Priya 's Pov
Past in Italics
Continuation.

There comes sowmya.I truly felt happy to see her here.

"Hai"She came and sat beside me.

"Hai"I looked at her and smiled fakely.

"Ah..!"She looked around and looked at me puzzled.

"Tell me Sowmya!"I looked straight into her eyes.

"Priya!"She looks so tensed.

"Sandy didn't keep quiet, She played a pivotal role in this issue" Soumya sighed.

"Really?"I asked quickly.

"Yes"She nodded.

"But why?"I questioned.

"Ahhh...She felt Arjun deceived her because of you.So..."Soumya looked away.

"What exactly you want to say?"I demanded.

"I promised Arjun,I can't say more " She stood and about to walk away.

"Priya"I looked at her.

"He did it for my mom,and Sandy played a wicked role.She went to his mom and told that you just don't deserve him.She made her believe that you were in an another relationship,She truly mistook your intimacy with Pradeep."She finished opening her closed eyes.

"What?"I freaked at her answer.

"Yes"She nodded.

"Is this the thing Arjun hiding from me?"Is asked her soon.

"Yes"She nodded.

"Why didn't he defend her mom? "I asked swallowing all my pain.

"He tried but he couldn't "She sighed.

"Or he too taught the same?"Is looked at her angrily.

"NO,Definitely not!"She nodded her head vigorously.

"Now I came to know why he rejected me"I stood as I truly don't want any explanation more.

"Please,You don't think such.You are mistaken,Arjun loves you with all his heart "Sowmya almost begged.

"Really?"I laughed sarcastically wiping my tears.

"Please don't cry " She hugged me.

"I am dying with guilt please don't cry."Sowmya didn't leave me from his hug.

"Why to feel guilty?"I asked her withdrawing from big warm hug lasted for seconds.

"I am the one who believed it and budged aunty to take an extreme step " She said gazing here and there.

I found some answers,felt like dying.I don't know why Arjun taught such.How could he think like that?Me and Pradeep....I felt something checking in my throat. I am feeling giddy and don't know what happened next...

Half an hour later...

I am on my bed and I am opening my eyes slowly and felt a bit strange to saw the person in front of me.

"Are you fine?"He asked with full of concern.

"Yes"I nodded a bit hesitantly.

"Aunt sent me to look after you " He smiled.

"Oh!"I nodded.

"Yes"He nodded in return.

"Are you okay?"Soumya asked slowly.

"Yeah!"I said turning my head slowly towards her.

"Let us go to home!"He came to me and caught my hand.

"Please " I looked at him pleasingly.

"I don't want to listen your words,I know you are not fine " He tightened his grip over my hand.

"Yes,I too think the same " Soumya said.

"Thanks " He smiled at her.

She just smiled and looked away.

"Ma'm,"Preethi camp in charge came in.

"Hai"I greeted her.

"How are you now?"She asked me soon.

"Fine " I smiled at her.

"I think you should take some rest " She patted my shoulder.

"That's what I am saying " He looked at me with sharp open eyes.

"Okay,I will leave tonight,But just for a couple of days " I looked at them.

"Sure" He smiled ruffling my hair.

"That's good idea " Sowmya too smiled.

"How are you?"Arjun rushed into my room suddenly.

"I am fine " I stammered for a second.

"Who is he?Is he Arjun"Prajwal looked arrest me.

"Yes!"I nodded.

"It's truly a long time,I have been waiting for an year to meet you"Prajwal smiled.

"What?"Arjun looked at me questioning.

"Prajwal,My cousin " I introduced him.

"Oh!So he is the one!"Arjun kept a sulky face.

"Yes,Bro"Prajwal said smiling widely.

"Okay,let us move"Prajwal took my hand into his arms and caught hold of my shoulder and made me stood up.

"Take care " He cautioned me soon I fumbled for a second.

"Sorry I looked away.

"I will drop you at home " Arjun said to Sowmya.

"Thanks,I was about to about to you " she said to him.

We left the room soon....

There was utter silence between us two......
