Their Three wives

⑥

Saanvi’s Fury

Saanvi paced around her living room, her heart pounding as she tried to process everything. Her phone buzzed on the coffee table, but she ignored it. She didn’t want to speak to anyone—least of all the men she had thought she knew. Everything Namjoon had told her last night replayed in her mind, each word striking her like a lightning bolt.

“We’re married to three women.”

That one sentence had shattered her world. How could they keep something so huge from her? She thought she was their first and only wife, their confidante, their partner in everything. And yet, all this time, they had been hiding two other women from her. The thought made her feel sick.

Her phone buzzed again, this time with a call. She glanced down and saw it was Sneha. After their brief conversation yesterday, Saanvi had realized she wasn’t the only one living in a lie. But now, she wasn’t sure if she was ready to face Sneha either. Everything was too raw, too overwhelming.

Finally, she picked up, her voice sharp. “Sneha?”

There was a pause before Sneha responded, her voice trembling. “Saanvi, I… I found out. They told me.”

Saanvi closed her eyes, her hands balling into fists. “They told me too. I don’t even know what to think anymore. I’ve been married to them for six years, Sneha. Six years. And they’ve been lying to me this whole time.”

“I’ve been married for four years,” Sneha said softly. “I thought I knew them. I thought they loved me.”

“They probably do love us,” Saanvi said bitterly. “But they’ve been lying to us from the beginning. What kind of love is that?”

Sneha sniffled, and Saanvi could hear the tears in her voice. “What are we going to do, Saanvi? I don’t even know how to feel. I love them, but how can I trust them after this?”

Saanvi didn’t have an answer. All she knew was that her entire life had been turned upside down in an instant, and now, she was left trying to pick up the pieces.

Sahana’s Heartbreak

Sahana sat in her favorite café, staring blankly at her untouched coffee. The conversation with Yoongi the night before had left her reeling. She had tried to sleep, but every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was his face as he told her the truth.

Married. He was married to two other women, and she hadn’t had the slightest clue.

Sahana felt like a fool. She had been so in love with Yoongi, so happy in their marriage, and now it felt like everything had been built on lies. The man she thought she knew wasn’t the man she had married. He had been hiding something from her—something that went beyond just another woman. It was two whole other lives he was leading, and she hadn’t seen it coming.

Her thoughts were interrupted when her phone buzzed. She checked the screen and saw a message from Saanvi. She had never spoken to her before, but now, it seemed inevitable that the three wives would be forced to come together.

Saanvi: We should meet. The three of us. I think we need to talk about everything that’s happened.

Sahana stared at the message, her heart sinking. The idea of meeting the other women felt overwhelming, but at the same time, she knew it had to happen. There was no way they could move forward without confronting the situation head-on.

Sahana: Okay. When and where?

A few minutes later, a location and time were set. It was decided: all three wives would meet to confront the truth.
