Third Person POV

It has been two months since I left his house and he did not even try to stop me. I know it should not bother me but it did. Trying to forget his memories, I opened my wardrobe and took out my clothes and got ready for office. While getting ready, I looked at my already showing belly and could not help but smile.

I got down and sat on the table to have breakfast with the rest of the family. Dada Ji and Dadi Ji were bickering and everyone was smiling hearing their cute fights even after 40 years of marriage. Everyone was looking so happy and seeing them laughing made me happy.

But as soon as Chachi saw me, she stopped smiling and returned to her usual angry demeanour. I sighed and joined them anyway. Everything about her changed since she came to know that I am pregnant. I don't know why but I know it hurts a lot.

"Misha lets go?" Avinash bhaiya questioned me while getting up from the table. Yes, he is back from the US along with Anu bhabhi. He was the one who gave me encouragement to leave Vivaan's house and return home and honestly I was so grateful to him. But I could not bring myself to tell him the truth about Vivaan and me. Everyone in the family still believes that this child is not Vivaan's and I did not correct them. If I did, then Avi bhaiya would go to war with Vivaan and then I don't know what will happen.

As soon as Avi bhaiya found about my marriage with Vivaan, he got very angry as he hates Vivaan and thought that there is something fishy. But I convinced him and in return he made me come back home.

"Hanji bhaiya, aap car nikaalo, I am coming" I walked back to my room to grab with office bag. On the way out, I bumped into Chachi.

"Sorry chachi" I looked down to pick up my bag.

"How long are you going to keep staying here huh? It has been two months since Avi brought you back and I could not stop him. But I thought you would be gone in a week but no! Yeh maharani toh yaheen rehne aayi hai. Do you even know, what everyone in the society is saying!? They are saying ki tumhare husband be tumhe chhod diya hai .... and meri pyaari beti ke liye rishte bhi nahi aayenge ab. Such a bad omen you are."

Her words struck me hard. "Chachi woh..."

"Enough! You better leave this house soon or else you will see the real me and I will not spare you" and then chachi went away.

Throughout the day, I kept myself busy trying to forget what chachi had said.

Within the last two months, it did come to my mind that I should divorce Vivaan but I couldn't because I don't want my child to be fatherless. Only if in name, Vivaan was the father of my child and not having a father will make my baby the target of mean comments and I don't want that.

At night, dadi ji came to my room. "Misha beta, kaisi hai meri beti?" she hugged me and I could not stop myself from smiling and cuddling her. She has been a mother to me after my parents left.

I rested my head on her lap "Dadi I am good and baby Is also good" smiling i looked down at my belly.

"Lovely beta! Vivaan se hoti hena tumhari baat?" just hearing his name, I felt hurt. In the last two months he never tried to contact me, never!
