D's PoV
I smiled at her even though she smirked at me. I can’t be rude to the guests. That too when I don’t know who it is?!!! Rishi came down the stairs and Ravi came in behind the new lady at the same time. I could see the shock on their faces. She didn’t pay any attention to Ravi. But the emotion she held for Rishi in her eyes is very intense and true. This struck my heart and I felt pain.I know who she is now. SMIRTHI!
What is My Husband going to do now? Why is she here now? That too on a day when my husband is angry at me for no apparent reason? Will that cloud his decisions?
D hold yourself up! You can’t let her know that you are scared of her now. He is your husband. You have seen his love for you in his eyes.
Yeah yeah! I should be positive....
Before I finish thinking about being positive, Rishi just held her hand and took her out of the house to the lawn shattering all my hopes. He didn’t ask her to go out. He didn’t get angry at her for what she did. He didn’t even show a glint of aversion for her in his eyes. My husband is sure a peculiar person, he didn’t get angry at me when I barged into his life and now he is not angry at her for leaving him in the wedding hall abruptly. Why is he taking her to our lawn? He doesn't want me to hear what they are going to talk about?
Now I am all scared of my life. What is going to happen now? What if she manages to compromise him? What if Rishi thinks her reason for disappearance to be valid? Tears brimmed my eyes. He just showed his anger to me when I did nothing wrong. But he held her hands in front of me when he had all the right reasons to be angry with her!?
Am I imagining things!? I feel all things go blur in my view.
Ravi's PoV
I don’t know what the hell is happening. Before I shout at her to go out, my bro took her to our lawn? They are talking. We could see them from the door-step. My bro is being an ass**le. My anni is all in shock and with the tears in her eyes, I guess she figured out who she is.
That's Smirthi!
How dare she come to our home after all she did?!
"Anni! Anni! Please come inside."
She was about to faint when I caught hold of her. I took her to the couch and made her sit. I ran in to get some water. I sat beside her and gave her some water to drink. She is all sober now. But she started crying.
I can understand her feelings. But she doesn’t have to worry about Smirthi. I have seen the love for anni in bro's eyes. He must be inquiring about what happened to her. I'm sure he will ask her to go away.I should now make anni understand that. She doesn't have to be scared for her life.
"Anni! Please don’t cry. Actually, you don’t have to cry now. He is sure to send her away. You are his wif...." she cut me off.
"Please Ravi! Don’t say anything. Just be with me."
She just grabbed my hand and sat in silence. I can see her trembling fingers and welling eyes. I don’t understand what is taking so long for my fuc**ng brother to send her away. Can’t he just think how will my anni feel about all this? I'm so ready to knock some sense into my brother's thick skull.
"Anni please! I have seen the kind of intimacy you both share. He is in love with you anni. Not her." I tried telling her to not lose hope.
"It's all our assumptions, Ravi. Nothing has come out of your brother's mouth. At Least not yet. Just like Shanu said, it's all my assumptions. He just took her hands in front of me, Ravi. I couldn't even see any anger in his eyes. My heart is pounding. I feel something that tells me it’s no good!"
She is crying. That bitch made my anni cry? I'm going to show her her place. My anni looks so tired and worried. She just leaned on my shoulders and closed her eyes, still holding my hands for her dear life. I can't see her like this. She keeps the home lively after so many years.
