She wanted to believe him like she had believed him earlier, like she had
believed Dushyant.

For the next few days, Varun often dropped in after college timings to check
in on Kajal. She was doing better, but she still missed Dushyant. She felt

bad for herself that she did. Dushyant, on the other hand, tried his best to
apologize and make things better. Kajal told him she didn’t want to hear a

word from him. Dushyant stopped trying after he spotted Kajal get into
Varun’s car one day. He called her that night, abused her and called her a
slut. He told her that she must have cheated on him, that she was sleeping

with Varun all this time.

kiss her. She kissed Varun back. She was no longer in a restrictive, abusive
relationship with a guy with an appalling lack of respect for her. She had
broken free and walked right back into her past.
