MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND S2 (BOOK 1) ✔️

61~ Misunderstanding and Hurt

Next morning as Anah and Ipshita left the building they were once again harassed by a group of teens, leading them was Debesh Mukherjee, Mrs. Mukherjee's son. Every time they either had passed lewd comments or hooted and whistled at them but this time Debesh had the audacity to hold Anah's hand. She gasped and glared at him demanding sternly to let go of her hand.

'I will, beautiful. If you give us boys a chance too. Don't worry we will satisfy you like a man.' He winked at her. His eyes turning dark.

'Shut up and leave my hand.' Anah demanded, wriggling her wrist in his tight grip. For a lanky eighteen-year old he was strong. Ipshita too tried freeing her when another boy came and held her hand.

All this happened in broad day light but no one came. The watchman simply watched everything.

A few minutes later, someone grabbed Debesh's hand and pulled him away from Anah's. Before anyone could register what happened that someone had slapped Debesh so hard that he fell on the ground. The other boys ran away.

'Reyhan.' Anah is relieved, she hugged him tightly. Reyhan never gets into any of the fights be it verbal or physical but when he saw these boys harassing Anah and Ipshita he couldn't stop himself. Reyhan knew all this is happening since long but he tried remaining calm minus the occasional verbal spats with the drunk men. Now, enough is enough, not anymore.

'Thanks, you came.' Ipshita said gratefully.

Reyhan nodded. He held Anah's shoulder and separated their frames.

'Enough is enough, Anah. I am going to end this.' He said determinedly. Anah shook her head and extended her hand holding his, - 'No. I don't want you to get into any trouble because of me.'

Reyhan shook his head and held her shoulders, - 'No, I am not going to get into any trouble. I have a solution. I want to marry you.' He said. Ipshita gasped while Anah blinked at him.

Reyhan had thought a lot about this. Every time Anah had cried had made his blood boil and more so when he realized he is helpless. She was being harassed by almost everyone in the building, being called dirty names, being pressurized to leave the place. Reyhan has had enough. He decided he will marry her, claim that the baby is his and people will eventually stop gossiping. At least after knowing Anah has a man behind her the harassment will stop.

He looked at Anah expecting her answer. She pressed her lips tightly and quickly shrugged his hands off.

'Reyhan, you are my best friend. I trusted you more than anyone else. We knew each other since we were kids. At least I thought I knew you. But you, you are like the other men. Looking for a reason to sleep with me.'

Her words shocked both Reyhan and Ipshita. Anah felt betrayed by her best friend, someone she thought was her best friend. Anah quickly turned around and walked away, she didn't bother wiping her tears.

Ipshita pulled up her sleeves, - 'That girl needs a whack on her head.' She was about to walk but Reyhan held her hand. He looked teary eyed at her and shook his head. He is beyond hurt because Anah is misunderstanding him so badly.
