Chapter 63: The Flashback – The Cheating

My heart stopped beating with the anticipation of an answer. Maybe my problems were about to vanish. The real happiness in my life was about to knock. But I was still scared to hope, to hope for a better life, to hope for getting old with the man whom I loved.

"They said… they said…" he gulped.

"What, Ritvik?" I was done with nicknames.

"They said… No." 

Instantly a tear dropped from my eyes. I could hear the shattering of my heart. I was right to be scared to hope. I didn't deserve any happiness. God was punishing me. 

"What happened Ritvik? What did you say? What did they say? Please tell me the details," I pleaded.
