Vishal's dad too was at home. I told every little detail to them as I didn't want to hide it from them. Vishal's mom was hurt but also happy. I could sense it. I knew them for long years, I could still understand them the way I did before.

Vishal's mom said with tears brimming in her eyes, " Beta we always knew you both had something more than just friendship, the way Vishal used to look at you said it all"

Vishal's dad added to her words,
" -and we didn't mind it because both of you were so happy and suddenly all that happened. It was also difficult for us to get adjusted with the fact that you actually left everything behind even these three children!", he said looking at Rushi.

"I regret every decision I made back then, and now I can only make a few things right and I will try to do that the rest I can't change!", I said with guilt in my voice. Though I hated to be so vulnerable around people, I didn't mind them to see me like this, they were family, could still have been so!

"Its okay beta let the past be in the past, look forward you have a beautiful life, and Vishal, he will also come around in a few days once he comes to know, he can't stay mad at Adnan-Rushi for long and you never know what if he still has a soft corner for you", stated his mom to see smile on my face but it didn't work! I knew I couldn't keep hopes high.

"Aunty uncle , I really feel lighter now that I have talked to you! Thank you so much for understanding though I didn't expect you to forgive me for abandoning Vishal when he needed me"

Vishal's parents loved me as their own daughter, how could I have been so dumb to leave all this behind, how was I so lucky in the first place to have all this! I regret my actions, every single day!

"Uncle, aunty...I need to leave!"

"Wait for some more time child! It's already 7pm, have dinner with us and then go", Aunty wanted some more time with me but I couldn't wait! I couldn't get attached to them as I was earlier, now that I knew I was gonna get married to someone else!

Rushi had already left because he had got Adnan's text that he had reached home and Vishal was also there.

And here I was sitting in front of his parents thinking whether I should tell them or not about the engagement! I shouldn't tell them today, they have had enough already from me!

Vishal's parents bid me a goodbye. When aunty hugged me while leaving she whispered something in my ear which brought a genuine smile to me for brief moment and I left their place.

Coming out the first thing I did was to call Rohit that I would be home in a few. I didn't want to make him sad today as I had seen how excited he was.

How could they do it again?

Obviously they would why wouldn't they!

They seemed pretty close!

I wish I had not seen it!

Probably even Adnan would be lying about being in his office right now!

Rushi...why would Rushi be with her now?

What is it about her that my bestfriends would lie to me!, While my drive back home I couldn't stop all these thoughts running on my mind,

I don't even know what do I actually feel at the moment!

Is it hurt? Betrayal? Broken?

BROKEN!
