AUTHOR'S POV

Chhavi stood frozen on the cold marble floor, struggling to absorb everything that had unfolded in the last hour- an hour that had changed her life, entirely. In an instant, her perspective on everything shifted. The power that truth and lies held was overwhelming.

Her head began to spin. It was all too much to bear.

Whom should she turn to? Whom could she trust?

What if the clips were fabricated? What if someone was trying to sabotage her family life or tarnish her husband's reputation?

No matter how hard she tried to justify the situation to herself, the images from the clips kept flashing in her mind- her husband...making out with another woman. It send chills down her spine making her feel terribly disgusted.

Moreover, the justification her mother-in-law provided! It ruined her. Suddenly, she felt like she didn't recognize the people she had spent years trying to please, trying to climb into their good books. But all she ever received were taunts, disregard, and now, this justification.

A part of her soul withered when that old woman accused her of being the reason her husband was sleeping with another woman. She wasn't providing enough!

How could she be blamed for this? How could they dismiss her pain so easily?

Her heart ached as if it were being shredded to pieces, inflicting a slow, pathetic pain in every pore of her existence.

What sin have I committed, God! Why me?!

She welled internally as tears continued falling since time unknown.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands embrace her from behind. The sensation was familiar but this time, instead of warmth, she felt disgust. Utter disgust!

She felt his hot breath fanning on the crook of her neck as he cooed in the tone that used to bring her comfort. Not anymore! Now, it only fueled the fire of hatred brewing within her.

He acted as if nothing was wrong, as if she were fussing over trivial matters.

How could he just walk in...like...like this isn't happening? Like he wasn't the one who had shattered everything? Shattered me!

That was it!

She forcefully turned around while his hands were still intact around her and with all her might, strengthen by her anger, pushed him off herself.

He fell on the bed with a thud, shock washing over his face as eyes bulged out at her furiousness.

"You shameless cheater! How dare you touch me?" Her voice was a harsh whisper of pain but the fire behind her words blazed bright. "Never touch me with those filthy hands of yours! Never! Ever!"

Her heart raced as she felt the adrenaline surge through her veins. The more she looked at his face, the more she felt the betrayal sting her like a fresh wound not ready to heal at an easy cost.

They both silently looked at each other for some minutes. her havy breathes were the only ones echoing in the pin- drop silent room fuel by her enrage. Her heavy breaths echoed in the pin-drop silent room, fueled by her rage. Flared nostrils and red watery eyes reflected her disappointment, making Vinesh nervous. But he wasn't the type to back down.

I know how to handle her.

"Chhavi, my love, what makes you think I could cheat on you? For god sake, we've a daughter. We're a family. I love you with my heart and soul, babe. Why're you accusing me of cheating, love."
