An Unexpected Meet

Y/n’s POV

It was Monday morning. The first day after the weekend was always strenuous with the number of students showing up for the classes. By one in the afternoon I was done with the classes after sending off the last kid home . His mother was a joyous person who loved conversations and she had an extra level of excitement while boasting about her kid. I appreciated that . Parents should be more verbal while appreciating their children.

But anyhow, long conversations tired me out easily these days . I walked back inside the then empty classroom, letting out a deep sigh . It was a mess inside with papers and colors scattered everywhere. Last week the head of the community had politely requested me to help clean the mess after classes because other teachers would have problems taking classes in the evening. I understood and I agreed in an instant to do so .

But these days even the slightest work would drain me . The doctor had mentioned that the first few months of pregnancy usually are harder than the rest . Tiredness, fatigue, nausea , these were all symptoms of it. 

I strode towards the misplaced chairs and grabbed one of it to place back in front of the desk . As I went ahead to do the same for the other chairs , a knock on the door interrupted, causing me to turn back and meet eye to eye with the person standing.

“ You can leave that work upto them . They will take care of it every day. " The woman in her thirties said while sending a sign by pointing her fingers inside the classroom and instantly two men followed in , taking the chair I held in my hand , in their grasps and working wordlessly . She gave away the idea of richness and luxury even in the way she dressed adorning a black top along with blue wide leg jeans and a good slender chain around her neck . Even though elegant, her bright red lips were a sign of something fierce .

“ Aria ? " I called out her name , rather puzzled by her presence. First Taehyung and now his sister . This family was impossible to escape from. “Oh hey ! Mind if we can have a word of two in private ? "
" Why are you here ? “ I let my hands fall relentlessly to my sides , eyes moving along with Aria’s stances , approaching me . "Amazing . That will sort for both of us ." She reached out to entangle her hands around my elbow , in an attempt to bring me to walk along with her . I wasn't having her casual act .

As a result I shrugged away from her hold , my reaction giving away the distaste I felt.  “ I don't care about what you wish to say . If you don't have any better things to do then please leave." Aria had the same reaction as before. Subtle with a hint of smile . It was infuriating somehow. “ I am pretty sure you'd want to know once I speak." “ Well then you speak." I countered, finding myself losing my temper. The day was busy , I could feel tiredness itching every muscle in my body and here she stood trying to brew a drama . I wasn't having any of it .

“ I want to talk about Taehyung. Certain things which cannot be spoken in the open. A little privacy would be great . " My eyebrows rose in realization, replacing the previous furrow . It had to be about the lawsuit. There was a scorching fury that I had started to feel by then.

“ I get it now ." My eyes trailed over the surroundings. Those men had already cleaned more than half of the classroom with their trained hands leaving a hint of perfection in their management skills . “ You are here to convince me to drop the lawsuit." As I looked up at Aria , her eyes scrutinized as she smacked her lips , making a disgruntled noise. “Yeah no . You are halfway there but I'm trying to do something here otherwise. " “ What ?" She only smirked . “ I'll tell you but first some privac- " “ Yeah fuck your privacy!" I had had enough of her presence and words.  That was my cue to walk past her in an attempt to stride out of the room .

But her next words put me sturdy on my feet , stuck to the floor . “ Taehyung didn't cheat on you . " My hands fisted as automatically as the scene from that night flashed in front of my sight . If he wasn't having an affair behind my back then what could have that possibly meant?

“ I saw him . " I stated firmly, looking ahead at the exit door . There was an exhale which came from Aria's side . “ You two , leave the room . Work's done. " The men left wordlessly, walking past me , opening the door , stepping out and closing it back . Only I and my used to be sister in law stood in the empty classroom then . “ I don't speak without proof.  I can prove it to you that he didn't. “ When I turned back , finally the hint of a smile had left her face , leaving her to look serious.

“ I know how you people manipulate things. I'm not going to believe anything when my ex husband himself confessed that he loves that woman. " My mouth felt a bitter aftertaste when I spelt those words out . It was like a personal stab on my already agonized chest . “ This must be some kind of a game to you , isn't it ? Trying to manipulate people, making them believe your words , see things your way and then save yourselves from the upcoming hit. I know the strategy now . " It was me who smiled this time , a taunting laugh at the end of my words while Aria stood there wordless for a while. 

“ And what if I show you exactly what actually happened ? No manipulation, no words , just the CCTV footage of Taehyung's office. But then again, before I do there's something you need to know. About Taehyung. The man who accepted the claim of him cheating, gave you a divorce right after and yet couldn't stop reaching out to you when he saw possible threats against you ." I tilted my head in confusion. A threat ? Why would someone put a threat against me ? And…why would he reach out for that ?

“ He stalked me for days . Invaded my privacy-" “ He looked at you from far without stepping into your personal boundary. He never crossed that and never intended to until he received messages with attached pictures of you and the medical reports that stated that you are pregnant. " I couldn't help but step ahead , standing face to face with Aria then . “ How do you know ?" I whispered, my eyes pointedly staring at her . “ It was me who sent those pictures to him from a different number."

My shoulders went stiff and my eyes helplessly widened at the information. “ You did what ?" Disbelief coursed my words . “ I had to do it , otherwise he wouldn't have- " “ This whole family is so messed up ! Fucking messed up!" I cut through her words, my voice reaching to the extreme pitch . My insides churned with anger and adrenaline both. It was an uncomfortable feeling, leaving my chest tight.

“ How can you say all this as if you have done a great job in life ? How can you be so unphased about everything going on ? “ I yelled out my rage in the form of acquisitions and questions . “ I'm not trying to act great or anything neither am I or Taehyung unphased. His actions hurt him and he's okay with it . But he doesn't realize how it's affecting the people surrounding as well . If you'd let me explain certain things then it will be a lot easier for you to understand. And.." she raised her index finger to leave it in front of my face , shutting me from interrupting her speech . “ Calm down. The way you are reacting isn't helping your baby . I can promise that ."

I scoffed at her words before pulling a chair from the side and taking a seat . “You are speaking as if you aren't the reason behind my reactions. You are not a saint Aria. " Aria took a chair as well and sat down across from me . She brought her hands in front of her face and held her face in the palm before sliding them up to let her fingers carve through her loose hair . “ I know I'm not a good person. I'm not trying to be one either. I just want my brother to be heard . “

" He doesn't speak about his own feelings, he hurts himself as if he deserves any of it and right now I want anything but that for him . You can consider me selfish but I think you will understand if you get to know even a little about him . He will never explain it to you until you confront him because he thinks his mess is his burden and nobody should be carrying that burden along with him . But you are his wife…you deserve to know and make your choice whether you'd like to be with him or not . He doesn't get to make a choice on behalf of you and do things. He's exactly doing that right now and I failed to knock senses through his thick skull . “

I sat there in silence, thinking and processing Aria’s words . She sounded a lot more serious, her words sounding as if she meant them. What could it be that she wanted to speak about so desperately ? It did leave me a bit curious. There was not much I knew about Taehyung. If I ended up hearing now , would it change anything that went down between us?

“ Fine . Tell me why you're here Aria . "
