"You want to know who told me you and ankush were dating ? You want to know who stole my everything from me ? You want to know who shattered my dreams ? You want to know who fed me lies so that i could hate you ?   You want to know who ruined it all for me ?for us ? " He exasperated and she nodded scared for  what was coming next 

" Ankush " He told .

" What ? Wh...why would...he do that ? " She stuttered  shocked

" Are you sure you are not mistaken ? " She asked in a low voice hurt by the revelation. More than that she was shocked at the fact that ankush would do that to karan. They were extremely good friends and she couldn't even imagine how much it would have hurt him

" i don't know....i fucking know nothing ! He was the one who told me you guys were dating and now that you told me the truth , it means everything else he told me was a lie too " He exasperated  running a hand through his hair. His mind was messed up . Everything that he believed to be true was all a lie . How was he supposed to react to this ? Did Ankush really lie to him ?

" Karan ? What else did he tell you ? " She asked and he gulped. This was difficult . He wasn't  brave enough to accept anything. How will he look himself into the mirror without hating himself for giving so much pain to the girl he loved .

" I ... so..i am sorry ... so sorry ...i really am sorry laddoo " His voice chocked as he hid his face with his hands  .

" Will you tell me what's wrong ? Hua kya tha karan ? " She asked impatiently looking at him

" i need to confirm things first " He mumbled and she sighed

" Why can't you just tell me ? Mujhe nahi samajh arha ki merse sab kuch chupakar kya hoga ? " She said irritated 

" Tumhari nafrat se bachunga...i don't want you to hate me ." He screamed leaving her stunned

" Why would i hate you , karan ? I would never " she said softly

" Because i deserve the hate teju...i really do ...i cannot even bring myself to face you right now ...i feel like an idiot ...so just don't ...." He exhaled tryinf to control the tears that pricked his eyes .

" let me be the judge of that karan . " She mumbled

" I cannot ....i cannot even talk or tell you anything without guilt creeping up ..." He said and left ignoring teja  shouting his name . 

She stood there motionless trying to make sense of all the mess. What did ankush do or tell karan that broke him so much.

She didn't know what to do now. They had to leave from goa in a few hours .

Someone knocked on his door and he got up to open it . Teja stood there with red eyes and he stared at her worried .

" Can i come in ? " she asked in a low voice . She entered his room once he nodded  , her eyes glancing around taking in the whole room. His clothes were in a pile kept just beside the open suitcase.

" I know ..." He heard her say and frowned in confusion

'What ? "

" I know everything ....Omi told me " She said and his eyes widened for a bit in surprise before his face went to blank. Guilt swirled in his eyes and he avoided looking into her eyes
