Gautam said, "Maa, listen to me."
Gautam pulled Rekha ji aside and briefly explained the situation to her.
Only then did Rekha ji catch on.She raised her head and slapped his arm. "Were you out of your mind Gautam? Why you did this? Does Megha knows about this? Are you sure that the child isn't yours?"
She barged the questions one after other.
"Maa... Yes, I'm sure. The child in her womb is not mine!"
Rekha ji's expression hardened.
She walked a few steps forward while looking at Shreya who was still crying.
"Shreya, I didn't expect you to be such a person. How could you have thought of using such a method to get pregnant with my Gautam's child?"
Shreya responded angrily, "What do you mean, 'such a method'? If not for the dadaji's obstruction at the start, Gautam and I would not have turned out like this today. Auntie, the entire Kapoor family is here today. I'm pregnant with his child, with your eldest grandchild. Is your family going to reject this child?"
Rekha ji said, "Putting aside the fact that this child doesn't carry the blood of the Gautam, we don't want it even if it does since you became pregnant with it using such a method. I don't care if I am being immoral, but we don't want this child."
Shreya did not expect Rekha ji to actually say this.
"You... You don't want it? Ha, did you tell dadaji about this? Doesn't he want his own grandson?"
Rekha ji said, "Gautam already said that this child of yours isn't his and I believe him."
Shreya scoffed, "How can he be sure that it isn't his? He is completely under that Megha's spell right now so of course, he hopes that the child isn't his. But it is indeed his child. If you listen to him, you will only lose your grandson. Just think about how long Megha has been together with Gautam, and yet there's no sign of a child. Maybe there's just something wrong with her and she can't get pregnant. If you reject this child now, don't regret it if Gautam has no children in the future."
It was true that Rekha ji was anxious to have a grandchild.
But she wanted Megha to give birth to her grandson, not this woman before her whom she absolutely loathed. Megha and Gautam will have children when they feel ready.
She was not going to pressure them. She was not that evil mother-in-law!
Alas, the relatives of the Kapoor family behind her did not think the same way.
