It's All Started With A Lie

Chapter- 68 Devastated

"Yeah, she may have lied to them," Avi also agreed.

...

After one month.

They still didn't find anything about Naina and were still searching for her. In this one month she didn't contact anyone, not even her parents.

Arnav was devastated and blaming himself again and again and crying in his penthouse. He was not going to the office and not meeting anyone other than Avi and Ajay. He locked himself in his penthouse without eating anything.

It's getting hard for Ajay to look after everything in his absence as many clients are asking for Arnav and many projects are put on hold waiting for his signatures. Whenever they require his signature on any document, it's Ajay who is going to Arnav's penthouse and taking the signatures. Arnav was not even reading any document, he was just signing wherever he was asked to.

Arnav confronted his dad about Naina but his dad denied telling he didn't do anything.

But he knows better that his father was the only one who is behind her disappearance. If not, how can she dare to leave the country with a fake passport and how the hell can she get one?

"How many days are you going to sit here without meeting anyone, Arnav?" Ajay hissed but he didn't get any reply.

"Aren't you going to answer me at least," Ajay yelled in frustration but Arnav didn't try to reply and tears were flowing from his eyes.

"At least eat something. It will give you energy to cry more," Avi remarked putting the food in front of him but Arnav didn't make any move.

"Eat something for fuck's sake," Ajay yelled and Avi put spoonful of food in front of Arnav's lips.

"Leave me alone," Arnav muttered and took the spoon from Avi's hand and put it back on the bowl.

"Arnav," Avi roared.

"Leave me alone," Arnav yelled back and threw the food bowl on the floor.

"Say something other than that dammit," Ajay cursed.

"What can I say, Ajay?" Arnav shouted.

"How can I eat when she is not there with me?" Arnav exclimed and fell on the floor on his knees.

"She left me, Avi. She left me."

"I can't even protect my woman. I am an incompetent man"

"It's all because of me, I can't even protect my woman. It's all because of me," he is saying this continuously while crying badly and punching his hand to the floor.

He is getting out of control again. His knuckles covered with blood still he is not feeling pain.

"Pull yourself together, Arnav," Avi tried to say as he sat in front of Arnav.

"Avi, aren't you mad at me? you want to beat me, right? I made your sister go away from you," Arnav muttered looking at Avi. "Hit me, Avi. Hit me," he started hitting himself.

"Control yourself, Arnav," Avi muttered with tears, holding his hands from hitting himself.

"Control, Arnav," Ajay said sitting beside him, controlling his own tears.

It's really hard for them to see their best friend like this. The Arnav they know always have a control on himslef and never acts hastily but this Arnav is so devastated, getting out of control.

"Arnav, you are right, I am mad," Avi said, cupping Arnav's cheeks and making him look at him.

"But not on you. I am mad at her for leaving all of us, for not telling things to us," Avi said.
