A promise: That changed my life

Siya
I am too grateful for Sunny, he really understands my situation and kept it hidden for me, but I know sooner or later everyone will
know the truth that will gonna hurt them badly, I should have to say the same day to Vishal about me getting married to someone
else, so at least, now my life wouldn't have been messy.
He is here too, and it's scaring me.
I don't know what more troubles life is gonna create for me.
"Bhabhi sa, I was thinking-"
Even the thought of telling the truth scares me to hell. I yanked up in fear when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder from my
behind, I looked back, Sunny was looking at me with confusion looming over his face.
"Sunny, it's you." I sighed in relief, he came forward towards my side.
"Yeah, It's me, are you still worried about it?" He asks, raising his brow at me.
"Of course, how can I stop worrying, Sunny, I'm already scared enough for the consequences. " I told him.
"You shouldn't, " He says, "Because worrying too much ain't gonna help us in any damn way, If I were in your place Bhabhi sa, I
must have told Vishal the truth, if he is my best friend then I am super sure he will understand me too without judging my motives
behind it."
"But It will hurt him." I trailed off.
"Hurt?" He chuckled, " Hurt is a very small word for Vishal's case, Bhabhi sa, can you imagine what can happen if Karan bro
came to know your Secret and that we kept it hidden from him? It will make us face the worst to worst consequences that just by
a single thought can give rise to deadly goosebumps on our skin."
I remained silent, not knowing what I should say.
"You know what bhabhi sa, just answer my one question honestly."
I look up at him, seriousness on his face cannot be ignored which is scaring me, what question it can be?

"What is it?"
"If you get a chance to live with Vishal, leaving Karan bro, what will you do?" He asked.
My eyes widened on his question, how can I leave Karan for Vishal...? And is that something I really want?
"But what about Karan?"
"Don't worry about Bro, just be honest with me bhabhi sa, I will handle him, " He gives my hand a little squeeze to assure me, "
believe me."
"Why are you helping me?" My question shocked him for a moment as he just smiled.
"A brother can at least do this for his sister, I know this all seems too filmy but I am serious, I can't see you unhappy neither
Karan bro."
I smiled at him, " I need some time to think."
He simply nodded and went to his room.

Vishal
I ran after Rena, I can't do this, I love Siya...Do I? Of course, don't overthink anything, Vishal you better tell Rena that she is a
nice girl but I am not the one she should be with.
"Hey, Rena!" I called as she stopped, turning towards me with a smile.
"What's up suddenly?" She asks.
"I-'' I need to tell her, "I can't come with you on the movie date." I finally let out, taking a deep breath.
She stared at me, stunned, " Why? What happened?"
"You are beautiful, I like you too but...I got some work on Sunday that's why." What the heck are you saying! Just say you like
someone else. Is it that hard for you?! I know it will hurt her feelings...

"No problem, we can go some other time, bye." And she left before I could say anything back when suddenly I got a call from
Sunny.

Siya
Vishal or Karan...Sunny left me with so much confusion I don't understand what he can do for me even if I tell him what I
want...Isn't it too late already for everything?
"Bhabhi sa, let's go!" Sunny said, coming downstairs.
"What? Why and where?" I asked, getting up from the couch.
"Just tell me that you've already decided your answer!" He seems to be in a hurry.
"Yes, I have but Sunny-" he cut me off.
"Let's go then!" He said, pulling me towards the car.
He forcefully made me sit inside the car as He began to drive, "Can you now explain to me what's going on?" I asked, pissed off.
"You will know it ultimately. " Was all he said before avoiding all my questions and tantrums that I threw at him.
He stopped the car after a while in a silent place near the forest, "Where are we?" I mumbled, confusingly.
"Shh." He shushed me, waving his hand in the air as an indication of the other car that was coming in our way.
My heartbeat stopped right away when I saw that person whom I shouldn't, the fear forced me to almost faint away, somehow I
controlled it, allowing myself to see what's going to happen next even when I know something terrible.
Vishal made his way towards us, his eyes soon catching the confusion that was floating in the air through me when he saw me
with Sunny, I can clearly see so many questions running in his mind about the situation we both are not aware of.
"Hey, Vishal!" Sunny greeted him, grinning.
"What's going on here, Siya?" He asked, staring straight at me, ignoring Sunny's greeting. I gulped down in the fear.

"Well, Vishal, Meet my bhabhi sa, and I know you already know her."
"What the heck?! Are you talking Sunny?!!" Vishal yelled at him.
"Chill, bro, we got something to tell you," Sunny says, gesturing to me to speak.
"Vishal, I-"
"Bhabhi sa, don't worry, go ahead."
I took the deepest breath I could and mumbled out every single thing to Vishal while explaining to him, I caught all the
expressions on his face today, angry, sad, sympathetic, concerned, and more.
"It's just that....I thought it will hurt you that's why I kept it to myself." I finished my statement, getting a glance of him with tears in
his eyes that I was trying my best to avoid.
"And-" He wasn't able to speak due to the wetness of cries in his throat, still he continued, "And you think it's making me happy
now?" He manages to let out.
"Vishal-" he cut me off.
"No, Siya, what hurts me more is that you didn't trust me enough, you were just one call away and I would have come back to
talk to your parents, I would have explained to them how much we love each other, you matter to me more than anything in this
world."
"Vishal, it's not-" He cut Sunny off.
"No, Sunny, you don't need to defend your bhabhi sa, You know what, I appreciate it that you decided to do this, or otherwise,
she would've been a mother and didn't even care to let me know." Vishal fakes a mock.
And the tears were making their way out on my cheeks.
"No, Vishal, I was saying that it's not actually too late for you both to start your new life together and I promise to handle
everything and everyone." Sunny stated, assuring us, Vishal looked up at Sunny, totally shocked then at me.
"But ain't she your bhabhi sa?" Vishal questions, baffled.

"Yes, she is and will be forever, " He taps of Vishal's shoulder, "But it's no use if Karan bro and she ain't living happily, " He
turned towards me, "I know, you and Karan bro were living in separate rooms, it's just that I couldn't able to figure out anything
that time. And it seriously doesn't matter what are the reasons behind it whether it was Karan bro's decision or something, I know
something is off between you two and you guys are not happy." He specified, sighing.
"So, now at the moment, you've two options, Bhabhi sa and hopefully you will just choose the right one in your favor, we will
respect it, don't worry about the world or Karan bro." He added.
"Yes, Siya, it's time to decide for your life," Vishal said.
I smiled at both of them, I am so grateful to have Sunny in my life, I don't know where was I, if he wasn't here with me, to
support, to get me out of trouble, to give me confidence whereas Vishal, he stayed calm and listened to me like a true friend.
I looked up with a gleam in my eyes as I told them my decision.
