The conclusion-
Kabir could not speak. He gave me a blank stare and broke into tears sobbing abruptly . He could barely speak and i could sense him stammering .
I sat there with a neutral face
Kabir screamed
"Naira are you in your sense you killed Arhaan".But kabir Arhaan isn't real so how can he be killed ?
What? Arhaan is real naira . You met him. You spoke to him . I lied to you . I made you believe you were delusional . I paid the coffeehouse guy to lie to you. But , you have murdered a real guy naira .
Listen i was madly in love with you I could not see you loving someone else in front of my eyes . I made this all up . I involved the other doctor by bribing him . I blocked and deleted arhaan's number from your phone . Every night you slept i deleted Arhaan's messages from your chats I guess you forgot I have my finger print in your phone . That's why you could only see your messages every morning when you woke up.
Listen love , i will cover this up for you . I didn't realise that this could become so wrong . I will confess that i did this .
Kabir you're lying i said . Arhaan isn't real.
He is naira, i lied . Oh god!
why did i do this to you. You killed him . You killed Arhaan . No sorry, i killed him . I killed him . I am responsible for all of this . See i did this .No i killed him kabir ,
No naira i killed him . On the heavier hand i am responsible for all of this .
Because of me Arhaan is dead and killed your sanity , Naira .That moment I felt like i was about to faint . I raised my eyes looking at Arhaan all this while and said to Kabir.
" i have your confession, you're guilty "
I flashed the screen recording his voice and paused it in front of him .My eyes filled with tears looked at kabir with intensity . Sorry , I said I had to do this to you but i do not regret after knowing how a big cheat you are . You have failed as my bestfriend today Kabir .
You made me live like a crazy woman all this while . I was on the verge of losing my sanity . I lost my job all because of your obsession. This is what you do to someone you love ?Naira, why would you kill someone to make me confess the truth?
I had no other way kabir i had to do this to make you understand what you have done .
Do not forget i have your confession where you said that you killed Arhaan .Naira? You can't do this to me !
You killed Arhaan, kabir . I didn't. You made up all of this .
I snapped my fingers with a smirk on my face i said .
If you can fake a disorder about a sane woman and report Arhaan's id using your power and reach .
A real man can obviously fake his own death to protect the girl he loves.How does it feel kabir to be called crazy to lose a job and to lose a bestfriend and feel betrayed at the same time? Terrible doesn't it .
What do you mean naira ? What are you saying ? What do you mean he is faking his death ? Is he not dead ?
Talk to me naira .Kabir was still staring at arhaan's body .
Immensely sobbing on what he had done he started banging the windows of my apartment with his hand .There was a pat on kabir's shoulder
Hey kabir , I am Naira's delusion I ain't real, Arhan khanna remember ?The end .
