24. Leave.

ROOHI.

He is playing with my mind. Do not get fooled, Roohi. He is doing just what he was told to by saying this.

He came to me and grabbed my hand as he looked at me with a concerned face.

"I can not say much. But don't judge too early," he said to me before I could do something else with him. Our man came and grabbed him as they started to hit him and I looked back at the person behind me. Vimal Bhaiya.

And then I saw the man removing a knife from Rahul's pocket.

"He was going to attack you." Bhaiya's headman said to me as I was shocked by the knife.

Just because it was there doesn't means he was going to use it on me. Is it?

"Leave him."

"Don't speak between my deals," Vimal said as he kicked him on his stomach and he fell back. And he squatted to his level and grabbed his hair. And said something in a murmur as I couldn't hear it.

"Break his legs and arms and throw him in the river," he said to the man. And started to leave I grabbed Vimal Bhaiya before he could leave.

"Nobody threatens me or my reputation," he said before I can ask him to stop they took him and I couldn't stop them.

"This has nothing to do with your reputation of yours," I said to him before they can take action against him. But I saw him burning the jacket because I touched it. He removed it and burned it.

He is acting like he cares but then acting as if he hates me? What is going on?

I heard the screaming and crying sounds of Rahul as I went to Vimal Bhaiya and asked him to please stop this right now. But he utterly ignored me and pass from beside me.

And I kept trying to stop him from nearly murdering someone, insisting him so much, he did stop his man as he talked to them on a call and I finally let him go.

And then I walked out of the alleyway as I was wishing I can go and meet Suman Aunty. But if she will anyhow find out about what Rudram did to me. She will blame herself forever. It's better to let her go if I want her to be at peace.

A car came in front of me and it was our car with a driver. I sat in and drove back to the house.

I got out of the car and went inside the house and I saw Rajveer. He greeted me and I greeted him back, with a forced smile. And he came to my side and we started to walk upstairs.

"I found out about the guy you asked me to. He is in America," he said to me as my step halted.

"How did you find out? " I asked him as he shrugged.

"Just little sources," he spoke

Vanish disappeared?

Bullshit.

"I guess then I have to leave for him to America," I said to Rajveer as stopped.

"I too have to go away to America. Come with me," he said to me as I was a little uncomfortable with the fact but then I accepted it since one better than two.

"So when are you leaving?" I asked him. As we have to leave together.

"Two hours," he said as my eyes widen. "You have to get ready. We have to leave now if we have to go. I will talk to your brothers. Go get on packing, " He said to me and I agreed with him. And went to my room to pack. I started to pack taking all the important things I can remember and then I saw his ring in my dresser.

The ring he gave me on our Anniversary.

I looked at it and I sat on the stool, took it, and stared at it. I remembered the smile I had the time when he wished me and slid this ring into my hand. His last kiss on my forehead before he left. And I ended up sobbing and crying.

Why out of all the people in the world it had to be you,  Rudram. Why did you have to be the one hurting me?

I was happy for the first time in my life. Was I too selfish or were you?

Why Rudram? Why??

I cried and murmured to myself as I heard a door knock I stopped myself and swipe my tears away and I asked the person to come in.

"You ready? " He asked me and I nodded to him and slip the ring into one of the pockets of my bag I zipped them as the helper came and started to take them downstairs.

But before I could leave Rajveer. stopped me. And held my hand.

"You cried?" he asked me as I tried to free my hands from him.

"No, I didn't. It's just I was hurrying too much for packing that's why I'm so flushed." I said to him as he nodded.

"You can lie if that comforts you and I'll act like I believe it," he said and I looked at him. "Just don't let this make a home in you. Let it pass through. Don't hold on to it. As soon as this gets over. Believe that this was a nightmare and forget it. " he said to me and I nodded. Even though I don't know if I'm capable of doing anything.

"And there is something I didn't tell you. Before," he said to me as looked at him with a questioning look.

What more is there? Still, I have to intake.

"Rudram is in America too. He was on bed rest for all these months and just started to hold his consciousness well," he said to me and the realization hit me.

I will see him there too.

People think losing love is the hardest thing but it's not.

The hardest thing is when you are supposed to hate someone you truly love.
