Atul fell on the floor with his bleeding nose.

"how dare you to touch my Preeti with your filthy hands." Siddharth roared while pulling him up by his collar and punch him again two times.

Atul fell on floor with his head bleeding. Two body guards came forward and hold him by his hand.

"...and you.." fear is clearly visible on Priyanka's face when Siddharth turned to her with his furious eyes.

"well believe you are a girl otherwise God help me, I will rip your filthy mouth and hands with my bare hands." Siddharth said in a dangerously calm voice.

"Take them and hand to the police with all proofs and keep that in your mind that they will rot in jail otherwise you all know what will I do with all of you." Siddharth ordered to his men.

They all nodded in unison and hold Atul and Priyanka by their hands.

"wait.. "

All of them along with Siddharth turned to kshama.

Kshama walked to Priyanka and slap her hard. Priyanka's face turned to side due to the hard slap which she got from kshama.

"this is for humiliated my best friend." kshama said while flaring her nostrils in anger.

Siddharth put his hand on glass table and palm his face. He took a deep breath to calm his anger.

"kshama wait.. " he stopped kshama when he heard the sound of door open.

He slowly removed his hand from his face and look at kshama.

"sit.. " he said gently to her.

Kshama took a sit in front of him while staring at him angrily.

"you are new manager of this branch. From now on you are handling this branch " Siddharth said while giving her file.

"h.. Ho.. How.? I have no experience of this. " kshama said while taking a file from table.

"you are working as a provisional officer from two years. You have enough experience of managing the branch. You will done it. You just need a little bit training. I need honest person in firms unlike Atul jha. You just signed the papers. All the formalities are already taken care of. " he said.

Kshama nodded her head in agreement while reading the papers carefully.

After getting satisfied she signed the papers.

"I know we have never met before but I know, you know who I am.. " Siddharth said.

"of course. A heartbreaker. Who broke heart of my best friend whom she madly in love with." kshama said while flaring his nostrils in anger.

"listen.. I can understand your anger but I have my own reasons to do that. I had bounded to the circumstances and I didn't want to snatch Preeti's happiness by letting her marry me. " he said calmly.

"you did that anyways..and if you didn't want to marry her before then why are you asking her a second chance now. " kshama said while crossing her arms on her chest.

"I know I messed up everything but I was helpless. I too love her as much as she love me. And ask yourself, will Preeti be happy without me." kshama sit straight after hearing him.

She knows that her best friend love this man very much and she can't be happy without him.

"you know her better than me. She never let anyone know what she is going through and endure all emotional pain silently." Siddharth said while looking at her.

"I can never think of hurting her. I was fool than to think that I was saving her from horrible life with me but I never thought that she had broken without me. I suffered the same, without her. We both going through a lot and now we both need each other to heal our wounded hearts. " Siddharth said looking at her with guilt.

Kshama don't know what he is going through but every coin has it's two sides. She only knows its one side. She doesn't know his side of the story. 
What he did today, and Preeti told her about him on their last talk on phone proves that he love her friend so much. She can't judge him without hearing his side and what she reads about him in internet if that was all are true then she needs to tell to Preeti. It will help her to take decision.

"I am no one to judge you or forgive you. No matter what was your reason behind all of that but you broke her heart. She suffered from high fever for four days when you first time shout on her without any reason when she was just trying to reach you when you hadn't picked her calls. She was worried about you. I was the one who watched her sitting on her room's balcony and missing you. She was depressed when you left her."

Siddharth lower down his eyelashes in guilt.

"..but again as I said I am no one to judge you or forgive you. Preeti has this right only. I know she forgive you but she is afraid that you leave her again. Make her believe that you are not going to leave her. She is a soft flower which needs a love and care to grow. Give her that before you lose her forever. " kshama said looking at him with soft eyes.

Siddharth nodded his head lightly.

"I must go now. " kshama said while getting up from the chair.

She stopped on her trak because she wanted to ask him something. She turned to him.

"Siddharth.."

Siddharth look at her when she called him.

"Did you really rape Anna smith?"
