The moment they heard that Megha was inside, the people outside quickly called for more hands to get them out of the elevator as soon as possible. It seemed that they were very anxious as well.
Someone outside hastily said, "Alright, alright. Don't get anxious. We'll get someone to fix the elevator immediately. Mrs. Kapoor, do you feel suffocated inside?"
"I don't feel suffocated, but it's definitely hotter here than it is outside."
"Ma'am, please wait a moment. We've already informed your company staff."
The people outside quickly called Gautam to inform him while the rest of them stayed behind to continue the rescue operation.
Shreya turned around to look at Megha. "It's all your fault. Everything is your fault!"
Megha looked at her. "I can understand that you don't want to lose Gautam. But stop lying to yourself, alright? Gautam is no longer the Gautam of the past. He's a married man and he no longer loves you."
"Ha. You mean that he loves you since he doesn't love me anymore?" Shreya looked at her as if she was about to go mad.
"We are getting married in just handful days."
"Pft. Stop living in your delusions. He is not going to marry you. I'm going to be the mother of his child, of course he'll marry me."
"Shreya, you can't demand for a person's heart. These are emotions. Our marriage may have been a mere contractual one in the beginning. However, we truly want to be together right now. So I hope that you won't keep bothering us, alright? You're not even that old anyway. You'll still be the rich and beautiful, even after giving birth to a child. You'll be able to get any man you want!"
"No!" Shreya shouted loudly, "I want Gautam but I can't have him. He's already in your hands now, so of course, you can say that. But there's only one Gautam. Do you think you would still fall for someone else if you left Gautam? No, you wouldn't. If that happened, you would only become crazier and angrier than I am now!"
Megha jolted. She had indeed thought about it before. Whether she would fall in love with anyone else if she no longer had Gautam.
Yes, she would not.
She looked at Shreya. "I may not fall in love with anyone else. But at the very least, I can still love myself a little more and treat myself better. Even if I won't fall in love with anyone else for the rest of my life, I won't humiliate myself like this. I won't let myself be stuck in the past. Even if I'm all alone, I will still look towards the future and not stay in the same place."
Shreya sneered. "You won't understand how I feel because you've never lost anything. All of you have forced me into madness. Gautam forced me to become like this!"
