Chapter 18

A R S H

I received the call. "Yes Boby?". "Sir! Mr. Ivan fixed your marriage with Sana madam!" "WHAT???????" Did I hear something wrong?

Like wtf? I know Mr. Ivan was brainless from the beginning but today he made sure of himself. I get up from my seat and run out because I need to put some sense into Mr. Ivan's mind.

I reached my car's direction and that time I saw Nira. She was confused about seeing me here and about to ask something but before that I already said "Nira get on the car!" She obeyed me with a confused face.

I started to drive to The Ivan House, "Sir where are we going?" she asked curiously. "To the Ivan House!" I replied without moving my gaze from the road. She nodded "Anyways Sir, I want to tell you something!" Hearing her serious voice, finally I looked at her and my eyes met with her nervous eyes.

"Nira tell me everything you want and I'll listen to all but not now! Something is wrong now!" saying I increase my speed.

The Ivan House

I entered inside while controlling my anger and guess what, wow the whole joker family is here. Now I am sure that all of them are planning some shit together. I heard Nira's phone ring and she hurriedly picked it up.

"Oh Arsh you came!" Mr. Ivan said. I scoffed "Mr. Ivan you have so much money then why don't you treat your mental brain first!" Everyone gasped. "Arsh! I know why you are mad but listen to me first son! It will be for your own good" he again said.

"Oh my god! For my good? Since when have you started caring about my good?" I acted surprised. "Arsh stop it! Listen uncle first!" Sana spoke out of nowhere while putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Remove the hand! I SAID REMOVE THE HAND!" I shouted and she removed her hand from my shoulder. "Did I talk with you? No right, then why are you talking to me?" I said to Sana which made her shut up.

"Arsh, calm down! Hear me first, you know very well that the Royal Industry is ranking number 1 recently which is not good for the Ivan industry so if you and Sana marry each other then it will make the whole market shocked! At the same time, nobody can also buy our shares. It will be only us. And our plus point is after you two get married, all the famous brands will want to collaborate with you both and then see how the Ivan industry will be all over the world" Mr. Ivan finished.

I laughed, I laughed hard. All of them looked at me with confusion. "Oh my god haha Mr. Ivan, you are so funny! For this cheap shit you are literally fixing my marriage even with my cousin! And who the hell are you to fix my marriage? I don't count you as my father, do you forget that?" I asked in my sharp voice.

"Oh common Arsh, you guys don't even act like cousins so I don't see any problem with marrying each other!" Mr. Ivan said normally. He is literally testing my patience.

He is repeating the same mistake he did in the past. Just always love his money, nothing else. For his worst decision I lost my mom and now he is trying to make my life hell too.

"Mr. Ivan, don't make me do something which will make the Ivan industry bankrupt!" I warned him which shocked everyone. "I mean it! Like seriously why would I listen to liars and betrayers like all of you? I hate you all, so please keep that in your mind!" I threaten all of them with my scary gaze.

"Oh really Arsh? Fine Uncle Ivan's lie was really big and all of us also lied to you about a few important things but what about someone who is lying about their whole identity?" Sana said with a grin on her face.

I squeezed my eyes due to confusion, I looked at her. What is she trying to say? "Am I right Miss Nira?" Sana again said while looking at Nira. I can see the shock in Nira's eyes. W-What's going on? I don't know but suddenly my heart started beating so fast.

"So Arsh what if I say that your so-called secretary Nira is someone else!" Sana smirked. "What do you mean Sana?" I gritted my teeth. She holds Nira's wrist and harshly rolls her shirt's sleeve.

Not only me, others are also gasping in shock because Nira's hand's skin tone is darker but her arm's skin tone is white wtf? "See the difference? Miss Nira is actually someone else!" Sana keeps throwing her booms and Nira is very nervous and doesn't say anything.

My mind isn't working. What the hell is happening? "I know Nira, you must be thinking how I got to know this. Ahh let me tell you, that day aka before our perfumes launching ceremony, Arsh told the staff to clean the whole Ivan industry and remember accidentally some water fell on your arm".

"You went to whip it off and that time I saw the difference of your skin tone. Though I also don't know who you are, it will be fun to know now!" Sana said and pulled Nira's hair and behind her massive curly hair there is long brown straight hair.

But this hair seems so familiar. And about me I lost my words to speak. Time passed and Nira became more nervous. Sana went to the dining table and brought a glass of water.

She came back and threw the glass of water on Nira's face. "Sana what is the behaviour?" I shouted. "Oops Arsh wait nah! Whip your face Miss. Nira!" Sana said while giving her a white cloth.

"I said whip your face!" Sana spoke again. Nira took the cloth hesitantly and started whipping her face. But why tf my heart beating so fast? I looked away from Nira and I don't know why.

Suddenly everyone gasped so hard even I could hear Sana's gasp too. I again looked at Nira and.........my phone dropped from my hand or I say my heart also dropped at the same time.

"K-Kia?" I mumbled. I can't believe my eyes. It's her! It's really her! So that means Nira and Kia were the same person! "Arsh?" she called me about to come near me but before that I looked away.

"Get out!" I can sense she can't believe my words. She didn't expect this. "Arsh listen to me once-" "I SAID GET OUT MISS KIA MARSHALL!" I shouted at her which made her flinch and I again looked away.

"Guards, where are you? Take her away!" I ordered. My heart aches like I am ripping off my own skin. "What? Arsh no listen to once! Please Arsh listen to me! ARSH!" she begs, she begs hard but guards already took her away.

K I A

"Arsh, please listen to me! Ahh let me go! ARSH!" I screamed his name but the guards already closed the gate. "Open this! Please open this!" I harshly hit the gate with my hands.

Tears are coming out from my eyes like there is no tomorrow and at the same time I feel like the most unlucky human in this world. When finally I found that person who taught me what love is, and that person also pushed me away.

I wish I could tell him the truth before him knowing from others. I wish! I cry harder. "Please open the gate! Arsh needs me please!" I begged helplessly. "Kia?" hearing the familiar voice, I turned around "Naina?"

She tightly hugged me without asking anything but I was confused how she knew about everything. "H-how you?" I asked. "Remember I called you but you didn't cut the call. That's how I heard everything and ran to you!"

"Kia, let's go home," she insisted. "What? Home? No Naina, my home is here. My home is Arsh. Naina please tell them to open the gate, Arsh needs me! He must be crying like crazy, he thinks I also betrayed him but you know I didn't. My Arsh can't handle this pain alone. Please, he needs me! He needs to hear the truth!" I shouted like crazy.

"Kia calm down my superstar, it's not the right time. First let the situation be normal!" saying she forcefully took me with her.

★★★

"Naina why did you bring me home! Didn't I tell you Arsh needs me! Please take me to him somehow" I broke down. "I am feeling his pain and he doesn't deserve this pain. I can't see him suffering so that's why I need to tell him the truth! WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND NAINA!" I shouted.

"Please I beg you, I beg you to take me to him! Please do something Naina!" I see her helpless gaze. Without talking I can hear her saying that right now nothing is on her hand. She is also helpless like me.

Suddenly I feel like everything is fading away. I am feeling dizzy. I can't see anything clearly. The last thing I heard was calling my name loudly and felt a sharp pain in my head before everything turned black.

A R S H

I furiously came into my bedroom, harshly locking the door. I sat on my bed while covering my face with both hands. What just happened? Did just my biggest nightmare come true?

Tears keep brimming from my eyes, my head hurts, my throat gets dry. I am feeling sick. Even taking a breath is also hurting me right now.

I keep hearing the sound of my heart breaking. Even the breaking pieces are also breaking in small pieces. It feels like I used to have a heart and now I don't have a heart anymore.

Why does this whole world hate me so much? Why fucking why? Everyone just comes, lies and then walks away. Why is it just me? Fine god you take my mom, you take my grandmother too but now the only person in this world I love the most, you took her too!

She was also a betrayer and a liar like others? She also played with my feelings and emotions like others? Why god why?

I try to whip my tears but they aren't stopping. She has been playing with me for the past 6 months? And now every symptom is matching with another. Now everything is clear: why does Nira always leave when Kia has to come?

The thing is I thought everything was a coincidence but no not all. Everything was planned by her. So does it mean her love, her care, her understanding everything was fake? Why did she do that? Why?

I furiously got up from my bed and started throwing off my things. "Why Kia why? Why did you lie to me? I HATE YOU KIA MARSHALL! I HATE YOU!" I scream and throw her photo frame on the floor. I sat on my knees and cried loudly to release the pain.

Next morning

My eyes are hurting so bad, I can't even look properly. I somehow managed to get up on my feet and came to my mom's grave because at this moment only she will listen to me.

I looked at mom's grave which made me cry again. "M-Mom! H-How a-are y-you? M-Mom I m-miss y-you!" I keep crying while shuttering. My tears are out of my control now, they keep just brimming from my eyes.

I continued myself while looking at my mom's grave "Mom fine you left this world but why didn't you take me with you? I don't want to live in this cruel world alone. Even grandma left me too!"

"Why is it always me, mom? Why does no one care about my love? Why did the people I love always leave me? Why mom why?" I tighten my handgrip. "She also lied to me like others, mom. She also played with my feelings. My heart is burning to pain. I can't handle it anymore".

M-Mom I swear I am trying hard not to cry but those tears aren't listening to me! This feeling is killing me hard. I don't feel like living, mom. I don't feel like living. Just take me with you mom, please take me with you!" I covered my face with my bare hands while crying loudly.

It hurts so bad. My eyes, my heart, my body everything is hurting. It feels like I also can't even breathe properly. Something got stuck in my throat....

_______

After opening up with my mom, I started to feel kinda better but still the worst. The whole world seems cruel to me. This world is full of liars, betrayers and players. There is no place for love in this world. No place for love!

I entered The Ivan House looking like a dead human. "Poppyyyy!" Ren jumped on me. I kneeled down & took him in my arms while standing up on my feet. "When did you come back Ren?" I asked.

"An hour ago when you were out of the house" he replied. "Did you have fun on your school camping trip?" he nodded happily. "But Popy what's wrong with your face? Are you sick?" he asked in concern.

"Hmm kinda!" I lied. As I should because he is too little to understand the situation. "Anyways Popy do you know that Kia's fan meeting got cancelled as she is admitted to the hospital!" he said.

"What?" furrows touch my forehead. Hospital? What is she doing there? Is she alright? I know what she did to me but I loved her or I say I still love her but in the hospital.....

I put Ren down "Ren, Popy needs to go somewhere" saying I left the Ivan House again.......
