"Why? You like making out with him in the washroom but not like your husband just an inch close to you-"

And with that I just couldn't control but crash my fingers on his right cheek with a great force. It sounded like a crack and I knew I took the right step. He deserved it.

"Don't you dare question my relationship with Aahil. He is my brother and will always be one and no one...you hear that? No one can change this fact," I just shouted at him.

"How dare you fucking slap me?" He was shocked and furious but he shouldn't be. All that he has done in the past six years stands nothing before this one tight slap.

"How dare you fucking talk shit about my character? How dare you question the existence of your kids? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? Why can't-"
"What do you mean by 'your kids'?" He just cut me in the middle and looked at me with a baffled expression. He was rooted at his place. He seemed to look void of any emotions.

He has to know...

What my mother did, I don't want to repeat this with my kids. It will be unfair.

"Yes they are your children," I said, as a matter of fact and just as I did, accept everything without any hassle, I expected Arjun to do the same. I expected this man to trust me...

How can I forget? Trust and Arjun can never ever go together!

"What rubbish. You are going to bring some illegitimate children of yours in front of me and claim them to be mine just for your own selfish needs...I can't believe this," I let him complete whatever he wanted to say. Trust me, internally, my happiness knew no bounds. It was good that he didn't accept it and I didn't want to prove it either. This means that now I can easily tell my children that their dad didn't accept them and it wasn't because he didn't love them or something but because he loved his ego and his girlfriend more than anyone else in this world and that they deserve much much better.

But I was hurt too. Illegitimate is a big word. It has a dirty meaning and I don't want that to be associated with my children. I don't want them to face a situation so complex as I am facing right now. I don't want them to feel bad about their parents' relationship. I cannot let them be declared illegitimate either.

"It won't take another second for me to imprint another mark of my fingers on your cheek but you know what Arjun, you are a kind of person who can never change. Talking to you is pointless so you just say...say as much as you want to. How can I forget that I was expecting trust from YOU," I chuckled bitterly and added, "Accept it or not that they are you kids, atleast don't name them illegitimate. It hurts and I know you feel immense pleasure in hurting me but for the sake of those children who according to you are born out of this wedlock, don't call them with that name,"

I don't know if it sounded like a plead or something because when it comes to my children, I cannot take any shit.

"Do you have any proof?" He asked, his voice sounding hopeful.

"No. Take my words or forget everything," I replied.

I felt his expressions soften for a while though his eyes were still the same...cold and emotionless.

I didn't want to look into them. I just wanted to run away from this place. I was happy back there. I was just living peacefully. And now, my head feels like it's hammering from inside. I feel I might explode out of immense pressure I am going through.
