Note-:Before we begin.
Rajat was with three women,out of which one he married.
1.Sonia-She had a son named haroon,jo rajat ko lgta hai k beti thi.
Isliye inki life se uska koi waasta nahi raha.
2.Sana's mom-He has no child there, so sana and Vikas are not related.
3.Supriya-She had a bad night and some misjudgment of his character.
Hence got pregnant with vikas.
They never had an affair,it was one night and life time of blackmail.
Haroon has nothing to do in the story.
Okay onto the chapter now.
.
.
.
Vikas was here. He called kaaya and she informed him to come to Sana's place because sidharth is not answering and he isn't coming home tonight.
Which no one is blaming him for by the way.
Shriya was having a drink with kaaya and now vikas joined them as well.
Vikas-Sana kb aa rahi hai?
K-Pta nahi,she is still in hospital aur badi maa ko bhi bhej diya hai.
Jo kheench k le aata wo toh hai nahi.
She didn't even rest for a while.
Sidharth bahar nikla aur thodi der mein wo bhi.
Shriya-Were you shocked?
Vikas-Yes.
K-No.
They looked at k.
K-What?You know the kind of person i am,i would respect the fact k aapne ye jaan buj k nahi kiya par at the end you chose revenge over sense right?
Sana clearly made him promise to not do anything wrong in rage.
The way she is,she would never have been able to forgive him waise bhi.
I mean agar tum soch rahe ho jisne apni maa ko maaf nahi kiya 15 saal tak,wo sidharth ko ekdum maaf kardegi toh galat hi hai.
Main bolun bhi kaise,i am sana when it comes to this.
The whole reason i left vikas was the same thing.
You could've told me,but you decided to make a choice and that choice hurt me.
Same happened with sana.
But yes breakup wasn't expected....mujhe lga tha wo break legi.
Like staying apart from him or something.
I guess her mom being gone hit her harder than i expected.
Shriya-You know what i think, i think sana did the right thing.
I mean the only people that were her actual family are in danger so i don't know how much of a girlfriend she would've played waise bhi.
She needed this.
Vikas-You think so???
Shriya-Ofcourse ,insan ki aksar aadat hoti hai sath hoke shayad chezen smj nahi aayen lekin agar distance ho jaye toh it puts things into perspective for you...smj behtar aata hai k aap reh skte hain ya nahi reh skte unke bina.
Vikas-I second that...it happened to me.
He kissed kaaya's head.
K-Its just sad that everything is working against them.
How are you feeling love?
Vikas*sighing*Horrible,i feel like I've wronged sidharth.
K-Hey no you haven't ,tumne kuch chupaya hota toh wo baat hoti.Tumhe toh kuch pta bhi nahi tha.
Shriya-She is right Vikas,it wasn't your fault.
Vikas-Its little comfort to be honest.I loved that woman so much.Maa meri inspiration rahi hain bachpan se.
Well thi,meri inspiration thi.
I just,don't know how to move on from this.
Fuck,this hurts so bad.
Kaaya hugged him and let him cry on her shoulder.
Shriya-I am sorry this happened vikas,but can i ask you something?
Vikas-Sure.
Shriya-Is there anything else,we don't know about?
Like i feel you know something else as well.
Vikas made up his mind before coming here.If he will tell someone about this,it would be sana when all of this is over.
His mother might have lowered her bar but he won't.
He won't rat it unless its absolutely necessary.
Vikas-No..just the reality of it all is what is bothering me right now.
Shriya-All right well,i think we all should go rest.
K-I thought we were going to talk to sana in a while?
Shriya-No i think we must not.
Let's give her and sidharth one night to cathart.
Waise bhi kal sham ko we have an important decision to make agar vikas ki mom location nahi bta payi toh.
They stood up and decided to go and take separate bedrooms.
Shriya went into Sana's mother's room.
Vikas and kaaya went into shehbaaz's old bedroom.
Sana was still in the hospital.She was so exhausted but any chances of sleep flew out the window the moment she met sidharth and called it quits with him.
She did it full well knowing the situation.
She wouldn't have been able to look at him as long as shehbaaz is on that bed and her life is a mess like that.
For someone who has equally fucked up life as hers,sana decided to not add into the mess.
She chose the distance route instead of making it long and insufferable, she did it quick.
Like pulling a band aid off a wound.
Quick,but painful.
It wasn't easy for her as well but the moment she read the message her step father sent her,she broke.
And no the breakup wasn't his condition.
She did that, she did that because she wanted to deal with this her way.
Sana closed her eyes and saw the moment that changed her mind.
Few hours back when sana held the phone close to her.She was waiting for rajat to tell her what he wants.
But she clicked into what appeared to be 10th voicemail from sidharth.
She has stopped talking to him after the revelation ofcourse, but the voicemails kept coming.
She opened one of them and it was sidharth crying and begging for her apology.
She did reply to it with,
"Please give me some time"
And the rest were all concerns about why am i not picking up the calls or other small stuff.
The kind of involvement sidharth had in her,she knew it would be impossible to do anything without hurting him.
But when rajat told her his condition she realized there was no easy way to do it.
Do it right now and let it go.
Har lihaz se takleef toh honi hi thi.
She decided to do what she felt was needed at the moment.
Perhaps some other time when their lives won't be terrible,they will be able to be with each other again.
Right now,she wants her mother back and her brother okay.
Not to mention, the man responsible for destroying her life has to be punished.
That was Sana's goal.
She was going after rajat now,anything else wasn't going to stop her.
Even right now as she laid in same room as shehbaaz, her body was aching for some human warmth.
Her pain slowly crept away from her eyes.
She was cursed and she knew it from the beginning.
Anyone she loves,ends up with the same fate.
The moment she reconnected with her mother,she is in danger too.
Perhaps she is the problem. Maybe if she can run away from this life ,it will be good for everyone.
Sana looked at her phone and saw so many messages from all her friends.
Mostly concern.
She saw that sidharth has texted her as well.
The sequence of it all was telling her how he is feeling.
1. Don't do this sana,please don't do this.
2.You once said you've never felt this way about someone,i made a mistake please forgive me.
And then the drunk ones started.
1.You know what.You are a selfish and a coward. You chose to run away from things instead of talking them out.
2.*more drunk*I am fucking in pain...i am in pain and its because of you.
3*slurred speech*Fuck crying and feeling bad.I should do what anyone does when they break up.
Congratulations miss gill,its officially over now.
And then she saw a picture of him tongue kissing some random woman in a seedy bar.
Was she hurt?Yes.
Was she surprised?No.
She can't be mad at him for reacting ofcourse.
But the kiss however was painful.
No matter the breakup, there are certain things that should be respected if the time together mattered.
Sana was crying again.
This wasn't supposed to be this ugly and sad.
Who will win in the battle of egos???
Pta nahi...but everytime that happens,
Love loses the fight🥂
.
.
.
Sidharth was hell drunk doing random things in the back room of a club blaring loud music.
The music was enough to drown any voice and for the pain he already has enough alcohol in his body.
After texting and voice mailing sana multiple times,he did whatever he felt like to get some sort of reaction out of her.
Something....anything.
Nothing seemed to work.
It was after puking his guts out for the second time at 2'o clock at night ,he decided to go back home.
Huh..home?What home?
Oh God sana and him have a home together.
Oh god he wanted to marry her and oh god she broke up with him.
And there it was again,the pain.
The mind numbing pain.
He decided he doesn't wanna drive so he made the barkeep call him an uber.
People around him were staring at his face and being confused as to what the hell was going on.
They knew who he was and without a doubt they knew his girlfriend.
So naturally everyone that saw him like this wondered what the hell was going on with him.
Its been almost 2 years they haven't seen sidharth shukla like this.
He is never like this.
What changed???
Sidharth didn't give a fuck right now ofcourse.
He went to his penthouse and with a little help from his watchman, was escorted to his bedroom.
When he was alone and puked some more and the alcohol was out of his system.
The tears followed.
He was crying and had no idea how to stop his tears.
Sidharth did grab his phone and when he realized he sent her a picture of him.kissing some floozy that did make him more upset.
Fuck his temper and lack of sense after drinking.
But more than that what hurt him was,sana hadn't even replied to that.
So it means nothing huh?The fact that her boyfriend, well ex boyfriend just sent her a picture of him.kissing someone else and she didn't even care.
He sent her one more message before throwing the phone away from him.
All he knew was,this was going to be the end of him.
If sana is in fact out of his life he will kill.rajat and bella if he has to.
For ruining the best thing that happened to him.
He did close his eyes after some time and sleep blessed him with few hours of rest.
Sana on the other hand saw her phone buzz and wiped her eyes.
She had cried so much,her head is hurting.
Sana saw it was sidharth's.
Reluctantly she clicked on it and it was just a song link.
This done near broke Sana's heart.
It was "sorry seems to be the hardest word"
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there?
What have I got to do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word!!!!
Sana closed the phone and looked at shehbaaz's monitor.
She stepped closer to him and held his hands.
Sana*crying*I need you here with me sabby,plz don't do this to me bhai.
I don't know what hurts more than the other.
Please be okay for me,plz.
Plz help me find a way out because the way i am walking on might not be the smartest.
She kept her head on his bed and cried to her heart's fill.
Maybe she will be lucky enough and her eyes will dry up.
.
.
.
Sidharth opened his eyes due to some commotion in the living room.
The hard slap of hangover welcomed him as he fluttered his lashes open.
His mouth was so dry he felt like a desert from inside.
The moment he was about to grab water, he saw aayush coming in with his mother.
The moment sidharth saw her he tried to sit straight.
Sid-Mom..what are you doing here??
Aayush-She was worried bro,kam se kam phone toh utha skta tha na tu?
Sid looked at his phone and cursed,18 missed calls.
Sid-I am sorry maa,ek second bas.
His mother waved at aayush to leave them.alone.
When it was just the two of them his mother said
"So back to the cycle"???
Sid-Nahi wo bas...ek rat thodi zyada hogyi.
Mom-Aha....so its true then???That girl did break up with you?She left you right?
Sidharth looked at her with hooded eyes and said
"Go ahead,say it.say you were right and i was wrong once again.
Say it come on"
What happened next was no less than a miracle.
She hugged him,instead of saying anything.
At first he wasn't responding but bache ko agar maa gale lga le toh bacha pighal hi jata hai.
Sidharth started crying with loud hiccups again as she rubbed his back.
He hugged her for the longest time and then she made him face her.
Mom-You always hated me because i refused to stop worrying about you.
Itna darti thi k shayad dekh nahi payi thi k main teri khushi nahi dhoondh paa rahi.
I know i never liked that girl but iska mtlb ye nahi hai k main tere liye dukhi nahi hun.
You are my only one beta,aisa ho skta hai tu dukhi ho aur mujhe pta na chale.
Aayush told me everything.
Sid-He did?
Mom-Yes,he did.
And now i want you to do what i am saying.
Sid-What is that???
Mom-Do you really love this girl?I mean do you still feel like she is the one???
He nodded.
Mom-Bas toh fir,saaf baat hai.You will.get her back.
Sid-How...how can i do that now??
Mom-You will get her mother back ofcourse,i am sure she would appreciate that.
Sid-But how mom?
Mom-Get dressed,supriya will be calling vikas anytime with information and you can use it for your benefit okay.
For sometime focus on getting her mother back instead of getting her back.
One step at a time.
And that gave sidharth a bit of a hope.
Maybe she is right.Maybe if he balances the act by bringing her mother back, she might love him for sure.
Let's see now where it leads them,all he knows right now is.
One way or another Rajat was going down.
.
.
.
Vikas and gang were downstairs having coffee and planning who will go and wake sana up.
K-Main ni jaa ri,wo kal se gusse mein hi hai.
Main kuch ajeeb bol dungi wo aur dukhi ho jayegi, aaj hum ye afford nahi kar skte.
Shriya-But kisi ko toh baat karni pdegi na sana se.
Rajat ko call toh wahi karegi na.
Vikas-Main jaun???
K-Tum?
Vikas-I mean,i am sure she won't be rude to me.
Shriya-Well i think this is right,she respects you a lot. You go ahead and then we can come if you need us.
Vikas stepped up and went to wake sana up,or talk to her.
Whatever happens first.
As he knocked on the door,he was shocked.
Sana was all dressed and looked good.
Wait?What?
She looked like everything is great with her life.
Why?
Vikas-Hey,wo we were waiting for you.
Sana*smiling*Ofcourse, ofcourse aa rahi hun.
She walked ahead of him and then vikas followed her.
She had a swag in her step,what the hell is wrong with her.
As she stepped in,kaaya and Shriya looked at each other.
What was going on?
Sana-Kya hua sit down guys,have breakfast.
K-Are...are you okay???
Sana-Yes,i mean i am trying.
Shriya-Okay,so what is the plan?
Kuch socha hai,aayush will be coming to ask us what's the next step.
Sana-Yea,about that.
I need to talk to you guys about something.
All of them were all ears.
Sana-Rajat is going to call me around 8,so in a way agar usse phle mom ghar nahi aati hai,we will have to give him what he wants.
K-We can't do that bro.
He is a fucking murderer.
Vikas-Sana,uska pkda jaana bahut zaroori hai.
Sana-I agree which is why i think we need to do something else in order for him to be caught.
Vikas-Like?
Sana-Abhi wo nahi pta,lekin maa ki life toh risk pe nahi le skte.
Isliye i want a favour.
Vikas-What?
Sana-Jaise hi maa ka pta chalta hai,jaise hi..jab bhi.
Tell sidharth to grab rajat by the collar and inform police.
I don't care about reputation and all that crap.
Maa ke safe hote hi,you have to file a case.
Vikas-Han wo toh karenge hi.
Sana-Chahe kuch bhi ho.
K-Han .
Sana stood up and said the last time looking into their eyes
"Kuch bhi"!
All of them were feeling she was trying to say something but missed the message.
Sana-K,plz work as you do everyday and tell everyone i am not well.
I will post a singing video to stop the commotion and we will continue to work with aayush on the down low.
K-Aaa...what about sidharth?
Sana*sighing*Nothing, i don't want to see him.Not after last night.So vikas plz tell him to not come here or at hospital....main aayush se phone pe contact kar lungi and don't worry i have help on speed dial.
I will be fine.Bas akele rehna chahti hun sham tak.
K-Yea we understand.
Sana drank juice and without eating anything she stepped out with her car keys and drove alone to the hospital.
Shriya-I will go to the clinic and kaaya you work.
Vikas you should be with sidharth.
Vikas nodded and everyone went their own ways.
Aayush was calling sana.
Sana-Hello.
Aayush-Hello sana.
Sana-Han aayush...any updates?
Aayush-Vikas's mom is trying to find out where Bella has kept Sana's mother but so far no luck.
I mean they obviously don't trust her,isiliye usko kuch btaya bhi nahi hai.
Sana-Yea i figured as much,don't worry though. I am sure things will be fine by by the evening.
Aayush-I know you don't want me to say this right now but what if we have no other option but to let him go in order for you to get your mom back.
Sana-As much as i would like to say something regarding this,i think this should be sidharth's call.
Aayush-Oh we did talk to him about that.
Sana-And???
Aayush-He said he has already lost too much,he won't lose your mother as well.
So if won't be able to get your mom back,he wants to let him go.
Sana was stunned.
Sana-He is willing to let rajat go?But that was...he wanted...
Aayush-I know,i was shocked too.
What can i say,i guess he really learned his lesson about revenge.
He really loves you sana,i know what happened was wrong and unfortunate but he gave up the only thing he suffered for.
Sana*Choking back on tears*I..well we will talk in the evening agar vikas ki mom kuch pta lga pai toh.
Aayush-Well okay,we can...
She disconnected. Sana disconnected and cried.
Why is this so hard.Why does love have to be so hard.
Her heart was aching for him.
Sana has to stay strong though.She can't really do anything at this point, except well except trying to catch the man responsible.
She wiped her tears and said to herself
"I am doing this,i am doing this"
.
.
.
Everyone was under one roof right now.
Vikas's mother was about to call him.
She was about to tell them what they can or can't do right now.
Aayush looked at sidharth and said
"Sana refuses to come, she just texted me she will talk to rajat at night, and i can tell her if we do find her mother over the phone"
Sid-Its fine,she doesn't wanna be around me,its okay.
They all saw as vikas's mother called and he placed it in centre of the table with speaker on.
Vikas-Hello.
Mom-Han beta...Vikas...vikas are you listening?
Vikas-Yes.
Mom-I want to tell you i am so sorr...
Vikas*angry*No...this is not about that,just tell me what can we do to get sana's mom back and then we can talk about you and I.
His mother said the next words with as much gravity as she could gather.
Mom-You don't need to do anything.
Sid-What does she mean, is she....
He dare not say it.
She can't be dead.
Vikas-Is she okay?
Mom-Yes,in fact she will be there soon.
Vikas-What?How?Why?Rajat hasn't called sana yet has he?
Mom-No actually,he did asked for something in return from sana in exchange for letting his mother go.
Vikas-What?No...he needs someone as a hostage,wo ye kaise bargain kar skta hai???
K-Oh god,maybe the break up was his idea.
Everyone was looking at sidharth, who looked paler than ever.
Vikas-What...what was the deal???
Mom*stammering*Do you know where sana is????
Vikas-Yea at the hospital.
His mother mumbled.
"No she is not, check your phone"
They saw an image that destroyed their lives in matter of seconds.
It was sana but she was not alone,she was....she was with Rajat.
Sidharth punched the table so hard,the glass shattered everywhere.
Vikas*shouting*Bhai kya kar raha hai yar....shriya get the first aid.
The blood was spilling everywhere while sidharth was pacing back and forth pulling his hair.
Sid-I will kill him...i will kill him...i will kill that son of a bitch..he is dead.
Why?Why?Whyyyyy would she do that?Why the fuck would she do that.
They were trying to help sidharth but he wasn't in his senses.
He wanted sana back.
The stakes just broke the fucking roof.
Vikas-Hello,aap sure ho?
Mom-I am not lying to you ever again vikas,he did tell her k agar mom safe chahiye toh she should come willingly to him.
Vikas-But what is the point?Hostage toh koi bhi hota...why would he do this?Usko kya benefit....
K-I know why.
They turned around to where sidharth was gave him his phone.
He read a text from a number that said
"Now that i have something actually worth trading...let's talk business.
All your Turkey and Singapore factories on Bella's name and i want 5 crore cash or else...well i don't think i need to tell you what i can or can't do...here is a sample"
It was a voice note with Sana's screams and a picture of her bruised hand.
The last card was played,Rajat wanted money and that is what he played for.
Now it was sidharth's turn.He needs to find a way to save sana.
How far will you go for love????
.
.
.
My life right now is a mess, i have 3 close weddings.Chote bhai ke exams. College work and if this wasn't enough,3 people hospitalized.
I am in the worst mental health shape right now than I've been in a while.
So if someday i don't update just now,your girl has no energy left.
Shades of love i am hoping to update next after this chapter and if i post there i won't be posting here obviously.
So....i wanted to give you all the message, i am trying and i appreciate your understanding of my condition.
I love you guys❤🤗
