Aditya's POV

I'm miserable. I never thought I would live to see a day where I would feel so hopeless and helpless in my life. My life. My Noor. I don't even know if I still get to call her mine. I won't be surprised if she threw divorce papers at my face, afterall, what I did was indeed shameful. What I am doing right now, even more.

I have been laying idly on my bed ever since Noor left for Arjun's house. And ever since I have been wallowing in my misery thinking how I don't deserve someone like her. She needs a guy who will give her everything she deserves and not have any insecurities about their relationship.

But why do I feel like dying everytime I try to think of her with someone else. Of course I would feel like that. I love her. I have never loved anyone like this before. Great! That's precisely why I hurt her like I have never hurt anyone before. It's true when people say that you hurt those people the most, whom you love the most. And by God! I love her. Me, who thought was incapable of this emotion loves Noor more than I could ever express. She brought the happiness and joy to my dull life. She showed me how each moment is worth a lifetime if it is spent with your loved one.

She is truly a gem of a person. And I need to let her go. Even though it will hurt me but I need to let her find a better man who will take care of her. Huh! More like Noor will take care of him. Ughgh. It hurts, just thinking of her being that way with someone who is not me. But I don't have a choice. I know I don't deserve her so the least that I can do to show my love is to let her go. But not before getting her forgiveness. I will most definitely earn her forgiveness and show her that I am truly sorry for what I did. And it will begin with me helping with Arjun's engagement.

Noor's POV

I have been working non stop for the last few hours finalising the plans, calling the decorators and others for Arjun's engagement. His parents will be arriving shortly and Arjun has gone to receive them from the airport. His parents live in London as his father handles the company headquarters in England whereas Arjun lived in India with his grandparents. May be that is the reason we are so close.

He would spend most of his days hanging out at my house and even go with me and my family for trips during summer vacations. It is true that my parents consider him as their elder son and even Veer looks upto him as his elder brother. I don't know how Adi couldn't see this. But then again, he met him only once and had a fight with me over it. And after that we never talked about Arjun. I was so focused on getting close to him that we never really talked about our other relationships.

And how did I not see Nissa and Arjun falling for each other. Either I was really distracted by Adi or they are very sneaky. I bet it is the latter because even Roon had no idea about this. She was very angry when Arjun told her about it. We wanted her help to get Nissa to Arjun's house on the day of the engagement. Arjun had to bribe her with a shopping trip anywhere she wanted to get her to agree and cool down. I really have adorable friends. Sadly my husband thinks otherwise.

My thoughts get interrupted when I hear the car arriving. I go outside to see Arjun and his parents getting out of Adi's car. WHAT! Soon Adi gets out from the driving seat.

What is he doing here! Is he here to confront Arjun and humiliate me further. What does he think of himself. I am going to kill him if he says a single bad word. I have been trying all day to keep a happy facade so that Arjun doesn't know about our fight. Arjun needs to concentrate on Nissa, not me and my married life crisis.

'Noor. You have such a lovely husband. Now I am feeling extra bad for missing your wedding for a meeting. He's a keeper', says Arjun's mom winking at me at the last sentence. WHAT. I look towards Adi to see him blushing shyly. Well he at least had the courtesy to be nice to Arjun's parents.

'Well I guess I am lucky to have him. Anyway where did you guys meet?', I ask politely. 'Our car malfunctioned and Aditya was coming this way, so he offered to give us a lift', replies Arjun totally ignorant of the fact that he was actually coming over to his house.

'I told Aditya about my engagement and he agreed to help. Isn't that nice of him', says Arjun. God he is so foolish.

'Yup. That was very nice of you Aditya. I am surprised that you got time out of your busy schedule. It's very kind of you to help my friend', I say lacing each word with sarcasm and hidden anger. I can see the hurt on his face when I don't call him Adi. 'It's the least I can do. After all he is your best friend', says Adi nervously.

My bestfriend! My foot. What does he want to achieve by this. Does he really think that getting my forgiveness is that easy. Just wait and watch Adi. I am going to make this the toughest thing you have ever done in your life.
