Raina~I planted my feet on the pavement, getting out of the car. I took a lazy stretch and rotated my head from side to side, squaring my shoulder, I walked towards the home and punched the code, making it slide open.I walked inside and sighed in peace. Home brings peace. Agastya trailed behind me and a smirk formed on my mouth as he huffed and dropped our bags down. "You are never taking this much luggage. That's final" he said.I gaped and turn around, sweat beads rolled over his head, and he pants. I pity him, but he is my husband. "I am a woman and a woman needs so much to pack" I replied. He rolled his eyes at me, and we both wash our hands and slumped on the sofa. The house was clean. My mother-in-law must have come here to get it clean. I got up from the sofa and took out the chill water bottle from the refrigerator and walked towards him. "I just wanna sleep, now" I yawned. I gave him the bottle and started walking g towards my room with a hammering heart. After spending
Raina~ I scrunched my nose up, as I was fed a spoonful of mix sprouts by my his and. I roll my eyes and chewed that damn breakfast. He brought another bite for me to eat but I backed away and shook my head in no. "No, no more I am stuffed" I whined and he quirked his perfect dark brows up and stubbornly made me open my mouth. "You have to eat this whole plate, and no more arguments," he said and I rolled my eyes again. According to him, I have to follow the diet he planned for me which contains super nutritions and proteins and whatnot. However, according to his leniency, he granted me one one-time cheat meal on Sunday. But whatever, his concern for my health, is the sweetest thing. He is the sweetest thing in my life that has ever happened to me. This time I gladly opened my mouth and ate."You are getting fat, are you pregnant ?" I choked on the food and I felt Agastya rubbing on my back and brought the glass of juice against my lips. I look at my mother-in-law who just asked t
Raina~ I shook my head and ran inside the home, I know it's very cowardly of me to run away like this but her emotionless face kept roaming in front of me. And I couldn't stand it.I grabbed the glass of water from the dining table drank it, and took deep breaths trying to control my racing heartbeat and laboured breathing. Fuck.I turned my head as I saw my mother-in-law in a yellow romper with high-knee boots, walking past me. God, she has a bad fashion sense, she should hire a stylist for herself. Before she could walk outside of the gate I called her, making her halt in the track. She turned around and removed her shades from her eyes and looked at me. "Are you going somewhere?" I ask, and she raises her brow at me. "Am I obliged to tell you?" she asks, her tone rude. I rolled my eyes turned my back on her and climbed on the steps without answering her question. She can go to hell, for all I care. And it's not like that I want to spend any time with her and have gossip at tea
Raina~ I applied cocoa butter lip balm on my lips and sighed again. I have sighing a lot lately, but I cannot help it, whenever I look myself in the mirror. I place my hands on my waist and turn my body a little, my breast grew and my hips got wider, my waist expanded most and then there was a small belly pooch. Shit, it does look disgusting. From the fat in my thighs to the fat in my arms, I look like a chubby skittle. Even my cheeks are more rounder than before, I look fat all over, like a whale. My mother-in-law was right, I am getting fat. And one day I will be a big balloon. I was so engrossed in fat-shaming myself that I didn't notice, arms encircling around my waist. I raised my eyes and met with the hazel ones of my husband, he rested his chin on my shoulder, my heart relaxed a bit when he smiled "What my pretty wife thinking?" he asks and kissed on my shoulder blade. I frowned, pretty wife? I am not pretty but fat. He slide the thin strap of my satin top and leave a wet
Raina~ "Raina, today some very important gussets will be coming here, please make sure everything goes perfectly and the food must taste delicious. Mom, is such so you have to do it on your own. Will you do it?" Agastya asks and I look at him frowning. "Of course, why won't I do that? Don't worry I will manage". I said and he nodded. I served him his cooked cereals and a glass of orange juice. He ate hastily and choked once "Slow down, Agastya," I say and rub on his back gently. "Agastya, my son you are not gonna be late, eat properly please," my mother in law said, and her tone was genuinely concerned. He drank water and wiped his hands with the wet cloth abd got up from the chair. He first walked toward his mother and kissed her both cheeks, saying take care of her. At least my mother isn't looking like an evil right now. Well she never looks like a bad when she is with her son and their interaction, made my eyes teary. I turned around and wiped away the tear that rolled down f
Agastya~ I opened my eyes, and with the morning rays peeking through the blinds my head to the side and found Raina sleeping, with her legs sprawled more than half of the bed and her mouth open. I sighed and tilted my body to her side and removed the few strands that were stuck in front of her face side. My heart sighed in bliss, this is the sight I want to wake up to the rest of my life. A smile broke on my lips as she stirred in her sleep, cute. I leaned down to kiss her lips but halted in the midst as yesterday's events flashed across my eyes. I sighed and instead of kissing her lips I just pecked her forehead and moved out of the bed. I am not angry at her, I am just upset because she couldn't even handle a single responsibility, I trusted her with. If she can't handle this, how is she gonna live her life smoothly? I sighed and walked into the bathroom, I did my morning routine and wore my workout clothes, I wore my shoes and tied my shoelaces. Grabbing my headphones, I walke
Raina~Tears streamed down from my eyes and I clenched my palms, Taking a deep breath I turned around to take a look at my mother-in-law who had a smirk on her mouth. I wiped my tears "You hate me but you are ruining things for your son, What kind of mother you are? I know you are a shame on mother's name" I said and saw her smirk disappearing before walking away from her. I sat in the corner of the garden, my back against the wall, as I sobbed. His angry, disappointed eyes were flashing across me. He scolded me for his mother even when she was wrong. How could he? Why won't he try to know the truth? A person should always maintain a balance between their partner and their family. You can't sidekick your wife just because of your family. I brought my knees closer to my chest and rested my head on them. I bit my lips and let the tears fall silently, I feel so lonely. Everyone has a family but me. My husband can do anything for his family but me. Yes, we have reached a different le
Raina~ I pressed on the doorbell again and again and used my other hand to knock on the wooden door until it got open "Don't you have manners?" I heard my sister's voice and looked up. "Ray--" she stuttered, and I kept staring at her. Her face is similar to my mama, same brown skin, and beautiful brown eyes. While the first child of Mihir and Malini looked like a mother, I the last child looked exactly like my father. My vision blurred and I swung my arms around her neck and hugged her tightly, I bit my lips to prevent sobbing out loud. "Raina, are you okay?" she asked and I clutched her shirt tightly because I was not okay. I withdrew myself back and smiled at her and nodded "Just saw you after so long, maybe that's why I couldn't control my tears" I said and Trupti smiled at me and leaned down and kissed my forehead. "I was missing you too, Raina. I am the only one who calls you, and you barely answer them" she said, in an accusatory tone. "Are you not taking me inside your ho
