PARINIDHI

My heart pounded in my chest, racing like a runaway train threatening to break free. For so long, I had shielded my mother from the harsh reality of my troubled marriage, bearing the weight of countless sorrows alone. Now, Devansh had audaciously shattered those defenses by bringing her to his lavish mansion.

How could this be? Just earlier today, I had encountered Sahil, and now, by a strange twist of fate, Devansh had summoned my mother here. It seemed too orchestrated to be mere coincidence.

Overwhelmed by urgency and a flood of thoughts, I raced toward the mansion. As I approached the grand gates and hurried inside, the sight that greeted me at the door took my breath away.

There was my mother, seated gracefully on the sofa, while Devansh lay at her feet, his head resting on her lap as she stroked his hair tenderly.

I blinked rapidly, almost slapping myself to make sure this was not a dream. It was undeniably real; my mouth fell open in astonishment.

"Di, you're here," Rahul's voice snapped me back to the present, or rather, to a bewildering reality.

"Huh?" I muttered absentmindedly as I stepped inside.

Devansh's gaze shifted towards me as Rahul's voice echoed in the room, his expression transforming into a warm smile.

Confusion swirled within me as I made my way to my mother's side.

Devansh rose to his feet, his eyes still fixed on me.

What was actually happening here? Each passing moment only fueled my mounting frustration.

"How's my dear daughter?" My mother's voice cut through the chaos, wrapping me in a sudden embrace that momentarily eased all my worries.

Seeing my mother after so long flooded my heart with joy, prompting me to reciprocate the hug, clinging to her tightly.

"M-Mom, you're here?" I stammered, my voice quivering with surprise.

Mom's hand gently caressed my cheeks, and I instinctively leaned into her touch, a flicker of a smile dancing on my lips as she bestowed a tender kiss upon my forehead.

My heart swelled with a sense of peace, experiencing her presence after such a long absence. Witnessing the joy etched on her face.

Drawing in a deep breath, I found solace in the notion that she remained blissfully unaware of everything.

With a firm grasp, Mom led me to the sofa, where we settled side by side.

"Jamaai ji, would you care to join us?" Mom's invitation extended to Devansh.

My eyes widened in disbelief, as if threatening to burst out of their sockets at any moment.

"Jamaai ji?" I was dumbfounded.

Mom addressed Devansh with such warmth and reverence, as though they were longtime acquaintances.

Mom had encountered Devansh before......

The realization hit me like a sledgehammer, and I struggled to regain my composure.

Devansh promptly took a seat beside me, while I shot him a glare filled with simmering anger.

If looks could kill, Devansh would have been buried six feet under.

Yet, despite my intense gaze, he remained unperturbed, smiling at me as if nothing had transpired.
