I came back to my home.I am hiding my tears.I saw mom there sitting in the hall.I don't want to look at her.I.know I can resist my tears once I see her.I went to my room straight away with out a word but somewhere I felt mom is not well.What can I do I need sometime.I hugged a pillow burried my head in it started crying.I have been crying all the night.It was f c.f. fftttka h t gthe worst night of my life.I lost my love.I felt gloomy.Its hard to digest the rejection.Don't know why still a part of me loves Arjun.Why?I hate myself for this yet I love him......

"Priya"Mom called gloomly.

"Mom"I went to her and hugged her.

"What had happened mom?"I asked her with concern.

"I was looking a Groom for you"She said slowly.

I felt angry at her words first yet controlled myself and looked at her,My heartbeat skipped for a second,She is crying.I felt helpless all of sudden.I dragged her towards me and hugged her again.

"Tell me ,Mom.What had happened?"I asked her wiping her tears.

"They called you characterless"She spoke slowly with gulit filled eyes.

"Mom"I hugged her again.

"They called you were having an affair with some guy"She is sobbing.

"Mom"I wiped her tears and felt extremely depressed.

"Pradeep..."She stammered.

"What?"I freaked at her.

"They told you were having an affair with Pradeep"She looked so pale.

"Soumya..."I looked at her.

"I know but they didn't listen at all"She is still sobbing.

"Why are you crying mom,You know me right?!"I asked her agian.

"Dear"She hugged me.

"Let them bark"I smiled with difficulty.

"But...."She is crying hard.

"I know..."I patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry"I reassured her.

I consoled her with lot of difficulty but somehow made asleep.

I took my phone and started calling Sowmya.

Sowmya lifted my call luckily.

"Sou.."I said instantly.

"You decieved me"She freaked at me.

"What?"I felt very sad.

"Yes,You were having an affair with Pradeep.You cheated all of us."She spoke very harshly.

"Sou....You can't say that.You are my best friend"I spelt slowly.

"My bestfriend cheated me"She said stubbornly.

"Please"I truly don't know what to say.

"I lost her"She cut the call abruptly.

I lost my love.I lost my best friend.I lost my selfrespect.

Is there anything else that you can afford to lose?I looked at my reflection in the mirror.I am dead.I have to live for my mom.I went to mom and slept in her lap.Worm tears are rolling over my cheek.We have no one to support and console us.It just we,We both......
