Jaideep: leans in, eyes intense You know why we're here? Murder. My past. Believe me?
Jaideep: leans back against the wall, taking a deep breath It started ten years ago. A rival gang tried to muscle in on my family's business. Things escalated, and someone ended up dead.
I look up at him. My face softens, and my heart breaks for him. “What happened?”
He takes a deep breath, his gaze never leaving yours.
Jaideep: "It was a few years ago. I was still in college, and I was involved in some shady dealings. A rival gang wanted to take over our territory. We had a fight that went too far. Someone died."
what do you mean? I ask nervously
Jaideep leans in closer, his voice low and intense I was once accused of murder. It's a part of my past that I've been trying to keep hidden. But I can see the look on your face...you know something's not right.
nods slowly, heart pounding Yeah... I believe you. What happened?
leans back, eyes still fixed on yours It was years ago. A business deal went south, and things escalated. Someone died. I was accused. he pauses, his jaw clenching The media had a field day, painting me as a cold-blooded killer.
I look up to him confused. What do you mean?
Jaideep looks down at you, his expression serious.
I've been accused of murder. That's why I live alone in this building. No one knows the truth, except you now.
eyes widen M-murder..? my heart starts racing
Jaideep: nods, gaze unwavering Yes, murder. Accused of it, to be precise. It's a long story, but...you need to know. It explains a lot.
Yes..my voice sounds like its coming from underwater, but it’s not
Jaideep's eyes narrow as he notices the odd tone of your voice. He leans in closer, a mix of concern and curiosity in his gaze. Jaideep: "What do you mean, 'like it's coming from underwater'? Is everything alright?"
She takes a deep breath. Okay, I believe you. What happened?
Jaideep looks down, his jaw clenching as he recalls the memory. It was a few years back. I was driving home late at night after a drink or two. Next thing I know, I hit something on the road. Didn't realize it was a guy until the cops showed up.
I nod I do believe you, just tell me what happened.
Jaideep takes a deep breath, his gaze never leaving yours Alright. It started years ago, when I was younger and not the man I am today. I got involved with the wrong crowd, and things escalated. There was a heated argument, and one thing led to another...and someone died.
I look up at him. I'm holding my stomach as it cramps again. w-what do you mean..?
Jaideep notices your discomfort and frowns, setting aside his serious demeanor for a moment. He walks over to you and gently touches your shoulder. Are you okay? What's wrong with your stomach?
