Hey there, it's kartik , back to share another chapter of the emotions, because this one's gonna be a serious .

As a psychology student, I had always prided myself on my ability to observe and understand human behavior. But little did I know that the very friendships I cherished would be tested, pushing me to my limits. It was one of the cons of being able to read someone.

After a significant period of time, I started noticing subtle signs of deception and backbiting among Chole and Berry. At first, it was merely a nagging doubt in the back of my mind, but I couldn't ignore the growing unease within me. Determined to uncover the truth, I decided it was time to address the elephant in the room.

I approached Chole, seeking clarity and hoping to put my doubts to rest. To my dismay, she vehemently denied any involvement in backbiting or sharing my private chats with Berry. It was a deja vu moment, reminiscent of the situation with Riya. Doubt crept in, leaving me torn between trust and suspicion.

With a heavy heart, I turned to Berry, hoping for honesty in her response. True to her unpredictable nature, Berry admitted to the backbiting, acknowledging her honesty and dishonesty in equal measure. It was a bittersweet moment, as I appreciated her candidness while grappling with the reality of the betrayal.

Faced with Chole's continued denial, I knew I needed concrete proof to confront her and expose the truth. Berry, understanding the gravity of the situation, granted me permission to access her account and collect screenshots as evidence. It was a desperate measure, a breach of privacy that pained me, but I felt compelled to protect myself and uncover the extent of the betrayal.

As I delved into Berry's account, my worst fears were confirmed. They had not only shared my private chats , screen shots but had even exchanged my photos, a blatant violation of my trust and privacy. It felt like a bad dream, a nightmare I couldn't escape. How could Chole, whom I considered a close friend, stoop to such levels of deceit?

We had an open and frank conversation about the betrayal, but Chole's pride and stubbornness prevented her from truly listening or understanding the pain she had caused. We argued, emotions running high, but it seemed impossible to bridge the growing divide.

In an attempt to gain clarity, I decided to test the waters by hacking into Berry's account. To my dismay, the evidence mirrored what I had already discovered. Their actions spoke louder than words, revealing a pattern of betrayal and deception that shattered my heart into pieces.

I couldn't help but question everything. Should I still trust them? Was it worth salvaging our friendship? The weight of disappointment settled upon me, and I knew that something had to change. It was exhausting to constantly adjust and forgive, only to be faced with the same hurtful behaviors.

Despite the pain, we tried to move forward, clinging to the remnants of our friendship. However, the underlying issues persisted. They continued to betray my trust, sharing my private moments without remorse. The wounds remained raw, reopening with every new instance of backbiting.

We had intermittent open conversations, hoping to mend the broken bonds. But deep down, I knew that true change required more than just empty words. It demanded introspection and a genuine desire to rectify the mistakes made.

As the days turned into weeks, I found solace in self-reflection. I questioned whether I deserved friendships built on trust, respect, and loyalty. I realized that I couldn't bear the weight of constant betrayal, and it was time to prioritize my own well-being.

With a heavy heart, I made the difficult decision to distance myself from Chole and Berry. It was a painful choice, but necessary for my own growth and emotional well-being. I cherished the memories we had shared, but I couldn't continue down a path of perpetual hurt and mistrust.

As I embarked on a new chapter of my life, I vowed to surround myself only myself and no one elsr. It was time to learn from these experiences, to embrace the lessons they had taught me about trust, forgiveness, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. But as a human I couldn't resist myself and thought of giving it a try again, I knew what was ahead of me but I still continued

Should I have given up ?? And what's gonna happen now when I have given a chance again ??? Look forward to the next chapter .
