The angel of my life

Preeti's point of view

"if your heart is saying that he is innocent then follow your heart because now what I am going to say, you need a heart to hear it."

Kshama took her phone from her hand bag and started looking in it something.

"here... Read all this." kshama said while giving me her phone.

I gasped when I read the news about Siddharth on Google.

"he can't do such sins kshama. I know my Siddharth. He can't rape any girl." I said while looking at her with my teary eyes.

"He can't do such sins." I said with my shaky voice.

My body felt numb. My whole body started shaking in fear. Suddenly My heart started feel heavy.

"when you told me about him that he met you and asking for a second chance. I was so angry and I could not stop myself searching information about him." kshama looked at me concerned.

I don't know what to say or what to do. I just felt numb. My mind stop working.

"but when I read all this I was confused. Few things are didn't fit right in place. So I dig deeper." she said.

"what do you mean?" I asked her collecting myself.

"According to the sources this Anna Smith is one of the board member of his company. When Siddharth's father handed the company to him as C.E.O. , this Anna Smith along with some board members opposed this. But majority of board members voted in Siddharth's favour so as a chair person and a founder of kapoor group his father give the post to him as he think Siddharth is ready to take over the company."

I heard every single word what kshama is saying. I know Siddharth got busy when he take over the company on his shoulder. He had started less talking to me. His whole focus is on company. He even scold me once brutally when I disturb him and I caught fever for a week.

"but with in a month some clients of his company, filed a fraud case against Sid's company. When this news came out, Kapoor's group shares suddenly drop down in the share market, that his company is almost near to the bank currpsy. His clients demanded the arrest of Siddharth as he is the C.E.O of the company. Latter Siddharth took all the responsibility on his head and surrender himself to the police, and you know,.. the date when he got arrested... "

My heart beat stopped and I held my breath when I felt she was going to say something which shock me to the core.

"do you remember the date when he called you to broke the engagement...?"

How could I forget that date. That was the black day of my life. When my life turned upside-down. That was the day when I lost my love. That was the day when my love told me that he doesn't love me anymore.

I nodded my head as yes.

"that was the same day when he got arrested. That was the same day when he surrender himself to the police." kshama said while looking into my eyes.

I gasped and put my hand on my mouth. My eyes are wide open in shock. I never thought in my wild dream that was happening with him. I always cursed that he didn't love me the way I do to him but I never thought he was in a pain.

I lower down my head in guilt.

"when he came out from jail after getting a bail, he got engaged to This Anna Smith who is 6 years older than him." kshama said with a sarcastic laugh.

I raised my head to look at her when I heard her name again.

"..but you know what strange thing is no one went to see him in jail, not his family, not his childhood friend, or should I say his brother, Nick, except his lawyer."

How could Nick do this to him. Nick is like a brother to Siddharth then how dare he was not with him at his hard time.

I was also not with him in his hard time.

I felt hurt and guilt when I realize that. I promised him I will be with him in every situation. I will be standing beside him holding his hand when he need me.

..and I was not with him when he need me most. In those two year I was mourning in pain that he left me but I never thought about his pain. What he was going through. I ashamed myself. I disappointed him.

"No one was there when he got engaged. His family vanished in a thin air like they didn't exist...but his misery didn't stop here, after a month of his engagement with her, this Anna Smith accused Siddharth that he raped her."

I know Siddharth, he never do such crime. He respects women a lot. Why would he forced himself to a girl when girl already throw themselves to him.

"..and this is what, which confused me most. Why would Siddharth raped her when he already had lot on his plate to deal. Why would he add one more problem in his list by raping her and the most important thing why would he raped her if he already got engaged to her and could easily had sex with her after their marriage. He didn't look like a desperate one to me. After looking these photos you show me, this bitch looked a desperate one to me. She was willingly gave herself to him. Then why in the hell he would rape her and last but not the least why he engaged to her in first place when he was dealing with his problems. It's not that he love her so much and can't leave without her. Then why...? "

I have so many questions just like kshama. Why would he did that. Siddharth is not a desperate one. If he is, he took me long back when I was with him. He always respect me and always took care of what I want and if I am in comfortable or not with are little intimacy. I always felt safe and protected around him.

But what about the photos in which he was kissing her and still wearing our engagement ring.

She took my hand in her and squeezed it softly so my eyes can move to her again.

"Preeti I know he broke your heart and I am not telling you all this that you forgive him. But Preeti he was going through a lot as much as you were, may be more than you. I know I only know a half truth but my heart said that he was and he is innocent." she whispered, looking into my eyes.
