Arjun's POV
" Easy, easy there" I stroked Diya's back gently while she sat beside me taking small gulps of water. She looked petrified and lost in her known thoughts. Her eyes were red and swollen making her appear distorted. Her entire form was trembling and that made my eyes softened at the girl who looked no less than a walking corpse.
I blamed myself continuously for making her go through something like this. I knew this wasn't a good idea. I shouldn't have listened to my mother. What was I even thinking when I agreed to her? I should have not let Diya meet that scorned woman. In the past, that woman never treated Diya like how she should have been treated. She always held resentment and hatred towards my Guddu for which the reason, I am still not aware of.
