Sins of the Elite (18+)

24. The truth

Chapter - 24

Avantika was coming closer to the truth yet she was far away from it. She needs to be sure if the story told by Advait was true or not, and furthermore, she also wants to know if Arjun lied, why would he have done that, considering he is the best friend of Advait.

On the other side, she didn't know that Aditi had told Payal about the date she went with Advait. That's why Payal was giving her stares at the college.

Avantika wanted some drama, some detective drama or some romantic drama but let's not forget she's still just a college student running low on attendance so the few days were spent on just attending the classes, each and every one of those boring classes, and talking to Advait a little bit in person and sometimes on text and call.

Advait is falling in love with her, there's no doubt at that. At times she wonders what's there in her that is making him fall in love with her but again she knows that no one else will love him as he does, so it's good that he is loving her back.

Few days later, during one of the conversation, she got the name of the driver out of his mouth, while she was asking about how he treats house-help, drivers and other people.

But even with the name, it was tough to find the family and she was about to give up on it, until one day, Advait picked her up and told her he's taking her somewhere.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"To meet the family I helped at riots," He said.

"Ohh," she wasn't sure how to reply, she wondered if he knows she was after it since quite a time now.

"Because it seems you don't believe what I told you that day," Advait said.

Her mouth went dry, she was feeling really bad, and confused about how to reply.

"Payal told me that your best friend was enquiring about it," He said.

"I am...I am sorry. But I do trust you, don't think I don't. Aditi may not but I do trust you. I want to know the truth for something else, trust me on that," She said.

"Whatever the reason, you will find the truth but I want you to know that after today I want to take a break from us," He said.

"Break from us? What does that mean?" She asked, her heart beat high.

"We were trying to find out what we feel for each other and that's why we are talking, going out together, or date even, and all those things. I want a break from it all," He said.

"Is it because I was trying to find the truth about what you said?" She asked.

"It's because you could have just simply asked me to take you to meet the family instead of trying to play the little detective," He said.

"I am sorry," she replied as she wasn't sure what to say otherwise.

They reached the place, now that she thinks of it, this place was all over the news during the riots. He parked a car outside a small house that seemed too old to be standing on the ground. It was shabby, the paint was off and it was giving vibes of poverty.

When they walked to the house and knocked at the door, a young teenage girl opened the door and smiled happily seeing Advait. She addressed him as Advait bhaiya and informed her mom that he is here with a girl.

They walked in, both took a seat on a chair and he waited for the lady to come there to narrate the story. The conversation went on for around one hour, Avantika got to know the gory details of the times of the riots and how bad some people are who tries to take advantage of a vulnerable family.

Avantika also got to know the truth that Advait was telling the truth and he had hidden nothing. If he did hid anything, it was basically how he humbled down the story by not mentioning how he put his life in danger to saves theirs.

After this she had lots of respect for him but the real question is not yet answered. Why did Arjun tell such a lie about Advait?

She thought about it but didn't tell anything to Advait. He dropped her near her house and restated that he needs a break from her. It felt really bad but she wants to gain his trust again.

The end of the chapter -24
Hey readers, how are you all? Are you enjoying reading? Any suggestions? Any criticism?

This chapter is not detailed about what the lady told Avantika, but that because Avantika will be narrating it to Aditi, so I thought no need for it to be repetitive.

I hope you guys are enjoying reading it.
