CHAPTER FIFTEEN

POV: Arnav

The dining table was cleared up, Kriti hadn’t joined us for dinner that evening and almost everyone was suspicious that we’d had a fight. I had to cover up by saying that it was just a headache and I’d given her a painkiller. I had talked to Maa and she was disappointed that I would be moving to Indore alone. I could see that in her face. She had been really quiet after I broke the news to her. But, I knew she would understand. My mind was aimlessly trailing in different directions as I rested on the sofa, when Chhaya Didi interrupted, “Arnav Bhaiya, should I take Kriti Bhabhi’s food to her room?” I was skeptical if she would be alright by now. I covered again, “no, don’t worry. I’m going up now, I’ll take that with me.”

Abhishek Bhaiya looked at me with suspicion, “Bhai, is everything okay between the two of you?”

I nodded, taking my eyes off my phone, “yes Bhaiya, everything’s fine.”
