"I'm not lying at all. You're just not trying to believe the truth. Moreover, how can you trust on a person like me who had ruined the purity of the word friendship and insulted you with all kinds of harsh words when you just wanted to know about my welfare??"

This triggered the file alarm inside Willa and Lucinda's head as they couldn't control their fury anymore over Diana's hypocrisy who dared to shout on their best friend.

"Just because we're sitting here quietly, that doesn't mean that we're invisible. We thought to stay quiet because of Veronica as we know that she doesn't like anyone to interfere in such kind of matters...

But here you're throwing your venom filled words towards the person who was nothing but worried about you. We can't tolerate everything but not a single insulting words about our friend." The always calm Willa warned Diana in a stern voice.

"Exactly.. Just because you're going to prepare my dress that doesn't give you any right to shout on Niccy.. Neither one of us will tolerate your rude behaviour." Lucinda also spat on her.

Diana stared at the two girls who were trying to protect their best friend and her eyes stung with more tears, understanding that she was a big failure in the name of friendship.

Both Veronica and Louis noticed her tearful eyes and their heart shuttered because of it.

Louis moved his eyes from Diana to not feel pity over her after what she had done with Veronica and said, "You shouldn't have done this Diana. It was completely your fault. But still if you want to repent on your wrongdoings then at least apologize to Vero."

Veronica's eyes travelled to Louis and she noticed his hurtful expression while he was saying these words.

She was internally very happy that she got so much supportive friends who didn't even think twice before trying to shelter her from all the evil eyes.

But here the situation was heading towards a completely wrong side. She couldn't allow to let this happen.

She needed to stop all this drama before it took a 180° turn…

"Stop it guys… I know that you guys love me very much but you all misinterpreted the meaning of Diana's sudden outburst. She is demanding me to not trust her anymore after what she had done." Veronica yelled to shut her friends up.

When her statements went into everyone's brain, they understood that Diana really was not trying to berate Veronica but was stopping her from befriending with her again.

After everyone calmed down, Veronica went towards Diana and sat beside her. She hold her palms into her firm grip and muttered slowly, "Diana…I never blamed you for anything nor I'll ever. I'll not deny the fact that when you told me to not continue our friendship, I got very much sad...

But when I thought over it carefully, I knew that something was amiss about you. I never again tried to find you because I wanted to give you space and also there is another reason for which I wasn't able to concentrate on your matter which was one of my biggest mistake...

But trust me, I came to realise the very next moment that my sweet friend Diana can never hurt me intentionally. There must be some reasons behind her behavior."

Diana was completely undertaken by Veronica's sudden confession as well as the three persons who were present there too..

"What…what do you mean? I hurt you in the most brutal way a true friend could ever do. But here you're consoling me..

No… I'm not worthy of your forgiveness. You should stay away from me, Vero. I'm not a good omen for anyone. I'll destroy your life." Diana said while crying.

"What the hell are you talking about good omen and bad omen? Who feed you this kind of rubbish stuffs?" This time it was not Veronica but Louis who questioned her with a hint of anger.

Diana didn't say anything but just continue weeping whereas the girls sat their stupified observing a totally different Diana who was broken and unconfident about herself.

Veronica caressed Diana's back while something popped in her mind suddenly and her eyes widened when she caught the glitch in Diana's changing behaviors from five years ago to now…

Gripping Diana's chin lightly, Veronica made Diana look at her eyes and expressed all her confusion to her in form of a question, "One minute… I remember that you told me your Mom was dating her business partner but he was a horrendous person and you didn't like him at all...

I suggested you to tell your Mom about this and you obeyed it. Your Mom also agreed with you but she asked you to visit her. You also promised me to come back from country Z before I leave city B...

But after few days of your visit to your mother, you started to distance yourself from me and stopped talking to me properly. Then you switched off your phone so that I couldn't be able to contact you....right?"

Diana got scared when she understood that Veronica was slowly untying all the folds of her secrets but she still nodded at her in response as Diana knew that one day or another, the truth was supposed to reveal…

Veronica left Diana's hand and palmed her mouth when realisation dawned upon her as she muttered in pure shock, "Your mother was lying. She never stopped dating that man. That's mean your disappearance was surely related to that man…"

"What?? What are you guys talking about? You meant to say the man who was Diana's mother's lover that time.." Lucinda said astonishingly.

"The same man who had his dirty eyes on Diana.." Willa mumbled another piece of truth.

At the mention of that devil kind of man, Diana's face became pale and her eyes turned gloomy like black clouds before a heavy rain pour…

The four friends became certain that Veronica hit the correct cord as they shared a horrified yet tensed glance at each other...

"What did he exactly do to you?"
