Chapter 1: Blue eyes

Kuch Rishton Ka Namak Hi Doori Hota Hain

Na Milna Bhi Bahut Zaroori Hota Hain

Tanishka’s pov

“Tanu chal mein gadi nikalri hu” Harshi yelled, quickly setting up my jhumka, lifting up my ghagra I moved out.I wore red chikankari ghagra as in our dress code.

Harshi Sharma, my twin just by a minute, strong, a woman of her words, with great analytical skills, communication and integrity. Top most criminal lawyer who stands right against Manav, Manav Khanna. She fought a lot of herself just to get this position.

Today Kanika's engagement is more to be prescribed ‘forced engagement’. I came back to India 10 days ago and it's a mess, Kanika and Ansh being media gossip about their wedding getting fixed. It was all crap.

I don’t know but there is this thing nagging me, as if something is gonna happen. Pushing away my thoughts I sat in the car.

“Kabhi time par mat aayi yo tu toh” Harshi said, starting the car. It was a long drive as I was at Harshi’s penthouse tagged along with Manav which was at the outskirts. Yaa you heard me right, Manav as in Manav Khanna.

Manav’s mom and our mom were best friends since their schooling. Manav’s dad is a reputed top lawyer in Delhi. After his retirement Manav took along his post and firm as a criminal lawyer. Ritesh uncle, Manav’s dad named the building on Harshi’s and Manav’s name as a small gift after they were in top 5 criminal lawyers.

Woh alag baat hai ye dono ki banti nahi hai, Harshi and Manav are those two poles which never meet and if they meet phir ho gaya satyanash. Toofan, andhi, sab aayega par ye logo ki ladai band nahi hogi.

“Unless I am tty here” I scoffed.

“Stay at my place”

“I have no option either.”

Staying at Harshi’s place is only the last option. Why? My dad. If he finds out I am in India and moreover in Delhi he is gonna slit my throat.Long story short, after I left Delhi 2 years back, my dad broke all ties with me.

“ Chale,” Harshi said, moving out.

I will tell you details later now, now let's enjoy our bitch’s engagement.

After meeting my girl we brought our bride down, after she met everyone Kanika went on stage along with Ansh. As the ceremony proceeds, they put on rings and the audience applauds. Roaming around clicking pic we made our way to our bride.

As we made our way we watched Ansh leaning down near Kanika’s ear and whispered something making her go all red.What the fuck! But the next thing Kanika did was best comeback, we laughed moving near them.

“ Yaar Harshi kuch khane ko lade na” Kanika said with those puppy eyes. This bride and her tantrums are just..uff!

All the best Ansh that’s all I could say. Harshi moved towards the food court, the aroma of indian,italine and many more cuisine hit my nose and now even I am hungry as fuck.

Ansh was talking to his brother, I guess he is Dev.I felt someone pulling the sleeve of my ghagra.I turned around to look at Jiya, calling me.

“ Kya hua?” I whispered.

“ Meri pics le na” uff ye ladki na.

Before we went Harshi and Manav came with food, basically sweets.Manva here? But why is it here? They both simultaneously placed rasmalai and ice cream in front of her.

"Ye li jiye bhabhi sa " Manav said. Kanika looked at them both and we all chuckled.

Ansh cleared his throat clearing the matter,but his next words stuck air in my throat,

" Kanika meet them, this is Manav Khanna , Siddarth Rajvanshi and Mayank Randhawa. They are my childhood friends and my best friends.

Wait, did I hear it right? Siddarth Rajvanshi?

No! Please.

No!

I lift my gaze only to be stuck at a pair of blue eyes, looking into me. Breath! Breath! I chanted within but breath was nowhere. Jiya soothed my back immediately, we remained in eye contact.

No! No! This can't be true.

He died ! No this isn’t true!!

I..killed..him!!

Our moment was interrupted by Mayank.

“ Don’t come behind me” I said, leaving towards nowhere.

I need to breathe, I can’t! This isn’t true! He died!! I killed him. No!!!!!

I moved towards the terrace. Holding the terrace, I screamed,

“ No!!! This isn’t true!! He died that night!!” I feel unconscious and my panic attacks are back!!

Before I shut my eyes completely, I heard his voice,

“Its true sweetheart, I am back because your true love won that night against my fake love”

And It was all dark……
