The continuous sobbing had now melted all their hearts. Aditi was looking at Aarush while Aarush was glaring at the floor as Sakshi cried her heart out.
"He manhandled me, closed my mouth," she explained with horror in her eyes. "His eyes were not of a professor. He looked like a molester. A serial rapist. I was so scared. . ."
Aditi gulped while shakily rubbing her back. Sakshi drank the water they provided her as she further told, "When I slapped him, I thought it would bring some sense into him. But he has only gotten provoked. He thinks about our wedding night and fucking me, abusing me."
Aarush's lips parted, his jaws clenched just as he digested all the words.
"You should have slapped him again. How could you hear so much?" Aditi scolded while hugging her sideways.
Sakshi closed her eyes, "Bhabhi was right. If I won't ask Shrey about marriage any soon, I would get trapped badly with this molester. Tai ji isn't listening and Bhai doesn't find any reason to reject him."
"Maybe, you should tell everything to Shrey. This thing is getting out of hands. Otherwise, your sister-in-law wouldn't have sounded so worried," suggested Aarush while blinking.
"But how?" Sakshi shook her head. "His case solved just days ago. His uncle is sick, in a critical condition. On top of that, his cousin is wanting to get married. He is in the waiting list then how would Shrey even consider this. His parents won't be able to handle the news if they got to know, it's me. Rathore's sister."
Aarush twitched his lips. "Oh! Come on! That's upon, Shrey. What choices do you have then? Tell me. Do you want to get married to that Dexter? You need to tell Shrey everything. It's the only way."
Sakshi stared far at the wall, founding that scented candle the professor had gifted her. Her jaws clenched immediately as she got up and reached that shelf, throwing that candle away, stepping on it with anger in her eyes.
"Fucking monster!" She cried.
"Sakshi! You should tell everything to Shrey," Aditi said as Aarush elbowed her to say it to their lost friend.
Sakshi breathed heavily while looking at them. She gulped before nodding, "Okay-"
The bell rang immediately.
All their eyes moved at each other, and then both the girls looked at Aarush, making him shake his head. "I didn't call him, I swear. It's just coincidence or maybe, someone else."
Sakshi gulped, before turning towards the door. She closed her eyes and finally opened the door, founding the love of her life standing there. Her eyes brightening at the sight of him.
Not able to control anymore, she hugged him immediately, making him control the balance as he wrapped his arms around her reluctantly.
"I missed you so much. So much," she sobbed.
Shrey's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at her friends questioningly who only got up and nodded. "We are in our bedroom only. Sakshi will tell you everything," said Aarush while taking Aditi with him, who looked interested in watching the drama.
The door closed while Shrey entered inside, he closed the door after him when Sakshi pulled away. His lips parted at seeing her face.
Her whole face was red, eyes bloodshot. "Shrey," she wept slowly.
"What happened?" He asked lowly, afraid that her exam didn't go well or something worse. He was here to cry his heart out instead something had already happened.
