Chapter 3

When Taani opened her eyes, she was in a room. Upon looking around, she vaguely recognized this as the guest room at Rithvik and Asha's house. Why was she here?  And why did she have a killer headache? What happened? Her brows furrowed as she tried to recall the incidents that took place. When she couldn't, she opened her mouth to scream for Rithvik, and suddenly, she was hit with memories all at once. Never mind,' she thought.

She started with a trembling voice, "Ab puchne ka koi faida nahin. Bhai mere saath aisa kaise kar sakte hain? Bachpan se lekar ab tak mera itna khayal rakha. Apni sagi behen se bhi zyada pyaar diya, aur kale k hi pal mein rishta tod diya. Hey krishnaji, kya main itni buri hoon ki mujhe sab chodkar chale jaate hain? Pehle mom dad mujhe orphanage mein chodkar chale gaye. Phir tauji ne mujhe bohot dundhkar apni family mein accept kiya. Beti banaya. Ek behen banaya. Aur aaj, usi parivaar ka pyaar us bhai ne cheen liya. Yahan aayi, to Rey mein pyaar mila. Mujhe laga ki mujhe mera Jeevan saathi, mera humsafar mil gaya hai, par vo bhi muhje chodkar chale gaye. Jo friends the, vo bhi chale gaye. Ab mere paas khone ke liye bacha hi kya hai?!" By the end of her monologue, she was crying and sobbing. Hearing her cries, Rithvik rushed into her room and gathered her in his arms.

"Shhh...rote nahin. Rote nahin Tanu, chup, chup. Bilkul chup. Shhh." He spoke softly, rubbing her back, hoping she would calm down. Seeing movement out of the corner of his eye, he saw his girlfriend standing at the door. He pleaded with his eyes for her to come in and comfort the crying girl so that he could get her something from the kitchen to help her. She nodded and took the crying girl from him as he rushed out of the room, cursing Taani's so called family.
