Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Parth got in front of Naira and spoke up, "Ira, please listen to me for once. I didn't"

Naira spoke up all sternly, "You didn't what, Parth? Haan, what? I know, Ehan wasn't lying. You promised me, Parth but still you"

Parth spoke up keeping his head down, "You tell me what would I have done? Stella is leaving this country. I love her, Naira. I couldn't help trying for the last time."

Seeing his condition, Naira's anger melted and she got uttering sadly, "It wasn't your fault, Parth. It was her decision to leave you. She doesn't deserve your love. Be strong and move on. I am with you, Parth the way you were there supporting me when I was all broken. Don't let her hurt you again."

Parth spoke up smiling a little at her, "This time I will Naira. I just didn't want to regret thinking maybe she would have changed only if I had tried a little more. I gave my all but still, she left me. So I will move on now."

Naira also smiled at him and spoke up, "That's like my friend."

Parth spoke up again, “Okay now. Let's go. It has been long I didn't visit uncle and aunt.”

Naira also spoke up, “That’s true. Let's go.”

They happily left from there and forwarded towards Naira's place.

In Akash's Cabin

When Ehan was about to leave Akash spoke up, “Why are you doing this, Ehan? You are no longer in that dare. You already won it, remember?

Why are you caring for Naira now? The Ehan Sinha I knew never cared for a girl.”

Ehan turned to Akash but didn't utter anything like he didn't get to figure out what to answer.

Akash spoke up again, “Ehan, some wounds are better left untouched. Don't keep doing this please.”

Without uttering anything, Ehan left from there. When he forwarded towards his car, he saw Naira happily hopping in the car with Parth and going away.

He kept staring at me the receding figure of the car until it got out of his sight.

Then he hopped in his car and drove away towards his place. The only thing he wasn't being able to digest that Parth was still with Naira who was cheating on her.

How could Naira still believe in him!

Akash who was his best friend didn't believe him.

This was getting on his nerves. Some moments kept flashing in his mind. At some point, he stopped the car with a jerk.

One thing got set in his mind. The cheat, that guy Parth can't be with Naira.

He would make sure of that at any cost.

The Next Day

Ehan thought of visiting Akash's place to talk to his parents though he exactly didn't know what he was going to talk about.

But one thing he wanted to know how Naira ended up there.

Arriving there, he got out of his car and forwarded to the entrance.

As it was office time, he didn't expect Naira and Akash to be at home. But to his surprise, Akash wasn't there but Naira.

She all busy decorating the hall room with some event arranger people. To his irritation, Parth was also there helping them.

Akash's Dad was in the living room. When he caught the sight of Ehan, he uttered all smilingly, “Ehan! Come, son. Long time no see. How are you dear?”

Hearing the name, Naira turned to her Dad and then followed his gaze only to find Ehan standing there.

Getting all confused, she also got near them and got uttering, “What are you doing here?”

Zohan got uttering, “Sweetie, you know Ehan?”

They got glancing at each other and then before Ehan could say something, Naira got uttering, “He is one of our client, Dad”

Zohan again spoke up, “Client? Oh, yeah. Ehan, you are handling the Sinha industry now, right?”

Ehan got near him as he got uttering, “Yes, uncle. Long time no see. How are you?”

Before Zohan could say something, Parth’s words got into their hearing, “Ira, baby I need your help here.”

Naira got uttering, “Coming.”

Then glaring at Ehan for the last time, Naira left from there.

Zohan uttered with a little bit of smile, “Feeling better than before, son. Tell me about yourself.”

Pointing at Naira, Ehan spoke up, “Uncle, who is Naira?”

Zohan got uttering all normally, “She is my daughter.”

Ehan gave him a questioning look as he got uttering, “Daughter? But uncle..”

Zohan turned to Naira for once and then spoke up, “He was my friend's daughter, son. Her parents died 3 years ago in an accident. From then she has been with us.”

Now, the matter got cleared to Ehan why Naira got sad in the mention of college transfer. This was the reason then behind her college shifting.

With this, another thought popped into his mind getting him more guilty.

He played with her emotions when she already was mentally badly disturbed.

Zohan interrupted his thoughts as he got uttering, “Ehan, where are you lost?”

A word automatically got out of his throat, “Hmm?” only to get Zohan giving him a confused look.

Zohan spoke up again, “Anyways, are you here for Akash's birthday party?”

Ehan remembered the date and understood the reason behind that decoration.

Before he could utter something, Akash was at the door. Seeing the decorations, he got uttering angrily, “What is happening here?”

Hearing the angry voice, everyone turned to him. Without bothering to look elsewhere, he forwarded towards Naira and got uttering, “What's this, Ira? You told me you weren't feeling well and didn't go to the office. And here what are you doing?”

Getting somewhat startled at the sudden angry outburst, she got silent for a moment and then spoke up, “Brother, weren't you supposed to have a meeting now?”

He answered with the same tone, “I cancelled that.”

“Why?” hearing Naira, he got uttering, “I was worried about you. Why didn't you answer your phone?”

Zohan spoke up then, “Ira, I told you it wasn't a good idea to use that excuse.”

Understanding Zohan’s involvement in the plan, he got uttering in irritation, “Dad, you too!” and turned to him only to get stopped seeing Ehan sitting there with him.

He got afraid.

What if Ehan ended up telling about that dare to his family altogether!

He wondered.

He got near Ehan as he spoke up in lower a tone, “What are you doing here?”

Ehan got uttering, “What else! I have come to attend your birthday party.”

Hearing him, Akash’s eyes widened. He turned to Naira for once only to find her giving them a questioning look and then again spoke up turning to Ehan, “I want to talk to you. Come with me.”

Without bothering others' confused look, Akash forwarded to the entrance of the mansion. Ehan followed him after uttering, “Uncle, I will be back.” and glancing to Naira for once.

As they got out of the mansion, Zohan got uttering, “What’s the matter with these two!” in confusion.

Parth got near him as he spoke up, “Have they known each other from earlier?"

Jiana got there then and hearing the question, she got uttering, “Who are you talking about?”

Zohan spoke up still looking at the entrance, “Akash and Ehan. Yeah, they knew. In fact, they were best friends.”

Shocked would be an understatement for Naira.

Outside of the Mansion

Akash got uttering, “What are you doing, Ehan? I told you to stay away from Naira. She will leave, Ehan once she gets to know that though she had none in this world to go without us. Do you want it that badly?”

Ehan spoke up then, “Don’t worry. That will remain a secret within me but I can't bear to see that cheat with Naira. I told you that he is two two-timing two are not believing me at all leaving me with no options other than coming here.”

Glaring at Ehan, Akash spoke up, “Parth is not Naira's boyfriend but just friend. The girl, you saw Parth with had to be his girlfriend who cheat on him and left. But Parth still love loves her.”

Hearing him, Ehan got shocked and muttered to himself, “Then why did she lie to me!”

Akash stated that the truth, “Because she still loves you. Seeing you around reminds her past time and hurts her. She is still trying to get over you. Don't make it difficult for her, Ehan. Please.” getting Ehan all shocked.
