Capítulo 23: 5

"I am going to London."

Everyone at the table was shocked on such a sudden decision of hers.

"The university I have applied for has finally accepted my application. I was planning to tell you this since some time but could not do so because of wedding and everything. As for staying I would stay at Khala's (aunt's) place." She announced. She knew how she took the decision to go so far away from everyone. Last night's Saahir's confession made her feel guilty as she thought of herself responsible for every ignored moment Mahrukh had to go through and for the accident at the mall. She thought of all the times Mahrukh would have felt Saahir's love if she wasn't between them. So, the only possible way was to silently slip away so that they can spend their lives comfortably. Seeing Mahrukh's glowing face reduced the guilt somewhat but still she couldn't see directly into Saahir's eyes or be care free like olden times.
