Sometimes the hardest truths are the ones we keep hidden, not out of fear but because we love too deeply to see them break the ones we hold close.

Preeta's pov:

I don't know why, but that hunch is not letting me ignore anything! What all happened in these six months is unbearable, and I know it, but why is no one letting me in on it? I want to know what happened to Karan—what he went through while I lay unconscious.

I can't live normally now; it's tough! After that night, my life changed completely, and six months passed with my eyes closed and without any senses. It feels unfair that Karan is now involved in all this mess because of me. Why can't he tell me now?

He left the room when I asked him, just walking away as if my question was too much to bear! No one came inside the ward for an hour, and I sat there, crying, consumed by thoughts of how miserable I am and how I've made their lives so occupied and hellish.

"Preeta..." I shifted my gaze to the person calling my name.

"Kartik??" I wasn't prepared to meet him or face his presence.

"I know you weren't expecting me, but here I am, fulfilling my responsibilities." He sat on the stool, not before inclining my bed to bring us closer.

"How are you?" I questioned, feeling his stare fixed on me, as if searching for something on my face.

"What?" I said after his long silence, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

"I am sure I am not the person on the hospital bed, nor was I in a coma for six months. Right now, I am not the one who is weak and old to take care of myself!"

"I am weak, but I am younger than you, stupid... and I was asking out of concern! So better answer me than get on to me like everyone else. My voice rose with every word as frustration spilled over, all this because of Karan. The anger felt misplaced, but it was the only thing I could hold onto.

"Whoa, whoa, my darling... calm down. Why is your brain burning like fire? Tell me, who did this to you?"

"Arhhh... it's all him! He is not ready to tell me anything—"

"What is he not telling you, and what have you asked him?"

"I just asked him about his condition in these six months! I want to know what the hell happened during all this time, but he just walked away as I asked." He chuckled at my outburst, and I sighed, feeling my resolve weaken as frustration pooled in my chest.

"Silly girl, why are you bothering so much now when it's all over?"

"No, it's not over, and it will not be!" I insisted, my heart pounding with the weight of unanswered questions. The thought of Karan suffering in silence gnawed at me.

"Okay, but now what should I do to calm your anger down? Because the trio is actually handling the biggest client for their new project, and it's basically for investment, as much as I talked with Priyanka."

"Let them be busy, but now you are going to tell me what all happened in these six months. And also, who caught the molesters? It was you if I'm not wrong!"
