Wrong Decisions to Right Paths

Last Chapter

Radhika POV

It will be our seventh marriage anniversary next month. When looking back now I can't believe what all I have faced to be here today with my three kids. Nandini Aunty still does not like me. Based on our conversation four years ago that also left a bitter taste for her in me.

Arjun is still the most lovable person. He is the best dad, best son, best husband. But something is still missing in our relationship.

When I almost had an abortion with our first child, had left a deep scar in our relationship. Though he says that I am not responsible but somewhere it has strained the relationship between my mom, me and Arjun.

Everyone knows about Nandini Aunty. How she tried to create rifts between me and Arjun and also how she did not wanted me to have babies. But end of the day I am here with my son and two daughters.

My mom got remarried. Though it's not very common in India to get married at her age but she is happy and I am happy for her. Dad got busy with his own family. We talk occasionally. I realized that my dad was not completely at fault for the failed relationship with my mom. Mom also had her fair share of mistakes. But now they are both content with their lives.

Ridhima had three daughters and one son. Samaira had one more son. The friendship bond we had initially is not there anymore just a relative responsibility with each other. Now she tries to be good but I am who I am. I don't forgive easily.

I don't know what everyone thinks about me. But after looking at the struggles people faced because of other people, I did not wanted to have same fate as them. I stood for myself and my kids. The only mistake that I regret till date is I should have never hidden anything from Arjun. I should have told him everything before what all was going on around me with his mom, his sister and everything. How would I have trusted him when even after knowing how his mom hates me he kept quite and tried to handle it by himself. He also did not trusted me earlier.

We learnt from our mistakes. Now we try to be as transparent as possible with each other.

Coming out from my thoughts I look outside to see Arjun playing with the kids. I love to see them play. I love how Arjun cares for his children. I love how my kids are receiving love from their father which I did not received. I slowly went outside to sit on the bench.

Arjun came and sat down beside me and kept his hand on my shoulders pulling me towards him followed by a kiss on the temple. No words were shared but silence was shared as we watched our children.

I did not had a happily ever after like everyone wanted but I did got contendness ever after.

Hi everyone I am sorry for ending it so abruptly. I am not getting time to update. I started college and being mother of three takes its toll. As I already stated that this is a real story so you should have expected such an ending. I know I left a lot of loopholes. I will try to write bonus chapters to reveal what actually happened to have things turned like this. I ended this story because I wanted my readers to have a closure to this story. I hate stories that are left incomplete. Hope you enjoyed the story. Thanks for reading and appreciating the story.

Secret fact: The ending is actually real. They are going to have their marriage anniversary next month.

I will try to update bonus chapters but it may take longer than expected.
