Karanveer's POV:

What just happened?? Everything was fine a while ago but now... And only person is at blame. And right now he is standing here with me.

I so want to smack his face.. But I only am controlling myself because of Mausam.

I can see pretty well now what he thinks about Mausam.

"You like her?" I asked calmly. I know I am the one whom she likes and I am getting angry on him for sure. But everyone has a heart, we can't tell them to stop loving someone. But the thing is, we have taken steps and Mausam loves me I can see that in her eyes. The soon he understands the better.

"More than you do." He replied.

"I don't like her Neev.." he looked at me with doubtful eyes. "I love her." I completed and he fisted his hands.

"You were not here when we met, but I and Mausam know each other before she came to this town. We were best friends then. After she came here I realized that she was not only a friend to me but something more. Its not a one day thing or a play for me." I said and hoped that he will understand.

I waited for his reply that never came. He stared at me for sometime than walked away towards the parking. I wanted to stop him from driving as he was drunk, but my mind was elsewhere.

I planned of proposing Mausam tonight and taking her on a long drive but now she is hurt and alone. She refused to talk to anyone.

Mausam's POV:

As soon as I reached home I opened the door of the car and hoped off.

"Shruti and Kusum can stay with you." Akshay said from behind.

"Thanks but I want to be alone for a while." I replied turning to him.

"But no one is at your home. I can wait till your bhaiya comes."

"Its OK Akshay. Right now I really want to be alone and clear my mind off."

"Hmm OK. Let me know if you need anything."

I nodded and started walking after bidding him bye. I opened my door and entered my home. It was dark everywhere as no one's at home.

I straight went to my room and sat on my bed. As soon as I felt alone I burst into tears. Only I know how I controlled myself from crying over there.

I couldn't even imagine Neev behaving like a psycho. I just don't know why was he so drunk angry and...hurt. He was accusing Karan but when I slapped him.....he had hurt in his eyes. But the hurt of physical pain.

I never imagined even in my wildest dreams that I will slap him in front of all my friends. I am not a violent person.

He said wrong things about Karan. About that person whom you l..

"Shut up." I shouted at my conscience. I was crying again when I heard a tire screeching at my porch. Its may be bhaiya....or Karan?

Soon the door of my house opened and I heard steps coming towards my room. I stood up from my bed and started walking towards the door of my room but...my eyes fall on a reflection at the mirror of my room.

The reflection was wearing the same purple dress from before and purple earrings that her bhaiya gave her as gift on rakhsha bandhan. But this reflection's hairs were unmanaged and her eyes were puffy and red. Did I cry for this long? I thought.

"Mausam?" I heard a knock followed by my bhaiya's voice. "Are you back?" He asked doubtfully.

I hurriedly wiped my tears and replied "yes." God..my voice is so hoarse.

"Already? You OK?" He sounded worried.

"Yes. Am fine."

"I am coming in." He said and I froze. If he sees me in this tear stained face then he will surely know that something has happened. And I can't lie to him. So I ran into my bathroom and shut the door behind.

"Am bathing." I shouted from inside.

"Oh okay. Then come downstairs when you are ready. I'll be waiting for you for dinner after getting fresh. OK?" He said in a caring voice. I can hear his voice clearly it means he's in my room.

I like having dinner with him but I can't today. I am in no mood of eating. It leaves me only with one option.

"I ate a lot at the party bhaiya. I'll not have dinner. You do it alone today." I lied. Though I haven't eaten anything since afternoon and its already 10:30.

"Oh okay then do rest." His voice felt tired but it also felt hurt. Sorry bhaiya. I mumbled. I heard footsteps of his going out of my room. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I felt so exhausted. So I decided to take a hot shower.

After taking shower I realized that I didn't bring clothes with me so I wrapped a towel and get out of the bathroom. I went to my closet and changed into comfy clothes.

I checked my mobile to see if Karan or Neev has messaged or called me. But... There's wasn't any call from them. There was a text from Shruti asking if I was OK. So I replied her.

"M fyn." I wasn't in a mood of typing so I typed very short text.

"Wanna talk?" I got an instant reply from her.

"No. I wanna sleep."

"Don't wry." Texting her I switched my mobile off. I really wanted to sleep.

I don't know whatever happened out there, I am still confuse about what should I do? How am I going to face Neev? What has gotten into him?

My eyes felt heavy but my tummy was rumbling. I sat up on my bed and checked my watch. It was 11:15 pm. I was thinking about eating something when something hit my floor and startled me.

I switched on the lights and looked for it, there was a small pebble. As I picked it up another
Pebble hit on the floor this time with a note attached to it.

You up?

I read and reread those two words. What?

Someone is there below my balcony and asking me if I am up or not!!
