The room erupts into chaos.
Auntie's face turns red with rage. "You're lying! Rahul would never—"
Mom's eyes well up with tears. "Evara, why didn't you tell us?"
Dad's voice booms. "This is nonsense! You're ruining family bonds."
Rahul's eyes dart around, guilt and fear etched on his face.
I stand firm, my voice steady. "I'm not lying. It happened."
The argument escalates, with Auntie and Dad denying the truth.
Mom's tears fall, her expression torn.
"I believe you, Evara," she whispers, her voice barely audible.
Auntie storms out, Rahul following.
The dinner table lies shattered, relationships fractured.
In the aftermath, an uncomfortable silence settles.
Mom's eyes meet mine, a mixture of sadness and determination.
"We'll deal with this, Evara. Together."
Dad's expression remains stern.
"I need time to process," he says, exiting the room.
I'm left alone, uncertain about the future.
