"Oh my, what is that?" Priya asked, eyeing Xavier's diamond twinkling on Krithika's ring finger

"Oh my, what is that?" Priya asked, eyeing Xavier's diamond twinkling on Krithika's ring finger. "Did you travel home to get engaged or what?" She paused for a minute. "But you were dating some pompous rich-ass, right?"

Yes, she had lied again and told her friends that her parents had asked her to come home for some pressing work. Well, what else would she have told them? That she was flying to Kerala for a pre-honeymoon trip with their boss? Such rubbish it would have been!

She was sitting on her bed, relaxing her legs, pulling them out from the lotus position to flex them straight. Leaning back against the wall, she confessed, "Actually... I didn't go home."

There was no use in hiding it, Krithika realized. Either now or in a few days, things might be revealed, so she thought to 'spill' everything in detail, just like Priya had asked her a few months back.

You are engaged to him, there's nothing wrong in spilling now.

"Much expected lies from you. So, the mystery boyfriend of yours gifted this exorbitant piece of stone as well?" Priya frowned. "He must be losing quite a lot of his generational wealth by spending so much on you."

Gifted? So, she can't conclude that the pompous rich-ass boyfriend proposed to me?

Yes, she thinks that a millionaire can't fall for a girl like you.

It hurt her.

Rashi, sitting at the end of the bed, chuckled. "You are so rude and hurtful, Priya," she shook her head. "Krithika and this, whoever the guy is, are in love, it's evident, and you keep insulting him as well as our friend."

Priya blew a flying kiss towards Rashi. "Krithika is in love, my ass. And trolling is my love language," she continued. "I don't talk like this to everyone. You should see how I am in front of Xavier sir, he probably thinks I am a namby-pamby nerd."

"Everyone is a dork in front of him. You can't compare your regular shitty attitude to your appearance in front of a self-made hero," Rashi shrugged and turned to face Krithika. "Anyway, it's established that, like always, you lied to us and called us to your jail to confess. So now, tell us where you've been for the past week?"

Self-made hero, okay.

Krithika chewed her lips. "I went on a vacation with my fiancé."

Stunned at her comment, Priya opened her arms wide. "Excuse me, fiancé what?" she shrieked. "Don't tell me that this fancy guy proposed to you and you fucking accepted it?" She screamed like Krithika had slapped her with a cactus.
