Ch-74A day already passed…"Rahul, I guess we shall leave?" Laya asked."Yeah, I will tell your Pedananna," he said to her."We will tell after breakfast," Laya said. He nodded.They had breakfast with the family."Rahul, we are having Ganapati pooja today ( Worshipping Lord Vinayaka. So that they wouldn't have any disturbances in the work they started). Hope you will stay today also," Raghuram said."Actually, Mamayagaru (father-in-law), we need to leave," he said."It's only one day. Please," Sindhu asked. Rahul looked at Laya. She nodded."Fine," he said."Abhinav already brought a Kurti for you of your size. And a saree for Layamma. You can change into them," Raghuram said.They nodded. Only when they nodded did he let out a relieved sigh. But Abinav felt like he was suffering from Alzheimer's. He doesn't remember buying any clothes for his sister and brother-in-law. He wanted to say it, but he shut his mouth when he saw his pedananna's and his father's murderous glare. After all
Ch-75Nandini's husband was an NRI. He was a doctor in New Zealand, he returned to India to get married at his parents' insistence. Despite his being bitter about the marriage, Nandini looked cute and bubbly to his eyes when he saw her on their first date.Even though he never believed in love or a lifetime commitment he realized being committed with this cute girl wasn't a big deal. Krishna Uppalapati was looking forward to his marriage. His parents were doctors too. And he became a doctor too. They had a chain of hospitals, while he went to New Zealand to study but got settled there. His parents were asking him to resign and come back to take care of the hospitals, he never listened to them. Also, his traitor's parents said to the bride's parents that he was going to resign a year after his contract ended there. Till then the bride has to be with him in New Zealand.Nandini was not comfortable staying in a different country. She always wanted to stay in the same city where she was g
Ch-77"But Babai, if you go and ask her forgiveness she would forgive you," Nandini said."Nandu, you know… I don't want her forgiveness. That makes me more selfish. I am opting to die and drown in guilt. That's all. As for now… we need to take care of our little bride," Ramakrishna said as he petted her head."Babai, don't touch my hair," she said with a pout. He laughed as he let out his harmless laugh into the wide garden without any negative emotions. The positivity that exuded from his body covered the whole garden making others feel at ease. Laya noticed her uncle laugh out o carelessly for the first time in her life. Unknowingly she walked towards him but stopped at a distance hearing his words when his laughter died down, which was unnoticed by Rama Krishna and Rahul.Just then Abhinav walked towards Nandini to pass her phone as Krishna Uppalapati, her soon-to-be husband was online. But Laya just dragged him with them and stood closer to their place where they sat down to tal
Ch-78Laya woke up late. Due to her pregnancy, she was feeling very sleepy these days. Rahul was going to work and was returning to Pasupuleti's house directly. And as usual, Rahul left the house with a note. She got and freshened up. She walked down to the dining hall. Seeing her walking down, Sitamma came to her to serve the breakfast. Laya sat down to have her breakfast with Sitamma as her company. The house was bustling with relatives visiting, servants, decorators, and many people. Even though no one asked Laya to help she knew they wanted her to help, but her family always refused her. But… she couldn't bear the relative's words.Suddenly, she was called in by Abhinav. Yesterday, the groom called for Raghuram and Sharada along with his parents for an urgent meeting. They came disappointed after they returned. They didn't speak to anyone. But she knew something was wrong. But she didn't ask.Seeing Abhinav calling her, she got to leave. "Have food, I will be back," Sitamma said a
Ch-79PainThe pain was the only thing she could feel all over her body. Her world was as dark as an abyss.She tried to move but some constraints were stopping her. What were they? She tried to move her hands, but she found they were tied. She tried to move her cramped legs but they were tied too. Laya could feel she was tied to a pole, not a chair. The cold floor was making her shiver badly. When she tried to move the ropes which were tied to her hands and legs tightened making her moan in pain. The blindfold on her eyes made her unable to see anything around her.All she remembered was sending a text to Rahul that she was returning home in a taxi alone. Then Rahul called her, but before she could lift the call, two men entered the taxi with a dangerous aura making her feel scared. Before she could ask them why did they board the taxi she drifted into a deep dark world.She wanted to shout to ask if there was anybody around her. She wanted to shout and ask who were they? What's thei
Ch-80Just then Arjun, Raghuram entered the house along with Krishna Uppalapati."Annaya, why is he here? Didn't he just break the marriage?" Rama Krishna asked with anger."Babai, he didn't say no. He said he would marry her after he returned to India which is after six months. But we convinced him now to marry Nandini on the usual date," Arjun said."Why didn't you pick the call?" Rahul asked."We were talking to Krishna. I kept my phone in silent," he said."Very good! Shall I applaud your family now?!" Rahul said in anger."What happened, Rahul?" Arjun asked feeling confused."Don't you know! I trusted you guys and left for the office. Only to get her insulted. If he called off the wedding what is Laya's fault!? You guys called her a bad omen for no reason! Now… she went missing for the last damned one and half hours. If I find something bad has happened, I won't let you guys off!" Rahul roared and stormed out of the house.The moment he went out, he called his father and sister t
Ch-81Maha Lakshmi went to the dirty room, where she tied Laya. She went near her and saw her uncomfortable position. Checking the time, she realized it was lunchtime. If Laya stays hungry, then her grandchild would be hungry too. She can't let that happen. She removed her blindfold and the tape that blocked her mouth from screaming. Then her legs, kept her hands tied."Wake up," she said as she slapped Laya. Laya woke up in a split second and sat up straight."Come with me," Maha Lakshmi said.Laya wanted to say something but kept her mouth mum. She didn't lose the fear of her mother-in-law yet. She did as she was asked. Maha Lakshmi took her to one of the rooms and made her sit on the bed. The room has nothing but a pair of sarees, a bathroom, and a bed. Nothing more nothing less."You will live here for the coming nine months. And now… you will sign divorce papers and leave my son. Then you will sign your property papers and transfer them to me and your uncle's name. IF you shout,
Ch-82"Why did you bring her here?" Maha Lakshmi asked."Uncle, I want to talk to my mother alone, Can you leave?" Saranya asked. He nodded and went outside."Mom, I am sorry. I didn't realize that you did for my brother's sake. When I went to my brother's house, I found that she didn't even let my brother touch her. He was living like a saint. I realized I did wrong. And now… I got to know she is pregnant. I want to make sure it's brothers. I am trying to get her to a hospital but couldn't. Now is the right time," Saranya said.Maha Lakshmi was shocked at her daughter's words. She loved her daughter and would never doubt her. Now… she was worried about her brother well being and trusted her means… she could say her daughter is just like her. And she trusted Saranya in Laya's thing. If Laya cheated on her son, she would kill her now."Mom, please. If I am there, she will trust me and do whatever I ask. It will make things easy for us," Saranya said.Maha Lakshmi was in deep thought bu
It's late-night for them by the time everyone left. Sri Ram and Raya were taken by Raghuram and Rama Krishna. After he changed Rama Krishna, Raghuram and Harish Chandra became natural enemies. they all want Laya and her children's attention to them. And these three of them want benefits. They have their few banter to get their attention. And as the saying goes... the strong one wins. The ones who could win Laya could have Raya and Sri Ram. But in their banter, Rahul suffered many cold, and alone nights along with cold showers.----------------"They left," he whispered into her ears."hmm..."she answered as she snuggled closer to him."kids?" he asked."They went with dad," she replied."So, we are alone?" he asked as he placed a hand on her waist."Hmm.. yes," she nodded sleepily. After the hectic day, finally, she got time to sleep. But can she with Rahul?Nope.He turned off the lights and closed the bedroom door and immediately pounced on her.He hovered over her and ripped her ni
Ch-83five months later..."Everyone! Enough!" Sharada yelled."What is it, Sister-in-law?" Rama Krishna asked as he wiped his sweat with his sleeve on his forehead."You all fathers and sons are idiots. You forgot to buy Kumkum Puvvu (saffron) to her with your clumsy actions," Sharada said as she shook her head."I know brother would forget it. So I stole this," Rama Krishna said proudly."Wow! Babai! Next time take me too. We will steal together," Laya said as she held her heavy stomach as she walked towards him."Sure, why not?" Rama Krishna said."I will also come," Raghuram said."Nope!" Laya and Rama Krishna said together."Why?" he asked as he clutched his heart dramatically."Because you don't know how to run or escape," Laya pointed harshly.Rama Krishna nodded his head in a yes, breaking his brother's heart further"You both are bullying me! Ever after you both reconciled, I am left alone. Sobs," Raghuram started his million-dollar act.Just then Arjun and Durga came with th
