Anha POV:

ONE MONTH LATER

Life has been good yet Kripa is giving a cold shoulder to us, neither I have tried to talk to her. But I definitely know that I can accept her in my life as Hardik informed me what had happened with her. I had no idea what was going around me, my trust about people used to be fade away if I didn't had good friends with me.

Last night I got the call from hospital to inform me about Rita being hospitalized. They said me she made an attempt to kill herself and was rescued by her family by getting her to the hospital on time. But, what is the situation that she needed to talk to me. I have disconnected all my relations with her on that day after seeing her with that person.

After hearing about her condition I felt of talking to her, even though she had backstabbed me I used to treat her as my elder sister. But, I am not having enough courage to face her. I have asked Hardik to accompany me, so now I'm here waiting for him at my house.

Me and Hardik got very close to each other from past few days. He stood for me when I needed a friend most. I would never say he is a calm guy because he is not open up every one. The guy who I know is totally different from the one whole world knows. Even though we are friends since few weeks he understands me more than me. By seeing us new people would think we were best buddies from diapers. It surprises me how close we have grown towards each other in few days.

He is very reserved, adorable and one of the most wanted guy in our school. But he never eyed a girl, I bet every single stare towards me from every girl in school shoots daggers. If looks can kill I had been under six feet long back by receiving those stares from girls. But he is my friend, my support and my anchor.

As Hardik stopped his car and pressed a honk which bought me in to reality. I made my way towards him getting into the passenger seat we started to reach hospital. "So....." Hardik asked by raising his eyebrow. "So? " I asked him where this conversation was leading to. " Well my dear sweetie pie, I know we are heading towards hospital to meet this girl. But may I know why are going to meet her after what happened with you in the past? " he was wearing a frown on his face.

"Ok, I know what to want me to do but just think about it Hardik she was like an elder sister, with whom I used to share every single of mine. Now she just missed the bed of death, I don't even know what made her to kill herself. Above all of them I can be that rude to others so let's just drop it here itself."

He opened and closed his mouth to say something but maintained silent with lack of words. I turned my face so that I was seeing the buildings passing through our way. His concentration was on road, there was uncomfortable silence in the car. It made me uneasy by thinking about my behavior towards him which made me feel guilty.

Collecting all my courage I have faced him and mumbled quick sorry. He didn't heard what I have said to cause it felt like a whisper which I can't even hear. So this time I was a bit loud "I am sorry Hardik, my intention was never to hurt you. Ahh shoot me I can't even apologize properly" I don't know what caused him to laugh at me but now he was having a smile on his face.

"I know butter cake that what you wanted to say and I'm sorry that I was being a bit bossy but you don't need to apologize for being kind. I was a bit concerned towards you for meeting her. But now I feel u need to finish the matter rather than prolonging it." his words were true, not even realizing we made it towards the hospital.

Even though I made a long speech in the car now I was getting a bit tensed to meet her. "Well young lady, don't you dare to show your back now. Get your lazy ass out of my car and head towards the reception I will meet you over there after parking my lot." Hardik seeing my tension mocked me playfully.

" What are you, my dad ? No thanks, I'm happy with having already one in my life." I teased him back which made me to gain playful glare from him. After asking details we went towards her room no. 503 in the 5th floor. Even though I wanted to hear what she wants to talk to me I'm scared to face her I don't want my past to rule my life again.

I was sweating due to the tension identifying my features Hardik hold my hand and gently squeezing it to reassurance me, walking inside. His simple gesture made me to realize what ever situation it may be my anchor will always be there for me to support me.
