She was shocked hearing his words. Sitara didn't know why he was accusing her something so cheap she would never even think of in her dreams. His accusing eyes were making her feel anger and sadness at the same time.

"Are you mad? What the hell are you uttering?" She asked him raising her trembling voice.

Frustration was clear in her voice. She was tired. She was so tired of this everyday drama. Maybe, she shouldn't have involved herself into this mess in the first place. She shouldn't have challenged Ekaksh the first day they met. She should have really minded her own business.

But, this poor heart was not ready to see a helpless girl crying and fighting a guy alone.

"Don't act innocent now." He spat stepping closer to her.

Sitara didn't want to explain him anything. She doesn't owe him an explanation in the first place but since, Haya was involved here, she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"Why will I do this? Do you have any proof?" She asked preventing herself from stuttering.

In anger, her voice becomes shaky and so does her whole body.

"Yes, I have." He stated folding his arms. His response shocked her. What proof was he talking about?

"I always knew you are a money minded girl but never imagined you would stoop this low." 

She dug her nails in her palms hearing his venomous words. Yes, he was spitting venom and his motive was to hurt her deeply, in which he was succeeding.

He grabbed her arms and yanked her closer making a gasp left her mouth. The anger in his eyes scared her. His gaze was hollow and he was rapidly clenching and unclenching his jaw as if he was trying to control himself from doing further damage to her.

"Tell me..you are a girl, right? How could you do this to Haya? And you tried to frame my brother..." He gritted near her face. His harsh breath was hitting her face rapidly.

"I..I d-didn't do anything.." Sitara muttered with teary eyes.

His hold tightened around her arms making her wince in pain, but he cared less.

"Obviously.." He chuckled looking at the ceiling. She frowned seeing him laughing like this. "You take me as a fool?" The seriousness in his voice and gaze terrified her but she stood her ground.

"A fool who would trust a classless gi--"

"And you take me as? A BITCH? A LIAR?" She shouted pushing him away.

He was not expecting this and so he was taken aback hearing her loud voice. She was glaring at him with tears still sliding down her cheeks. She kept pushing on his chest with anger and tears pooling in her eyes.

"EVERY SINGLE DAY..."

She pushed him again.

"You accuse me of something which I never commited. What do you think of yourself, haa?" Her throat dried after shouting continuously and she muttered looking up at him with her tired red eyes.

Ekaksh didn't know what to say. He was shocked seeing this side of her. Suddenly, he was tongue tied. He had so much to say but then for some reasons, he couldn't find himself forming words.
