"Oh my, what is that?", Priya asked eyeing Xavier's diamond twinkling on Krithika's ring finger, "Did you travel to your 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 had informed her friends that her parents had asked her to come home for some pressing work. Well, what else would have she told them? That she was flying to Kerala for a pre-honeymoon trip with their boss... such a rubbish shit it would have been!

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

There was no use in hiding, Krithika comprehended that. Either then or in a few days, things might be revealed, so she thought to 'spill' in detail, whatever Priya had asked her a few months back.

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

Priya flew 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 have called us to your jail to confess, so now tell us where were you for the past week?"

Self-made hero, okay.

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

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

"Yes."

"What the fuck?", Priya slapped her forehead, "How naive are you? Krithika, you shouldn't trust these elite sons of bastards! Fucking throw that ring on his face, he probably did that to fuck you for a while, and then whoosh!", she snapped her fingers, "He will disappear."

What?

Hesitating Krithika asked, "Is this why you never believed when I told you that I am dating a r--"

"Obviously... What else?", Priya scoffed, leaning next to her over the bed, her weight supported by her left elbow, "Speaking from my personal experiences, rich men are not at all love material... once they get their fill they tend to break the heart of girls like us.", she shrugged, "I thought you were just playing around with him to free yourself from some loneliness and well, grandiloquent gifts are the benefits, but this, whatever you spewed, is bullshit."
