A telephone call early that morning changed everything. Priya had called from her parents' estate, her voice carrying that usual, detached calmness through the receiver. Her mother's health had finally stabilized, but she had decided to stay back for two more days to help organize the household and take care of her parents' needs.
When Dev hung up the phone, the silence in the grand Shekhawat mansion didn't feel empty anymore it felt heavy, wicked, and entirely theirs for forty-eight more hours.
My parents are going through a separation, and it has been a difficult and overwhelming time for my family. Iβve always felt uncomfortable asking them for money especially now, so I wanted to take responsibility for myself and become financially independent. Even if I canβt support myself entirely yet, I want to contribute in whatever way I can and ease some of the burden.
