Kapitel 35: The Truth.

Priyanka stared at the man sitting next to her. A few hours ago, she thought he was a good person, who was showing concern, and now, his true color was out in the opening. But why will she blame him? The people from the high society had their code of nothing goes for free.

"Do you want me to repeat myself, angry bird?" Karan asked, with a smile on his face. He was a dashing young man with a good name and family. No wonder, he made it seem like he was doing her a favor.

"Why all these terms and conditions?" she asked. "If we go into this marriage, I know for a fact that the only reason, I married you is to save my brother's life."

"I don't trust anyone. I have come such a long way in life that finding a trustworthy person is hard" he told her.

"The terms are too much, sir. I can't sign the deal, which means there will be no marriage" Priyanka rejected the offer. She was about to open the door when he stopped her.

"Are you sure about this? In case, you want to change your mind…" Karan dipped his hands into the front [pocket of his trousers and brought out a card "here is my business card. I won't be at the hospital, so you can find me at the Singh..."

"There is no need," she did not collect the card from him. He gave her a sad smile and kept the card. It was clear that she was not going to change her mind, no matter what he does. "That's all you rich people think of."

"What is that?" he started the car. Priyanka noticed that he was driving towards the streets that led to her home. She was still angry with him. The drive was not going to change anything.

"You think money can buy everything" She crossed her hands and glanced at him.

"Of course, money can buy anything in the world. I'm not mistaken" He smiled, mischievously at her.

She was shocked. Who was this man and why did she get herself involved with him in the first place. Deep down in her heart, she regrets going to meet with his family. There was no difference between her and the cold-hearted punk called Karan.

Letting out a deep sigh, Priyanka pressed her lips tightly before looking at him "even if you were the last man on earth, I will never marry you."

He marched on the brake all of a sudden and she almost hit the head on the airbags. Karan was trying to pay back for refusing to marry him.

"Thanks for the ride, I will go home from here," she said.

"Can I tell you something?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at her.

"Sure go ahead" Priyanka observed him with a raised brow.

"A-actually... I'm not the guy, you met at the dancing house a week ago" Karan told the truth. "I have a twin. He was the one you met that night. That's why we have different characters. I think he is the one you like, not me."

She was shocked. Her lips parted but the words hung on her tongue. Priyanka wanted to say something but she couldn't.

What has she not seen within these few days of meeting with this man? After rejecting his proposal, he brought another cock and bull story to tell.

"I know you are shocked but it is the truth...I never wanted it to be like this but you left us with no..."

"No choice right?" She interrupted, filling in the right words. Priyanka was furious. A cold shiver ran through her spine as she replayed what he just said "You and your brother made a fool out of me? I should have known it from the beginning. The sweet man, I met on that night was never you" She raised her voice "Thank you for letting me know that I was a fool."

"Don't take it, the wrong side, little bird. I was bored that's why I decided to join in the game" Karan joked. Seeing her fist balled into a fist, he laughed "I'm just joking. My brother was afraid of telling you, that's why. But now, that I have told you the truth..."

"You want me to choose right?"

"Something like that..." He looked at her through the corner of his eyes. She was burning with fire and anger. He just prays she does not burn him.

"I won't choose between two heartless brothers. If I wanted, I would have hurt the both of you by pretending but I'm not you" Priyanka screamed in his eyes "stop the car. I don't want to sit next to you again."

"Me either," Karan said, turning to her " the car is not moving but You will regret this, I bet you."

"Is that what you think?" She laughed, bitterly. He did not know what she has been through in life. But not even for once, she had bowed down to any man.

"Yes. You will come running to me asking for help but it will be too late" his confidence irritated her.

"I won't, sir" She widened the door. Priyanka placed her foot on the ground but it seemed she was not done with him yet. Narrowing her eyes at him, she asked "Do you know why the mother of your child left? Because you are heartless and wicked. She saw who you are and ran away."

"Get out!" His voice thundered.

Priyanka was not surprised at his behavior. He was a mad man who needed help. She got out and slammed the door hard. Before she could move away from the car, he drove off like a maniac.

"Scumbag" She mumbled, heading towards the house.

Whatever happened in the car was a nightmare that will never be forgotten. From a sweet honeyed voice to a roaring lion? Why was he angry after causing so much pain to her?

She was the biggest fool that has ever visited the planet earth. Yesterday, Kamala told her to be careful, while hanging out with Karan. He might turn out to be like Atharva.

But he wasn't like Atharva. The man was the most disgusting human she had ever met.

Karan played such a stupid and childish game on a woman. She wondered what she was expecting from him. Karan lied to his family without any feeling of guilt.
