Mahira's pulse was very weak and it seemed like they were going to loose her anytime soon. Back in the hospital the doctor told Kaashvi that Mahira's state was critical and it was uncertain if she would recover.
Thane was coincidentally in the hospital and heard that Mahira was admitted to the hospital. He spots Kaashvi and she looked stressed so he approached her.
Thane " Hey Kaashvi, what happened to Mahira? I just saw her a while ago, unless I was hallucinating. I was drunk though I am not sure. But if she really was there, I remember my girlfriend Ariana said she just wanted to check on me. I was drunk but I'm pretty sure she was healthy and alive."
He had a grin that Kaashvi wanted to wipe of. She just never understood how he could go on living with himself when he did that to her best friend.
How could he look himself, look at his goddamn reflection shamelessly when someone's daughter was clearly suffering for him.
Kaashvi processed Thane's words. Putting two and two together. It was always because of him. Nothing good happened to Mahira when he was around. She was mad at him, furious because her best friend was in the hospital and he could never possibly make her smile.
Kaashvi, "what did you do to her?"
Kaashvi's sudden question startled him. He was being civilized yet she was questioning him.
Thane responded casually,
"Same old story. Ariana told me that she came to confess her love again. I told your friend multiple times that I am not interested in her but she just doesn't get it does she? She keeps forcing thing's. I suggest you help her move on because I can't love her. I actually pity her. Find someone else for her, I'm getting married soon."
Kaashvi looses her temper. She didn't want to loose her best friend just because of someone who didn't value her.
Mahira had always been there for her, helping her and encouraging her with her dreams despite her's not being fulfilled. Thane just made her angry.
She forcefully grabs Thane's wrist, her grip tight enough to leave a bruise and dragged Thane to Mahira's ICU room. From the window they could see the doctor's trying to revive Mahira.
Uncertain if Mahira would live or just die for someone like him. Kaashvi's focus shifted from the room to Thane then she pointed at the ICU.
" Do you see her darn it? She… she's fighting for her life all because of you and your fuckin selfishness. You son of a bitch. The least you could've done was care. She's a human too. Stop treating her like a robot because she feels. She does. My Mahi ,my only best friend is on a hospital bed fighting for her life and u…"
She ran her fingers through her hair frustrated. Tears streaming out of her eyes. She was panting and gasping for breath, the breath she lost trying to make him feel something even though it was hopeless. He never cared, nor did he ever listen .
Her face was soaked in tear's as she kept pointing at Mahira who was lying there unconscious. Thane's presence only fueled her anger because he was the reason for her condition.
"You know what? I regret the day I allowed her to fall deeper for you and pursue you. You are right. I should've told her to get someone else because you are just piece of bullshit. Mark my words the day she finds joy, you will regret ever losing her. Keep counting stones Thane, because you clearly can't tell the difference between diamonds and stones. "
The doctor interrupts and tells them to keep it down. Kaashvi looks at Thane disgusted that she ever supported Mahira's decision to love a skunk like him.
If only she had Mahira stay away and find someone else years ago. Her best friend would be fine if she had been head over heels with someone else. Because one thing was for sure, Thane didn't deserve Mahira. Not even in the slightest. Kaashvi orders Thane to leave.
Thane's POV
Kaashvi had scolded me as if I had killed her best friend. I just didn't like the way Mahira made me feel. She made me feel uncomfortable in high school.
She stalked me and sent countless gifts without my permission. Mahira was really sweet and nice but I just couldn't reciprocate her feelings. I told her multiple times to stay away from me and move on because I just didn't feel the same way.
She even sent gifts to my sister and that was creepy because it seemed physcho and obsessive. It made me insecure and as if she was dangerous for my little sister.
