She thoughts she has won because she shouted at him and filled his ears with rumours from jobless people who made gossiping their daily routine as if they will get millions of money or awards for each rumour they made. Rumours are true, people will not see a fire without smoke, they will never say what they didn't see or happened, the problem is they will add a huge portion of lies to it; five per cent of truths they saw or happened and ninety-five per cent of lies, big lies.

He added, "I didn't even call you out when you bullied Monica before, and now you're pretending to be the victim? You haven't been sick or anything lately—what, you're suddenly too weak to stand?"

The next day he was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer from drinking too much. Afterward, he told me I could always share everything with him as a good friend, because he wasn't interested in women.

“I just want the truth.” He gave a small nod, almost as if he had expected it. “Then ask.” I took a breath that trembled through my chest. “Why did you lie to me?” He looked away. His jaw tightened. For a long second, he didn’t speak, just pressed a hand over his mouth like he was trying to keep his emotions from spilling out. When he finally did, his voice was raw. “Because the truth was ugly,” he said. “And I didn’t want it touching you.”

I want her to join from tomorrow," Sanskar said. "Yes, sir,"Daisy said and exited with Swara. "I know there are more beautiful girls than you but not as pure as you.
