Trigger Warning: Suicide, Postpartum depression, Depression

In the evening, Shriya went shopping with Nisha and Sharanya, before leaving they had introduced Shivansh to Nisha's fiance Prakhyat and Sharanya's boyfriend Dhanraj, Prakhyat was given the duty to introduce Shivansh to everyone in their extended family. Shriya, Sharanya and Nisha went to shop for some new clothes and jewellery. While the ladies were shopping, Shivansh was getting introduced to lots of new people. He couldn't even remember all their names but he could see Prakhyat and Dhanraj remembering everyone and talking with so much ease. Shivansh was then introduced to Prakhyat's family too. He heard many stories from different people about the three ladies during their college days, they all were the same age and they mostly spent their vacation in Gujarat among Nisha's family.

Nisha's cousins were all a very cool bunch of people and Shivansh spent most of his evening with them, there he also got to know that Shriya had a boyfriend before Shivansh but they had broken up due to some reasons. Shivansh also wondered about the kids' story, but none of them uttered a word. Shivansh decided to ask Shriya about it once she returned. He also got to know about the family dinner that's organized on Sunday. He then searched some places to visit because they had their Sunday morning free.

Shriya returned to the hotel room at 11 pm after having dinner and spending some quality time with her girls. Shivansh had dinner with the cousins and was waiting for Shriya in their hotel room. 

Once Shriya was freshened up and climbed in bed with Shivansh, he said, "Ya-ya." 

Shriya looked at Shivansh and said, "My love, ask me whatever you want to." 

Shivansh smiled at her because she knew her well and he continued, "Did you ever date anyone?" 

Shriya hummed. Shivansh then asked, "Why did you break up?" Shriya faced him and said, "It's a very long story." 

Shivansh urged her and said that they had a lot of time on their hands. 

Shriya then said, "His name was Hridaan, he was the popular one in our college. Every girl had a crush on him but he chose me. He made me feel special. We went to a college IV (Industrial visit), everybody stayed with their significant other, I and Hridaan did the same. We returned one night to our hotel room from a party. We both were very very drunk and Hridaan started getting frisky with me. I was a virgin, my love, I did not want to have sex with him. I told him no and he quietly accepted my rejection. I had a prejudiced belief about having sex after marriage, so I had rejected him but his male ego couldn't accept it. He said ok that night but there were rumors spreading in the college that I lost my virginity to Hridaan, that I was a beast in bed, kinky and everything. I confronted him about the rumors and he laughed in my face. I cried a lot that day but I broke up with him. Thankfully it was my final year and I did not have to meet the bitches and bastards that spread those rumors ever again."

Shivansh had tears in his eyes and he said, "I am so sorry baby, I didn't mean to tear your old wound up. I am so fucking sorry." 

Shriya sat on his lap, hugged him and consoled him, she said, "Hey, my love, it's not your fault, I myself wanted to open up to you but I wanted a guarantee that you would stay." 

Shivansh kissed her neck, leaving behind a mark and said, "I will always stay with you. I will never leave you alone ever again." 

Shriya then asked him about his girlfriends to lighten the mood, he quietly whispered to her, "I had 3 girlfriends." 

Shriya shockingly exclaimed, "What?!" 

He was stealing his gaze from her, continuing he said, "I had 1 girlfriend during my school days, 1 during my BE and 1 during my MBA." 

Shriya then asked, "Why did you break up with them?" 

Shivansh further explained, "The girlfriend I had in school was immature puppy love, the one in college was with me for the fame, the one in MBA was with me for money, so I had been unlucky in love until I found you. The moment I saw your report was the moment you intrigued me, the leak finding impressed me and you helping me in the venture assured me that you are it for me." 

Hearing his sweet confession, Shriya had a full blown make out with him. Breaking the kiss, Shivansh kept Shriya in front of him again and asked, "If you did not want to give your virginity to anyone before marriage, then how did my little angels come into this world?"

Shriya took a deep breath and exhaled it. Shivansh was looking at her expression and he asked, "Another long story?" 

Shriya said, "Yes, did you decide to ask all the long stories in one day?" 

Shivansh then scratched the back of his neck and said, "If you don't want to tell, it's fine. I can wait." 

Shriya entangled their hands and kissed his hand saying, "I can never say no to you." Shivansh smiled and waited for her to continue.

Shriya started, "My Appa had a government job and my Amma was a housewife in Bangalore. They lived in the government quarters with me and my sister Kanika." 

Shivansh interrupted her, "What?! Where is she?" 

Shriya asked him not to interrupt her and continued, "My sister was 2 years older than me, she was in the finance sector and she started working during my BE. She was working in a finance company where she fell in love with a boy. We were very close, so she told me everything about him. Once I completed my BE, I moved back to Bangalore, I started as an intern in our company. She wanted to marry the guy she was in love with, she had been in a relationship with him for 2 years. Whenever Nika asked him to come home to ask her hand for marriage, he expertly dogged it and delayed it. One day Nika came home depressed, I asked her what was wrong and she broke down. She was crying and crying, she then informed us that she was pregnant. She also informed us that the guy she was in love with was already married and she was just his mistress. She had informed that guy about her pregnancy, that time he confessed about his marriage and he also told her that he already had kids, he couldn't marry her. Nika broke down in front of Amma and Appa, apologizing for everything that happened." Shriya's throat was filled up with tears and hurt, she swallowed back all her emotions and continued.

She said, "My parents asked her to abort the pregnancy, she also agreed to it but she couldn't proceed with abortion when she heard a heartbeat, not one but two. She couldn't kill her children, so she decided to give birth to them and raise them. My parents were against it and they stopped talking to Nika. I was a support system, giving her whatever she craved, doing everything for her in her pregnancy." 

Tears fell down Shriya's eyes but Shivansh wiped it away. Shivansh then pulled her towards him, he hugged her and let her continue. 

Shriya continued crying and said, "My Nika gave birth to two little angels. I was with her in the hospital but my parents were not there for her when she needed them. As soon as the babies were born, Nika started rejecting them. She did not breastfeed them, she did not look towards them, hell she did not even name them. I named them and they were discharged from the hospital. The twins were just 3 days old when Nika was found hanging in her room." 

Shriya fully broke down in Shivansh's embrace, she was crying her heart out. Shivansh consoled her, he also tried to calm her down but she fell asleep still crying and Shivansh felt helpless, he also felt guilty for asking her, for scratching her painful old wounds. Regretting and overthinking, he could not sleep the whole night.
