[59] The Lies

It was a bright day with sun at it's peak, birds chirping in delight and fresh air roaming around.

Sakshi had just woke up with an unsettling feeling in her heart. Her wound on the shoulder had healed and she had called her Bhabhi, telling her that she was coming home with her brother only. Sakshi smiled remembering how happy she was to know that.

But her heart was unsettled because this morning, she didn't find any miss calls from Shrey.

It was eight in the morning and she had bathed already. Aditi had gone out to jog an hour before and still hadn't returned just like always. She would take time to relax her abs, drink some almond milk on the way and bring one packet for her too.

The bell rang immediately, making her smile. Just now when she was thinking about her. This girl was going to live for thousands of years.

She left the gallery and entered into her room, crossing the drawing room to reach the door. Twisting the knob, she opened the door only to feel her smile fading at the sight of the person she couldn't afford to see now.

Brown eyes filled her sight, the dark circles under them started to bother her even more. She couldn't understand who was suffering the most at this time. Why did it hurt her to see him like this with pain in his eyes and anger on his nose?

"You hide about this fiance from me. Then, when I get angry about it, you are the one not even calling me for explanations," asked Shrey, staring at her while entering inside making her step back.

He closed the door after him, making her raise her eyebrows. "Is this how a relationship works, Sakshi?"

Relationship? Sakshi gulped hard, looking at him in pain. "The one you broke by not giving me a chance to speak and leaving me alone," she said, not caring about the tone that had raised.

Shrey's eyes formed a glare as he carefully took steps ahead. "Wasn't a big mistake comparing to you hiding about your fiance from your boyfriend."

Sakshi blinked, stopping when he halted and glared at her. "It wasn't worse than pretending to love me like you did those years ago," she said, feeling like a fool for bringing things up from the past.

Shrey chuckled darkly, his eyes turning glossy when he saw her all calm and determined. "So, how is this going to be? Are you going to explain things only when I would officially ask you about it?"

Sakshi lowered her eyes, her heart fluttering hard. No, this wasn't the plan. Shrey sounded like he would hear her and wanted to help this situation. She didn't want to get back to the mess.

"No. I am not going to explain anything. Because you weren't there when I wanted you to listen. . ."

Shrey's eyes softened at seeing the pain in her eyes. "That angry with me?" He walked ahead, tried to hold her hand when she stepped back and crossed her arms. He felt hurt and whispered, "We should skip all these egoistic conversations and reach the moment where we are against this problem together."

"What problem?" Sakshi asked him angrily.

His lips parted as he blinked. "The professor. Even your family has ideas about planning to marry you to him. Then, we need to handle that."

"How are you going to handle that?"

The question was clear but Shrey couldn't give a clear answer. The words formed in his mouth but never escaped. He was mature enough to not brag about it. Because he knew, marriage was life long commitment. But he did have dreams of them marrying each other and have a future together.
