Episode 5: The Cover-Up

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Suhana seethed with anger, her voice laced with venom. "It's all your fault. She's traumatized because of you and your evil ways." Amit's face twisted in upset, his eyes narrowing at the accusation.

Amit's anger flared in response. "How dare you say that to me? How am I at fault?" Pooja stood frozen in front of them, tears streaming silently down her face as she sobbed.

Suhana's eyes blazed. "I told you to stop fighting with me, but you refused to listen." In a burst of fury, Amit slapped Suhana. Pooja's gasp filled the air, shock etched on her features.

"You must be insane, Suhana," Amit spat, his voice cold and cutting. "How dare you talk to me in this manner?" Suhana's rage boiled over; she slapped Amit back. Pooja's eyes widened in horror as Suhana trembled, instantly scared by her own actions. She tried to apologize to Amit, but he gripped her neck in anger. Suhana choked, coughing in pain.

Pooja shoved Amit away desperately. He lost his balance and tumbled backward, plummeting down the staircase. A sickening thud followed as he landed hard. Blood began to ooze from the back of his head. Suhana and Pooja stood paralyzed, shocked by the sudden turn of events.

The air hung heavy with tension as the two women stared at Amit's crumpled form. Pooja's sobs broke the silence, and Suhana's breathing quickened in panic. They didn't know what to do next. The aftermath of the violent outburst loomed darkly before them, filled with uncertainty and fear.

As they stood there, frozen in shock, the weight of what had happened began to sink in. The cover-up they'd need to concoct to explain this accident weighed on them like a threat. Fear of consequences mingled with the horror of the moment, leaving them breathless and staring at the chaos they'd never intended.

Suhana sobbed uncontrollably, her voice barely audible through her tears. "Pooja, what have you done? They went to him and found out that he's not breathing. They were shocked." Pooja, equally tearful, tried to comfort her mother. "Don't worry, Mum. I know what we need to do." Suhana continued crying, overcome with grief and fear. "Now we're going to jail. I hate this world. Why is the world so unfair to us?" She cried in pain, and Pooja was scared.

Rohan's Room.

Pooja came through his window, and Rohan was shocked to see her in tears, with blood all over her body and clothes. Pooja, crying desperately, pleaded, "Please, Rohan, I need your help." Rohan's worry was evident. "Pooja, what did you do?" Pooja told him everything, and he was shocked and worried.

Rohan spoke urgently. "Pooja, please help me understand. You want me to bury him in the graveyard outside the city," he said, processing the request. Pooja looked at him with pleading eyes, but Rohan was incredulous. "What? Are you mad? I can't do that. This is a murder case, Pooja."

Pooja was in tears. "I know you broke up with me, but I know you still love and care for me, please, Rohan. I don't want me and my mum to go to jail because of my mistake."

Rohan's anger was palpable. "A mistake? You murdered your own father. That is insanity. You are not human, Pooja!" Pooja was shocked by his harsh words.

Pooja, still in tears, pleaded, "Please, I was just trying to save my mum from being assaulted."

Rohan went to his telephone and started dialing "911", and Pooja was shocked. "I will inform the police about your horrific act," he said. Pooja was shocked, and she escaped through his window.

Pooja, in fear, walked alone, talking to herself. "What am I supposed to do? What have I done wrong to deserve this type of life?" She said this crying heavily. "I need to escape with Mum. I think we should just run away." Suddenly, Arjun, who was reading Pooja's diary, just heard a scream outside.
