CHAPTER 3 : WHO IS SHE?

"The more you learn about someone, the more you realize how much there is still left to learn."

Naina took a deep breath and looked away. "It's not just about what he did to me, it's about what he did to so many other women," she said, her voice trembling with anger. "He used his power and influence to manipulate and exploit us, and no one did anything about it. Not even you, his wife."

I felt a knot in my stomach as I listened to her words. As Naina spoke, I began to sense that something wasn't right. Her tone seemed too aggressive, and her accusations too unfounded. "I'm sorry, Naina, but I don't think Vansh did anything to you or anyone else," I said, trying to keep my voice calm.

Naina's eyes widened in surprise and anger. "What do you mean he didn't do anything? He used his power and influence to take advantage of me and so many other women!" she exclaimed.

"But that's not true. Vansh was a kind and respectful person. He would never do anything like that," I said, feeling a growing sense of unease.

Naina shook her head. "You're just in denial, Riddhima. You don't want to believe that your perfect husband was capable of such things," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

I took a step back, feeling defensive and confused. "I'm not in denial. I just don't think your accusations are justified," I said, trying to stay calm.

"Damn people weren't lying when they said Riddhima, isn't easy to manipulate i guess they were right, sorry just had to try it myself, you are right, he didn't do anything to me expect break my heart, i was supposed to be his wife, i was supposed to be in your position right now! But he left me at the altar and no one even felt the need to question him because he is VANSH! and then later came you, with your cheap ass revenge tricks and he freaking FELL for your tricks and love?? HOW THE FUCK DOES ONE MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!" Naina spewed in a fit of rage.

I felt a lump form in my throat as I listened to Naina's words. It was clear that she was hurt and angry, and I couldn't blame her for feeling that way. But her accusations were still unfounded, and I couldn't let her blame me for something that wasn't my fault.

"I'm sorry that Vansh hurt you, Naina. But that doesn't mean that he did anything wrong," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

Naina rolled her eyes. "Of course you would say that. You're his wife, after all," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of anger and frustration. "I'm not just his wife, Naina. I'm also a person with feelings and emotions. And I loved Vansh, just like you did. But that doesn't mean that I'm blind to his faults or that I condone his actions," I said, my voice rising.

Naina looked at me for a moment, then shook her head. "You just don't get it, do you? You have everything, and yet you still can't see how much harm Vansh has caused. You're just like everyone else," she said, her voice cold.

With that, she turned around and walked away, leaving me standing there feeling confused and hurt. I knew that Naina's accusations were unfounded, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something more to her anger and resentment than just Vansh's supposed wrongdoing.

After reaching my room I called Reyansh. "Bhabhi, apparently the meeting went great it seems??" he asked with enthusiasm. "Was vansh supposed to marry someone and he left her at the altar?" i asked without any detours

Reyansh's voice turned serious. "Where did you hear that from?" he asked.

"I bumped into someone on my way back from the meeting. Her name was Naina, and she claimed to have been close to Vansh and that he left her at the altar," I explained, feeling a knot form in my stomach.
