friends left, leaving Priya alone.

When they were back at home, Shubham threw his bag on his chair and plopped himself on the bean bag. Sahaj did the same and threw himself on Shubham's bed.

He was almost never at his house. Either at Shubham's or somewhere which even Shubham didn't know.

"Why did you punch that guy?"

"He called Samidha a slut."

"What?"

"And I couldn't kill him!"

Let me tell you the exact words Rishabh said

Samidha is such a big slut. She's always around guys, talking to them and flirting around with them. I know she sat beside this asshole because of his money. Hahahaha. He must have refused her payment after their night, so she asked her whore friend to sit beside him and trap him. Priya is no less than Samidha, she's an even bigger whore.

And this was enough to tick Sahaj off.

Shubham could see Sahaj's rage in his eyes. They were red with anger and veins in his neck were popping out.

"He only said about Samidha?"

"I don't know. It's all because of her. She ignores whatever people say and that's...... that's.....Fuck!"
Sahaj growled not able to bear with the constraning feeling he felt around his neck due to his anger.

Lying down he breathed in deeply.

"You haven't been this angry for 5 months."
Shubham stated handing him a water bottle and rubbing his back.

"Why can't people digest that it isn't something I have done to have lots of money. What is my fault if my father has money?"

He asked sadly. Had Samidha not felt bad about him giving more money she wouldn't have sat somewhere else and no one would have had said anything about her.
