Trayambak’s POV-
I still can’t believe Dhimahi hid everything from me. She kept her pregnancy a secret. From me. The man who loves her more than anything else in this world. The man who should have been the first to know. I wonder… what was she thinking? What would she have done when her belly started showing? How long was she planning to keep me in the dark?
Maybe it’s my fault.
No, not maybe. It is my fault. I shouldn't have said those things to her. My words… they broke something in her. I hurt her so deeply that she couldn’t trust me anymore—not even with something as life-changing as this.
But I’ll fix everything. I have to.
I can’t hurt her. Not again. Not her, not the mother of my child. I brought Dhimahi, Trinetra, and Dhanay to our home. Trinetra is slowly recovering, and honestly, Dhanay deserves all the credit for that. His quiet presence, his comfort—he’s been her anchor.
Right now, Dhimahi is in Trinetra’s room, sitting with Dhanay. I want to see her, touch her, just be near her. But she’s busy talking to her brother. That’s okay. Let her be. I have the night to make things right. I just need a moment alone with her.
Dhimahi’s POV-
I asked Trayambak about the hospital incident again, but as always, he dismissed me.
"Kya karoge jaan ke? Maine sab sambhal liya hai."
["What will you do by knowing? I’ve handled everything."]
He says he managed everything, and I believe that… but don’t I deserve to know what happened? I saw it with my own eyes—Trayambak bleeding, a man lying in a pool of blood. But I don’t know the why, the how. And it’s eating me alive.
I sat with everyone in Trinetra's room. I didn’t want to bring it up in front of her. She’s already been through so much. I know she can listen to us and I don’t want to trigger those memories again. So I waited until she fell asleep.
I tried taking Dhanay out of the room, but Trinetra got visibly anxious. She can't talk now, but her expressions—her eyes—say everything. I could feel.
Eventually, Trinetra drifted off to sleep. Trayambak had an important meeting, so he went to another room to attend it virtually. Before leaving, he leaned in and kissed me on the lips. Out of nowhere. After two months of silence, not even a peck on the cheek, this was the first time he had touched me like that.
This man… so shameless. Our younger siblings are right here! Dhanay looked so awkward he immediately shifted his gaze to the ceiling like it is the most important thing in the universe.
Once Trayambak was gone, I took the chance.
"Dhanay, aaj hospital mein kya hua tha?"
["Dhanay, what exactly happened at the hospital today?"]
"Didi, aap mat socho itna. Kuch nahi hua. Bura sapna samajh ke bhool jao."
["Didi, don’t overthink it. Nothing happened. Just think of it as a bad dream."]
"Nahi Dhanay, mujhe jaan'na hai."
["No, Dhanay. I have to know."]
"Main nahi bata paunga."
["I can’t tell you."]
My heart sank. Why does no one trust me with the truth? First Trayambak, now Dhanay. Am I so fragile that I don’t deserve to know what’s happening around me?
"Okay."
That’s all I could manage. I turned to leave. Everything’s just... too much. I’m carrying a child, my husband called me a pawn, my family is under attack, and now no one will even talk to me.
