CHAPTER 3 : HIS FIRST MISTAKE

The next morning at school, Saumya casually asked Vishal about their previous night's conversation. Vishal, caught off guard, played along but avoided mentioning Deepak's involvement.

However, doubts started creeping into Saumya's mind. Something felt off about the interaction, and she couldn't shake the feeling that 'Vishal' was not entirely truthful.

She decided to confront Deepak directly. Finding him alone, she approached him with a mix of apprehension and determination. "It was you, wasn't it?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Deepak's heart sank. He knew he had been caught. "No, it wasn't me," he denied, trying to maintain his composure.

Saumya searched his eyes for the truth, her intuition telling her otherwise. "I know it was you," she insisted, her voice firmer this time.

Deepak's mind raced as he realized the gravity of his actions. He excused himself, claiming he needed to use the restroom. Once alone, he hurriedly blocked Saumya on all social media platforms, overwhelmed by guilt and fear of confrontation.

Saumya checked her phone later, only to find Deepak had vanished from her online world. Confusion and hurt flooded her thoughts as she tried to make sense of what had transpired.

when she got home after the school she tried to contact the person she was talking to and after some time she finally talked to him, Deepak mustered the courage to apologize to Saumya. He approached her with a sincere expression, his words carefully chosen. "I'm sorry for what I did. I should have been honest with you from the start."

Saumya listened quietly, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. After a moment of silence, she nodded. "I forgive you,"
