"I clearly warned you before the marriage, you can't treat her like this! you said you love her-"
"Not anymore, I don't even want to look at her." I cut across Sachin angrily. I was still half-drunk.
"That's why you are the biggest loser in this world Nivin, nobody can help you if you keep doing this to yourself." Sachin sounded furious.
"She planned everything to destroy me!"
"If you think Riya would do something to hurt you, I don't have anything to talk to you!"
"Don't talk like you know everything, Sachin, she knew everything before the marriage, but she kept it from me!"
"And why did she do it? Did you even give her a chance to explain?" he asked me, "I saw the CCTV footage Nivin, She was following you, trying to explain and you nearly ran over her in the parking lot-"
"Shut up, Sachin, shut the hell up-"
"Hear me out you heartless jerk, she waited for you in that apartment for 48 hours, not even taking a drop of water, in that same chair, waiting for you, Nivin Aldrick, she's now unconscious, still in the emergency room, I hope you are happy."
I froze then, my mind going blank. The words affected me more than it should and part of me felt the pain.
Jeez! she betrayed me and I am still worried about her!

family?
For Riya, who is brought up by the orphanage, it's the most precious dream. For her, a family is a group of people who will stand by you in all situations.

As I took a seat beside her, I realised that she was awfully quiet.
"Is everything fine", I asked her.
Naina licked her lips and looked at me. For a few seconds none of us said anything and then finally she said-
"Aakash, my family has a second-hand car. I have been earning for quite sometime now but my savings aren't enough for even a bike. We live in a small apartment, which you have seen already, throughout my life I have shared everything...my books, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, even my laptop with my elder sister."
I did not understand why Naina was saying all this with a sad expression. To me, everything that concerns her always feels happy and worth being proud of. She continued-
"What I am saying Aakash, is that I am nowhere worthy, capable, or even habituated of a life where my husband owns a house with an elevator or where he wishes to buy me a helicopter. We are so different, Aakash. This scares me a lot".
Not even for a moment have I ever felt that Naina would be insecure of my living standards. But, I understood where she was coming from.
"Naina", I replied, "All this extravagant decorations, this lavish home, my expensive lifestyle,none of this means anything to me. It is a facade I have to maintain for the world. YOU ARE MY HOME".
