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
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
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
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
Rajveer"You do love her Raj. Just admit it to yourself and stop contradicting the fact " Yash said, after I voiced out to him about Roshni and her boyfriend. "I don't love her Yash, I'm only treating her better now because I don't want her telling my parents about our relationship." I denied and he started laughing"Keep telling yourself that, dude." he smirked. "I'm not just telling myself that, I am sure I don't love her." I insisted."Alright, if that's what you say." he continued laughing. He still thought I was not being true to myself. "I'm really serious, Yash. I don't love her." I denied. "Look dude, if you are in love with her, it's not wrong, in fact, it's the right thing to do, you should just tell her and you two can live happily ever after. Simple. I don't know the reason why you don't want to acknowledge your own feelings." he said, shaking his head."You don't understand. she is in love with her so called friend. She admitted it to me herself." I explained. Even th
RajveerI arrived back home and rushed into the living room and met mum seated on the couch, looking furious."Welcome son. We have something very important to discuss.." She said seriously. Wordlessly, I sat down beside her on the couch. "- tell me the truth Raj, do you love Roshni?" She asked."Yes, mum." I answered straight from my heart. "Stop lying to me, Raj." she frowned. I wasn't lying. "I'm not." I voiced out, wondering why she was asking me that all of a sudden. I didn't see it coming."I already know everything. Your wife told me everything that has been happening between the both of you. How could you!" She started. "What exactly did she tell you?" I inquired. Roshni couldn't have reported me to my parents. "Everything. How could you Raj! I'm so disappointed in you right now." she said, disappointedly."When you told me about your decision to get me married to your friend's daughter, I didn't like the idea at all but I still agreed because I didn't want you to be unhap
RoshniOh no! This shouldn't have happened. Why didn't I push him away? I'm such a big fool. Raj doesn't love me and I'm very sure he will consider this a big mistake. What will he think of me now! I gave up my virginity all for nothing.I got out from the bed and hurried into the bathroom. I didn't know what to do to at that moment. What would he think of me? I felt extremely embarrassed. What was I even thinking. I undressed and stepped into the shower. As the water poured on me, I couldn't help, but get reminded of yesterday's memory. I spent some extra minutes in the shower before getting out.Emerging from the bathroom, I couldn't stay staying in the room Raj was in, so I stepped out to the balcony.Sitting in the balcony alone, enjoying the fresh air and thinking about how foolish I was to have allowed Raj get so close to me, he approached me. I instantly stood up and attempted to walk away. He stopped me by grabbing my hand. I jerked it away and continued walking."Roshni." he
Samaira"What should I do to get Roshni out of my brother's life! I need to act fast... why didn't I think of this earlier? I know exactly what I have to do to get rid of Roshni from Raj's life forever, but I can't execute my plan without the help of that guy that dropped her home the other time. I have to get him to be an ally."I knew I was taking a perilous step, but I had to do it for Raj. I couldn't bear to see him mope anymore. The way she talked to me these days intensified my urge to make her suffer. I would stop at nothing till I see her thrown out of the house.First step - I need to get her to trust me.I decided to start executing my plan immediately, so i went straight to her room. I knocked once before opening the door to Raj's room, he was busy with work and Roshni was reading a novel."Do you need anything Sam?" Raj asked looking at me briefly before averting his gaze back to his laptop screen."No Raj. I just came to spend some time with the both of you." I faked a sm
