learning the truth
Narmada's POV:
How can you , Rekha of all people do this to me? I am such a fool. It hurts me more than my father's infidelity. I should have known about her intentions before. But no, I trusted her.
So, Udhay is her brother. As in real one. I still couldn't believe this. I thought she is joking when she said she lives here. It's so unreal. I am such a fool.Now I get why she looked so happy in the morning.
Amma slapped me because of her doing. Now she won't even talk to me. Poor Shiva, he suffered because of her. Why?
"Anni,(bhabhi) time to get you ready."Rekha came in as if everything is fine.
"Why didn't you tell me that Udhay is your brother?" I asked her.
"I didn't say it so that I can stay with you"
" And ruin my life. " I said bitterly , raging in anger.
"Narmada , here take this and drink . You will fell better."
"What did you mix in this? " Before she could react,
" Let me guess, some kind of drug to make me unconscious so that your brother can get what he wanted for so long."
"Stop talking rubbish, Narmada."She tried to raise her voice.
" Oh really? As if you won't stoop that low. You really think I will not find out how you backatabbed me on my own wedding." I angrily asked her.
" I am a dumb fool to believe you. You destroyed my life. Just for what? Your brother's happiness . Even after knowing I rejected him. ,"
Udhay's POV:
I don't want to start my life with Narmada with a lie. I decided to tell her everything Rekha did for this marriage to happen and take the blame upon myself. I don't want Narmada to find out on her own. She will be devastated . It will ruin her friendship with Rekha.
What Rekha did was terrible thing , but I can't be mad at her, for she give me my love of my life.
I came down and stopped outside the room hearing Narmada's voice.
" I never thought you would do such a thing. You ruined my life. I hate you so much." Narmada said angrily. " Nar Narmada , please . I I agree what I did was wrong but my my " Rekha stammered . Her voice cracked . She looks down.
" My what, brother. You did it for your brother . Just because he loves me. How dare you, Rekha? I didn't love him. Why did you do that? You knoW very well how i feel about rich people. Guess what you proved it correct. Manipulative ."
When Rekha tried to speak,
" no, save your lame excuses to yourself. From now on, don't even try to come infront of me. You're not my friend. You're only my sister in law . That too for time being. I regret seeing you back. Do you have my idea how much humiliation my mom faced because of this? She threatened to end he life . She's not even talking to me as no fault of mine." Narmada said angrily. She looks dejected.
" please Narmada. Listen to me once." Rekha literally begged but Narmada walked out not before giving me a hateful look. My heart cringed in pain.
Rekha sobbed inconsolably. I feel guilty as she did this for me.I took her to her room and made her lay on her bed.
" anna, she didn't mean it,right?" she asked while holding my hand. She looks like a lost child. I nodded. She soon fell asleep.
Then I came looking for Narmada. i found her in my room.I didn't dare to enter the room where I stayed since I was a child. My bedroom! But I need to see whether Narmada is fine. So, after mustering courage, I peeked in.
" finally my husband decides to grace me with his presence. I was waiting for you. " her words , full of sarcasm came from the dark room.
I switched on the lights and saw her tear stained face.
" Narmada, it's not her fault. She did it for me. Please don't hate her and severe ties with her." I spoke while trying to reach her. She moved away.
" why should I hate her? She's nobody to me. " her reply came almost immediately. I got stunned.
" I want divorce." she said without any emotion.
" what?" I asked in shock hoping I might've heard it wrong.
" you heard me,Udhay . I said I want Divorce"
Great, it hasn't even a day we got married and she wants divorce. I stared at her once again, taking in her soft eyes and his gorgeous appearance.
An unknown emotion made itself known in her eyes before being masked by her typical cold glare, "Do not look at me in that way."
I shut my eyes quickly and took a deep breath. Anger flickered in her eyes as she growled out, "Don't you dare act like this isn't all your fault, Udhay. You knew everything, this relationship should have never happened. I don't want to be with you Udhay, if you did really love me as you claimed then you would have stopped Rekha . If you don't and found only today, then you would have ended your relationship with her the second you found out. So, Don't lie."
" I can't do that to her! I am her brother. I have only known you for a few years, while I have known her for my entire life. When I can't let you go, how can I let her go? I trust her with my life and I love her with everything I have in me. Don't make this any harder than it has to be. All I'm asking you to do is forgive us" I pleaded her, she came closer, getting in my face as she spoke. "Go to hell, Udhay"
I whimpered, sprinting out of the room fearing she might ask me to sign divorce papers now itself. I needed to clear my head, any time I am around her, my thoughts were all muddled together. My dream kept replaying in my head, no matter how much I wanted it to stop. Would Narmada and I ever be that close? I doubted it, she hates me , my sister and right now I don't think I could face her without her bursting into uncontrollable sobs.
God, what did i do to deserve this?
Third Person's POV:
Sundaravalli was impatiently walking around the corridors of the hospital waiting anxiously for her brothers recovery.
Both of them met with a terrible accident while rushing to stop Narmada's wedding and bring her back . A container lorry lost control and jammed their car throwing those inside far away.
The doctors came out and informed her that her younger brother Shiva didn't make it while her older one is in coma.
After 25 long years, she broke down on the floor and started to cry inconsolable.
First my daughter now my brother you I thought as my son. Why God? Why are you so cruel? What did I do wrong?
All I wanted is to see him live happily. But you took him too. Are you happy?
