Episode 10

Reyansh took a deep breath and began to speak. "Her name is Naina," he said. "We met a few years ago, before I met you. We were together for a while, but it didn't work out. We had a messy breakup, and I've been feeling guilty about it ever since."

Tripti listened intently, her heart pounding in her chest. She had suspected that there was someone else in Reyansh's past, but she had never expected him to admit it so openly.

"Why do you still talk to her?" Tripti asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Reyansh sighed. "I know it's not right, but I feel like I owe her something. I feel like I hurt her, and I want to make it right."

Tripti felt a surge of anger at Reyansh's words. How could he still be feeling guilty about something that happened years ago? Didn't he realize that he was hurting her, that he was making her feel like she wasn't important to him?

But as she looked into his eyes, she saw something there that gave her pause. She saw a deep sadness, a deep regret. And she realized that Reyansh was telling the truth, that he did feel guilty about the way things ended between him and Naina.

"Reyansh," she said, her voice softening. "I want to understand. I want to know why you're still feeling guilty about something that happened years ago."

Reyansh looked at her, his eyes filled with a deep sadness. "Because I hurt her, Tripti," he said. "I hurt her badly, and I've been feeling guilty about it ever since."

Tripti felt a pang of sympathy for Reyansh. She could see the pain in his eyes, the regret. And she realized that he wasn't just feeling guilty about hurting Naina, he was feeling guilty about hurting her too.

"Reyansh," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want you to know that I forgive you. I forgive you for hurting me, for making me feel like I wasn't important to you."

Reyansh's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at her like he was seeing her for the first time. "Tripti," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I don't deserve your forgiveness. I don't deserve your love."

Tripti smiled, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. "You do deserve it, Reyansh," she said. "You deserve my love, my forgiveness. And I'm willing to give it to you, if you're willing to work on our marriage, to make it stronger."

Reyansh's face lit up with a smile, and he took a step closer to her. "I'm willing, Tripti," he said. "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make our marriage work."

As Reyansh spoke, Tripti saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. She saw a spark of determination, a willingness to work on their marriage and make it stronger.

"I'm willing too, Reyansh," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm willing to work on our marriage, to make it stronger. But we have to do it together. We have to communicate, to talk about our feelings and our needs."

Reyansh nodded, his eyes locked on hers. "I know," he said. "I know we have to communicate better. I'm willing to do that, Tripti. I'm willing to listen to you, to hear what you have to say."

Tripti smiled, feeling a sense of hope and renewal. "I'm willing to listen to you too, Reyansh," she said. "I'm willing to hear what you have to say, to understand your feelings and your needs."

As they stood there, looking into each other's eyes, Tripti felt a sense of connection, a sense of understanding. She knew that they still had a long way to go, that they still had to work on their communication and their trust. But she also knew that they were willing to do the work, to make their marriage stronger.

Reyansh took a step closer to her, his eyes locked on hers. "Tripti," he said, his voice low and husky. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you, for making you feel like you weren't important to me."

Tripti's heart skipped a beat as she looked into Reyansh's eyes. She saw the sincerity there, the regret. And she knew that he was telling the truth, that he was truly sorry for hurting her.

"It's okay, Reyansh," she said, her voice soft. "I forgive you. I forgive you for hurting me, for making me feel like I wasn't important to you."

Reyansh's face lit up with a smile, and he took another step closer to her. "Thank you, Tripti," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for giving me another chance."

As Reyansh spoke, Tripti felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that they still had a long way to go, that they still had to work on their marriage. But she also knew that they were willing to do the work, to make their marriage stronger.

And as Reyansh took her in his arms, holding her close, Tripti knew that she had made the right decision. She had forgiven him, and she had given him another chance. And she knew that their marriage would be stronger because of it.

As Reyansh held Tripti close, she felt a sense of comfort and security that she hadn't felt in a long time. She knew that they still had a lot of work to do to repair their marriage, but in that moment, she felt a sense of hope and renewal.

Reyansh's arms tightened around her, and he buried his face in her hair. "I'm so sorry, Tripti," he whispered. "I'm so sorry for hurting you. I promise to make it up to you, to be a better husband to you."

Tripti's heart swelled with emotion as she heard Reyansh's words. She knew that he was sincere, that he truly was sorry for hurting her.

As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Tripti felt a sense of peace and forgiveness wash over her. She knew that their marriage was far from perfect, but in that moment, she felt a sense of hope and renewal.

Just then, the doorbell rang, breaking the spell. Tripti and Reyansh pulled back from each other, looking at each other uncertainly.

"I'll get it," Reyansh said, smiling wryly. "It's probably just Ryan or Rachita."

Tripti nodded, watching as Reyansh walked out of the room. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm and peace wash over her.

As she waited for Reyansh to return, Tripti couldn't help but feel a sense of hope and renewal. She knew that their marriage was far from perfect, but in that moment, she felt a sense of peace and forgiveness.

Just then, Reyansh walked back into the room, a strange expression on his face. "Tripti, it's Naina," he said, his voice low and serious.

Tripti's heart sank as she heard the name. She knew that Naina was the woman from Reyansh's past, the woman who had been causing tension in their marriage.

"What does she want?" Tripti asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Reyansh hesitated, looking at her uncertainly. "She wants to talk to me," he said. "She says it's urgent."

Tripti felt a surge of anger and jealousy. Why was Naina still contacting Reyansh? Why was she still trying to insert herself into their marriage?

But as she looked at Reyansh, she saw the uncertainty and confusion in his eyes. She knew that he was torn, that he didn't know what to do.

"Reyansh," she said, her voice soft. "What do you want to do?"

Reyansh looked at her, his eyes searching. "I don't know," he said. "I don't know what to do."

Tripti took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm and peace wash over her. "Let's talk to her together," she said. "Let's hear what she has to say."

Reyansh nodded, looking at her with a sense of gratitude. "Thank you, Tripti," he said. "Thank you for being so understanding."

Tripti smiled, feeling a sense of hope and renewal. "We're in this together, Reyansh," she said. "We'll face whatever comes our way, together."

As they walked to the living room, Tripti could feel the tension building up inside her. She didn't know what to expect from Naina, but she was determined to stay calm and composed.

When they reached the living room, Naina was already seated on the couch, looking confident and self-assured. Tripti felt a surge of anger and jealousy, but she pushed it aside and took a seat next to Reyansh.

"Hello, Naina," Tripti said, her voice neutral. "What brings you here today?"

Naina smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "I just wanted to talk to Reyansh about something," she said. "Something important."

Reyansh leaned forward, his eyes locked on Naina's. "What is it, Naina?" he asked, his voice firm.

Naina hesitated, looking at Tripti before turning back to Reyansh. "I'm pregnant," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Tripti felt like she had been punched in the gut. Pregnant? How was that possible? Reyansh and Naina had broken up years ago, and Reyansh had told her that he had never been in touch with Naina again.

Reyansh's face went white, and he looked like he had been hit by a truck. "What?" he whispered. "How is that possible?"

Naina shrugged, looking at Tripti with a mixture of guilt and defiance. "I don't know," she said. "I just know that I'm pregnant, and I need your help, Reyansh."

Tripti felt a surge of anger and jealousy. How could Naina do this to them? How could she just show up out of the blue and drop a bombshell like this?

But as she looked at Reyansh, she saw the shock and confusion in his eyes. She knew that he was just as surprised and upset as she was.

"Reyansh," she said, her voice soft. "What do you want to do?"

Reyansh looked at her, his eyes searching. "I don't know," he said. "I need some time to think."

Naina nodded, looking at Tripti with a mixture of guilt and defiance. "I understand," she said. "I'll give you some time. But please, Reyansh, don't ignore me. I need your help."

As Naina stood up to leave, Tripti felt a sense of unease and uncertainty. What was going to happen next? How was Reyansh going to react to this news?

As the door closed behind Naina, Tripti turned to Reyansh, her eyes searching. "Reyansh," she said. "What are we going to do?"

Reyansh looked at her, his eyes filled with a mixture of shock, confusion, and uncertainty. "I don't know," he said. "I need some time to think."

Tripti nodded, feeling a sense of understanding and empathy. She knew that Reyansh was going through a tough time, and she was willing to support him through it.

But as she looked into his eyes, she couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them. Would they be able to overcome this challenge, or would it tear them apart?
