Listen To My Stupid Heart ♡

44. Finding The Truth

Arini's pov

" Breakup bolne se hi breakup thodi hota... It's a mutual decision... Peeche nhi chodungi tumhara dekhna " I scolded him looking at his picture. He was giving a toothy grin in the photo which made me even more angry. I threw that away and hugged my pillow tightly.

( if one says break up, it doesn't mean we are breaking up. It's a mutual decision. I'll not leave him)

I used to think Shrey is a mature guy & I'm the immature, childish one, stupid one. But he is more stupid than me. Is that even a reason to do breakup?

Why will I need money if he is with me? I don't care about the world because when he's with me, he becomes my world... Why will I need anything else when he's there.

But what if something is wrong deeply. Just right after uncle's health, he got those cuts, marks which weren't fading away, instead increasing day by day. And it hurt me more when I saw him last night.

I saw him going out & we looked at each other. He too didn't change his gaze.

" And he says we need to be apart! Ganda "

( bad)

I could see pain in his eyes. I might be stupid, little duffer but I can never fail to understand his sadness. We didn't share a word, but his eyes were enough to tell me how lonely he was. Isn't it his fault too? He is pushing everyone away. Even those, who don't want to go.

I didn't try to talk to him too. I wasn't angry but a little bit hurt. I can't afford to be angry now. I know he's not okay, something is wrong & I need to stay with him. No matter what he say, how much he tries to push me.

Somehow I was promising myself that I'll find out the reason of those marks.

and suddenly I saw kalpana entering in the room. But she wasn't alone, Madhav & Ankit came too.

I wiped my face suddenly as I didn't want them to know that i was crying.
" They came to see you " Kalpana whispered lowly & I nodded with a weak smile. Maybe everyone knows that shrey talked about breakup.

" We know what happened between you two" One of them suddenly spoke making my heartbeat a little wild. I automatically looked down.

" But don't worry... He is behaving like this because something is wrong. " Ankit added.

Somehow all of us were guessing the same thing.

" He is working somewhere.. I know he needs money now " Ankit said suddenly gaining my attention.

" Where? " I asked in a heartbeat. " I saw... so many bad marks on him.. "

I saw them nodding silently.

" Is it something illegal? Those scars are increasing everyday only " Asked Kalpana.

" We don't know that. But we need to find out. "

My heart felt a little bit hope now. As if God, himself opened a way for me to find out the actual problem. " Let's follow him then. Let's see where he is going, what he is doing. Okay? " I tried to say, hopping that everybody will agree.

" Haan ese beithe rehne se kuch nhi hoga. Kuch karna padega... Tum dono abhi jao, nazar rakho Shrey kab ghar se nikal rha.. Hum sab jayenge fir " Kalpana stated and we all nodded. There was no chance of denying anymore.

( yes. We can't do anything by sitting here silently. We have to do something. You two go now and keep an eye on him, see when Shrey is going out then we all will follow him)

Next day..
Writer's pov

" Madhav I'm going out... Lock the door properly. " Shrey shouted while tying his shoe lace. Madhav suddenly ran to him and asked without hesitating " Where are you going? "

" W.. Work " Shrey stuttered. He could not afford to wait there for a minute as he knew there might be some more questions waiting for him which he didn't want to answer.

Madhav couldn't do anything but saw him going out, more like running away from him & his questions. The same routine was being repeated everyday. But today that boy had some different plans.

Taking out his phone from his pocket he dialed Arini's number " He just got out. Maybe now in the downstairs. Are you ready? "

Nobody waited for a minute after that. All of them came out of their rooms in hurry and tiptoed towards the downstairs.

Arini's heart ached looking at his swollen wounds. They increased more. He didn't look fine at all, it seemed like there's no life left for him anymore.

All sudden Shrey called an auto and got up there. They all did the same too. They asked their auto to follow that one auto in front. The ride was getting long & roads felt like unknown to them.

" Why is nobody here on these roads? " Kalpana asked suddenly gaining attention from everyone. All of them seemed to be out of clue. It was now even more than 30 minutes & they were still following.

The more time was passing, the more tension was eating them. Soon his auto stopped near an abandoned building. Shrey got down and entered inside.

All of them started getting down too. Before he could disappear totally, his friends ran after him without thinking much but one security stopped them.

" Wait kids you can't go in..it's not safe"

Arini's heart felt tightness hearing that 'not safe' word from his mouth.

" Sir.. We know him.. He is our friend. Please let us go " Ankit said but that guard shook his head. " We have some rules to maintain. "

They all looked at each other being helpless. They came this far & now needed to go back without getting any information.

" But if you really want to go " The guard started again , looking everywhere he came closer to them and murmured " You have to give something "

" What? " Asked Arini.

" Money "

" Ok how much? " Without thinking she asked and took out her phone. " Your qr code? "

" 10,000 will work right? " She asked again and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right arm.

" Pagal ha tu.. 500 mein bhi kaam kar denge " She whispered to her innocent best friend. She listened to her and paid some amount to the guard.

( are you mad? He will do it in 10 , 000 )

That place was so busy. Everyone seemed to be so busy there, there were so many cameras, lights, bikes . Some were fixing cameras, some behind the lights. But shrey wasn't visible anywhere.

Suddenly someone shouted " Where is our stuntman? "

" He is changing " Someone replied.
