Aise Kaise Jaane Doon?

Episode #11

"Oh my god this place is actually cool.. this was something unexpected! there was a connection behind that wall!" Kunal said as he followed Meghna through the door to reach the connection to the other side of the same floor.

Meghna didn't have anything to say. She signalled him to remain quiet. There were few of Raghav's men standing there.

Two of the men noticed Kunal and Meghna, as they continued on their path. Soon they reached the other side. They recognized Rahul leaning against the railing, trying to get a glimpse of what was inside the room that he stood opposite to. Kunal walked in front of Meghna making way through the corridor to reach Rahul. Kunal decide to stay with Rahul while Meghna walked towards the room.

"Meghna..?" she heard as soon as she opened the door. It was Priyanka dressed in a beautiful pink gown. Meghna had removed her mask.

Priyanka was surrounded by few young ladies. Meghna couldn't recognize them. Meghna stepped forward.

"Priyu..?" Meghna replied as she wrapped her friend in a hug.
"Can you all leave us alone for some time, please?" Meghna heard her friend talk over her shoulder, to the ladies in the room.
As soon as Meghna heard the door shut behind her, she began, "Why are you here? Did he forcefully bring you here? I'll call for the police! How dare he? I hope he didn't harm you, has he?" Meghna said as she broke the hug.

"Meghna! No, you will not do anything. He could be too dangerous for us, Meghna. He can even harm my family and I don't want that. If you complain to the police about this then he will ruin my life, my family... Meghna you must leave! If Raghav gets to know that you came here searching for me then he will surely harm you. Just leave!" Priyanka said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What are you saying? We have come here for you! We will make sure Raghav doesn't know about you leaving the party or me calling the police. Just calm down-"

"Wait... What do you mean by WE? Who are the rest? Don't tell me Rahul and Kunal are here?" Priyanka's voice was shivering in fear and a tincture of anger.

"Yes they are waiting outside the room..." Meghna replied casually.

"WHAT!! Oh no! Why is Rahul here? Meghna take them both and leave right now, before someone notices. He will surely kill Rahul! Just go!" Priyanka pushed Meghna back, panic of having Rahul at the party clearly visible in her eyes.

"So you do care for him?" Meghna questioned calmly.

"I don't know, if it is called love or whatever but I just know that I can't watch him get hurt!" She said in a sudden relaxed voice thinking about something.

Meghna smiled, she hadn't mention the name of love.., "You already know what it is. But I can't understand this...why are you ignoring him and your feelings for him? why do you trust Raghav more?"

"Raghav... I don't trust him..and I can never trust him. He just gave me a reason to stay away from Rahul. I didn't tell you the whole truth. I did scream at him that day when he had shown me the video.... I knew it was all false! And as he realized that I wasn't gonna leave Rahul until I would decide to... he threatened me to stay away from Rahul and I tried.... Because he told me that he would harm Rahul. I thought he wouldn't know and I decided to meet Rahul for the last time... the last time I would ever meet or fight with Rahul- yesterday evening. But things didn't go the way it should have been! Raghav got to know. And he brought me here, to announce my engagement with him."

Meghna was astonished - this was definitely something she hadn't even thought of in her dreams.

"Engagement?! What are you saying? What about your parents approval? You won't live happily with him.."
