Never let me go Ever

27

Siddhartha climbed up the stairs when the lift was on the fifth floor already. He can't wait for the lift. He is already so tense about his mom not being well in the evening. He needs to check on her. He was panting heavily when he opened the door of his room.

The blood rushed to his eyes when he saw the scene inside the room. His mom was hugging someone and on top of that, she was crying heavily. Her tears tore him totally and he ignored the man beside her.

"A.r.j.u.n," she mumbled in her low voice as Sid stood on, shocked to realise that the man hugging his mom was the most handsome Arjun Rathore. What could be the reason?

He saw his mom release her clutch from Arjun's arms as her eyes met his. She slowly stepped back with horror eyes. Siddharth gulped the lumps forming inside his throat. He entered the room taking baby steps.

"Who is this? What's happening here, mom?" Sid asked, eyeing Arjun and back at his mom again. Ishu is too shocked to even react. What will she say now? On one side Arjun is demanding answers about Sid and on the other side, Sid is waiting for her answers. Which answer would be appropriate?

"Mom, what? Why?" Siddharth panicked, realising the answer through her eyes. He felt the air clogging around his lungs as he eyed his mom for clarity.

"Please tell me why Mr Arjun is here?" Sid pleaded again, hoping that he was misunderstanding everything.

"Mom?" Arjun questioned and turned his gaze to Sid and Ishu back and forth.

"Sid" Ishu called him in a low voice fearing for the worse to come out.

"I have asked who this is?" Siddharth lost his composed self as he yelled at his mom breaking the vase nearby.

"He is my husband. '' Ishu replied instantly and chose to reapply like that. Because if she says he is your father, it will be too much for both to absorb.

The time has stopped moving for Siddharth as he switches his gaze towards Arjun. The person he admired the most, the person he loved the most since childhood was the same person he despised the most.

Siddharth takes baby steps backwards till he hits the wall behind. He looked back at his mom as Ishi gasped loudly, seeing the disgust in his eyes for her. She can take anything but hatred from her son as what she fears for the most. Siddharth felt betrayed by his mom. She had many chances to tell him that this is his father but she chose not to reveal it. She kept it a secret from him.

Sid sat there with a thud as tears rolled down his cheeks. He didn't even look at Ishu again as his gaze fixed on the floor.

Arjun could feel his head burning a little. He felt something off with his body. But he ignored those and turned to Ishu.

"Who is he?" Arjun asked, ignoring the blackness which was spreading over his eyes. Ishu went numb thinking about what she would answer him now? She wanted to tell him that Siddharth is his son. But she is scared and panicked. She is not sure what would be Arjun's reaction? All her expressions made Arjun panic more. His forehead started filling with sweat as he made numerous assumptions and none were directed that he could be a son. Because his Ishu would never hide this.

Suraj entered the room at the right moment and was shocked to see everything. Siddharth wiped down his tears as he saw the three persons around him. He knew what he was going to do. He doesn't regret anything as he stood up angrily and stood tall before Arjun with new determined eyes.

"I am Siddharth Mehra. Son of Mr and Mrs Suraj Mehra" sid didn't even flinch once to say those loud to Arjun. Arjun tried to blink away the blackness but he failed miserably. Sudden actions took a toll on his mind and heart and all started processing each other. He doesn't want to believe Siddharth's words but there is no way he could fake those. That's when he realised he was already on the floor holding his head.

She didn't even want to realise what Sid has sprouted now. All her worries were directed towards Arjun who was unconscious in her lap.

Suraj couldn't comprehend anything but he acted fast as he lifted Arjun in a quick action. No one noticed Sus's devastated state as he was ignored by all, especially his mom. Sid looked at his mom and wanted her to stay back with him to talk to him, to hug him, to apologise to him, to console him. But she didn't even look at his side as she followed Suraj who went with Arjun.

Did his mom choose that man over him? Siddharth's hot tears rolled down as he felt all alone in the entire world. How can she choose him? His anger doubled the moment when Ishu crossed him and walked fast towards Arjun.

Siddharth walked slowly through the roads. He didn't mind any vehicle passing by his side as he was walking without any motive to go anywhere. One hour just ended his happy life as he felt all drained out and the life he lived till now felt all wasted. Whom he should blame now?

He hates the fact that he is crying because of the man who spoiled everything. He hates the fact that how can he hate that man whom he had cherished all these years.

He sat on the soil and glared at the seashore which tried to calm down his nerves but it didn't do any good as his mind wavers to go inside that water. His mom's face, when she followed Arjun, makes him go mad and he just wants to dive inside that sea.

"Come here. On Juhu beach. I don't know when I will be able to. hold me from jumping inside." Siddharth pressed the button and the message soon turned to a blue tick indicating that his friend had read the message. Sid can not imagine anyone other than Maddy right at that moment. Maddy can be the best person to stay with him in this state. Sid felt someone presence beside him. He knew that Maddy came there already. Closing his eyes, he kept his head over his shoulder and let the tears dip on Maddy's shirt.

"Are you crying?" The soft voice melted in the air as Sid didn't open his eyes. He realised that he had sent the message to Mishty without noticing it as she was the last person he chatted with. He looked up to her to meet Hazel's eyes which showed pure concern for him. But bad timing. He doesn't want her to be there at this time. Why the hell is she here in the first place? She could have ignored the message right? Sid shifted his gaze back to the seashore not able to see her.

Mishty saw him leaving the restaurant in a not so pleasant way back then. When she got his message she just couldn't stop herself from walking towards the place he mentioned.

"Don't take the stress. I won't ask you about anything. You can sit here till you feel better." Mishty's words were like heaven for Siddharth. He has never seen such a girl in his life. She is different and unique. He thanked the stars for her comfort zone.
