Saanvi's eyes flickered between her friends and then to that one person who had been quiet.

Saanvi knew that the person wasn't someone who kept their views to themselves.

Saanvi said changing the subject, "Leave about me, Lhaze what was that?"

Everyone's eyes turned on Lhaze who's eyes widened, she asked in her defense, "What?"

Bangtan chuckled noticing saanvi trying to change the subject and succeeding in it.

Saanvi released a breath of relief as she noticed the attention was now on Lhaze.

Saanvi continued, "I always knew that the quietest one will someday turn their murderous intentions into reality"

Lhaze's eyes widened, and she defended, "What do you mean by murderous intentions? It's called defense"

Saanvi said ignoring the former's defensive response, "From where do you get inspiration? Rapunzel?"

Lhaze opened her mouth to reply back but her lips made a thin line.

Everyone's eyes widened with the passing second, Gammi chucked asking, "You actually took inspiration from Rapunzel?"

She chuckled and Lhaze said, "What? It's my favorite Disney character"

Pirbom sassily teased, "Okay we get it Princess Rapunzel" Everyone giggled along with that one person.

Saanvi sighed in relief after noticing that one person again getting involved in the chat.

Gammi got a call so she went to attend it, Sarah wanted some help with her studies so she took Pooja with her. Pirbom and Lhaze went to look at Pirbom's new purchase. Binita noticed where Saanvi's attention was so she left in her room after giving Saanvi a positive pat.

Saanvi took a deep breath as she observed that the other person was so deeply in her thoughts that she didn't realize the room was empty.

The other person felt that the cushion surface of the sofa beside her was weighted down by someone's presence.

"Amrita" Saanvi called out, sensing what she must be going through.

Amrita moved her eyes in the room then her hazel eyes again landed on Saanvi.

"Amrita" Saanvi again said, she tried to sound as soft as she could at the moment.

Amrita asked, "How's your cut?" Her hands rubbing around her waist as she hugs herself.

Saanvi's eyes noticed the action but didn't point it out. Saanvi reassuringly raised her hand to put it on Amrita's shoulder but Amrita's involuntary flinch made her take her hand back.

Saanvi said, "If you allow me, can I hug you?" Amrita's eyes widened.

But before Amrita could react Saanvi hugged her, Saanvi rubbed Amrita's back even though Saanvi's cut was aching a little she neglected it.

Saanvi whispered enough for Amrita to hear, "You can let it out. Trust me you'll feel better"

Within a few seconds, Amrita wrapped her hands around Saanvi's back, her warm tears wetting Saanvi's shoulder.

Saanvi whispered some comfort words to Amrita after sometimes Amrita's sobs were replaced by her sober breathing.

Saanvi got separated from Amrita and they both sat in silence. The awkward silence eating them up.

The therapist of the group cried today, Saanvi asked after gathering courage, "You want to say anything?"

Amrita shook her head in denial, Saanvi nodded and stood up she said, "Okay then I'll go"
