Why?

"To be honest, I am not sad because of the beating that I recieved today. I am sad because...the friend I trusted the most...betrayed me brutally. I...I didn't expect this from him." Said Disha.

"Disha, in my 40 years of life, I have never thought of marrying someone other than my first love. So..I perfectly know the meaning of falling love. It seems like you're in love with him." Said the caretaker.

"Uh...Miss Lily...I am not in love with him. You're misunderstanding me." Said Disha. "Disha, if you don't love him and if he's not your first love. Then why are you still supporting him, even after what he has done? You know how much your mom hit you today, don't you? Did you like the beating?" Asked Lily while applying the medicine on Disha's wounds.

"I...maybe I am in love with him. But how does it matter now? I'll never be able to see him again anyways. What's the point?" Asked Disha. "Dear, you never now what your destiny is. So don't judge too quickly." Said Lily.

"Destiny? Why are you talking like an old woman right now? And when it comes to Digraj, he...I just want to know, the reason, why he did this. The reason for him lying, infront of everyone." Said Disha.

"Well, I am unfortunately, a old woman. And when it comes to destiny, it can be written by God or by yourself. It's your choice if you want to let God decide or decide your destiny by yourself." Said Lily.

"Whatever destiny is, it doesn't matter now. I am already done with that school, I'll have to go abroad tomorrow anyways.....I'll sleep. Good night, Lily." Said Disha while she slept in Lily's lap. "Why are they doing this to such a poor child like her. Hah, she doesn't deserve to be treated like this! I would have adopted Disha, if I was financially stronger. But apparently, faith isn't by her side. Maybe, staying with hunters will make the prey stronger? I hope it does, or else she'll be soon hunted down by her own parents." Murmured Lily to herself, while looking at Disha's wounds.

Disha woke up the next day, packed her bags and went to the the airport. Her parents didn't want anyone to see them, so they left early. Digraj on the other hand, was on his way to school when he saw Disha with her parents. She sat in the passenger seat of the car, and the car went off to the airport. Digraj ran behind the car, but unfortunately, the driver didn't stop the car and kept driving, which resulted in Digraj, missing the last chance of conversing with Disha.

"So, are you ready for the interview? I mean, did you study yesterday? And how are your wounds?" Asked Abhishek. "It...it's fine, I am fine now. And when it comes to the interview, I have reviewed everything. So, you don't need to worry about the test, dad." Said Disha in a low voice.

They reached the airport after a few minutes, took their flight to abroad and left India. Digraj on the other hand, was in the classroom, worrying about Disha's well being. "Dude, what did you say in the principal office, yesterday?" Asked Ayan. "I...I said that it was Disha's fault and that Tina was innocent." Said Digraj. "What!?! Yo...said what?! Di...did her mother also come?" Asked Ayan, worriedly.

"Uh, yes the principal did call her mother into the office." Answered Digraj, curiously. "Yo...are mad! Do you even know what you did!? Sh...we'll never get the chance to see her again. He...her parents are one of the richest people in India. Th...they have a prestigious business too. They hate getting taunted or disrespected by anyone. And now...since...the principal...called her in the office and disrespected her...she must have taken Disha somewhere else for her further studies." Said Ayan. He was so sad and stressed, that he couldn't even speak properly.

"What? I...I swear...I never knew that her parents were this strict. She...I am sorry...if I had know about this earlier..I would have told them the truth." Said Digraj. "Why didn't you tell them the truth anyways? What was your reason, huh? Were you jealous of her? Or were you just angry that she didn't like you?" Asked Ayan, irritatingly.

"Actually, Aman told me something." Said Digraj. "Oh and what did he tell you?" Asked Ayan. Digraj told him the whole story. "What!? Yo...you believed that asshole? Ho...how could you believe something stupid? You really that he's capable of doing that? Hah! I can't believe you! You should have asked me instead! Why the hell did you take this decision alone!? Disha...she must have gone to abroad already. I..we'll not be able to see her again." Said Ayan.

"But, I saw her going somewhere with her parents today. I...maybe she's on a vacation?" Said Digraj. "Vacation? Do you think that her parents would take her on a vacation when the principal herself called her mother? Are you dumb?" Replied Ayan.

"So....this is the end? I...never get to see her again? I mean....I....what if I just called her mother and tell her the truth? I...I'll apologise for my mistakes." Said Digraj in a low voice. "Everything's ruined now. You can't do anything now. Just let it be. If you call her mother, she'll probably sue you just because you falsely accused Disha of doing something she didn't. So...it's better to not do anything now..let's....just be with eachother. We don't have a choice anyways. Or maybe that's what destiny wants." Said Ayan.

The class started, Ayan was sad but he didn't have a choice either. He couldn't help but let Disha go. Digraj on the other hand, was grief stricken. He couldn't forgive himself for what he did, as he started remembering. the last hug between him and Disha.

"Why? Why is this happening with me? All my life, I never had a single friend. And when I got some friends, I...I ruined them. Completely destroyed them. I don't know how Disha managed to forgive me." Murmured Digraj to himself. Digraj was regretting this mistake more than anything. He was feeling bad for Disha but couldn't do anything for her. It was a tangy and spicy feeling. Was it love? No. It was the feeling of betraying your beloved person, unintentionally. Did he mean it? No. He just wanted to help her...but ended up giving her bruises instead.
