Truth ⛈ 6

                                    

                                          
Hellooo guyss!! I know everyone is disheartened due to IPZN ending but please don't forget to participate in trends, help maintain the hype, mail/call/spam for season 2, and spread the word! Maybe if we all put in enough efforts Sony TV'll renew the show for a second season! 💕
                          
Apologies for not updating for a while! I had a few school assignments to clear but upon several requests, here's ch 6, hope ya'll enjoy it!
                          
==============================================================================
                          
After a few moments the trio reached the poolside, "Oye cheapda! Bhaiyya and bhabhi khidar hai?" Sonu asked Kartik-
                          
Kartik: Arrey! Mujhe kya pata? Tu mere se kyun puch rahi hai!
                          
Sonu: Kyunke tu har waqt unn dono ke saath chipka rehta hai issilye, she replied and Raj chuckled-
                          
Kartik: Sahi hai! Genuine baande ki koi value hi nahi hai! Mere Ishq(i) wala love gaane se aaj baat yahan tak pounchi hai-
                          
Sonu: Yeh lo! Confess bhai ne kiya, shaadi bhai/bhabhi ne ki, Mayank ko arrest unn dono ne karwaya aur saara credit tu le raha hai!
                          
Raj: Waise Sonu, thoda credit toh Kartik ko dena baanta hai, He's been nothing less than a true godfather of Ishqaan-
                          
Kartik: Thank you Raj! Yaad rakhna ke mein Sonu aur tere beech, humesha teri side houn- 
                          
Raj giggled, while Sonu and Kartik continued their banter- Soon Ishqi and Ahaan entered the poolside, they walked towards the trio hand in hand-
                          
The trio saw them, "Ooo, looking cute and all!", Sonu said teasingly-
                          
Ishqaan blushed, "Blush kar rahe ho , Hmmm" Kartik joined Sonu in teasing the newly wed couple. "Shut up Kartik" Ahaan said but with a huge smile on his face. 
                          
Raj: Aap dono sahi mein bohot cute lag rahe ho but tell us aap dono ne hum teeno ko yahan par kyun bolaya hai? Aaj toh aapki shaadi ki pehli raat hai na- he teased them-
                          
Ishqi cheeks turned crimson red-
                          
"Yaar Raj tum bhi inn dono ke saath mil gaye!" Ahaan said-
                          
They all enjoyed a good laugh before an upcoming emotional moment, after a few minutes of fun banter Ishqi cleared her throat and said, "AVM, baat kijiye"
                          
Ahaan nodded and took a deep breath, "Woh actually Ishqi aur mujhe tum teeno ko kuch bohot important batana hai"
                          
The trio nodded while Ahaan signalled them to take a seat- Once they were all seated Ahaan started speaking in a serious tone, "Bachpan se meine aapni maa se saab se zyada nafrat ki hai, unki wajah se mujhe aur Sonu ko logon ke taane sunne parey, unki wajah se humari family ki izzat mitti mein mil gayi, saab ko itna kuch sehna parah...I hated her for that! 
                          
Sonu interrupted him, "Bhaiyya? Aap aaj yeh saab kyun keh rahe ho?" she asked with slight tears in her eyes- 
                          
Ahaan looked at her with teary eyes while Ishqi grasped his arm in reassurance- he continued, "I wanted to protect Sonu from all the taunts, I didn't want people to say "like mother like daughter" so meine Sonu ko humesha se unknowingly pressurize kiya to be perfect, usse unrealistic expectations rakhe yeh jaane bina ke woh undar se kaise feel karti hai..Kabhi usski feelings jaane ki koshish nahi ki. 
                          
"Sonu, tumhe "perfect" hona ka itna pressure diya ke tumhari life mein itni baari cheez hogayi and tum mujhe baatne nahi aayi because you were scared of my reaction"
                          
Sonu gasped, she immediately knew what this was about- "B-Bhaiyya yeh aap" she stuttered nervously. Sonu glanced over at Ishqi who reassuringly blinked her eyes  which calmed Sonu down a bit- 
                          
Kartik: Bhai? Is everything okay? he asked concerned-
                          
Ahaan: Okay tha nahi but aaj ke baad hojaiga- he turned back to Sonu and cupped her face, "I'm sorry Sonu, mein itna overprotective hogaya ke I didn't even realize when it became so toxic and suffocating for you...I'm sorry!"
                          
Sonu was now bawling her eyes out, "Aap sorry mat bolo bhaiyya! I'm sorry, meine aapko disappoint kiya- meine aapki baat nahi maani aur uss party mein gayi-
                          
Ahaan cut her off, "Nahi Sonu, iss mein tumhari galti nahi hai, Uss kamine Mayank ki intentions itni kharab the! Aur mera sorry bolna baanta hai...Tu jaisi hai bilkul perfect hai, I'm sorry meine tujhe itna pressurize kiya! Meine aapni responsibility poori nahi kiya, mein tumhe protect nahi kar paya! Itni baari family hote hue bhi tum akeli padh gayi!" he said as tears streamed down his face- 
                          
In that moment it immediately clicked in Kartik and Raj's brain that it was Sonu whom Mayank had drugged and tried to molest. They thanked god she was safe. 
                          
Sonu: Thank-you bhaiyya! thank you soo much, mujhe samhajne ke liye...Aur aap iss baat ki tension maat lo ke mein akeli thi, kyunke I wasn't alone! mere saath meri best friend slash bhabhi thi. Bhabhi ne mujhe ek second ke liye bhi akela feel nahi hone diya, meri himmat baani, mujhe guide kiya, aur meri khushi ke liye logon ki itni baatein sunni. She protected me!, Sonu couldn't control herself any longer, she hugged her bhai and bhabhi and cried her heart out. 
                          
"I love you guys" she mumbled to them,"We love you more Sonu! they replied- They all had tears in their eyes-
                          
Kartik: Arrey! Chipkali tu humein bhool gayi?! he whined-
                          
Sonu giggled and hugged Raj and Kartik as well, they all had a group hug- After a few moments, when they tore from the hug Sonu said, "Aaj hum saab ek promise kareinge"
                          
Raj: Kya?
                          
Sonu: Ke life mein koi bhi problem kyun na aajai, saab se chupani parey par ek dusre se khabhi nahi chupai ge! Hum paancho(5) mein se koi bhi koi bhi problem akele face nahi kareyga. The five of us will always share our troubles with each other instead of keeping them inside ourselves...Promise? she said while putting her hand in the middle of the circle they'd formed-
                          
"PROMISE!" they all yelled while stacking their hands onto each other's one by one- 
                          
That night the sky witnessed a beautiful bond being formed, five souls were now tied in a precious and pure bond of friendship, care, and love- They were all now stronger than ever before as they were together.
