AGAR TUM SAATH HO

Chapter 1

"I can't believe you right now. You make me sick."

"I make you sick?! Really Deepika? I'm not the one stuck with my ex's tattoo which you supposedly claim your over. Don't you think it's high time you do something about it?"

"Don't you dare try to change the topic. And why do you always feel the need to bring this shit back up. We've talked and talked yet you still don't get it. What is that bothers you? The fact that we are on good terms or the fact that I still have that tattoo. Because let me remind you Ranveer Singh, it's my body. My decisions and choices of what I want to do with it. You are no one judge me for who and what I am."

They both remained staring at each other. The past days have been shit. This is the worst it's been and both can't seem to find a way out of it.

It all started a couple of weeks ago. Ranveer was working on his films while Deepika was busy on hers. However new material and promo was coming out for his new movie with another leading actress whom Deepika has shared sour experience with. That was not the problem though. The films team had decided to hype the buzz of the movie by trying to focus on their 'offscreen chemistry'

In other words there were blinds about them and unpleasant pictures leaking. To add fuel to the fire, the unnecessary cosy behavior. Of course Deepika knew that people need to be invested in the lead pair to buy into the movie. It was a romantic film after all. And it was also not the fact that he was working with that particular actress. She would never force him to not work with a certain person.

What she could not understand was the manipulative behavior and why she was dragged most times. She would be lying if she said it didn't hurt. But she shook it off. Hopefully things would be calmer after the movie and go back to the way they were. Until it got too much. She was infuriated by seeing pictures that screamed things were getting out of hand. Too cosy for comfort.

Ranveer could not believe she was accusing him of such things. The understanding that they had seemed to have was never there. He was questioning if this the Deepika he fell in love with. And she should be the last person judging him. She should know the importance of creating a buzz for the film. She after all had done such things in the past. That too with her ex. This was just too tiring. He was busy with filming one movie while promoting the other. This is the last thing he needs after a long day of work. Besides he was content with his movies and at the exact place he wanted to be in his career. This was the last thing he needed to worry about.

The past few weeks have been like this. Fighting and arguing. They were different. That was the thing that appealed both of them about each other. She is everything he is not. He is everything she isn't. They completed each other. But now it seems like their differences got the best of them.

She sighed looking up at him with her eyes soaked in tears looking at him for answers.
He felt a lump in his throat. He felt paranoid. This can't be happening. This must be some kind of nightmare.

But this time things had gotten out of hand. They both can't seem to be able to do anything to fix it. No matter how much they wanted to nor how hard they tried. Too much had happened. Too much of accusing and fingers have been raised. They had lied all their shit out on the table not able to recollect it. Turns out it was all just a baggage of insecurities and doubts.

"I am no one to judge. That's the problem Deepika. You don't consider me your anything. You would never know how much that hurts. I have considered you my everything and done nothing but cherish you. But fuck man I'm done. I don't need this bullshit from you or anyone."

Deepika chocked. She felt herself on the verge of a breakdown. She had come to resolve their issues and put an end to all this fighting. But things only seemed to be getting worse.

"And I thought you were better than this. I guess we all make mistakes."

Ranveer could feel his blood boiling. He is a man of high temper. Especially when it comes to her. He might not want to believe it but nothing sets off his temper better than her. He was straight up crazy when it came to her. Her words effect him like no other. More than he would like them to.

Before he knew it, he forcefully grabbed her wrist pinning it behind her back. Fire shot through him. She did not just call him a mistake.

He stared her straight in the eyes with his jaw clenched. His grip tightened as she looked back at him.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY"

She felt herself getting angry. She refused to let him get the best of her. She fought back to free her wrist. His grip tightened the more she fought. She has never seen him like this. He is uncontrollable!

"Ranveer let go of me."

She fought again and this time he pinned her to the wall. Her back against him while she turned back to look at him dead in the eye.

"I SAID LET GO OF ME"
"Not until I get my answer."
"What do you want from me"

He put his body against hers. Squeezing her between his body and the wall

"Mistake eh?" he mocked her

"What do you want me to say?" she managed to breathe out

"That you're joking. That none of this is real."

"But it is..."

They remained like that. Quite for a few minutes. Not knowing what to say. Until the pressure on her wrist got too much for her to handle

"Ranveer you're hurting me"

"And you're hurting me Deepika. What about that."

"Its not my fault is it? I only came here to make things better. But thanks to you things are now beyond repair."

He felt her words stab him in his heart. He felt himself slowly let go of her. He looked down at her wrist to find a nasty dark bruise. He looked up at her feeling guilty only to be returned with a disgusted look.

She walked past him to collect all her belongings. Her purse, keys, and phone. She headed for the door not wanting to spare another moment with him. He had lost all her trust and respect.

He grabbed her wrist once again, more softly this time.

"Please don't go" he cried and begged at the same time.

Deepika closed her eyes not wanting to face him.

"Stop. Please." She sternly said as he reluctantly let her go

That was the last he saw of her...
