Dangerous Life Ahead

67 : || The Unforeseen Betrayal ||

The Clouds clashed with one another, as the thunders struck against the sky creating a terrifying environment.

Rain dropped harshly piercing the roaring wind, that occurred a symphony of emotions within Panchali's heart as the words of Aryan went inside her head.

She held her phone tightly against her right ear. Her throat cloaked with a fear as both of them went silent for a few good moments.

Her lips felt dry as she processed the earlier words from her best friend. It was a revelation.

A huge revelation that was well kept hidden from her. Her stomach twisted feeling a havoc of emotions.

"Panchu? Are you okay?" Aryan asked over the line, pulling all her out of her thoughts.

She licked her lips and took a deep breath, before speaking again.

"Aryan, you must be misunderstanding. You can be wrong in this case, because I haven't found anything like that." She tried to reason.

Aryan sighed heavily, "Trust me Panchu, I swear I was unaware that you didn't know about this. I thought you knew everything and then took your decision. But-"

"I don't believe you." She declared, gulping a lump in her throat.

"What...? You think I would lie to you? What has gotten into you in this one and a half month that you are now refusing to believe your best friend?" He asked, as his voice depicted disbelief.

Panchali shook her head, "I-I didn't mean that, Aryan. I am sorry but I don't know what to think or what to say. It's just that I can't come to believe that they could lie to me."

"No relationship flourish if it starts with a lie, Panchu. Trust is the basis of every bond and if it breaks even once, it's hard to rebuild again." Aryan mentioned

"But I didn't know that you were kept into shadows regarding this truth." He added, sighing to himself.

Panchali took a shaky breath and she almost chocked in her throat. Unable to hear anymore, she declined the call.

Her ocean blue orbs darted to the horrifying storm outside. It reflected the same as she faced within her.

They lied to her. Her husbands were misleading her for almost two months now.

Did they fool her all those time? Was everything she shared to them just a lie?

Was everytime she had spent with them over so many days were nothing?

The laughters, the deep conversations, the together spending time was all a facade?

Those promises that Yudhisthir said to her about staying beside her was a lie?

But how can everything be false?

What about the comfort she felt with them? Was it false too?

A lone tear slipped from her left eye, and she frowned feeling the trail of it over her cheeks. Instantly, she wiped it off.

Aryan must be misunderstanding something. Her husbands could never lie a single thing to her.

Feeling a mixture of emotions she went out of her room. To seek answers.

She always believed communication as a key to a healthy relationship. And she no matter what, she should consult with them before making random conclusions.

Descending the stairs fast to the ground floor, she headed towards their joint chamber.

The chilled wind crashed over her body, letting goosebumps to spread due to the weather. But she cared less about herself.
