House Of Lies

Episode : 5

As she departed from their house tripura's decision became clear she needed to call her husband immediately. Despite her fear and frustration, the weight of the situation pushed her to confront her emotions head-on. With a racing heart, she dialed his number, her thoughts a tumultuous mix of anxiety and determination, uncertain of what revelations the conversation might bring

But eventually she hung up the call

In the swirling tempest of Tripura's mind, emotions clashed like waves against jagged rocks. Doubt and suspicion waged war against the love and trust she had held for her husband. Frustration bubbled as she grappled with the uncertainty of his involvement in the claims made by the mysterious woman

That whole day she couldn't do anything but just think about Karan she was so worried about him and her family as well

In the afternoon kiara came back from her school as soon as she rang the bell tripura came out of her trance she looked at the wall clock and got so surprised it was 4pm already she quickly stood up and went to open the door for her daughter

After kiara came inside she saw tripura wearing the same cloths since morning so she asked

Ki : Mumma why are you wearing the same clothes you didn't take a shower today ?

Then tripura looked at herself and said

T : actually I had some work today I will go now before that let me make something for you what would you like ?

Ki : Strawberry shake

T : Okay go upstairs and get fresh I will make it for you

In the kitchen as tripura's mind churned with thoughts of her husband's alleged actions, her grip on the knife tightened unconsciously. Lost in her thoughts, she accidentally cut her hand while slicing strawberries. The pain of the cut brought her back to the present moment, and as she looked at the blood welling up, the woman's words echoed in her mind like a haunting refrain. The sight of her own blood seemed to mirror the turmoil within her, a stark reminder of the choices she had to make and the uncertainty that lay ahead

Then Kiara came to downstairs and looked at her mother she noticed her finger was bleeding so she got so anxious and went to her

Ki : Mumma how did you got yourself hurt like this ?

So then tripura looked at her

T : No its nothing  I was just

But she gently guiding her to a seat and tending to her wound with care and tenderness right away

The unexpected display of affection and empathy from her daughter touched Tripura deeply, causing a flood of emotions to well up within her.

Overwhelmed by a mix of sadness, fear, and relief, Tripura's tears fell freely. Sensing her mother's distress, the daughter instinctively embraced her, offering a comforting hug that bridged the gap between confusion and empathy, in the midst of their shared moment of vulnerability

After they broke the hug kiara asked her

Ki : What is mumma ? Why are you being like this I am scared you seems so hurt

Tripura wiped off her tears and smiled

T : Nothing I am fine
