Sharada : truth or dare !
Riya : sounds cool.
Raghav : I'm in.
Sharada : what about you two ?
Riya : arey guys ! It's just a game !
Mithra : ok !
Arnav : ok !
Sharada : i'll get a bottle.
Sharada went inside and came back with a bottle.
Riya spinned the bottle. The open side pointed Raghav .
Riya : fine !
Sharada : one second ! Before we start the game i am warning you guys again. It's just for fun. So, be truthful.
Everyone nodded.
Riya : who's your first crush ?
Raghav : madonna.
Arnav : what ?
Sharada : you have great taste !
Raghav : that is why I married you.
Riya : Aww.
Mithra smiled.
Raghav : next !
Raghav spinned the bottle and it pointed Arnav.
Raghav : When you are in 8th class your progress report was smudged. You said it is because someone spilled water accidentally. I don't think it's true. Am i right ?
Arnav : yes ! Someone spilled water for real. But not accidentally.
Raghav : who's that person ?
Arnav : you can't ask 2 questions nanna !
Sharada : don't worry ! Next time you can ask that.
Raghav : ok !
Arnav spinned the bottle and it pointed Mithra. He smirked.
Arnav : can i spin it again ?
Sharada : god ! Just put your damn stupid ego aside .
Arnav : Why you betrayed me ?
Mithra : I never betrayed you.
Mithra is about say something but Arnav spoke.
Arnav : achha ! Continue the game.
Mithra spinned the bottle but she didn't break the eye contact with arnav. She is glaring at him with bloodshot eyes. The bottle pointed sharada.
Mithra : Why your son never listens to me with patience aunty ?
Sharada who is curiously waiting for the question is struck without words.
Mithra is holding her tears. She stood up.
Mithra : aunty ! I should leave now. Sorry !
Sharada : Wait Mithra ! It's enough. I can't see you two like this. You should take a step by putting your ego aside.
Mithra : why you never said the same thing to your son ?
Sharada : because I'm tired of asking him. We are going inside. You guys must speak. Or else you will see my death.
Arnav : maa !
Mithra : aunty !
Sharada : Raghav ! Riya ! Come with me.
Sharada , Raghav and Riya went upstairs.
Mithra sat silently. Arnav sat opposite to her.
Arnav : Say !
Mithra : what ?
Arnav : about what you want to say !
Mithra : I'm done with trying to explain everything to you. Now I don't care.
Arnav : this attitude of yours is the reason for our deteriorating relationship. If this wasn't the case we would have been happily married.
Mithra : You think i am at the fault right ? Do you think she have come to speak with me ? Are you this dumb ?
Arnav : what ? What are you saying ?
Mithra : yes ! Mom never met me. She never met me in the last 20 years. It's just dad who occasionally meets me .
Arnav : what about that ?
Mithra : who knows ? I don't know about that till you slapped me !
Arnav ran his hand through his hair. He throwed the vase which is on the table.
Mithra wiped her tears. She looked at Arnav . He is looking at her with blank face but she can see his love for her and even he can see her love for him. But they are not ready put away everything and accept each other again. They are too struck with their own ego's and self-respect.
Riya : aunty ! I think I should go ! Let's meet later.
Riya rushed outside.
Mithra started her car and she waited for Riya to come. After Riya sat she drove the car to her house.
Mithra : you get inside. I'll be back.
Riya : Mithra please !
Mithra : can't you hear ? Just get out of my car !
Riya is startled. She silently went inside. She went into her room and closed the door. She sat near the door and started crying. She remembered how they ended up like this because of her. Her one mistake changed mithra's life in to a worst one. But the whole blame went to mithra. From 2 decades mithra is protecting her.
