BLOOMING LOVE FROM HATE

Chapter 4

Flashback (7 Months Ago)

Nithya had been feeling tired and nauseous lately. Despite her condition, she continued her role as a dutiful daughter-in-law without fail, ensuring her family and husband were well taken care of. She attended to everything, from ironing his clothes to polishing his shoes, never compromising on his food and health.

At first, Adithya pushed her away by refusing to eat the meals she prepared and not wearing the clothes she pressed. He avoided everything she did for him. However, after several months of Nithya's relentless efforts, he eventually relented and accepted her care—but not her.

Both his grandparents and parents noticed the distance he was keeping from Nithya, but they refrained from discussing it openly, believing that he would come around with time.

One day, while Nithya was cooking breakfast, she suddenly felt nauseated by the smell of eggs. Covering her mouth, she rushed to the washbasin and began to vomit. Her grandmother, noticing her distress, came to help her wash her face and made her sit on the couch. She offered her some water and asked if she was okay. Having observed Nithya looking tired and pale over the past few days, her grandmother felt something was amiss. She asked Nithya when her last period was, and after hearing the answer, her grandmother's face lit up with joy. She hugged Nithya lovingly and rushed to inform Adithya's mother about the pregnancy.

Upon hearing the news, Adithya's mother was shocked. Given her son's distance from Nithya, she had thought they hadn't consummated their marriage yet. Nevertheless, she felt happiness at the prospect of their family welcoming an heir. With her elder son, Prem, having a daughter, she had longed for a grandson. She placed her right hand on Nithya's head, blessing her to deliver a healthy grandson for the family, before heading to inform her husband about the news.

Nithya's grandmother advised her to go to her room and share the good news with Adithya herself, as well as to schedule an appointment with the doctor. Nithya hesitated but eventually nodded, taking slow steps toward her room. She felt apprehensive about how he would react to the news. In a corner of her heart, she hoped that the baby would bring them closer together and that Adithya would finally accept her as his wife. A small ray of hope flickered within her: perhaps this baby could change her life.

Lost in these thoughts, she opened the door to find her husband getting ready for work. Sensing her presence, he glanced at her through the mirror and asked sternly, "What do you want?" Startled by his tone, she stammered, "I... I... Grandma told me to ask you to fix an appointment with the doctor."

Turning abruptly to face her, Adithya asked, "What? What happened? Is anyone ill?"

"No, everyone is alright, but I... I... I'm pregnant," she said in a barely audible voice. Adithya was taken aback, feeling as if the ground had slipped from beneath his feet. Not believing what he had just heard, he asked again, "What did you say? Come again."

Terrified by his reaction, Nithya slowly repeated, "I... I'm pregnant."
