Chapter 5 – The First Big Break
One day, they fought — over Shona. Lily stopped talking to him for four days.
On the fifth day, her friend showed her Shona's story: Shona and Amrit, together in front of a mirror. Amrit's lips on Shona's neck.
Lily's world crashed. While she had been crying for four days, he had been… with her.
In anger and pain, Lily called Shona and told her the truth — that she had been with Amrit for a year, even while Shona was still there.
Shona broke up with Amrit immediately.
But instead of thanking her, Amrit was furious.
"Why did you do this?" he asked.
When she asked about the story, he said, "I was with her, but I was thinking of you. This year was yours, not hers. But you betrayed me. I loved you more, and I didn't expect this from you."
Lily felt guilty. She apologised, begged for forgiveness.
And he forgave her.
