Chapter 56. You let me down

( 🚨 Really long chapter ahead 🚨 )

"Ved Rajput!"

On hearing my voice, everyone snapped their heads in my direction as I approached him.

This jerk was the root of my every problem.

I strode as anger radiated off of me and once I reached him, I banged my fists on the desk. I bent a little forward and stared directly in his eyes.

"How can you do this? Isn't Shree your friend? Why are you helping that witch? Tell me, Ved Rajput. Why are you favouring her?" I seethed as I tried to intimidate him.

I pointed a finger at him as I felt my body heat up with rage. I waited for him to reply but his lips were sealed. There were no emotions on his face and he didn't even quirk an eyebrow in question.

"Cat your tongue? Speak up, you idiot. I am asking you something. You helped her in deleting all the evidences, didn't you? You know everything, right?" I accused and narrowed my eyes at him. "How can you do this to your friend? Answer me!"

"What the hell are you doing, Sandhya? Get away from him," Tanya intervened.

"No, Tanya. Not this time. You always protect him. You don't know what he did. He destroyed everything I had collected against Mahek. He is helping her."

"Shut up! You think you can come here and say whatever you want?" Nikhil yelled in Ved's defence.

"Guys, listen to me-"

"No. We know what you just did, okay? The whole video of you trying to break up Shree and Mahek has gone viral and you are calling Ved names?"

"Why would you do that, Sandhya?" Divya asked.

What the fuck? Why are they interrogating me?

I glowered at Ved who was just sitting there and staring at me like a statue. He was wearing an olive green t-shirt, paired with a black hoodie and three-fourths; looking like those models on the front page of magazines.

He looked like he was in meditation with his hands on his thighs. He wasn't smirking or laughing but I knew he was taking pleasure in my misery.

When I began to accuse him again, Tanya stopped me and looked at me with pure resentment in her eyes. She fixed me with her burning gaze and stepped towards me.

"Stop blaming him. You can't accuse him everytime for your own mistakes," she scolded.

"She is right. Do you think we will keep quiet when your are openly bullying Ved?" Nikhil added.

"Didn't I already tell you to not fool around and stay away from Mahek's matter?" Surbhi's voice was laced with accusation as she came and faced me.

Parth also arrived and his face was crestfallen. He must have gotten a shock after watching that video because he was unaware of the fact that I didn't like Mahek and I was spying on her too.

"Still you didn't listen to me and continued with your antics," Surbhi said.

"It is not like that. Please, Surbhi. Believe me. I am not lying," I pleaded. I didn't want her to think that I broke her trust.

"I thought we were friends. We warned you for your own sake but you took our words lightly and treated us like nothing. Moreover, you went ahead and blamed Mahek for something so low. Have some shame, Sandhya," Tanya retorted.

"Trust me, guys. I had the evidences. She deleted them and the one who helped her was Ved. I met her at his cafe yesterday but he arrived there and ruined my plan," I defended.
