Yadhu's POV

I was happy that I would finally confess my feelings to my lovely wife Anjali on our sixth month anniversary. I wanted to make her feel special by taking her out on a surprise date today. I bought an electric blue Kancheepuram saree for her after shopping for about 3 hours and some chocolates and flowers to surprise her.

I almost felt like a teenager on his first date, nervously looking at my watch from time to time as I drove back home. There was a chance that she won't be home at all as she was busy with her work, same as me, but no matter what, I was determined to tell her my feelings of love towards her today.

I walked into my family home, where we all still stayed together. I had bought a studio apartment before marriage in the city with whatever savings I had, but I had not moved in. I had mentioned it to Anjali, but she said she wanted to stay together as a family. So I didn't compel her and esteemed her wish.

I was excited as I neared our bedroom as I thought of her reaction, hearing my confession. But everything was shattered the moment I opened our bedroom door.

On my marital bed, they both were intertwined like snakes, completely naked, eating and sucking each other's mouth and making love. The gift box fell on the floor with a crash, alerting them both. Both looked bewildered to see me at the door. I saw a flash of remorse on my brother's face, but it was gone sooner than it came.

But my wife just covered herself with the comforter and looked unbothered by my presence. I went outside with a broken heart and waited for them in the living area to give me an explanation.

I was unable to process what was happening around me. My mind went blank after seeing them together. Tears clouded my eyes, and I fought with myself to not let them fall.

The one question that wandered in my mind was, "What sin did I do to deserve this? Suicidal thoughts started roaming inside my mind. Both of them had managed to batter my mind, and I knew it was bleeding severely from inside.

After what seemed like hours, they both came into the living room hand in hand. There was not even a single hint of remorse in their eyes. It was like nothing ever happened that shouldn't have happened.

Both sat together on the couch opposite me and looked unbothered by my state of mind.

"Why?.." my lips trembled, framing that question.

"Yadhu...Now that you have seen us together, I don't have to hide my relationship with Harsh, "Anjali spoke nonchalantly.

"Anju, How could you do this to me? "My voice broke.

"Be practical, Yadhu. You are not my ideal match. Harsh is, and Harsh was," she smirked while my brother gave me a wicked grin.

"What do you mean by that?", I asked hiding my agony.

"That means, my brother, we love each other, "my brother filled in for her.

"How can you sink so low, Harsh? How can you fall in love with your sis in law? She is equal to your mom in status, "I said dryly.

"Come on, bro...Don't be so naive. Anju and I go a long way back. We were in love from our college days, "he smirked.

"What? Is it true, Anjali? "I asked coarsely.

"Yes, Yadhu.We fell in love and are still in love. I will never give Harsh's place to anyone else," she said, patting harsh's arms.

"Then why the hell did you marry me?" I lashed out, unable to control myself.

"Oh, that...my family found some issues with my horoscope, and they found that only a second marriage will remain stable for me. And also, my horoscope predicts the death of my first husband, "she said with a bored expression.

"That stupid astrologer predicted that my first husband would die in the first four months of our marriage. Though I don't believe in such nonsense, my family and yours believe in such crap, "she said as if it was not a big deal.

"And I definitely couldn't put my beloved Harsh through such an ordeal," she added, looking at Harsh lovingly.

It hurt so much hearing her that I couldn't breathe, but it also helped me to know that I was indeed alive because of the pain and suffocation it caused.

"So you both decided to make me the scapegoat, "I asked painfully.

"No offense, Yadhu.Not just us, even your parents agreed to this after knowing about my horoscope issue. Sorry to break it to you, but you are an unwanted person in your family. Neither are you talented in business nor know how to make money from your doctor's profession. You are totally a misfit in this family. Maybe that's why they thought to make you valuable, at least in this way," she shrugged her shoulders.

"No...You are lying. Maybe my parents don't like my choice of profession, but they would never do such a vile thing against their own son, "I semi yelled at her, unable to hear her falsehood.

"I was blind and foolish to believe you," I sighed in frustration.

"Yadhu...Come out of your happy bubble. Have you not noticed.No one wants or likes you in this family. And I just helped you out by marrying you. Had you died, it would have been helpful to us. But sadly, you didn't. When you didn't die, our parents checked with the astrologer once again. My parents hadn't matched our horoscope before our marriage as they thought it was a waste of time. So when you didn't die even after the predicted four months, they contacted the astrologer, and guess what...yours is a perfect match with my horoscope. And all the issues with my horoscope have been eluded after my marriage with you...But sadly, I don't prefer an unsuccessful person in my life. I want someone who knows to make money every single day just like me, and my Harsh is a perfect example of how a man should be," she exclaimed, breaking my heart over and over again.

"Moreover, you are a loser because you believe everything so naively," she continued.

She was the one who made me feel special, and she was also the one who made me feel like a nobody that day...I pitied myself.

"Now that everything is precise, I would like you to sign the divorce papers soon. I want to be free from this unwanted relationship," Anjali said, busily looking at her nails.

"What if I deny you a divorce? "I challenged her angrily.

"Oh, Yadhu...You don't know me. If you don't grant me a divorce, I can go to any extent to prove that you have been abusing me ever since we got married. You know the law protects and believes women. Who will believe you? Your family? Trust me, every single person in this family will side with me, "she glared menacingly.

"Never...they will never side with a bitch like you. I'm their son. And Harsh, do you regret even a bit before betraying me? I'm your brother, and you tried to get rid of me in this vile way to get the love of your life. Had you told me earlier, I would have never married her. But you chose to deceive me like this. I can't believe that my brother is such a vicious person. What would dad and mom say when they come to know that you betrayed your own brother," I snapped.

"And you, I will never divorce you. Do whatever you want," I scowled at Anjali.

"I will see to it that you divorce Anjali," my dad's voice boomed, and I turned to see my dad and mom at our house entrance.

"Dad...How could you say that without knowing the truth? I'm your son, right?" I debated.

"You are not my son. You are the result of your mother's whoring around nature," he bellowed at the top of his voice.

"I hate your very existence because you remind me of my ex-wife's betrayal," he shouted, breaking my already broken heart into a thousand shards.

I wished I could go back in time and avoid meeting Anjali...maybe then I could have escaped this much hurt and pain. I wish I could tell someone how I felt...I wish I had a shoulder to cry and let out my ache. But I was a man, a pathetic man ...and in this society, men are not supposed to cry or show their emotions...and that is what I did...I just suppressed all my feelings that day.

How was the chapter?

What do you think of Yadhu and his feelings?Is it boring as he is reminiscing the past

I know you all love Anjali and Harsh now....Don't throw stones at me...

So what do you think of the revelation.Is Yadhu's mother really a bad woman.
