Roshni

I took a look at the time – it was 2:37pm. I was still bored and decided to call my friend, Vid. I missed her so much as well and all I wanted was to just call her and tell her everything that was troubling me, but I knew better than to do that, I didn't want her to worry about me. I dialed her number two times but she didn't pick up. I guessed she was not close to her phone. I was very bored and there was nothing fun I could do. Nobody to talk to at all, but I was wrong when someone knocked at my door twice before coming in. Raj's mom

"Mom." I called and beckoned her in smiling. She came in and sat on the couch. I was nervous to speak to her because I wasn't used to her and I know for a fact that she's stern. I had not done anything wrong to her, so she had no reason to be strict with me, but come to think of it, I didn't do anything to Sam as well and she hated me already. I wouldn't be surprise if Raj's mum would also follow her children's lead.

"How are you doing dear?" Sh

    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

    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'

    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

    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.

    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

    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 as well as Raj were shocked by what Eshaan did. It wasn't like him to something like that to his sister. He has always been overprotective of her. "What she said is true... You only like her and not me!" Eshaan bursted into tears, his gaze fixed on his father, making it obvious that his outburst was directed at him. Raj couldn't believe what came out of Eshaan's mouth. Knowing how he was, Raj knew it must have been with him for a very long time for him to blurt everything out now and Kiran telling him that only added fuel to the fire. He shook his head in disbelief and muttered "these kids" under his breath. "That's not true, baby," Roshni was quick to chime in, putting Kiran down and moving closer to Eshaan. Just as she was about to touch him, he moved back.But that didn't stop Roshni from holding his tiny hands in hers. "Daddy loves you just as much as he loves Kiran. You both are his kids. We love you equally. There is no favoritism. None at all. You and your brother are

    "Why are you telling me this now? Does Raj know about this?" Roshni asked. "No no... He doesn't and I don't want him to know... Just yet. I'm telling you all these right now because I need someone to confide in and I figured you're the best person for that right now," Sam shrugged. "What do you want to happen now?" Roshni asked, curiously. "I want you to please support me. That's all I need from you," Sam replied, her eyes glistening with tears. A support from a single person was what she needed at that moment. She feared Roshni might not be able to support her. It was her worst fear. "Your parents will never be able to accept him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this to discourage you, but for you to be fully prepared," Roshni voiced. She had come to know the family she married into. "I know," Sam stated, sadly. She, of all people knew how judgemental her family tended to get. And despite knowing that, giving up wasn't in her dictionary. "And you still insist on going ahead w

    Roshni looked at him in disbelief. "What did the girl do? It doesn't matter what she did. Kiran has no right at all to hit her or anyone else and that's why I'm going to punish her this time. She needs to know what she did is wrong and never have to repeat it again." "Didn't you promise never to hit someone again?" Raj asked Kiran, who had her head rested on Raj's shoulder and hands tightly wrapped around his neck. "But she started it first! She stole my drawing book," Kiran defended herself. "You should have reported her to your teacher, why didn't you?" Raj asked, putting her down unwillingly due to how tight her grip was around him. She didn't want him to put her down but he had to, to make her see and know how serious he was about her spiteful behavior. "I'm sorry daddy," she apologized, her eyes welling up with tears. "Tell me, what happens in school when you do something wrong?" Raj asked swatting down to her level. "They punish us," she replied. "And why?" He questioned.

    Six years later... "Alright teacher, I'm so sorry about her behaviour," Roshni finished talking to her kids' teacher and threw a glare at Kiran. "What happened in school today?" She asked, trying to keep her anger at bay. She was tired of receiving a complaint call about Kiran almost everyday. It needed to stop!"We were given a classwork by our teacher, I dre-" she was still talking when Roshni cut her off. "You know exactly what I'm asking of Kiran," she said, sternly. "Why did you hit a pupil in school today?""I didn't-" she attempted to lie. "You know you can't lie to me right? Now give me an answer, why did you? " Roshni asked a bit more sternly now. "She pissed me off!" Kiran yelled. "How so?" Roshni questioned. "She took my drawing book away!" Kiran answered with attitude. "She did? And is that a valid reason to hit her?" Roshni asked. She was beginning to lose her patience with her. She was becoming too spoiled for her liking. Roshni could remember the time when such co

    RoshniSix months later "Push!!!" The midwife yelled from between my spread legs. I pushed with all of my might and screamed. The contractions were in every forty seconds. Taking deep breaths proved cumbersome for me. The pain was unendurable for me. I couldn't bear any of it and I started to panic. What if I didn't make it or worse, my children. Yes, it was confirmed months ago by a doctor during one of my ultrasound exams. Raj and I were overjoyed for the double blessing God had given us. "Ahhhhh!!!" I screamed in anguish as my contractions came back in full force. I squeezed Raj's hand harder in return to somehow numb the pain. He wiped my sweat away with handkerchief and kept on encouraging me to try harder and that the pain was all for our babies. He was speaking to me, but I couldn't hear a word he was uttering as my mind went blank and his voice as well as the voices of the midwives and doctors floated in the air and dissipated. I was drowning in the unbearable pain that seem

All the nervousness Vidhi felt before the wedding was now replaced with contentment and love. She felt secured as his wife and that she was good enough. The advise Roshni gave her was still vivid in her mind. She would forever cherish it together with the friendship they shared. The night was still young with stars and moon beautifying the sky. Vidhi and Yash were in the balcony in each other's arms enjoying the cool breeze of the night. "Babe?" Vidhi called. "Yes, babe?" Yash answered. "How many kids do you want us to have?" She asked the question she had been longing to know the answer to. "Just ten," Yash replied and Vidhi sprung up. "What! Ten? You're kidding!" She said."No I'm not!" Yash denied."You don't love me anymore, do you?" Vidhi asked feigning hurt. "Of course I do, that's why I wanna have lots of babies w

    Roshni"Pregnant!" I announced with smiles written all over my face. "Uhm... Sunshine, don't you think we need to confirm it first?," he asked. I knew he would say something like that and that was why I kept the proof in a safe place beforehand to show it to him. "I knew you'd think so and that's why -" I went over to the bedside and picked up the used pregnancy tests I had kept in a bowl and walked back to him. His eyes shimmered with happiness. "All positive," I grinned. I kissed her on the forehead before sweeping her off her feet and spinning her around. I was grateful for the wonderful gift God gave us when we least expected."Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!" I kept on chanting euphorically. I was going to be a father... Again. It was unbelievable! "Stop," I giggled. I was beginning to feel somewhat dizzy. Raj instantly stopped and dropped me to my feet. He led me to the bed and made me sit down. I chuckled at how careful he was suddenly treating me. "Are you alright?" He asked with conce

She respected Roshni a lot now and Roshni also respected her the same way, but something seemed off with Sam. I noticed she became more secretive and into herself. I asked Roshni if she knew anything going on with her, but she didn't.I was still in the middle of sorting out some files in the office when Roshni's call came in. I received the call smiling. I placed the phone between my shoulder blade and ear and continued with what I was doing. "Missing me?" I asked, cheesily. "Terribly. When are you coming home? I have something very important to tell you." I could sense her excitement from the other side of the phone. "Later. I still have lots to do here," I answered. "Can't you hasten things up?" She asked. "Unfortunately, I can't. Don't worry, I will be home before you know," I tried to convince. "- bye." "Alright then," she said. I could hear disappointment in her

Sam became fed up by his acts and gave him a piece of her mind to totally get rid of him from her life. "Will you please respect yourself and stop following me around like a puppet?" Sam asked, irritatingly. Was it that he didn't have any self-respect - Sam wondered. "Just listen to what I have to say this time and I promise never to bother you ever again." He begged. Sam didn't hear him out. She assumed he only wanted to disturb her about his feelings once more and she was in no mood to listen to his rantings. She increased her pace with every step she took.
