As they stood in their room, Reyansh's eyes narrowed as he looked at Tripti. "So, you're enjoying all the attention, aren't you?" he sneered. "Playing the role of the innocent bride, getting everyone to sympathize with you."
Tripti's eyes flashed with anger. "How dare you!" she spat. "I'm not playing any role. I'm just trying to make the best of a bad situation."
Reyansh snorted. "Save it, Tripti. I'm not buying it. You're just a pawn in your family's game, and you're too blind to see it."
Tripti's face burned with anger. "At least my family doesn't treat me like a business deal," she shot back. "You're just a puppet on strings, dancing to your parents' tune."
Reyansh's eyes darkened, and he took a step closer to Tripti. "You have no idea what you're talking about," he growled. "You're just a naive little girl who thinks she can take on the world."
Tripti stood her ground, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I may not have your wealth or your privilege," she said, "but I have something you'll never have: self-respect."
Reyansh's face twisted in a sneer. "We'll see about that," he said, his voice dripping with malice.
Reyansh's eyes seemed to bore into Tripti's soul, as if trying to intimidate her. "You think you're so clever, don't you?" he sneered. "But let me tell you something, Tripti. You're not as smart as you think you are. You're just a silly little girl playing at being a wife."
Tripti's face burned with anger, but she refused to back down. "And you're just a arrogant, self-absorbed man who thinks he can bully everyone into doing what he wants," she shot back.
Reyansh's eyes narrowed, and he took a step closer to Tripti. "You're pushing your luck, Tripti," he growled. "I'm not a man to be trifled with."
Tripti stood her ground, her heart pounding in her chest. "I'm not afraid of you, Reyansh," she said, her voice steady. "You can try to intimidate me all you want, but it won't work."
Reyansh's face twisted in a sneer. "We'll see about that," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You're going to regret the day you ever crossed me, Tripti."
Tripti's eyes flashed with anger, but she refused to back down. "I'm not afraid of you, Reyansh," she repeated, her voice firm. "And I'm not going to let you bully me into submission."
The air was thick with tension as the two of them stood there, locked in a silent battle of wills. It was clear that this was only the beginning of a long and bitter struggle between them.
Reyansh's face twisted in a cruel smile. "You know, Tripti, you're not even worthy of being my wife," he sneered. "You're just a substitute for Rhea, a poor consolation prize. And let's be real, you're not even that pretty. You're just a plain, ordinary girl who got lucky."
Tripti's eyes widened in shock and hurt as Reyansh's words cut deep into her heart. She felt like she had been punched in the gut, and she couldn't catch her breath.
Reyansh turned and walked away, leaving Tripti standing alone in the room, feeling devastated and humiliated.
As soon as the door closed behind Reyansh, Tripti felt the tears well up in her eyes. She tried to hold them back, but it was no use. She burst into sobs, her body shaking with grief.
She felt like she had been broken, like her heart had been shattered into a million pieces. She couldn't believe that Reyansh could be so cruel, so heartless.
As she cried, Tripti felt like she was mourning the loss of her dignity, her self-respect. She felt like she had been reduced to nothing, like she was worthless.
The tears flowed down her face like a river, and Tripti felt like she was drowning in a sea of sorrow. She didn't know how she was going to survive this, how she was going to make it through the days and weeks and months ahead.
All she knew was that she felt broken, and she didn't know how to put the pieces back together again.
Reyansh's POV:
As I walked out of the room, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that was gnawing at my conscience. I had said some terrible things to Tripti, things that I couldn't take back.
But why had I said them? I knew that Tripti was beautiful, more beautiful than Rhea in many ways. But I had to keep her in the dark, had to make her think that I didn't care for her. It was the only way to protect myself, to prevent myself from getting hurt again.
But as I walked away from the room, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. I had hurt Tripti, and I knew that I would have to face the consequences of my actions.
I felt a strange sensation in my chest, a sensation that I couldn't quite explain. It was as if my heart was heavy, weighed down by the guilt and regret that I was feeling.
I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was always in control, always knew exactly what I wanted. But now, I was feeling confused and uncertain, like I was lost in a sea of emotions that I couldn't navigate.
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I needed to focus, needed to remember why I had married Tripti in the first place. It was a business arrangement, nothing more. And I needed to keep it that way.
But as I walked away from the room, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had just made a terrible mistake.
I walked down the stairs, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach. I couldn't believe I had said those things to Tripti. She didn't deserve it.
As I reached the living room, I saw my mother sitting on the couch, watching me with a concerned expression.
"Reyansh, beta, what's wrong?" she asked, noticing the look on my face.
I shook my head, not wanting to talk about it. "Nothing, Ma. I'm just tired."
My mother nodded, but I could tell she didn't believe me. She knew me too well.
I sat down next to her, trying to distract myself from the thoughts that were racing through my mind. But I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had hurt Tripti deeply, and that I needed to make it right.
As I sat there, I couldn't help but think about Tripti. She was beautiful, smart, and strong-willed. And I had just crushed her with my words.
I felt a pang of regret, and I knew I needed to apologize to her. But how could I? I had said some terrible things to her, and I didn't know if she would ever be able to forgive me.
I sighed, feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do. I knew I needed to make things right with Tripti, but I didn't know where to start.
But why I'm thinking this all?? I don't ever want to make things right! Hoping that now she will stop making efforts! I never wanted to marry!
I'm not someone who can love.
It's impossible!
