Bab 244: Learning about the truth (7)

|Innaya|

*** Half an Hour Later ***

We shifted back to the living room after we had our dinner. Everyone was silent, and I had kept my head lowered. Eshan's father had served more gulab jamuns to me than the rest. I found it difficult to be served by my father-in-law. Well, but then I kept my words to myself, not wishing to earn any reaction from him. In any way, it was benefiting me. Why should I complain?

"Two months ago, I received photos of you with Arjun," Eshan's mother said. 

"What photos?" I asked slowly, glancing at Arjun through the corner of my eyes. 

Arjun and Eshan were sitting beside me, sandwiching me as if I would run away. Despite wanting to, I could not run away. My poor feet would not allow me. 

"That's not important." Arjun shook his head. 

Eshan's mother nodded. She seemed to struggle with explaining as if she feared my reaction. Why would she?
