Shaurya's povHearing Arnika's past I was shocked. I never imagined that something horrible like this could happen with her.I just want to beat the shit out of her professor. Lusting after her student who is of his daughter's age . The teacher whom we think to show respect, if he does something like this ,what should we do then?And her husband...just don't start. He is the biggest asshole who didn't trust his wife. Just one day and one lie...it was enough for him to think that his wife cheated on him.Her parents are also very weird. They didn't believe their own child but believed on Son in law and outsiders.I looked at Arnika to see her looking at me curiously."What happened to that Kolhapure atlast?" I asked catching her off guard. Then she smirked."After our divorce I took my luggage and left th
