Noor's POV

Adi has been bugging me with his presence ever since he came to Arjun's house. He has been actively participating in the preparations. Hell! he even helped the decorators in doing the physical work of unloading things. I never thought he would do this. Why is he doing this anyway. Is he really sorry. Or is this his way of keeping an eye on me while I'm here. Ughh. I can't take this anymore.

I walk up to Adi and pull him by his collar to take him to a secluded corner. 'What are you doing here. If your purpose is to ensure that I don't cheat on you with Arjun then there is no need. If I really wanted to do that I would do it in front of you without any qualms', I explode in anger. That changes Adi's expression to one of extreme sadness.

'I understand. It is my fault that I led you to believe that I could stoop so low. But Noor that is not who I am. At least not anymore. I know saying sorry is not enough but I want to say that I am truly very sorry for what I did. Maybe one day when you trust me again I will tell you what led me to think that of you. But even that doesn't give me the right to do what I did. I am here to show you that I am sorry and I am ready to go through anything to earn your forgiveness, even if it is the last thing that I do. I am sorry Noor. I have hurt you when I promised that I will cherish you. You have every right to punish me and I promise I will take it in my stride and do whatever it takes to make you forgive me and maybe in time you will trust me again. I know I have lost you but I won't let you go without getting your forgiveness'.

With that he places a kiss on my cheek and leaves me standing there trying to process what just happened. Is he for real? I can swear I never thought it was possible for Adi to lower his ego to ask for my forgiveness with such sincerity. Is he really sincere or is he just a great actor. I doubt he is the latter. If he was an actor he would have had a better control of his emotions all the times we were together especially in our intimate moments. And what did he mean by that he has lost me and he would let me go once I have forgiven him. And I need to know his reasons for doubting me. If he even remotely had a valid reason, then I will forgive him and cut short his misery. I need to find that friend of his. Jai.

Jai's POV

(CAUTION:Strong language)

Dude this is so fucked up. The moment I saw Noor I knew she was nothing like that bitch Riya. Aditya has messed up badly this time. And I need to help him. Because honestly I have no idea what is going on in his mind right now. When he told me he is going to help doing arrangements for that guys engagement, I was shocked. This Aditya is definitely new to me. And a new Aditya is unpredictable. This in a way proves his seriousness about Noor and I guess he really does love her. God! I can't believe my friend is in love. What if I also end up catching this thing. No Nope Nada. It isn't happening. I am very happy being a single free chap. God if you are real then listen nice and close coz I ain't repeating it again. Don't you dare make me fall in love with some gal. One lovesick fool is enough in the group. And now I need to help that lovesick fool to get his love back. Ughhh. I came to India to relax. Well guess what, it isn't in my luck. Fuck it.
