I called Praveen on the way to the office. I don't know anyone who works at a cell phone service provider center to acquire the person on whose name the sim card was bought. Praveen is a very talkative man and has loads of friends. He is a man with exclusive people skills, he can get the work done even if he doesn't know anyone there.
“Praveen, where are you?”
“In the lab. I arrived early today. Where are you?”
“On the way to the lab.”
“What, why? I thought you said you will come only three days a week and today is not among the days you have mentioned.”
“Yeah, I

Her Second-Hand Husband 60. I Will Never Learn!
Anika’s PoVThat was a blunder again. Gosh, why is it so hard to withhold my tongue? He was already fuming and I added fuel to his anger. With that force he raised his hand, I wouldn't have survived if he had slapped me. He dashed out of the door and banged it behind him. Now I am left all alone in this room. To do what? I am now not sure how I am going to fix this. Where did he go now? He is extremely angry to drive his car. I ran out but saw his car sitting right where he parked it. Ok, he didn't go out, but where is he?All I wanted to do was to explain that there is nothing between me and Arun that is alive. I wanted to apologise to him for that name slip. I wanted to explain that whatever he thinks or is fed to think is completely false. I wanted to tell him that I am very loyal to him in this relationship. I wanted to clarify that Arun was a closed chapter.

Anika’s PoVAfter Arjun left home on a Monday morning, I called for a call-taxi and waited impatiently to go to Preethi’s husband’s house. His name is Nilesh. I don't really know what I am expecting him to tell me or reveal me. But I need to start somewhere without Arjun’s knowledge and as far as I know, Arjun hates this guy for ruining Preethi’s life. So, the chances of them meeting are zero if not negative.Once after we had that big fight, I knew I had to do something to make it right and I also knew Harish is working with Preethi. I explained the situation to Harish and asked him to get something out of her mouth about her ex-husband so that we can find him. Harish was a huge help and the most important thing is he never judged me or Arjun and he also never pestered me with questions. I am blessed to have him in my life.

Arjun’s PoVThe minute she said that horrible thing, I knew this would never work out between us even though there is a spark and love. I can feel she does have feelings for me with her possessive behavior and insecure feeling. She doesn't trust me and is scared of Anamika. I understand her trust issues, because it was me who made her insecure but her fear over Anamika? That is uncalled for. I am not a person who will cheat on her when I am committed to a relationship with her. I am unlike her which she failed to understand about me. She is battling her feelings with me and her feelings with Arun. That is what is making me more mad. I don't like being compared to anybody.Every time she tried to talk with me, I simply walked out on her. It is already a living hell for me to stay in the same space with her and not talk to her or ignore her beauty, she
Last Updated : 2021-11-05Her Second-Hand Husband 63. Arun, The Traitor
Anika’s PoVJust when I came out of Nilesh’s apartment, I felt a little light in my head. Initially I thought it was because of the poor diet I have been eating in recent days. I could not eat properly with so much in my heart. I am not happy or peaceful to eat healthy. But just then something hit me. I was due to my periods weeks ago. I called Harish immediately and walked to the clinic nearby. The clinic was very small and had patients waiting for the doctor to see them. The nurse in the reception gave me a token and I started waiting for my token number.Since Harish’s office is very close to this area, he came in minutes. I called him because I didn't think that I could go back home safely with the light head. I made him stay out and went in, when my number was called, to the doctor, to clear my doubts. She gave me a cup and a test kit
Last Updated : 2021-11-05Her Second-Hand Husband 64. Where is She?
Arjun’s PoVWhere the hell has she gone? I got down as soon as she exited the car but I didn't want to make a scene on the busy road by dragging her back to the car or hospital. How dare she call me Pistanthrophobic? Yes, I have trust issues. But that is not with everyone. I have trust issues with her and I have strong grounds. I am like a scalded cat, my past experience is not a good one and when I happen to know that the same thing is happening all over again, I could not digest it.But she can't blame me, I was patient enough to discard all her mistakes more than enough times. But how can she expect me to believe her when I caught her red-handed talking to her ex-boyfriend, I don't even know if I can call him ex-boyfriend. She will never keep my child and I will make sure of it. I don't want my child to live with a characterless girl.

Anika’s PoVWith a throbbing heart and bursting sobs, I walked a long way without any destination. My heart felt so heavy every time I breathed and my knees started buckling telling me that it cannot go an inch longer. I disregarded every passerby who looked at me weirdly. Some tried to approach me, maybe to lend a helping hand and some just followed me with their eyes. I avoided everyone and kept walking like my life depended on it. My heart is like a land after a storm, chaos everywhere. My life is done and dusted for good.I stopped at a point when my eyes started seeing blur. My baby, I have to take care of my baby. I should be prepared to fight with Arjun to keep my baby. The sole reason for me still breathing after all this humiliation is my baby. I cannot give away my baby to him.“Ani
Last Updated : 2021-11-05Her Second-Hand Husband 66. The Arrangement
Arjun’s PoVI dropped her in the working women’s hostel that she wanted to stay in with all her belongings. I even helped her carry things to the room that was on the second floor. It was a very small room with an attached bathroom. The manager of the hostel said that they provide breakfast and dinner. Usually nobody will be available for lunch except for a few ladies who work in night shifts. They would have their lunch outside.“Thank you, Arjun. I will take it from here. Call me when you fix an appointment with the doctor. I will be ready.” She said to me.I had nothing to say to her. All my heart ached like it is going to stop working any second now. I nodded my head and gave her a debit card of mine for her use.&ldq

Anamika’s PoVThis treatment is taking a toll on my physical and mental health. Numerous hormone injections and surgeries are being performed on me in regular intervals of time. The pain and fear of its output is making me feel like a cat on the wall. Even though I have given my heartfelt consent for this procedure, I still think otherwise. This whole idea is just overwhelming for me. I am going to get a new life where I can be myself. That alien feeling with myself is going to disappear but how will I present myself henceforth?I have to go to counseling almost everyday to keep my mental health at check. My counselor always asks me if I am happy. How can I answer her when I am completely bipolar about it? When I voice out my concerns, she says that it is very common for people who go through this procedure to feel unsure and 99% of the people who got this

Arjun’s PoVShe looked lovely in the lehenga I custom made for her. I couldn't hold myself back from touching her but did it anyway as the hall was full of people. As soon as we got in the car, I intertwined my fingers with hers and started driving towards Coonoor. Her nearness and her beauty was driving me nuts every passing second. She was talking non-stop about Danya and Akshitha and how they were going to be best friends. Of Course yes, Danya and Akshitha are just as talkative as Anika and they make the place lively wherever they are. Rishi and Yadav are cool guys too and since I am an introvert so far, I have had a borderline relationship with everybody and now I guess I have to be friends with them!It was about a two and half hour drive and we stopped twice on the road as she felt nauseous on the winding road. As soon as we reached, the helpers there broug
Her Second-Hand Husband 85. Epilogue
Anika’s PoVIt is my birthday tomorrow! I am waiting for my hubby to wish me happy birthday but it looks like all he is caring about now is to pack for our honeymoon tomorrow. I wonder whether he knows it is my birthday tomorrow or not. We are going to Coonoor tomorrow as I am in the first trimester of pregnancy and air travel is not advisable right now. Arjun talked to his relative Yadav Rishid who owns a resort in Coonoor for blocking a room for us. I remember Yadav Rishid and his wife Akshitha, they came to our home the next day of our wedding to congratulate us. He is now busy talking to his another relative Rishi to whom he has ordered a special outfit for me. He was the one that helped Arjun to choose all the clothes Arjun got for me.“Arjun…” I called him sitting on the bed.
Her Second-Hand Husband 84. Anand!
Anika’s PoVThe house was in pindrop silence and no one was ready yet to take it in. I heard the sniffs of Dhanam Perima but she didn't dare to look Anand in the face. My dad gestured to my mom to go and talk to Dhanam perima. I think they need more time to sink in the information and understand their feelings over it. I am truly glad that Sivaprakasam Perippa stayed quiet instead of talking thick words that would hurt Anand out of overwhelming feelings. His silence is a good sign, he is thinking about it and I agree that this society has made up some rules that are ridiculous and he needs a huge courage to accept the truth against the society.As we parked the car, Anand got down from the other car that came towards us. He was waiting for our arrival. When we went in along with Anand, my mom, dad, Aunt, Priya and Rajesh were already in the house, talking to Peri
Her Second-Hand Husband 83. The Confrontation!
Anika’s PoVAll my anger flew away when I saw her in the hospital bed with the hospital patient uniform. She has lost so much weight and also lost her charm and beauty. Her eyes had dark circles around it. She was leaning back on the bed and was looking at the ceiling when I opened the door. It’s good that Arjun did not accompany me to see her, he cannot digest this sight. As she heard the door, she just moved her eyes to the door and her facial expression changed from nude to anger in just a matter of seconds.“Why are you here?” She asked me as soon as I entered the room.“I am here to see you. Isn’t it obvious?” I asked her back.“I hate to even see you. You made Arjun see me differently. How di
Her Second-Hand Husband 82. Patch-Up!
Anika’s PoVAfter a week,I was in constant touch with Sharanya to know the condition of Preethi. She was still in the hospital until yesterday and nobody tried to talk to her because the doctor adviced against bringing up the reason for her attempted suicide while she was still healing. Preethi chose not to talk to anybody also. Sharanya said that Praveen and his parents are still mad at Arjun but they dare talk about him in front of Preethi. She also said that it was very unlikely for Preethi to not ask about Arjun for a complete week.“They will come around when they know the truth. We are happy to wait and we are really happy that Preethi has recovered completely and is doing well.” I told Sharanya when I spoke to her two days back.
Her Second-Hand Husband 81. The Horror!
Anika’s PoV“Thank you, dad. I never knew you would be the invisible help I would get.” Arjun told his dad. Arjun and I went to uncle’s room to thank him for his timely help.“You are a grown man, Arjun. But you will always be my son no matter how big you get. I only wish for your happiness. I have enough trust in you to lead your life without my intervention but I also have that wisdom to see through you and read your heart. You are my son, dear boy and I can see what you were going through. I initially thought it was Anika’s fault but soon realized that she was in love with you. That is when I extended my support to her. I pointed out her mistakes and made her think out of the situation. I know you would come around as I saw your love towards Anika. I am happy you sorted things on a good note. So what are you going to do abou
Her Second-Hand Husband 80. How Could You Do This To Me?
Preethi’s PoVI was waiting for Arjun in the farmhouse but I felt like something was wrong. I want Arjun and I would do anything to be with him was all I chanted in my mind. It was already 7pm and Arjun didn't get back home. I picked up my phone to call Arjun to know where he is. I saw so many missed calls from Arun and I was alarmed. Why the hell would this scaredy cat call me this many times? I called him back.“Hello, why have you called me so many times?” I asked him as soon as he picked up the call.“You spoiled my career. It’s all because of you.” He said angrily.“What happened?”“Arjun sir came to meet me. He spoke to my boss and n

Arjun’s PoVI tried to finish my office work as soon as possible because I just wanted to go to Anika and be with her. I couldn't shake off her thoughts from my mind. All of me wants to be with her. Just her thoughts gave me boner and I was struggling hard to keep my hormones in check. I kept on checking my phone to see if she had messaged me or called me. Why didn't she just find out that I am the stalker yet? I have given her enough clues for her to find it out.“Here, that man you wanted to know about, he is working in Abrave Solutions. He is at his office right now. This is his address. He is sharing a room with three other guys near old Mahabalipuram.” Praveen came to me with the details of Arun’s whereabouts after our lunch.“Thanks, da. I will take it from here.
Her Second-Hand Husband 78. The Mistake I Made!
Anika’s PoVAfter Arjun left, I spent my time with my mom and dad. We all had lunch together and my mom said how guilty she feels to accept all the help that Arjun is doing to them financially. My aunty told my mom to think of Arjun as their son and not as their son-in-law. It was a wonderful sight to see my aunty wash away my mom’s guilt. I am blessed to have found Arjun and his family. How can all of them be nice and good hearted? I settled my mom and dad in a room after lunch, as they looked tired of a whole night's travel. I went to my aunt’s room to see her knitting projects.“No, dear, you need rest now. I will figure it out myself. Now please, go and have some sleep.” Said she when she saw me trying to undo the wrong stitches.“It’s ok, aunty. I am fine and I do
