Heartbroken.

Salem stepped into the room at the right minute. Everyone bought their story except Priyanka. She knew that Karan was lying. Why did they not see it? 

They had dinner without Salem and Karan. The guys claimed they had already eaten together at a restaurant before coming back to the house.

After dinner, she read a few stories with Aanya. The little girl slept off in her arms. Priyanka watched her closely. She was so beautiful. For the first time, she thought of kids in her life. They were lovely. Why did Karan say no to babies? Was he crazy? Aanya alone was more than gold and diamond put together. 

"Priya," Aunt Saraswati called. She noticed that she had been sitting in that position for hours. "You should put Aanya to bed. Also, go and see Karan. He did not come downstairs at all.

"Okay, aunt" she shifted to the edge of the seat with Aanya in her arms. Priyanka got up and went to the room. She placed the little girl and sat beside her.
