Unwanted [COMPLETED]

Chapter 25

Third Person's POV

Vikrant sighs as he hangs up the call.

He feels slightly guilty about manipulating his friend's situation this way, but he has no other choice, either.

After all, he can't let his wife be another man's date, especially after his mother showed him the picture of the gown that Nandini will be wearing at the ball.

She'll look exquisite in it. He smiles, closing his eyes as he imagines Nandini wearing that gown.

But the very next moment, he stands up from his chair and paces in his office, frowning due to the feelings that have been rising within him for the last few days.

After successfully destroying Myra and Raghav the way he wanted, he thought guilt behind what happened with Nandini as his revenge's by-product was the reason behind his wanting to give his marriage with her one chance.

But lately, he has been feeling that's not the reason.

He thinks about it every morning when he pretends to sleep till late just so Nandini would shower before him, and he could see her walking out with her freshly showered hair and no makeup face.

Some wet strands clinging to her nape as she continues drying them with a towel with a slight smile on her face.

Just that one smile is what she needs to look more beautiful than she already is. The innocence and purity on her face contribute to her beauty, which is something that no makeup can ever compare with.

He sneakily watches her every morning as she goes about her routine, hastily closing her eyes whenever she stills.

He knows she does that because she feels his eyes on him, but he quickly closes his eyes every time her casual movements cease before she can even turn and confirm her doubt.

Then there is her simplicity, her enjoying small moments in life, speaking out every time for what she believes is right, never holding a grudge or even thinking bad about anyone else.

He has never met anyone as simple and transparent as her in his life.

With such horrible parents causing her to have an awful childhood, getting molested, having her brother taken away from her, and being blamed by her parents for his death—she had ample chances to let all those things turn her into a bad person.

He huffs, shaking his head and feeling petty as he realizes how much less it took for him to turn into a horrible person. Horrible enough to ruin someone else's life for his revenge.

But Nandini isn't like that.

He remembers what she had told him when he asked her why she had never thought about taking revenge against the people who wronged her.

"I simply focus on myself and think about how to be better every day, hoping to leave my past behind and truly be happy one day."

Her words echo in his mind, and he smiles at how mature her thinking is.

Isn't that what everyone wants? To be truly happy in life?

But not all are courageous enough not to let anything affect them and pursue their true happiness. They all get tangled in their anger and wants and eventually lose focus on getting joy in their life. That might be the reason why most people remain unhappy and unfulfilled their entire lives.

"Wow! Getting philosophical, Vikrant." He takes a deep breath, wondering about the insights he has been getting recently.

All because of my wife. He realizes, blowing out a breath and sitting on the couch at the center of his office.
