accidental wedding

32

Sejal :

That night, Adhyaan came home late, and I didn't even bother to check on him. As someone who rarely shows emotion, his indifference towards me earlier had left me feeling vulnerable and hesitant. It made me think twice before approaching him again or trying to talk to him.

So, I just stayed in my room, figuring that he wouldn't bother to come to me anyway. It seemed like he didn't care enough to make an effort, and I wasn't going to put myself out there to be ignored or rejected again.

Despite knowing that Adhyaan had given up on us long ago, a part of me still held onto hope. It's human nature to cling to expectations, even when we claim we don't have any. Deep down, we still hope for a different outcome. And it's precisely this hope that makes us vulnerable to hurt.

Breaking this hope is painful because it's hard to accept that things won't work out, even when everything suggests otherwise. I think it depends on the person whether they're willing to let go of hope or hold onto it, even when all seems lost.

I'm still grappling with the pain of our broken bond, and I can't help but wonder why I'm the only one who seems to care. Was it because I was the only one genuinely investing in our relationship? Was everything he did just a facade? He seemed sincere at the time, but something clearly went awry.

I should have seen the signs earlier, like when he left me for a year after our marriage without even acknowledging me. I was the one holding onto hope for something more. It's clear now that I need to learn to let go of expectations and not set myself up for disappointment.

It's emotionally exhausting to dwell on this situation all day, knowing there's nothing I can do to fix it. The outcome depends entirely on the other person's willingness to reciprocate my efforts.

It's a helpless feeling, realizing that I've done all I can, and now it's out of my hands. The uncertainty and lack of control are draining my emotional energy, leaving me feeling powerless and stuck.

The next morning, I headed to the kitchen for a bite to eat, having gone without food since the previous night. As I entered, I locked eyes with Adhyaan, who was coming downstairs. Our gaze held for a few moments before I broke it, focusing on getting my food.

While I was taking out some food, I heard his phone ring in the kitchen and he spoke

" I can't meet today."

I didn't feel right about his words, though I couldn't quite put my finger on why. I knew it could be related to his work, but something about it just didn't sit well with me.

So, he headed towards the parking area to go to the office, while I remained in the kitchen preparing my meal. Afterward, I went to my room, which had a window overlooking the parking area, providing a clear view of his departure.

And what I saw left me stunned, my eyes fixed on the scene in disbelief. I saw a girl hugging Adhyaan, her arms wrapped tightly around him, and she whispered something in his ear. My mind raced as I tried to process what I was seeing. Who was this girl, and what was their relationship?.

" I can see it in your eyes , Adhyaan. You still have feelings for me ."

I swiftly closed the curtains and window of my room, shutting out the unsettling scene, and sat on the bed, trying to make sense of what I had just witnessed. I attempted to erase the image from my mind, but it lingered, haunting me. I felt powerless, unable to confront him, to ask what he was doing. The realization hit me hard - I no longer mattered to him. It's better if I leave, I thought. Nothing is going right, his distant behavior, everything now made sense. I wondered, why did he have to do this? Why couldn't he be honest with me?"

Why did you hide the truth? I didn't force you to marry me, so why did you pretend to be someone you're not? You seemed so kind and understanding at first, but now it's all a lie. What changed? Why did you start lying to me? Was it something about me? Did I trust you too much? Tell me, Adhyaan, what made you hide behind lies?.

Did I ask you to give me false hope? You were free to choose, Adhyaan. Why did you choose to hurt me? Did I do something wrong to you?.

If all this between us is a lie, then what am I even doing here? I'm not supposed to be here, not like I was living with him as his wife. It won't matter even if I move. It's better if I get out of all this, it's too much. I want to ask him many questions, but it seems I don't have the strength. It's better if I just take my belongings and move out.

I packed all my belongings and waited until he left the house. Once I was sure he was gone, I gathered my things and moved out. I walked for a bit, then hailed a cab. To be honest, I had no idea where to go, but I desperately needed some peace. Everything felt wrong, and I knew I had to get out of there fast. So, I decided to head to the railway station.

Adhyaan :

I'm at a loss about what's happening in my life - nothing seems to be going right. Kriti, it's all because of her. She's someone I never wanted to think about again. I was happy with Sejal. I don't know why she had to come back into my life now.

Until now, I've managed to bear it all. But today, she pulled a stunt that was too much to handle. I have no idea why she's here after all these years. Kriti, she's a part of my past that I never wanted to revisit. She was once everything I had wished for, but not anymore. I don't understand love; it can't be defined. You can't just decide one day that you're in love. I feel like you don't even realize you're in love. Love is like that - it's complex and unpredictable.

But with Kriti, I thought everything was fine, but it wasn't. When we're too invested in someone, we tend to see only what we want to see, and that's exactly what happened with Kriti. We said we loved each other, but I had serious doubts about that. I was blinded by my feelings and couldn't see the reality of the situation.

She was once a part of my life, but not anymore. Everything is a mess because of Kriti; her presence has stirred up memories that have left me shaken. And because of this, my relationship with Sejal is suffering, and despite knowing what's happening, I'm unable to do anything about it. Why? Because I'm emotionally exhausted and drained, unable to cope with anything right now.

I really don't know why she showed up. Everything was okay until she appeared at my doorstep that morning to talk to me.

When she spoke desperately

"Adhyaan, please listen to me! I know I hurt you in the past, but I've realized my mistakes and I want to make it right."

I spoke while being angry

"What are you doing here, Kriti ? You left me for someone else and now you want to come back? No, I'm not interested."

She spoke pleading

" Adhyaan, I know I can't undo what's been done, but I want to try to make it up to you. I still have feelings for you."

I spoke bitterly

" Feelings? You call what you did to me ? You ripped my heart out and now you want to play the victim?"

She spoke

" I know I hurt you, but I was young and stupid. I didn't know what I wanted. But now I do, and I want you."

I spoke sarcastic way

"Oh, how convenient. You want me now that you've realized your mistake. Well, it's too late. I've moved on."

She spoke desperately again

"No, you haven't! I can see it in your eyes, Adhyaan. You still have feelings for me."
