Rajveer "Hello, mum." I said immediately received her call. What was wrong now?"Where are you son?" She asked, angrily. By her tone alone, I could tell there was a problem."I...am at—" I didn't get to finish my statement because I was interrupted by her. She had a habit of doing that whenever she was mad."Come back home, I have something to discuss with you." she stated. I hoped Roshni had not complained about me, because if she did, I knew mum would be very disappointed at me and it might affect her health."But mum..." I trailed off "I am busy right now. Is there a problem?" I asked. I hoped not because I couldn't deal with an angry mum."Just come home and see me first." she said and hung up before I could comprehend.When I got home, I went straight to mum's room. I met her seated on her bed patiently waiting for me."Where were you?" She asked without looking up at me. She was mad, I could tell."I was at work." I lied. I knew better than to tell her the truth."But that was

RajveerAs they drew nearer, I could feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension building within me. Their footsteps were deliberate, each one echoing in the silence that surrounded us. The air seemed to grow heavier, as if the weight of their presence was pressing down on me.As they closed the distance between us, I could sense a palpable tension in the air. It was as if the world had momentarily frozen, and all that remained was the anticipation of their arrival. My heart raced, and my mind raced with questions. What was he doing with my wife? Who was he? "Hey!" the strange man extended his hand for a handshake and I reluctantly shook hands with him."See you in school tomorrow." he said to Roshni. Didn't mum warn her about this? I didn't care about what she did, all I cared about was her disrespecting my mother. She got into the car and I drove off before Roshni could give the man a reply."That was Nick. We have been friends ever since we were kids." she introduced. Did I ask her

Chapter Thirteen
RoshniI went straight to the balcony after Raj asked me to leave the room. I felt really sad that we didn't go on a date because Raj didn't want to, but a part of me was thankful to have got the chance to spend almost the whole day together, even though it wasn't an actual date.I felt grateful for the opportunity to spend quality time with Raj, even if it wasn't in a romantic context. We had shared genuine moments, and those were worth cherishing. Perhaps this experience was a stepping stone towards something more, or maybe it was simply a lesson in appreciating the present moment.With a renewed sense of gratitude, I let go of the disappointment and embraced the memories we had created. The day may not have turned out as I had hoped, but it was still a day well spent. And who knows what the future holds?Memory of how Raj asked for the glass of water suddenly came to me and I smiled remembering the expression he had on. It was really funny. I knew he was thirsty but his ego wouldn'

Chapter Fourteen
RajveerWhat was Roshni talking about with Nick and why did she mention I was with her? Perhaps he was flirting with her and she wanted him to stop because I was around and will know what is going on between them. I knew it, Roshni is not to be trusted. She's sly. But why am I even bothered about this? I don't care what they do, but they shouldn't try to show affection in my presence. It disgusts me.RoshniAfter lectures, I met up with Nick. I missed him so much. We have been friends since childhood."Tell me how things are with you these days." he took a sip of his juice. We were at the school's cafeteria."I am happily married. I love my husband and he loves me too, so everything is perfect." I faked a smile, hoping he wouldn't be able to see through it. "Wow! That's just great, I am really sorry I wasn't able to attend your wedding, you know why." he apologized. He lost his grandmother who lived overseas and went over there for her burial. It was the reason he was absent at my we

Chapter Fifteen
Roshni"You love him, don't you?" He asked out of the blue.How dare he ask me that!"What kind of a question is that, Raj?" I asked, angrily. I couldn't believe my ears. "You didn't answer my question." he pointed out, pissing me off completely."Why do you even care if I love him or not. You did tell me that I am free to love anyone I like, didn't you? You shouldn't care if I love Nick and to answer your question, YES I Do. I love him so much." I said angrily as tears began to fall from my eyes. I answered him in a fit of rage and that was why I lied to him about Nick. I could never love him the way Raj thought. He provoked me into lying to him. He was the only one I had feelings for. I believed he knew but he was asking me that to provoke me. We didn't talk for the rest of the ride. A frown was plastered on Raj's face throughout. I was equally as angry as he was. Why was he even angry? Shouldn't I be the only one mad? He didn't have any right at all to be angry in this situation.

Chapter Sixteen
Rajveer I went to pick Roshni up from school for I didn't want mum to doubt us. I saw her talking to the same guy I saw her with when she went to buy snacks – Her boyfriend. She is really very shameless. I felt angry seeing them together, not because I cared, but because she was flirting so shamelessly with another man despite being married. I told her she was free to be in a relationship with anyone she wanted and she gladly took the opportunity and continued her relationship with her boyfriend. How shameless! They were laughing and talking to each other so lovingly. I didn't care about what they were doing though. After about two minutes of staring at them, I walked up to them and noticed her boyfriend now busy with his phone. I extended my hand to him for a handshake and we shook. What I did next didn't just surprised Roshni alone, but myself as well. I hugged her. I didn't have a clue as to why I did that or why I was doing it. It just happened. "I am sorry, I'm late baby, are

Chapter Seventeen
RoshniI was about to ring the doorbell of my parent's house, but stopped remembering mum had hypertension. If she happened to see me, she would definitely come to know about everything about my marriage and knowing dad, he would blame himself for getting me married to Raj without knowing who he truly was first. "I shouldn't have even come here. What was I thinking?" I slowly turned around and walked away from my home.Here I was, walking on the lonely street alone, when a car suddenly stopped beside me. I didn't bother to turn around to see who the driver was."Rosh." I heard a familiar voice call. "-where are you going to?" He asked.I turned around and saw Nick. "Nowhere." I replied."Nowhere?" He asked as he got out of his car "what's wrong?"I stayed quiet."Will you at least get in the car?" He asked and I nodded. Being the gentleman he was, he opened the car door for me and I entered, then he went back to the other side of the car and got in too and began to drive."I am your c

Chapter Eighteen
Rajveer"We won't get divorced." I said with finality. She couldn't just walk up to me and demand that. It didn't make any sense to me. "Why? You hate me, so why don't you want us to go our separate ways? I will put all the blame on myself. Your mum will never know the reason I asked for an annulment. I will make up a story." She sobbed.I felt an instant guilt for speaking and treating her with no respect. Every woman deserves to be respected."I don't really want to continue this marriage either, but what about mum? She will be sad and that is the last thing I want to happen." I Said. I didn't want her to leave because mum and dad would be disappointed in me. They would be hurt. They had high expectations from me and our marriage and I didn't want to disappoint them in any way."Can't you see, Raj? I'm in anguish. I can't endure this anymore. I just want everything to end. I don't care about how your mum feels anymore." she choked out a sob.She looked vulnerable, and at that momen

Chapter Nineteen
Roshni The crisp fresh air full of bright sunshine and the sound of chirping birds woke me up from my peaceful slumber. Memory of yesterday event suddenly came into my mind and I smiled at the thought. Raj and I are finally getting a little closer. He even asked me to stop sleeping on the couch. I gave up and wanted to just end things with Raj because all hope I had left that our marriage might work out, went down the drain when Raj's mother also doubted me. I didn't know what his dad thought of me now. But after how Raj apologized to me yesterday, I suddenly had stronger zeal to make our marriage work and not give up on him that easily.With Raj still sleeping, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom and did all I had to do. I contemplated on going downstairs to apologize to Raj's mum. I didn't do anything wrong, she misunderstood me, but I did speak rudely to her, which I was not supposed to do."I'm really sorry for lying to you yesterday mom. I didn't mean to." I apologized whe

Chapter Twenty
Few months laterRoshniIt's been exactly four months, two weeks since Raj and I got married. He abided by his promise to treat me better, but whenever I mention Nick or he happened to see us together, he would get angry. At first, I thought he was being jealous, but he told me not to get my hopes up, he only acted that way because he didn't want me to hurt his mum's feelings.And Sam, I thought with time, she would learn to adjust to me being around her, but I was wrong, she was even worse now. She glared at me for absolutely nothing and spoke to me very rudely. I chose to ignore her by staying out of her ways. I did that, not because I was afraid of her, but because I wanted peace and not conflict. She couldn't possibly do anything to harm me physically. Or can she? I didn't think so. She was just full of talks and empty treats, that was all. She was harmless - I knew.And Raj's mom, she had not changed at all, she was still the same. She was very controlling, unlike her husband who
