"Did you run away from a mental asylum?"

"Reeha! Is everything alright? Why did you suddenly want to meet? Are you okay?"
As soon as Azeen reached the cafe, she shooted questions towards Reeha, who was sitting on the chair with an unreadable expression.

"Sit down."
Reeha spoke while looking at her blankly.

"You are scaring me now. What happened?"
Sitting on the chair, Azeen worriedly asked.

"You should deserve an oscar."

"What?"

"How could you... how could you lie so blatantly?"
Angrily Reeha asked.

"What are you talking about?"
Unable to understand the sudden change of Reeha's mood, Azeen asked.

"I know everything."
Reeha didn't need to explain because from her expression Azeen knew what she was talking about.

"Reeha, I-"

"I considered you my friend! I treated you like a sister!"
Reeha said in a hurt voice.

"Reeha, you also are like a sister to me. I-"

"No. I'm not. Because if you thought of me as your sister then you wouldn't have fooled me!"

Azeen shook her head trying to deny it.

"Why am I even blaming you? When my brother, heck even my husband lied to me ... fooled me then who am I to blame you."

Reeha felt betrayed, hurt. She couldn't fathom who to be angry at. Her sister-in-law, her brother or her husband.

"Reeha, I didn't mean to hurt you. I swear. I didn't mean to hide it-"

Cutting her off, Reeha yelled.
"But you did! And you lied to me! You played with our emotions!

"No. No. I admit I might have hidden the truth from you but,"
Holding her hand, Azeen spoke.
"I never lied to you. You were the only person to whom I was honest from the start."

"Liar!"
Pulling her hand harshly, Reeha spat.
"You are lying again! You said bhaiya saved you from falling. It was a lie! He saved you from the goons, not from falling."

"I didn't lie about it. He did save me from falling..."

Azeen paused a bit before finishing.

"...from falling into the river."
