Vaani didn't flinch. She just stared at him, her chest rising and falling rapidly with hurt and suppressed rage.
"Kya bol rahi hai tu?" he softly asked and scooted closer, reaching for her shoulder, but she slapped his hands away.
"Sach keh rahi hoon!" she snapped, voice trembling with the storm inside her. "You don't give time to me, but jab baat Sneha ki aati hai, you have all the time in the world. And I fucking—"

"Aise hi toh ho raha hai." She sniffled, her voice trembling. "You don't spend time with me anymore. You don't even want to come close to me after Asher was born—"
