Chapter 10

Mansi kept looking around her in horror at the people there. They were giving her looks of disgust and disbelief, some even hiding their kids.

She raised a shaky hand and covered her mouth. However, she knew it was useless.

The damage was already done. Whatever she shouldn't have said, was already out in the open. Neither could she take her words back, nor could she call the speaker a liar, as it was she herself. 'I dug my own grave. How could I be so stupid!? Damn it!'

"That wasn't so tough to admit now, was it?" Nikhil taunted.

"You! It's all your fault!" Mansi accused.

"Well, self-appraisal has never been in my nature. But if you insist, then I'll gladly take the blame."

"It wasn't a compliment you jerk!" from the corner of her eyes, she saw Laksh looking towards her with wide eyes

"It wasn't a compliment you jerk!" from the corner of her eyes, she saw Laksh looking towards her with wide eyes.

Mansi reverted back to her weeping state and went to stand before him. "Laksh? Laksh please listen to me once. I di-"

"You...you killed him?"

"Laksh liste-"

"Your own husband? You killed your own husband!?"

Mansi grabbed onto Laksh's arm and cried as hard as she could. "Laksh please listen to me once!"

Laksh removed his hand from her hold. "And you even wouldn't hesitate to kill Mishka? That...that innocent little girl?!"

"Let me explain Lak-"

"Explain what!? The fact that you purposefully trapped me?! Made me believe that I killed Abhimanyu?! How could you!?"

"Laksh, it wasn't my fault! He wouldn't buy me the flat I wanted. I have my wishes, my own desires!"

"That doesn't give you the right to kill anyone!"
