Compromised marriage

5 years later

tejo pov
5 years have passed since the incident
i'm still trying to move on with my life
the toughest phase was loosing my child and husband at the same time
the pain is just hard to cope up
and the bystanders taunts just make it worse
as i was coming back to my house
after a stressful day in the college
i was greeted by my upset mother
satti: tejo i asked you not to be here today
jasmines in laws are here
what will they think
tejo: maa but where should i go
babe: go somewhere and die
otherwise your bad luck will fall on my jasmine
tejo: i will leave now
satti: just go out and come back after an hour
till then they will leave
please tejo
tejo pov
without saying a word i left the house only to be greeted by fateh
fateh: why are you doing this tejo
doesn't it hurt when people are talking like this
you don't deserve this
tejo: i deserve it after all
i was the one to be blamed for my misery
fateh: why don't you move on
anuj is not coming back
and as for me..
tejo: no
don't break up with jasmine
because i don't want another taunt called as a home breaker
i have already broken my house
i can't break others
fateh: i don't love jasmine
i realize your worth tejo
when you were there i used to always smile
and now i forgot it
tejo: i'm sorry fateh
but in this life
let me stay like this
i only belong to anuj
i'm waiting for the day he returns
fateh: if he doesn't return
tejo: i will wait for him
even on my death bed
