Reaction of my readers to Praniti after the last part-
Woman!, we love you and now for GOD'S SAKE DON'T MAKE US HATE YOU!!!!!! "
Lol, I'm getting some kind of sadistic pleasure 😜😝
So before you ppl chop me into pieces and then throw them down the drain, let's get back to the story 😁

"You'll pay for this. I'll make you. You were so wrong. "Praniti's words boomed like thunders in Samaira's ears. She couldn't take it anymore. She jolted right up and her arm hit on a glass beside, making it fall on the floor and shatter into a hundred pieces.
Beads of sweat travelled all over her body. Her heart was thumping so vigorously that she felt it might dismantle the rib cage and pop out.

She held her head tightly in anguish. She saw Praniti in blood and flesh, voicing out the thoughts that laid deep down inside her heart.
"It's just a dream. It's just a dream. "Samaira murmured to herself nervously.

"But, isn't that right? "she could hear her subconscious whispering artfully.

She did not know what was happening with her. Everything became a daze. Praniti's words kept ringing in her mind in a low, mysterious voice. She tightened the grip on her head and leaned on the headrest, gathering her knees to her chin.

After a short while, she found the room being illuminated. She looked at the door to find Ayush staring at her quizzically, his fingers on the switchboard.

He rushed and sat down by her side, his unfaltering gaze fixed firmly on her.He slowly touched her shoulders with concern written all over his face.
"What happened? Head ache? "he asked warily, trying to get a good look at her face.

"This is wrong. This should not happen. No. "she muttered involuntarily.

"What is wrong? What happened to you? "he was confused.

"Ayush, I should not do it."

"What are you talking about? "

"What we're doing is wrong. I don't want to cheat Praniti,Ayush!You shouldn't love me. "she said slowly and stoically.

Ayush pulled his hand away as darkness engulfed his face. His expression slowly changed its shades into that of anger.

He stood up and stayed rooted on the floor near her.
"Then why did you marry me?Why didn't you think about it then? "he asked blandly.
"Don't think like this, Samaira. It will not help in making things better."he stated, looking intently at her.

"But am I not cheating her, Ayush? How can I marry my best friend's husband and live happily? What will she be thinking about me, sitting up there? That diary... It must've been her mood swings. "she said as slowly her eyes filled with tears.

"Samaira,mood swings doesn't make someone completely crazy. If she have written that note and handed over it to you, she knew something was going to go wrong. And you know what? She didn't give it to me,not her parents, but you. Why?Because she trusted you more than anyone else. She thought that you will fulfill her last wish. Why can't you understand this simple logic? And do you think it's easy for me to love someone else? For your kind information, it was hard like hell."he was slowly losing his temper.
Samaira did not look at him. Was he not right?

"But.. "she wanted to tell something but she didn't know what to say. Slowly, she could see her insecurities fading away.

"But!!!I don't want to hear a but. If you're still doubting Praniti,it proves that you have never understood her.Your friendship was never true. "he said loudly.
