•His Unmarried Widow!•

12. Truth.

N A K S H A T R A

I arrived my house an hour ago while Adhwit stayed there. I spent some time with Aishwarya and she even introduced me with her bestfriend Isha. If we talk about her, Isha is such a nice girl. I, Aishwarya, Isha and Shreesh enjoy our afternoon and then I cooked Kheer, Aish's favourite, Kachoris, Isha's favourite and dosa, Shreesh's favourite. Well I didn't cooked for anyone else because I didn't knew their preferences. Including my own husband's. 

Adhwit informed me that he'll come at night, through the ride, me and Mihir Bhai ate my favourite street food... I am sooo happy and excited to meet little champ! Bhai informed that maa and papa had gone to some friend's house, as they are leaving for Australia.
Sitting in living room, I and Nupur are watching our favourite tv show, while I changed into my comfys!!! Mihir Bhai hasn't showed up till now! I left nupur there as maa papa arrived and I went upstairs towards bhai's Room.

“Trust me div, I will introduce you to our family!” “Our?” “Yes, our! You are my wife!” said bhai, hugging the lady in front of him. “Till when Mihir? Till when? I'm already 8 months pregnant and the doctor has suggested me bed rest, but look at me, I've been working full time all alone what if one day something happenes? My parents know that I live with you!” pregnant? Who is this div? “Please Div please wait for a while my love, wait for a while! For the sake of this sindoor, for the sake of this mangalsutra and for the sake of our unborn child!” Tf? Bhai is married! “For you my love, I left my company on the behalf of my assistant!” not able to handle anymore, I pushed the door!

“Bhabhi, if you want to enter this house then come with me. And please bare my parents' taunts!!” she smiled, looking at me! “It's okay! You might be Nakshatra right?” I nodded “Mihir always talks about you whenever we meet!” “Ohh! Did my mention interrupted your quality time?” “Ohh it would never! Infact I love how my husband has a beautiful bond with his sister!” she smiled! As we ran downstairs, bhai also followed me begging me to stop!

“Maa, Papa, may I have your attention please!” “Is she Divya?” “You remember me aunty!” maa nodded. “Maa, I want to tell you that, Bhai is married!” “Married? To whom?” ma said shocked and Nupur almost spat out the water.
“You already met your daughter in law a moment ago! And not only did he married her, but also she is pregnant from 8 months!” maa's eyes widened. Maa pointed towards her and I nodded. Then she looked at bhai who's head was hung low. Currently I don't care about him, I can't let a girl's life be ruined... My mother, ran to bhai and looked at him with red eyes. “Look into my eye Adhwit when I talk to you.” said papa accompanying maa. “Papa vo me aapko batane hi wala tha.” “Kab, jab vo maa ban jati?” “Are phele kyu nahi bataya huh? Hum usko bedrest karate, uski god bharte, uske baby ke liye shopping karte and what not!” “Maa?” everyone looked at her with shock. “Haa or kya?” “Aren't you both angry on me?” “No. If it's Divya, if it's the girl you're dating from 7 years then no!” “Ye kese-” “me and your papa already knew about it. We want you to confess it with us!” “Great then. Well maa, godbharai to abhi bhi ho sakti h. Chaar din baad aapki aniversary h, tabhi hi kar sakte h!” “perfect!”

Slowly slowly, it was evening and I and Divya bhabhi talked a lot. We were soo cozy and comfy around each other. I just love bhai's choices. I also told her that how I married Adhwit, and she was soo sad. She also told me that she and bhai married 2 years ago. Just as we were discussing something, I heard a knock on my door, I didn't dare to look at it and “Come in” is what I said before the scene infront of me left no choice but to   look at him with disappointment. “Why did you came so early Adhwit?” “Early? Mrs Oberoi, it's already 10.” “10 wtf! Mujhe pata hi nahi chala.” “Samay ki khabar rakho barkhurdar Varna kab apne pati ke pyar me pad jaogi tumhe kud uski khabar nahi hogi!” whispered bhabhi. “ The day when I'll fall in love with him will never exist!” I smirked back. “lets see!” “Anyways bhabhi, meet Adhwit, the person whom I'm married to. And Adhwit, she is my Bhabhi, carrying my 8 months old Nibling...

[Nibling is referred as a gender neutral term for nephew or niece!]

He smiled. But there was a hint of questions in his eyes. “You might be thinking why didn't you met her at the wedding, because we didn't know bhai had a 8 months old pregnant wife before today!”

--------------------------------------------------
I never knew my brother’s hidden tale,
A love he nurtured, strong yet frail.
Seven years ago, they crossed paths wide,
Now she's the mother, love's secret bride.
He holds the truth, afraid to share,
The weight of silence, too much to bear.
