Never let me go Ever

17

"Wow. Simple and cute party. Akash, you have got a new life and a beautiful wife" one of his colleagues commented as he cheered for him with a drink in his hand. Maddy joined them as soon as they burst out laughing at Maddy's constant comments. All were enjoying the party but Mishty is so annoyed with Sid's flirty comments and his behaviour. She stayed angry with him for some unknown reasons. Sid tried to break the ice but ends up creating more distance between them.

"Guys this song is especially for our star couple" Maddy exclaimed and switched on the radio. Akash grabbed Shruthi as she blushed with his touch. The song was adding more beauty to the couple.

The words in the song went on smoothly as Akash twisted and turned to its tone. Sid gently came and asked for a dance. Mishty looked around as all focused on her reply. She doesn't want to create any scene so she grabbed him for a light dance.

When Mishty was about to go, Sid again twirled her for another round of dance.

"Leave me before I lose my patience" Mishty's words were so dangerous and Sid gulped his saliva. He doesn't want to get slapped in front of all for sure.

"Relax. I am just trying to apologise to you. I am sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just I tried to be little fun" Sid spoke and pouts a little making Mishty amuse with his gesture. She has crossed many men but never met his type. He has got zero egos and he is too simple and cute for sure. Mishty didn't even blink as she was staring at him. But something about him made Mishty get away from him instantly. She didn't reply to him anything as she went to a corner to spend the party time there all alone.

"Mishku, is everything okay?" Shruthi came to her friend's side seeing her sulking face. There is something wrong with her today. 

"Just." Msihty tried to look away. Shruthi is adamant to talk to her. 

"Listen, no lies. Just tell me what is bothering you?" Shruthi asked grabbing her shoulders.

"Are you angry with Siddharth brother? I mean he is so sweet. And why are you getting annoyed with him?" Shruthi asked directly as Msihty looked up to her friend. She can't lie to Shruthi for sure. Shruthi is like her sister and knew everything about Mishty since childhood. 

"Siddharth. He and his flirty dialogues" Mishty took a deep breath not able to find words to explain her turmoil. It's just her second meeting and her words would give a wrong impression for sure. But she has to tell what's she feeling?

"I mean. His actions remind me of" Mishty paused as her eyes lined up with a silver lining making Shruthi nervous. Mishty is always a strong girl facing many problems but she never cried for silly things. Shruthi hugged her friend instantly to make her calm down.

"His gestures reminds me of brother in law" the moment Mishty spoke, Shruthi widened her eyes and left her side immediately showing her displeasure towards her statement. 

"Vikram brother?" Shruthi asked disgustingly twisted her eyes. 

Vikram was married to Mishty's cousin sister. He is one funny guy who can easily attract all girls of young age. Mishty is no exception. She likes to spend time with Vikram. She loves his company a lot. But then, Vikram suddenly proposed Mishty showing his true colours. Mishty's sister did suicide the same day seeing everything in front of her eyes.

It's not the end as Vikram started obsessing with Mishty and he even tried to molest her at one point. Mishty's father made false complaints about him and put him inside the jail. 

Vikram was released a few days ago and that's why her father asked Mishty to stay in Delhi for more time so that he could again finish Vikram's issue full and final.

"Are you mad Mishtku?" Shruthi is hell angry with her friend. She knew everything about Vikram. But how can she compare Sid with that cheap Vikram? 

"I don't know if he is like him or not. But whenever he comments like something, I am getting scared" Mishty shivered as Shruthi hugged her friend. Vikram has made Mishty a weak girl with just one attempt. Shruthi consoled her.

"I know Siddharth brother. He is a gem. So please don't compare him with Vikram" Shruthi calmly spoke as Mishty nodded.

Siddharth crushes the paper glass with his hands as he heard their conversation. His orbs turned red as he turned away from their side and walked fast out from the party. 

Little did they know that Mishty liked Siddharth's company and thats why she is scared of betrayal. 

*****

Maddy entered the home looking for Sid. 

"Hey, why didn't you tell me before leaving the party?" Maddy asked taking the chips from his hands. Sid didn't pay attention as he kept his head over his mom's lap. 

"Why he is sulking now?" Maddy asked not able to understand the change in his mood.

"The girl who grabbed my son's attention is now doubting on his intention" Ishu replied massaging Sid's hair. Maddy opened his mouth wider 

"Shame on you Sid. Can't you even keep this away from your mom? I mean, how can you share this also?" Maddy asked gasping loudly making Sid roll his eyes.

"Don't create any drama. I have never hidden anything from my mom. And why should I?" Sid asked sitting over the couch with the same sulking face.

"Hell with you mom theory," Ishu yelled making both the guys turn to her side.

"I am listening to your tantrums because I have no choice. Get out and search for someone for you and share your sad stories with her. Always troubling me with your stories" Ishu slapped Sid's shoulders as he looked at his mom with a pout.

"Your fate is like that only, mom. You have to bear me till the end of my life. i am not going to give your place to anyone.  Not even to my would-be wife." Sid spoke giving her a flying kiss making her blush with his comment. 

"Your talking style resembles your dad. He is also like this so charming with his words." Before she could filter her words, everything spoiled as Sid stood up abruptly startling Sid.

"I have always said that you have no husband and I have no father. Dont take that man's name in front of me ever again. He is a selfish jerk who left us for his dream. We dont need him in our life. Why are you comparing me to him?" Sid yelled at his mom as instant tears formed in her eyes. Selfish jerk?

"He is your dad no matter what. And about this decision, I decided to leave him. He can't even let me go." Ishu sobbed slightly as Neha clutched her hand in support. 

Neha still remembers the day when Ishu told about Arjun and her separation reason. She can understand well from both sides. She is not at all angry with Arjun neither with Ishu. Maybe it's their fate to bring them like this. 

Siddharth banged the door harshly over their faces not wanting to yell at his mom more. He has never talked in a raised tone with his mom ever till it matters to that man. 

Ishu stood there rooted seeing the room door. Tears flowed from her eyes.
