The Will

Sagrika looked at Doctor Maheshwari hesitantly, now that he had correctly estimated her escape plan, as if she had been caught in a theft. Then she let out a breath she had been holding for a while and said, “I accept every word of yours as the truth. Alright, I will tell you what happened that night. Or rather, two days later.”

Her gaze then drifted towards Arjun, who was standing by her side with his fists balled up, angry at the indignation shown to her but also hesitant because Sagrika seemed to respect Dr.Maheshwari’s authority.

Sagrika smiled feebly at him, trying to tell him that everything was fine, and gestured for him to sit down.
