Aarushi asked Aadrika, her voice soft and gentle, like a warm breeze on a summer day, "Aadrika, what's wrong? You can tell me, I'm here for you." Aadrika hesitated, her eyes darting back and forth, like a trapped animal searching for an escape route. But Aarushi's kind eyes and gentle tone put her at ease, and she slowly began to open up, like a flower blooming in the sun. "I...I had a one-night stand," Aadrika stammered, her voice barely above a whisper, like a secret shared among friends. "And...and now I'm pregnant," she added, her voice cracking with emotion, like a fragile vase shattered on the floor.

Aarushi's eyes widened in shock, her face pale with surprise, like a ghostly apparition floating in the air. She looked like she had been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her, like a boxer reeling from a devastating blow. "Aadrika, oh my god," she whispered, her voice trembling with excitement, like a leaf rustling in the wind. "Who...who is the father?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, like a conspirator sharing a secret. Aadrika looked down, her eyes welling up with tears, like a stormy sea overflowing its banks. "I...I don't know," she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion, like a fragile thread snapped in two. "I was drunk, and...and I don't remember much," she added, her voice trailing off into silence, like a fading echo in the distance.

Meanwhile, Krishnaa seemed completely casual, as if she had known about Aadrika's one-night stand and subsequent pregnancy all along. She was sitting on the bed, her back against the headboard, her eyes fixed on Aadrika's face, like a hawk watching its prey. She didn't look surprised or shocked, just...amused, like a person watching a comedy show. As if she was enjoying some private joke, one that no one else was privy to. Aarushi didn't notice Krishnaa's expression, she was too busy trying to process the news, like a computer processing complex data. But Aadrika caught it, and her eyes narrowed slightly, like a person trying to solve a puzzle. She looked at Krishnaa with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion, like a detective investigating a crime scene.

Krishnaa's eyes seemed to be saying, "I knew it," as if she had been expecting this all along. Her expression was enigmatic, a mixture of amusement and curiosity, like a person watching a fascinating experiment. As if she was fascinated by Aadrika's predicament, like a scientist studying a rare phenomenon. Aarushi, on the other hand, looked like she was still trying to wrap her head around the news, like a person trying to solve a complex math problem. Her eyes were wide with shock and surprise, like a person who had just witnessed a miracle. The two women were like night and day, one calm and collected, the other frazzled and emotional, like two opposite sides of a coin.

Aadrika took a deep breath and began to explain, her voice barely above a whisper, like a person sharing a dark secret that they had kept hidden for far too long. "That night, I went to the club with my friends," she said, her eyes fixed on some point in the distance, as if she was reliving the memory of that fateful night. "They had been insisting that I come out with them, and I didn't want to be a party pooper, so I agreed," Aadrika continued, her voice laced with regret, as if she was replaying the events of that night in her mind and wishing she had made different choices. She remembered how her friends had teased her, calling her a goody-goody and a homebody, and how she had finally given in to their pressure, just to fit in and have some fun.

As Aadrika spoke, her eyes seemed to glaze over, as if she was transported back to that night, reliving the sights and sounds of the club. "As we were dancing and having drinks, I met this handsome stranger," she said, her voice still barely above a whisper. "He was charming and funny, and we hit it off immediately," Aadrika continued, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she was remembering a pleasant moment from her past. But the smile was short-lived, and Aadrika's expression soon turned somber, as if she was remembering the consequences of that night. "I was too drunk to realize what was happening, and...and we got intimate," Aadrika said, her voice cracking with emotion, as if she was reliving the shame and regret of that night.

Aadrika took a deep breath and continued, her voice still shaking with emotion. "The next day, I woke up to find myself naked in a stranger's bed," she said, her eyes widening in horror, as if she was reliving the shock and disgust of that moment. "I was so shocked and scared that I just grabbed my clothes and ran out of there before he could wake up," Aadrika said, her voice laced with regret and shame, as if she was still trying to come to terms with what had happened that night. She remembered how she had stumbled out of the apartment, her heart racing with fear, and how she had walked for hours, trying to clear her head and process what had happened.

Krishnaa listened to Aadrika's story, her expression unreadable, like a mask that had been carefully crafted to conceal her true emotions. Her eyes seemed to bore into Aadrika's soul, as if she was trying to uncover some deep, hidden truth. Aarushi, on the other hand, looked like she was in shock, her eyes wide with surprise and concern. "Aadrika, I'm so sorry," she said, her voice filled with compassion and empathy. "That must have been so traumatic for you." Aadrika nodded, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she was still trying to process the emotions of that night. Krishnaa's eyes seemed to flicker with interest, as if she was intrigued by Aadrika's story, but her expression remained neutral, giving nothing away.

Aadrika's eyes pleaded with Aarushi and Krishnaa, her voice barely above a whisper, as if she was sharing a deep, dark secret that she had kept hidden for far too long. "Please, you guys have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this," she begged, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she was terrified of the consequences of her secret being revealed. "I don't want anyone to know, especially my brothers," Aadrika added, her voice laced with fear, as if she was worried about their reaction, worried that they would be angry or disappointed in her. She remembered how protective they had always been of her, how they had always looked out for her, and she couldn't bear the thought of them finding out about her mistake.

Aarushi's expression was sympathetic, her eyes filled with compassion and understanding, as if she knew exactly what Aadrika was going through. "Aadrika, we have to tell your brothers," she said gently, trying to reason with her, trying to convince her that it was the right thing to do. "They'll help you, and they'll find that man and make sure he pays for what he did," Aarushi added, her voice firm and resolute, as if she was determined to make sure that justice was served. But Aadrika was adamant, her eyes flashing with fear, as if she was terrified of her brothers' reaction, terrified of what they might do.

"No, please, you guys have to promise me that you won't tell anyone," Aadrika begged, her voice cracking with emotion, as if she was on the verge of breaking down, as if the weight of her secret was becoming too much to bear. "I'll deal with this on my own, I don't need anyone's help," Aadrika added, her eyes flashing with determination, as if she was trying to convince herself that she could handle the situation on her own, as if she was trying to prove to herself that she was strong enough. Krishnaa's expression was unreadable, her eyes fixed on Aadrika's face, as if she was trying to understand her motivations, as if she was trying to figure out what was going on in Aadrika's mind.

"Aadrika, we're here to help you," Aarushi said gently, trying to reassure her, trying to convince her that she didn't have to go through this alone. "We won't tell anyone if you don't want us to, but please, don't try to deal with this on your own," Aarushi added, her voice filled with concern, as if she was worried about Aadrika's well-being, worried that she might do something to harm herself. Aadrika's eyes searched Aarushi's face, as if she was looking for reassurance, and then she nodded, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she was grateful for their support, grateful that they were there for her.
