His Brother's Wife

Chapter - 47

Pihu's POV:

"What the hell is she doing here?" was the only question that was going on in my mind.

"Hi, Shlok and Pihu. How are you doing?" Khushi said, hugging Shlok first and then me.

Shlok cleared his throat trying to compose himself. "What are you doing here?" he asked her.

"This is not a way to welcome your guest son," Mom intertwined. Since when did she start liking her? Am I missing anything?

"Mom let us not pretend she is the same person you hated the most when I wanted to marry her," he shouted and I could hear anger in his voice.

At the same time, Aditya came by and asked "What is going on here?" He looked concerned and I assured him through my eyes that I was fine. I hate when someone shouts or fights it just makes me anxious.

"Nothing just Shlok's friend came by to say hello to him and he is acting so strange with him," Mom said sitting on the sofa.

"Mom," this time Shlok shouted and I flinched at his voice. Aditya came by me and stood beside me assuring me that he was here.

"Shlok lower your voice when you are talking to your Mom," Dad warned him. I can see anger radiating through his voice. I have never seen him so angry.

"Son we are here to celebrate your anniversary so why can't we do that," his mother said with a smile on her face. I don't know calmness that I could see in her face is something else.

"We can but first let me show Khushi the door," he said and stood in front of Khushi. "Why can't she join us?" she asked out of nowhere.

"Because she has some work to do," Shlok tried to give some reason. "Shlok I came here to attend the party as you were not returning my calls," she said with the fake innocence I have ever seen.

"See now she is also free so come Khushi join us," Mom stood up from the sofa. "Mom, what are you trying to do here?" Shlok asked as this was becoming awkward.

"Trying to celebrate the anniversary of my son and sweet daughter-in-law," the way she emphasized the word sweet it did not look as if she was praising me.

"Pihu come here," hearing her I went to stand beside her. "So Pihu which son should I celebrate your anniversary with?" when she asked that question the color of my face drained.

"What is happening here?" the voice boomed and it was none other than my Dad. Mom and Dad were standing at the door with a gift in their hand. I never wanted them to hear it like this.

"Mom please," I tried to control the fire which was about to start. "Why? Are you ashamed of your actions Pihu?" she asked, touching my cheek.

"What is happening here Pihu?" this time it was Mom as they came near us followed by Dad. Dad kept the gift at the side of the table.

"Mom not know please," it was Aditya who knew how serious the matter was.

"When you guys did not feel ashamed while doing it so why feeling shy now?" she shouted and I flinched at her voice. Tears started to flow from my eyes and I could not control it.

"Mom you are scaring her," Aditya came in between his Mom and me. He pulled me towards his side but I knew hell was going to break soon.

"Oh now I am scaring her?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "Khushi you need to leave," Shlok asked Khushi.

Khushi came in front of me and said "This my gift for stealing what was mine. If he can't be mine then he won't be yours too."

She had a sinister smile on her face then she turned to Shlok and said "Hope you will call me when this whole drama is over." Shlok was about to say something when she left not before kissing him on the cheek.
