Chapter 216 - We’ll sit and watch a good show. (1/2)

Holding onto that brotherly warmth made me cry harder. From the morning, all I had been doing was to cry. Ayesha's entered our life and the day turned out to be one of the worst days of my life. I thought everything would end for me.

And, things were just pointing in that direction. Suddenly, unexpected things started happening. First Inspector. Then Arjun. Maybe, there was still some hope left. Were gods taking pity on me, finally?

I clutched on his blue coat as I wept bitterly in his arms. My eyes stung, but I did not care anymore.

”Why are you crying so much? Did this stupid husband of yours bully you in my absence? Wait. I'll take revenge for you.” He rubbed my head as if he was cajoling a child.

I did not know for how long I cried, but when Arjun said those words, I could not help but smile. He could crack jokes in any kind of situation. Also, he could make jokes about my husband.

I separated from Arjun, just a little bit. Raising my head upwards, I searched in those ocean blue eyes signs for any kind of hurt, disappointment. He was inside our house all along. He had heard everything. Words of these three women were enough to make anyone feel disgusted. What was his reaction to it?

”What? Are you that surprised to see me here?” Arjun raised his eyebrow. His face held no sign of disgust, hurt, or surprise. Instead, I witnessed the usual playful expression on his face. It was as if there was nothing untoward happening in this living room.

Arjun chuckled. ”Did I shock you to dumb?”

I lowered my eyes.

”Open your eyes and ears. Look, they are blatantly flirting before your eyes. How could you still support such a woman?” Ayesha screeched loudly like a banshee. ”You refused to believe those photos. Can't you see the truth now? You can claim that those photos were photoshopped, but this- this can't be fabricated. She threw herself in the arms of another man as soon as she saw him. Yet, you still are siding with her.”

Her voice irritated my ear. Someone needed to put tape on her mouth. She sprouted garbage every time she opened her mouth. She still had a nerve of maligning me. Was she that dense? Brotherly interaction between me and Arjun seemed the interaction between lovers to her. She needed to get her eyes checked.

I clenched my fist my side as I turned to face her. What the hell was her problem?

”What these people are still doing here? Ma'am, take them away. They are too disgusting to look at.” Arjun dr.a.p.ed his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his side.

That female officer nodded her head as she motioned to her subordinates to hurry up.

It looked as if Arjun was purposely irritating them. I did not mind. As long as those people were taken away, I did not mind anything he did or said.

However, the moment my eyes fell on Eshan's mother, I hesitated. I could not let her get arrested. What would happen to the reputation of Eshan's family, if she were to be taken away?

”Eshan,” I called out to him who stood with his arms crossed across his chest, watching the scene unfolding ahead. I did not want him to humiliate his mother before outsiders.

On hearing my voice, he turned his head in our direction. I was taken aback with a blank look in his eyes.

”Don't let them take her away.” Composing myself, I said timidly. Eshan's sudden change in mood made me wary.

”Oh, is that so? She will accompany us in jail as well if that's what Eshan wants. Right, Prerna?” Ayesha's mother suddenly regained her focus as she looked challengingly at Eshan. She even heard my low voice. Was she still paying attention to me?
