44. Together

I did not mean any harm.

I did not.

I did not.

I did not.

I could never mean any harm to Atharva, or to his parents, or to Amara, or to any human on this world. I could never.

I did not hide the truth because I wanted Roy family to get hurt, I hid the truth because I simply wanted to Atharva rest and breathe before he worries about everything else.

If I had exposed that note on Vidaai day, everyone including Abhimanyu may have been worried to their extreme. It was a note, and, and, and I thought, I thought nothing is serious.

"Can you for god's sake, Evara, listen to me once?" Atharva was on the phone with someone, his face all angry and frustrated. "Leave me alone and let me, let me do my fucking job."

"Watch your tone, I am your wife." I sighed slowly, taking a step closer to him. "I know you are angry with me, and frustrated and confused but, but, we can solve this together."

"Together? How are we going to solve this together if you keep hiding things from me?" Atharva exhaled loudly, his phone still on the line but he looked unbothered.

"I wasn't going to hide it forever," I explained, "I was waiting for the right time."

"And when was the right time? After my brother died? After something has happened to Maa, Papa and Amara? Or after you, you my darling, you get apart from me again?" Atharva has lost his all control, his mind in the maze, his body trembling with fear, his... "I can't do this  Evara, I can't face another eight years wanting to die everyday, I can't, I can't face anymore pain and,"
