"The way you flipped and turned against me , it shows you never loved me." The moment she had said it , he felt his throat go dry. For a moment he felt the cup from his hand will fall since his entire core had shaken. But boy he wasn't ready to give up. He cannot let her see that, one sentence from her and he was shattered. He was not ready to show his vulnerability , not now , when she had just questioned the very existence of his feelings.

He retreated back into the house maintaining the same face that he had while speaking to her and sat on the single couch in the indoor jungle.

She moved to washroom passing through the indoor jungle taking a look at him from the corner of her eyes. She felt nothing but empty. Two days of the task and endless fight and she still hadn't sat and pondered over whatever he had told her in his fit of rage. Honestly she was scared to even recall what all he had said. Starting from calling her unfair to labelling her care as daily soap and her emotions and outburst as a stunt for camera. Before she knew , she was already in the luggage area and involuntarily opened her mic and moved to the ladies washroom bumping into Pratik on the way.

Pratik was about to say something but refrained seeing her hollow eyes. He looked back at her retreating figure until she closed the washroom door.

As soon as she closed the door and finally found herself alone in the washroom, she slid down on the floor putting her head into her knees.

She didn't even know when her silent tears had turned into sobs as she felt all the feelings she was trying to fight for two days was finally falling apart.

"How could he?" she covered her mouth to control her sobs. "How could he think that all this was for camera?For two weeks he has been thinking this?" she felt her throat getting dry and it was hard for her to even breath.

Everyone thought she is a child but only she knew she was anything but that. She knew the turmoil she faced to even accept her feelings for him to herself. She was scared . She was scared as she kept realising she was falling. Hard and irrevocably for him. Next came her turmoil to show it in front of him , knowing there are cameras capturing her , knowing that he would know what she felt and knowing that he would know what he meant for her. Slowly , before she could even know or fathom , she started to show it in front of him , it was as if he had the power over her to overturn and break down all the walls that she had carefully built around her. He made her feel what she never felt till date , his love made her forget the cameras and all her fear and she showered him back with all her love. She knew it was less than what he showed , but for the person she was it was the most in her capabilities to be so extrovert with her feelings. She hadn't realised when her sobs had turned louder that it was audible from outside the washroom.

Pratik stood there rooted outside the washroom not knowing what to do. He knew bits and pieces of what had happened and thus the sobs. He didn't want to show concern knowing she might not be comfortable with that and also didn't want to "not do anything" hearing her sobs. His reverie was broken with the sound of footsteps coming into the bathroom area. He looked up to see Karan.

Karan saw pratik standing outside the washroom and heard the sound of sobs.
Pratik looked at him and smiled knowing exactly what to do.

"Are you okay Tejasswi?" Pratik asked loudly still keeping his gaze fixed at Karan.

She realised that she was loud and there was pratik outside. She stopped immediately.

Both of them heard the sounds of sob vanish. There was pin drop silence. After a couple of seconds they heard her say " Yes Pratik"
