Chapter-39, the heartbreak...

The betrayal stole the remaining air from her lungs. She felt suffocated. Her heartbeat raced so rapidly. She felt devastated. Around her, the ballroom continued unraveling those pages. The crowd contined to question them, while whispering and shock evident on their faces. But Elara barely heard any of it.Because suddenly none of that mattered. Noone existed for her to matter. Because only Lily mattered.Only the look in her eyes. It was cold and unapologetic as if she had no resentment for whatever she did. She looked very certain, as if she was very adamant to her decisions and she was fully aware of whatever she did. Suddenly, everything became clear of it own. Way more clear to hurt. Those copies of her diary entries being circulated among people who were so unrelated to it just because, to humiliate her. To downgrade her before everyone. Those strangers looking at those pages as if her emotions were a piece of joke or amusement for them. It had never been an accident. It

Chapter-40, The whispers.

The Winter gala ended long before it should have ended, leaving everyone astonished at the same time. The People gathered started murmuring more about Elara than the event.Everyone seeks attention in their life, to be the centre of others discussion once in while. But Elara didn't. She never wanted to get noticed by others and especially for something like this. However, everyone thought that Elara crave attention, that's why she did this intentionally. But noone could understand that Elara was as oblivious as them. It was someone else who tried to play with her emotions and tried to defame her, but noone could understand her agony. Everyone just took pleasure in others' misery. In a matter of time, her hardwork for this event gone in vain. Still, the music played somewhere softly in the background as the waiters continued serving dinner. This time, it was the school's reputation which was injured, so they did whatever they could to divert other’s attention. But only as if it was as

Chapter-41, the weight of silence.

The campus was unchanged. The same old stone pathways wound between the academic buildings. The same bell echoed across the courtyard. Students hurried from one lecture hall to another with coffee cups in their hands and unfinished conversations following behind them.Only Elara felt different.She walked through those corridors with measured steps, clutching the strap of her bag a little tighter than usual. Sleep had abandoned her long before dawn, leaving behind heavy eyes and an aching heart. The gala had ended few days ago yet it already felt like a distant nightmare that refused to release its grip.As she crossed the courtyard, familiar voices drifted through the crisp morning air. They stopped the moment she approached.It wasn’t deliberate cruelty. It was something more than that. It was hesitation. Earlier, atleast noone hesitated to approach her but now, people looked awkwardly distant. Students lowered their voices and exchanged uncertain glances, then looked away as if pr

Chapter-42, the loneliness...

Across campus, Charlie stood beneath the old oak tree waiting for Lily to pick her for home. When she approached, he noticed how exhausted she looked. According to Charlie, Lily suffered the most. Her eyes had lose the spark and happiness after that incident. She looked deeply affected and puzzled. Little did he know, how great actress she was. “You didn’t have to come,” he said quietly, I was coming to your classroom anyway. “I wanted to.” For a while they simply walked. Neither seemed eager to break the silence. He didn't want to hurt Lily more after whatever happened. He was very concerned for her. He had never imagined anyone except her and she meant so much to him. Finally Charlie decide to spoke. “I keep thinking about that night." Lily lowered her gaze in dejection. They were holding hands, still her eyes were staring at the grasses beneath her shoes. Charlie could sense her saddeness so as a gesture, his hands tightened more around her fingers giving a sign of assura

Chapter-43, her inner turmoil...

The drive to home felt endless. It felt like roads had became longer overnight. Or Elara was so drown in the turmoil of her thoughts that she couldn't sense the time properly. This happens when you lose everything at the same time and you couldn't find any ways to stop it. Elara lost Charlie, her reputation, her people everything, just because of that diary. She couldn’t stop thinking about the look people gave her. Earlier she could sense people pitying her, but now she felt people feeling sick around her. She felt so helpless and devastated, thinking that noone could help me as everyone disbelief her. She had noone at her side. Presently, Elara sat beside the bus window, her suspension letter folded neatly inside her bag, its crisp edges pressing against the worn fabric like a constant reminder that none of this had been a nightmare. It was all real. So real to make anyone cry. Her head was filled with so much thoughts but the world outside from the window felt unbothered. Life ke

Chapter-44, Victoria’s indifference.

Elara lowered her eyes in shame as she had no words to justify her acts. There was no point of saying anything or explaining anything. Even telling her mother, that Lily’s was the one who stolen it and humiliated her before hundreds of people. The truth was simple but harsh. They would never believe her as for them, Lily was their favourite kid. A victim in every disguise, rather Elara was a villian. After a while, she decided to speak. Because people perceive your silence as your acceptance. Silence as your weakness. She would anyway be lost but atleast she will fight for what is right. “I never wanted her to find out like that," Elara reasoned like that. Though Lily already knew about Elara's emotions and, she decided to create a mockery of that before so many people, but then also she never planned to steal Charlie from Lily. Elara could never do that to her little sister. But may be she was the only one who are fulfilling her responsibilities as a sister. Those sisterly emotio

Chapter-45, Elara's breakdown...

Elara looked up. For once, just for once she wanted her mother to believe her. She wanted her to assure, that no matter what the world says she believed her daughter. But it couldn’t happen in this life? Because Elara was already a villian in their stories. “What?”“You expect me to believe someone secretly entered your room, stole your diary, copied pages from it, distributed them at the gala, and vanished without anyone seeing anything.”“Because that’s exactly what happened.”Victoria closed her eyes briefly and shook her head in disbelief. “Lily never blamed you.”Elara felt something inside her chest tighten. She felt suffocated now as she don’t know how to establish her truth. She knew how manipulative Lily can be. Firstly, She had stolen Elara's private diary and then distributed those pages before everyone and made her a evil person. Secondly, she took sympathy from everyone, now people think she was emotionally injured in all of this. Still, Elara didn't want to blame her.

Chapter-46, the empty chair...

The university had finally begun taking the gala apart. It been few days already from the event. The grand stage that had shimmered few night ago, now stood stripped of its elegance. The workers carefully folded the velvet curtains that had framed the evening’s performances, while volunteers gathered scattered decorations into cardboard boxes marked for storage. Bouquets that had looked breathtaking beneath the chandeliers had already begun to wilt, their petals curling softly at the edges as though beauty, too, had an expiry date. The excitement was over and now only the paperwork remained. Inside the conference hall, faculty members and student representatives had gathered for the final post-event review. It was the last responsibility before the gala could officially be declared a success. The reports had to be compiled. The sponsorship accounts had to finalize and expenditure records had to submitted to the university administration. Everything should have been ordinary like

Chapter-47, the rain remembers everything...

Elara’s pov...It been quite some days since I am suspended from school and been inside the home. Today, I decided to go outside because I could no longer breathe inside itThe walls had begun memorizing my silence. Every room seemed to echo with things I could not change—the suspension letter tucked inside my drawer, my mother’s disappointed eyes, the empty space where my diary used to be. Staying there felt like sitting inside the ruins of a life that had belonged to someone else.So I decide walked out. I didn’t choose a destination. I simply followed the wet pavement beneath a sky that had been threatening rain since morning. The air smelled of approaching storms, and the wind carried that familiar coldness that usually made me reach for my phone to check whether I had an umbrella.Today I hadn’t brought one. Maybe some part of me wanted to get drenched in rain and cried out loud with the thunders of rain so that noone could hear me weeping. May this rain absorb all my pain away,

Chapter-48, the old bookstore.

The rain showed no mercy. It kept pouring steadily over the empty streets, washing away footprints as quickly as they were made, as though the world itself wished to erase every trace of those who wandered it.Elara kept walking. She no longer knew where she was going. Her soaked shoes slapped weakly against the pavement while icy water clung to her clothes, making every step heavier than the last. Her fingers had gone numb long ago, yet she welcomed the cold.Atleast, it hurted less than her heart. Inside her chest, it pained so hard like sharp needles piercing into the skin. The only difference was she wasn't bleeding, but the pain was vividly the same. The city had begun disappearing behind a curtain of rain. The streetlights glowed like blurred stars, their reflections trembling in puddles scattered across the road.Her breathing had become uneven. She felt suffocated. The ache in her chest wasn't from the cold.It was from remembering Charlie and her. The moment they shared toge
