"She looked hurt." Purab said as we began to walk back to our respective rooms.

"So am I." I recalled what happened again and sighed painfully.

"Because she slept with Jay?" He asked, his gaze turned towards me even when we were walking

"She didn't." I gritted the words out of my teeth. I know that for sure. But I couldn't blame Purab for thinking that, he didn't know about the time and things we shared. Even when there were no words spoken, there was a silent commitment.

"Then why did you ask her if she did?" He asked, looking at me like I was crazy. Which I too had begun to believe that I was

"I- I don't know."I confessed."Now stop asking me questions."

"You don't trust her." He declared, almost disappointed.

"I do, but I just needed to hear the words. I just needed to hear it. " I tried to explain.

"Because you don't trust her." He said again, now disapproval all over his face.

"If I didn't trust her, I wouldn't have wanted to listen to what she had to say. I just wanted her to say something, anything. So that I could have handle the situation accordingly."I said, desperately trying to make sense of my own words and feelings.

"What if she did sleep with him?"  He asked yet another question.

"You sure ask a lot of questions, don't you?" I remarked."She didn't, not now anyway. But, I don't know what happened before all of this. I do trust her, Purab."

"Then you should have taken a  stand for her." He said yet again.

"I know." My steps halted and I stopped walking. "I made a mistake."

"Then correct it." He ordered.

"It's not that easy." We were almost by the doors of our rooms now.

"I'm sure. Letting her go must be easier than making it right. Sure, let's go. The ceremony starts soon." Purab says and pats my back.

"You're right, I'll do something." I remarked and he shook his head with a faint smile.

I got ready in a faint peach embroidered kurta and white salwar. And there was still some time for the ceremony to start. I sat on the bed of my room to try to absorb what all happened. This was crazy. And too top that, I was taking advise from Purab. This has to be my lowest point in my life.

I have even managed to upset Yana, the one girl who I could never imagine not being happy. And she was crying today. Because of Jay, and because of me. My gut clenched at the thought of someone molesting Yana. Or even hurting her. This wasn't good. I should have said something, did something. But I didn't know the entire story. I didn't know what happened between Yana and Jay in the past. And the accusations made my blood freeze, it was as if everything I  thought of Yana in the beginning was suddenly all true.

And the worst part was that it didn't matter.
