He cleared his throat and said "I came out and saw you drowning. Then I helped you out and brought you here."

"Does everyone else know?" I inquired as I wanted to know if anyone really cared or not.

"Yes, Mom and Shlok were there. They know you are here" he replied without looking at me. His expressions were telling that he was lying but why would he lie?

"Any other question?" he brought me back to reality. "No no more questions. Now you can relax," I told him and gave him a side look.

"There is nothing to hide. Stop being Sherlock Holmes," he commented and kept the cup aside.

"So" he continued and looked at me. "So?" I raised my eyebrow to ask him to continue.

"How is life going on with my dear brother?" he asked out of nowhere.

"Ok I guess," I replied short and simple. I don't want to tell him how really I feel.

"Why did you get married to him in the first place?" he asked again. "I kind of liked him. He was attractive, had a stable career, from a reputed family, and so on. All the things that a person sees in an arranged marriage", I explained to him and kind of lied. Obviously can't tell him I thought it was you at the first go.

"How much do you talk or meet before marriage?" he asked another question.

"Not much everything happened too quickly," I lied to him. I hide the fact that we never met or talked before marriage.

"Pihu you know that you can move out of this marriage?" he asked his final question and I knew he wanted to ask this only. He was just preparing me for the final question.

I closed my eyes and took a breath. "It is never that easy," I replied to him.

"You are just spoiling your life. Can't you see you never better" he said in frustration. I smiled and said, "Who decides who deserves what?"

"Pihu what happened? Why are you not speaking about it to your parents? Are you afraid of them? Do you want me to talk to them?" his last question raised my heartbeat.

"No why would you talk to them?" I asked him in a high pitch. "What does it matter to you? You should be happy that someone is adjusting with your brother." I tried to divert the topic from my parents.

He chuckled and said, "I would have been happy but I know none of you are happy in this marriage. So why torture yourself?"

"There is no torture. At the start, it happens with every couple and slowly everything will be fine," I explained the theory.

"Really. Do you believe in that?" he asked looking at me. "Tell me the theory which you truly believe yourself first," he concluded. I did not reply to anything as it was really true. I myself have given up hope on this.

"Why are you asking these many questions?" I retaliated back. Yes guys this is my defense mechanism.

"Pihu can't you see there is no future for you guys," he again tried to make me understand.

"Oh really but I can see a bright and happy future. I can see our family growing and we living together till our old age," I retorted back to him.

He snorted and said, "You are living in your delusional world if that's the case."

"And I am happy in my delusional world," I gave a reply back and flipped my hair back.

"Are you afraid of your parents?" he asked again. "Why would I be?" I questioned back.

"Then talk to them and explain your situation. I know they will understand them," he again explained the same theory.

"Listen Aditya don't involve my parents here," I tried to explain to him but he cut me in between.

"I can help you in explaining that," that's it he wants to go down this road then it's fine.

"I am saying this final time stop involving my parents. Dare you say anything to them," I threatened him by showing my finger.

I got up from my place and said "I am going to my room and after that, we can leave."

"Pihu," he tried to stop me by holding my hand.

Without turning around I just jerked his hand and said "You have already spoiled my mood enough for the day. Let me have some space and then we can leave."

With that, I left from there without even looking at his face. I knew if I turned around I would surely melt and speak my heart out.

I reached the room and closed the door with a loud thud. Reaching the bed I started to cry my heart out.
