The room went deathly quiet as words slipped out. Karan looked at me with deep confusion, his grip tightening a little bit. “With whom?” he asked loudly.

I swallowed hard, the truth finally coming out from my fear. “Renu. On my birthday, I came downstairs to get ice cream for Ritika. And I see both of you kissing in the kitchen. I think you’re playing a sick game with both mom and daughter. Renu Young, so I decided to sacrifice my own happiness for her. But that day, right after being with Renu, you came straight to me as if nothing had happened. I got so angry and disgusted, I lost my mind and slapped you. I am so sorry, Karan.”
