A Love So True

Chapter 50

As soon as Eshana noticed their presence her eyes sparkled with joy , the fake victim mask of her went off , she gazed with a smug face towards Ishan who was standing on the opposite stand of her .

" Now , you're finished. What do you think? I'll let you live a peaceful life that easily after what you did to me ? Dream on."

Eshana voice out with so much hatred.

Ishan startled by her sudden yelling and turned his gaze towards her. Ishan was already very confused about everything. Hardik's sudden arrival with the director , Nehal's connection with Hardik , Eshana's excitement after seeing their arrival.... Ishan's heart became uneasy. He already got betrayed by everyone he had trusted. He searched but couldn't find any confidence to make himself believe that they came to support him. Ishan didn't give any reply to Eshana's venomous words . He sighed and stood there silently.

Nehal , Hardik along with Mr Kapoor walked towards Eshana who signaled Mr Kapoor to come near her.

Mr Kapoor gave a timid gaze at Nehal who nodded slightly. Mr Kapoor walked towards her stand.

Eshana leaned forward , her eyes sparkled with hope as she whispered to the director,

"Did you bring evidence against Shubman?"

The director's timid gaze avoided hers, his silence speaking volumes.

Eshana clicked her tongue in annoyance and whispered ,

" Why are you silent ? Just give my lawyer the evidence."

Mr Kapoor raised his eyes to look at her . Something his eyes not felt right to Eshana.
Her confidence began to waver.

Mr Kapoor slipped his hand into his pocket and took out a pendrive and walked towards Shubman's lawyer.
Eshana's eyes widened , she called him back.

" Hey , why are you giving it to Shubman's lawyer ? What -"

Shubman's junior lawyer took the pendrive and gave Mr Kapoor a polite smile. Mr Kapoor nodded and came back to his previous place beside Hardik.

Hardik's gaze landed on Ishan who was silently standing on the witness stand with his head lowered. Hardik's heart ached for him.

Hardik whispered something near Nehal's ear and walked towards Ishan.

Ishan who was standing there in daze , his mind was processing hundreds of thoughts.

"Chotu, come down. Mr Kapoor is going to give a statement."

Ishan's trance broke hearing Hardik's gentle voice.

Ishan nodded confusedly and climbed down from the witness stand. Hardik touched his shoulder and gave him a soft smile.

" Come with me."

Ishan stared at Hardik's face with confusion written all over his face as he was trying to read Hardik's intention.

Just by looking at Ishan's cute face , Hardik's heart swelled with affection, his hand instinctively caressing Ishan's head.  He sensed the fear or doubts whatever bothering Ishan .

" Let Bhaiya take you to a safe place. The main show is about to begin . I have to keep you safe. Come with me."

Hardik coaxed Ishan as he knew his little brother was afraid.

Ishan didn't know what made him feel like this , but suddenly he felt a sense of security after hearing Hardik's words. He gave Hardik a thin lipped smile and answered in low voice ,

" Okay Bhaiya."

Hardik took Ishan towards the place where all police were standing. As they stood beside the police officers, Hardik's authority was evident. The officers bowed slightly, addressing him as "sir."
Ishan's eyes widened, realizing Hardik's influence.
