I paced to the kitchen to see Mamma. She is the only one who can console me....
I hugged her from behind and started crying. She was confused seeing me and Shyam at this hour.
Shyam explained to her everything.
He blamed me for trusting Abel.
Mamma was in shock. She started crying hugging me.
"Mumma.....Abel..... I was wrong....
but..... he..... won't....."
I was not able to talk but she understood everything.
Suddenly she wipped her tears and tore me from her chest.
"Kanna, dont cry.
Not anymore.
You have faced alot of challenges already. Nobody can bring you down. You are strong... Isnt it? "
She tried to make me stable.
She was right...
I won't allow anyone to hurt me anymore....
I walked back to my room.
Threw my bag on the bed and sat in front of my dresser.
"Why are you like this? You know Abel very well. What will be his motive in doing all this?
My reflection started questioning me.
That's right. Within such a short span of time, I was able to understand Abel. He won't do this.
"You just stood there when Shyam was punching Abel. You didn't stop him..!" My mind was judging me.
I know, I should have said something. But I was too shocked to speak....
I recalled his face during the incident. He was looking at me pleadingly...
Like he was misunderstood..... Definitely he was not guilty.
I hurried to call him when I understood my mistake....
37 missed calls from Abel!!!
Also many messages in w******p.
Please siya I didn't do it..
Believe me please....
like that so many messages....
Poor Abel.... I dialled his number.
He picked up in the first ring.
"Siya.... I didn't..I was removing the posters before anybody can see it..."
He was saying breathlessly.
"Abel, I know.....
I know.
At that time I was not in the right state of mind.
Will you please forgive me for doubting you?
Also, I am sorry for Shyam's behaviour." I apologized to him.
"Siya, how did shyam know about this? He came as if he knew everything. Something is not right..." Abel shared his doubts.
He is right. Oh God...
We came together, then how he knew this was happening in my class this fast?
He directly charged towards Abel.
Shyam's words were echoing in my mind...
"You chose to tell everything to this moron?"
How he knew that I told Abel everything about my past?
" Siya, you there. I just told you my doubts. I may be wrong" He said.
"No Abel, It's not just a doubt. It's the truth." I replied to him....
And I will find it.... I assured my mind..
********* ******* ******
Shyam is the culprit?
