The next day, Gautam returned to the ward

The next day, Gautam returned to the ward.

He asked Megha about her health with a faint smile, then retreated to the bathroom, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

Her leg had stayed still throughout the day, giving her some relief.

She lazily scrolled through her phone until a notification interrupted her.

It was a message: "Don't you want to know where your husband was last night?" along with a video.

Megha opened the message and watched the blurry footage.

It showed Shreya and Gautam, locked in a tight embrace at Shreya's house. Shreya clung to Gautam, and he had his arm wrapped around her.

Megha's heart sank.

She clenched her phone tightly, feeling a suffocating wave of emotions.

She bit her lip, trying to stifle her feelings, but a bitter smile tugged at her lips.

Gautam looked happy with Shreya.

Betrayal gnawed at her, mingling with hurt and confusion.

Why had Gautam deceived her?

Why had he played with her feelings only to break her heart?

He was a skillful actor, she thought. But amidst the turmoil, a moment of clarity emerged.

Shreya was behind this, Megha was sure of it.

With a heavy heart, she deleted the video and stared at the chandelier above, lost in thought.

Yet, a nagging doubt lingered.

Perhaps Shreya was right. After all, she and Gautam had shared months together. Maybe he couldn't bear to separate from her.

When Gautam emerged from the bathroom, Megha was already asleep. He approached her quietly, noticing the diamond ring lying beside her.

He picked it up and examined it thoughtfully.

It was exquisite, fitting for her delicate fingers.

But it seemed she had little interest in jewelry, a curious contradiction to her seemingly materialistic nature.

She was an enigma-apparently greedy yet indifferent to material possessions.

Perhaps, like many women, she enjoyed the thrill of shopping, or maybe her perceived greed was just a facade, a defense mechanism against a world that had often disappointed her.

Megha remained a puzzle he couldn't quite solve.

As evening descended, Rekha ji arrived at Megha's ward with her bodyguards, carrying a tray of specially prepared food for her daughter-in-law.
