I glared at the disgusting man in front of me with so much hatred. I loathed this man, being in relationship with him filled me with abhorrence. How could my heart fall for a man like him, just how?.

I roughly wiped my lips with my sleeve not caring about the pain. "E-eyshana, I-" JUST SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH" I yelled at him making him flinch. "You disgust me so much Ezhil, I can't believe I was once in love with a man like you" I spat at him with so much disgust. He gave me a painful expression, his eyes welling with tears.

Fake, his tears were fake, everything about him was fake, he himself was fake and so were his friends. I glared at his friends who were watching us, shock shown on their face. "Eyshana I'm sor-"

"ENOUGH, enough of that word" I hissed making him flinch. "You are one cheap man and so are your friends, men like you can never respect women until something like this happens to the women in your family" I stated with disgust. Ezhil's eyes widened with shock while the others looked down in shame.

I glanced at Malin who was staring at us with a calm yet amused look but when I looked down at his palms, they were rolled into two fists. It was like he was trying to control his anger but why?

I looked away from him and furiously wiped my tears, opening my car door with anger and slamming it shut once I sat in. I started my engine and sped off with rage. I increased my speed not caring about the law. How dare he?, how dare he kiss me?. I felt so disgusted. My bottom lip trembled as I tried not to cry. I sniffled and took in a deep breath once I reached my hotel.

I stormed right into my bedroom and went straight into my bathroom. I looked at my face and washed my mouth with water. I rubbed my lips knowing that they were still swollen; I then brushed my teeth so many times not caring if my gums bled. I needed to remove his touch, I needed to remove everything. I looked at my wrist that he held.

I turned on the shower and stood under the shower head, rubbing and scratching my wrist wanting his touch off my body this instant. "AHHHH" I screamed as I punched the shower wall, my knuckles now bleeding. "AHHHH" I pulled on my hair as I fell onto the ground, hugging my drenching body allowing the water to rain over me.

I shouldn't have helped her; I shouldn't have taken her case. Some other lawyer could have done it. Why...why why...why did I agree to the case...just why? I cried as I rocked myself, allowing the hot warm water to calm me. After getting calm, I turned the shower off and changed my clothes. I looked at my reflection and cringed when I saw how red and swollen my lips were, how puffy my eyes were. My eyes were blood-shot red causing my hazel eyes to brighten up even more. I basically looked like a mess.

I sighed and ran my hands over my face. I whipped my head to the side when I heard my phone ring. I smiled knowing who it would be. I held my phone and saw that Sagar was facetiming me. I quickly wiped my tears and sorted out my hair so they don't suspect anything. Wearing a smile on my face, I swiped the green button, "Hey" I waved at him. He was lying in bed with his arm wrapped around Aditi who was smiling at me. "Hi sis, I miss you" she pouted making me chuckle. "I miss you all too" I sent a flying kiss.

"Eyhu" Sagar's face turned serious. I faked a laugh, "What?" I whined playfully. "Why are your eyes red?, were you crying?" he now sat up straight. I gulped and cursed in my mind. How can he can see right through me?, "Eyshu?, what happened my sister?, did they do something?" Aditi stated in anger. I shook my head, a laugh leaving my lips. "What are you guys talking about?, I'm fine, seriously, I was just missing you all" I gave them a wide smile. Sagar narrowed his eyes at me but nodded.

"If an-

"If anything happens, call me immediately, yes I know sir" I saluted him making Aditi laugh while he playfully glared at me. "Anyway, how's things going?" Aditi asked now snuggling into Sagar's chest. "Nothing much. I contacted the police to investigate into this case. I also took her to the artist, so we know how those men looked like. Once they are caught, we can move this matter to the court and hopefully get her justice and those men punished" I stated with calmness.

They both looked at me with silence. I raised my eyebrow and looked at the mobile screen with confusion. Was my screen frozen? "Why are you both staring at me like that?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed. "We are just so proud of you Eyshana, that's why we are looking at you like that, looking at you with proudness" Aditi gave me a proud look.

I looked down, tucking my hair strands behind my ear. "Awww, is our baby getting shy?" Aditi teased making me playfully glare at her. We then laughed and talked about other things until Aditi yawned. I told them to sleep as it was very late there before cutting the call off. A loud sigh left my lips as I fell flat on the bed, staring at ceiling.

****

"Really?, Fantastic!, I will let them know now. Thank you so much Officer" I spoke with happiness before cutting the call off. I then dialled in Sona's number and called her. After 3 bells she picked up. "Eysha-", "Come to my office at 10, I have good news" I said and disconnected the call.

At directly 10, Sona, Vicky and of course the whole gang had to come, entered my office. Sona and Vicky sat in front of me while the others stood behind them. I looked at Sona and leaned back in my chair. "They have been caught" I blurted out making Sona tear up. Her lips trembled as she took in deep breaths trying not to cry but she then burst out in tears, hugging Vicky tightly. Vicky shed tears as he hugged her back, kissing her head repeatedly.

"Thank god" I heard Farhan whisper as he looked at the ceiling like he was praying to god. I could feel an intense stare at the side of my face but I chose to ignore it. Sona then stood up and walked towards me. She then wrapped her arms around me, crying into my neck. "Thank you, thank you so much...thank you" she cried harder. I fisted my palms feeling uncomfortable as she continued crying. She then moved away when realising I wasn't going to hug her back. She gave me a sad smile and moved back to Vicky.

"Now that they are caught, we can take this case to the court. I need you and Vicky there for witness. You will get a letter or an email from me or the lawyers branch to inform you the date" I stated. She gave me a nervous look, glancing at Vicky then back at me. I gave her firm expression and said "I will make sure you win this case, this is a promise from me" I spoke with determination. She nodded and wiped her tears thanking me again.

We then all sat there in an awkward silence. "You can now g-", "Aliya" Sunny suddenly spoke cutting me off. "F-farhan told me that...that you refused t-to help" he gulped and looked away.

I leaned back in my chair; my hands clasped together as I stared at him with amusement. "and why should I help?" I asked in a calm tone. "Eyshana she, she is in pain, you don't understand, her photos are-"

I glared at him with so much anger when he muttered those words. "I don't understand?" I asked him with disbelief. His eyes widened with shock. He furiously shook his head and I knew he was going apologise but I held my hand out to stop him.

I gave him a bitter smile, my eyes throwing daggers at him with disgust. "I must say, you really do have the guts to say that I don't understand how it feels to have your 'nudes' seen by other people. The girl whose nudes are apparently visible on the net was the same girl who ruined my dignity by spreading my nudes and I wonder how she got those pictures" I tilted my head as I muttered those words out with sarcasm. They all flinched, their eyes pleading but I didn't care.

Farhan was about to open his mouth to speak but I stopped him. "Let me speak" I said with coldness making him snap his mouth shut. "First of all, I'm not your family neither am I your friend. I am not your personal slave or personal lawyer. I am only Sona's lawyer until this case gets sorted out. If you want, I can help you contact other lawyers who will help you with your friend's case as I refuse to help her" I spoke with my head held high.

Tears welled up in their eyes as they listened carefully to my words. "No one was there for me when my photos were spread all over the college walls. No one was there for me when people threw disgusting words at my character, no one was there to delete my photos as it was too late but there was one person who wiped my tears away for me, who supported me and who actually believed in me and I'm sure you know who that person is" I spoke as I thought about Sagar with proudness. He was nothing like his ex-cheap friends. They all looked away with shame making me mentally scoff. "I will kill those who saw y-" a bitter laugh left my lips cutting off Ezhil's words. I looked at the table, a small smile stretching on my lips. I then tilted my head and looked at him with a bitter smile, shaking my head in disbelief.

"What's the point of this?" I shrugged my shoulders. "What's the point of this acting?, this fake possessiveness?, this...this fake love" I spat. Ezhil looked at me horrified. "No Eyshana, this is not fake, my love isn't fake at all. You can hate me, curse me but don't question my love I have for you" he said with a serious tone which actually made me laugh.

They looked at me bewildered. "What a speech" I clapped my hands. "You think these words will affect me?" I smiled at him making him puzzled. My smile then died down as I gave him a cold expression. "You don't know what love is, all of you don't know what love is but forget about love, all of you don't even know the definition of respect and humanity and you know what we call people like you?...we call people like you illiterate" I stated in a calm yet angered voice.

Colour left their skins and their face paled at my words. I sighed and sat up straight, "So no...I won't help Aliya not because of my past with her but because she deserves what is happening to her. She should get the taste of her own medicine but then again, I am not heartless, I'm not like you people. I will hope and pray that her situation get's sorted but I'm not the right person to help her".

I stood up and picked up my coat, laying it over my arm. "Hope this good news gave you some sort of happiness. Have a good day Lady and gentlemen" I bowed my head in a mocking way and turned away from them, walking out of the office leaving them behind.

A loud sigh left my lips as I gulped, sweat running my temples as I fanned my face with my hands once I closed the door behind me. I felt like my shoulders were now light. It felt so much better after saying those words. It was like one burden was gone from my life.

I fell onto the seat, tears dripping out of my eyes. "She is right, we are being selfish. Just because she agreed to help Sona doesn't mean she will continue helping us for Aliya" Sunny spoke as he sat next to me. "She will never forgive us" Sona cried making me rage.

I stood up in anger and kicked the chair in front of me making Sona scream. "OF COURSE, SHE WILL NEVER FORGIVE US, WE ARE FUCKING LOW CHEAPSKATES IN FRONT OF HER EYES. WE FUCKING LOST OUR FRIEND THE DAY WE FUCKING KILLED HER, THE DAY I FUCKING RAPED HER WITH THESE FUCKING HANDS" I slammed my hands onto the glass table continuously until it shattered making my hands bleed.

"What the fuck man?" Farhan cursed as he pulled me back. "Have you gone fucking crazy?" he spat at me. I looked at him with red teary eyes, a humourless laugh leaving my lips. "So crazy" I bitterly smiled. "You're sick" he snapped making me chuckle before pulling me into a hug, my tears dripping onto his shoulder.

"I'm so crazy for her man, I'm so crazy for her that I might actually become insane for life" my body shook as I sucked in some air.
