THINGS WE NEVER UNDERSTOOD

24

Aaryan called both Monica and Rishi to his guesthouse. He had not taken anyone there and this is the first time he brought someone to his guesthouse. Both of them were panicking scared he might do something to them.

"why did you lie" Aaryan asked staring at the pair standing in front of him. Monica knew that she was caught and immediately started apologizing scared what he might do to her.

"I'm really sorry Aaryan. I thought she would expose our relation to the family and I didn't know what to do" She cried in front of him. Rishi on the other hand did not care at all.

"Do you think you can fool me with that act of yours" He yelled at Monica as she flinched looking at his dark demeanor.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" she begged him.

"If I see your tricks one more time, I swear to god you both will face my wrath" He warned the both. He told Monica to leave and Rishi to stay.

As soon as she left Aaryan landed a punch on his face and beat him until blood oozed out of his mouth. He fell to the ground unable to maintain his posture, Aaryan lifted him up by his collar and warned him.

"Next time you flirt with my wife, I will cut your dick off" He said and threw him out of his guest house.

Everyone came back to the palace again, Riya did not look like her past self. Her eyes lost the spark and her face looked so pale. Anjali was worried about Riya and tried making conversations with her but Riya ignored her which made Anjali fell hurt.

Sahil, as soon as he came home upon seeing Riya ran and hugged her torso, and because of the sudden touch Riya flinched in pain that arose between her legs. She screamed out in pain and Sahil fell to the ground. She immediately ran to her room trying hard to not fall.

Everyone were shocked looking at her behave like this. Anjali worried went to her room and called out for Riya.

"Leave me alone" she screamed. Anjali found her behavior different and pleaded her to let her in but Riya denied. Anjali worried called Aaryan to come home.

Riya had seen that the ointments were no use, the pain was not going away. She made herself a hot bath and laid in the tub as the hot water soothes her skin. She then rested in her room without going out and not talking to anyone.

Anjali was worried if Aaryan and Riya had a fight and worried told Raghunath about their bonding.

"I don't know why, but they don't look like a happily married couple to me" Anjali said.

"Fights are meant to happen in a marriage Anjali, don't worry about it. They will get over it" he said comforting her.

"I have this weird feeling like..I don't know maybe she is suffering.." Anjali said remembering how she looked when they saw her as they came home.

"Don't worry and just sleep. I will talk with Aaryan about it" He reassured her but she was still feeling uneasy.

Aaryan had came home and saw that everyone had retired to their rooms already, he then saw Sahil standing before his room looking down.

"what's wrong" Aaryan asked and Sahil looked at Aaryan only to see that he was crying.

"what happened Sahil" Aaryan asked taking him into a hug and Sahil immediately put his arms across his neck and wailed into him.

"Riya..pushed me..Riya doeznot like me" He cried and Aaryan felt sad for the poor nephew. He then took him to the garden down and laid there on the grass gazing at the stars in the sky. Sahil had sobbed a few more times since then and was silent.
