CHAPTER 20
Next morning...
Author's POV
"Alisha, please eat na? I have to give you the medicines too." Armaan had been convincing her to eat her breakfast since past one and a half hour and she being Alisha decided to not eat until he reveals her everything.
"Tell me about Neha or I'm not eating anything." She said stubbornly. Armaan tried diverting her mind but she didn't budge at all.
'It's been 8 months since we got married. I haven't moved on from Neha but now I've started believing that it was all because of destiny. Neha happened because of destiny, Neha ended because of destiny and Alisha happened because of destiny.' Thought Armaan.
"Tell na." Alisha requested.
"Okay fine. But you start eating I'll tell you everything while you eat." He ordered her.
"Okay." She grinned.
"Neha, she was my junior in college. We met during the college fest. We became friends after that. We used to go home together everyday. I used to drop her at her home and then come home. her home is just a few kilometers away from here. I'll take you there someday. You know what Alisha, even though she is no more, that place still has her fragrance. That place reminds me of her. She had this weird habit of eating tomato ketchup with everything. After her graduation, she proposed me on my birthday. Since the feelings were mutual, we decided to talk to our parents." Armaan paused for a while and smiled sadly. He couldn't continue because he felt too emotional and this was the fist time he was talking about Neha so openly to someone he thought he hated. He didn't want to continue but for once his heart wanted to be relieved of the pain that it was going through since past one and a half year. So he continued.
"Our parents readily agreed, we decided to get married after a year but our destiny had decided against it. A week after that, I had asked Neha to meet me at a café, we met there and then it was midnight when she left. It was 12:45 when she left and then uncle called me at 3:00 in the night that she hadn't reached home yet, I tried calling her but she didn't pick up. So I went to search her on her daily way back home we couldn't find her way back home and then Shanaya called me and said that she found Neha's car cras."Armaan couldn't speak anymore and sobbed Alisha rubbed his back and asked him to stop it if he wasn't okay with it. But he decided to continue. He knew his heart wasn't strong enough to hold this pain anymore. He wanted to get rid of it. Because somewhere in his heart he blamed himself for all of it and then when he wanted to get rid of it, at that same moment his investigator told him that Alisha was the reason for this accident. Now. when he knew Alisha was a pure soul and wouldn't hurt anyone purposely, he decided to free her too. Because the pain that he gave her caused him more pain than it did to her.
"her car crashed. We reached there and found that Neha was dead and according to my investigator, your car was there too. So I decided to..." He couldn't complete it and started sobbing. Alisha hugged him and rubbed his back.
"I'm sorry." She honestly told while rubbing his back
"Not your fault. All because of destiny can't blame you for it. Instead, I'm sorry for the revenge thing." He said and smiled sadly while giving her medicines and asked her to rest. She laid on her side of the bed and let Armaan have some space for himself. Armaan went in the balcony and sat on the swing recalling the times he spent with his love while Alisha slept due to the medicines effect.
