CHAPTER 15 : THE CULPRIT

Y/n's pov

anger . disgust . pure hate .

It's what I'm truly feeling right now , towards the person who was once an important part of my omma's life. That person never deserved an angel like my mother. Omma adored her , that woman was once one of those people whom she loved the most. That woman was her best friend .High school best friend.

But everything was one sided.

All the efforts , the friendship, the trust.

Maybe omma realised it too late. She realised it after being hurt that her best friend was not her best friend, she was just another toxic person in her life.

I looked at the picture in my hand that fell from the diary which was inside omma's box. There stood three high school friends with their hands on each other's shoulders , smiling ear to ear.
They looked like the happiest people ever.

But then the jealousy , selfishness and greed of one of them destroyed their friendship. Oh did I told you that one of those three friends was my dad himself. He liked omma and she liked him back as well. What was the problem then ?
The problem was -that woman liked my dad as well. No , dad don't know about it till now . He's not aware that his second wife liked him since high school. But it wasn't affection at all , it was her greed and selfishness. She wanted to have him for herself despite knowing that he's already in love with someone else. And that someone else was her best friend.

So she decided to break them apart. She succeeded. The high school sweethearts broke up because of the misunderstandings she created. She thought that she can have him for herself now , he will be hers. But to her disappointment, it never happened. So , she resented omma.That's how the story of three insperable friends ended. And omma was hurt , she lost two precious people whom she adored the most.But by the end of the high school, dad approached omma again. He wanted to clear the things because he couldn't forget her. That effort didn't go in vain , they started anew . They were in love madly.

I closed the journal , putting it back inside the box as it is. I leaned on the chair closing my eyes. But my mind was stuck at one question only- Why did dad married that woman out of all people ? After all that happened, why her?

After reading my mother's diary , I got to know that she couldn't hate her ex best friend for even once. She always had been that kind of person. She even kept her pics , their high school memories safe with her.

" Back to earth y/n" someone snapped their fingers in front of me , breaking the chains of thoughts I looked up finally.

" Eunwoo " I muttered in a low voice but enough for him to hear his name. He looked at my face and his smile was immediately replaced by a frown.

" hey, is there something wrong? Why are you looking so pale ? " he raised his brows. I shooked my head while looking away. He didn't say anything but I know he's not convinced . He crouched down at my level and took one of my hands in his. I flinched at his touch but I kept looking down .

" Y/n you know I'm always here for you , right? You can tell me if something is bothering you?" He asked very softly while caressing my hand. I finally looked at him and a lone tear escaped my eyes. " I don't know Eunwoo, I feel so lost" I stated.

" you can tell me " he said while wiping the tears that were staining my cheeks. So I told him . I poured everything out that's been bothering me for two days.

" How can someone be so heartless and selfish" - it was the first sentence that left his mouth after hearing everything.

" But something doesn't add up , why did she appeared suddenly out of nowhere after your mother's death? Why did your father married her out of all people? Isn't it strange?" He pointed out. I sighed, it's not only me , he also thinks it's strange .

" It's been bothering me also. I never heard of her from my parents and then she suddenly appears out of the blue after so many years. Why?" I said .
He looked at me and opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. It looked like he's thinking something deeply.

" Y/n I don't know why but I think she's very suspicious. This can't just be a coincidence when she was completely obsessed with your father. " he finally said in a serious tone.

"What do you mean?" I asked not understanding what he's trying to say.

" Maybe she has something to do with your mother's death. I'm not sure but I've this feeling " he stated. I couldn't say anything , I was comprehending everything he was saying. And suddenly everything started making sense.

" Remember , you said that only those men were arrested. The real culprit who hired them was never found. You were trying so hard to find the person behind all this!" He stated what just clicked in my mind and I looked towards him with wide eyes.

" No...it can't be" I muttered.

" Y/n you need to confirm this , she had a perfect reason for doing this . Why do you think she came into your lives out of nowhere!?" Eunwoo pointed. It was so much to take in . How can she do this to us!? Why did I never doubted her? How could I not know that I was living with the real culprit under the same roof !? Why....why did she have to do this !?

" Why? Why....did she do this to us? I lost my omma , my best friend because of her ! If t-this is true , then she had to pay for it . I'll make her regret it for her entire fucking life!" I yelled as my fists balled tightly. I was more than infuriated at this realisation. The rage inside me didn't know any barriers at this point.

" I'm gonna kill her with my fucking hands " I spatted as I stood up from the bench. I turned around to dash towards rooftop door but Eunwoo wrapped his fingers on my wrist and pulled me back immediately.

" Y/n you aren't in your right mind right now! Don't even try to do something stupid because you're angry right now!" He yelled holding my shoulders .

" yes I'm fucking angry. I'm seeing red right now, just let me go!" I yelled back.

" No y/n , I'm not letting you anywhere right now. You need to calm down and think of a way to find evidence, okay! " he said with a straight face.

" What if we can't find anything? That means she'll roam around freely as if nothing happened huh!?" I hissed.

" No there must be something! We'll think of a way okay. You need to calm down first , let's go home for now okay " he said rather softly this time. I just nodded without saying any other word. He's right I can't do anything stupid. We need an evidence to prove her crime. My omma won't be happy if I'll do something stupid because of anger.
