Path of Redemption Part 1

Her POV

"It is not my baby" he said Infront of our families without any ounce of guilt in his eyes like it's no big deal to him, as if he was not refusing to accept his own blood, as if he was not pointing the finger at my character.

These five words shattered me completely and made me face the reality that the life I was living till now was a beautiful dream and now the time had come for me to wake up and face the cruel reality.

"Then whose child is she carrying whom she wants to impose on my son" his mother Nirmala aunty asked my mother who was looking at me with teary eyes. I couldn't believe that the one who used to love me like her own daughter was talking so cheap about me today.

It was true that no matter how much someone loved us, but when it came between their child and us, they will choose their blood in a blink like aunty chose his son.

"I think there has been a misunderstanding. My daughter......." my father tried to say but his mother cut him off "What a misunderstanding........... My son is saying that he is not the father of the child growing in her womb, so what is there left to talk about. It would be good for you that before talking to us, ask your daughter whose child is this and why did she play with our family name??? How can she have an illicit relationship with someone else despite being my son's wife??? You said that right now your daughter is not mature enough for married life, so we all together had decided that till your daughter's studies are not completed, she will stay with you as your daughter in your house. Now see your so-called immature daughter is standing in front of us pregnant with someone else's child."

"Mom enough She is not that cheap type of girl. You know her since childhood, have you ever seen her with anyone other than Advay Bhai, so how can you point finger at Radhika's character?" his sister and my best friend Siya spoke for me.

Radhika....... My name was Radhika, 19 years old.

"And how can you do this to her, Advay bhai??? She loves you more than her life, so she can't even think of cheating on you. I don't know why you're denying to give her baby your name but I know this much that I can trust Radhika blindly. Whether you all are with her or not but I am with her every step of her life even if I have to go against all of you for that." Siya declared her decision and looked at me with a sweet assuring smile that she was with me.

I felt blessed to have such a friend who was ready to go against her family and stand by me and at the same time I also consider myself unlucky that the man whom I considered my everything and for his happiness I crossed those limits which were made for me, he made me characterless cheap girl.

She came to me and wiped my tears shaking her head that I didn't even know were flowing from my eyes. she hugged me tightly while murmuring in my ear in soothing manner "don't worry......... everything will be alright......... I am with you always."

I also hugged her tightly putting my head on her shoulder and broke down in tears.

"Siya, stop taking her side. You are too young to know who is right and who is not. By supporting this girl, you are showing that this girl is telling the truth and your brother is lying. You know your brother very well that he would never tell such a big lie." her mother shouted on Siya who replied her while holding me tightly "You are right that I do not have as much experience as you, but I am mature enough to see the difference between right and wrong and let me tell you one thing that this time your judgment is wrong. You are so blinded by the love of your son that you are blaming this innocent girl for something that she cannot even imagine."

"SIYA.......... don't forget that she is mother and specially for that cheap girl." Her father Rajeev uncle shouted at her. she filched little with taking me in her arms. This was the first time Rajeev uncle spoke loudly to Siya because Siya was his princess and he used to treat her like that.
