Episode 11

As the days went by, Tripti and Reyansh's marriage was put to the test. Naina's revelation had thrown them into a tailspin, and they were struggling to come to terms with the news.

Reyansh was torn between his loyalty to Tripti and his sense of responsibility towards Naina and their unborn child. Tripti, on the other hand, was trying to navigate her feelings of jealousy and insecurity.

Despite their best efforts, the tension between them was palpable. They argued more frequently, and their conversations were strained.

One day, as they were sitting in the living room, Tripti turned to Reyansh and said, "I need to know what's going on. Are you going to be a part of this child's life?"

Reyansh hesitated, looking uncertain. "I don't know, Tripti. I need some time to think about it."

Tripti felt a surge of anger and frustration. "You need time to think about it?" she repeated. "What about me? What about our marriage?"

Reyansh sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Tripti, please understand. This is a complicated situation. I'm trying to do the right thing here."

Tripti shook her head, feeling tears prick at the corners of her eyes. "I don't know if I can do this, Reyansh," she said. "I don't know if I can be a part of this."

Reyansh's face fell, and he reached out to take her hand. "Tripti, please don't say that," he said. "I need you. I need your support and your understanding."

Tripti pulled her hand away, feeling a sense of sadness and loss. "I need some time to think, Reyansh," she said. "I need some space."

Reyansh nodded, looking defeated. "Okay, Tripti," he said. "I'll give you the space you need."

As Tripti walked away, Reyansh felt a sense of despair wash over him. He knew that he had hurt Tripti, and he didn't know how to make it right.

He sat there for a long time, feeling lost and alone. He knew that he had to make a decision, but he didn't know what the right choice was.

As the hours ticked by, Reyansh finally made up his mind. He knew what he had to do, and he was determined to do it.

He stood up, feeling a sense of resolve wash over him. He was going to make things right with Tripti, no matter what it took.

Reyansh took a deep breath and walked to the bedroom where Tripti was sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the wall. He sat down beside her and took her hand in his.

"Tripti, I'm sorry," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I'm sorry for hurting you, for not being honest with you from the start. I know I've made mistakes, but I want to make it right. I want to work on our marriage, to make it stronger."

Tripti looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. "I want that too, Reyansh," she said. "But I need to know that you're committed to our marriage, that you're not going to let Naina and her pregnancy come between us."

Reyansh nodded, his eyes locked on hers. "I am committed to our marriage, Tripti," he said. "I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Naina and her pregnancy may be a complication, but they're not going to come between us. I promise you that."

Tripti looked at him, searching for any sign of insincerity. But all she saw was love and commitment in his eyes.

"Okay, Reyansh," she said finally. "I believe you. Let's work on our marriage together."

Reyansh smiled, relief washing over him. He pulled Tripti into his arms and held her close.

"Thank you, Tripti," he whispered. "Thank you for giving me another chance."

As they hugged, Tripti felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that their marriage was far from perfect, but she also knew that they were willing to work on it together.

But just as they were starting to feel like they were on the same page, the doorbell rang.

Reyansh groaned, pulling back from Tripti. "Who could that be?" he muttered.

Tripti shrugged, getting up from the bed. "I'll go see," she said.

As she walked to the door, she felt a sense of trepidation. Who could be visiting them at this time?

She opened the door to find Naina standing on their porch, a smug look on her face.

"Hello, Tripti," Naina said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."

Tripti felt a surge of anger, but she kept her cool. "What do you want, Naina?" she asked, her voice firm.

Naina smiled, her eyes glinting with malice. "I just wanted to remind Reyansh of his responsibilities," she said. "He's going to be a father soon, after all."

Tripti felt a pang of jealousy, but she pushed it aside. She knew that Reyansh was committed to their marriage, and she wasn't going to let Naina come between them.

"I'll let Reyansh know," Tripti said, her voice cold. "But for now, I think it's time for you to leave."

Naina's smile faltered for a moment, but then she regained her composure. "Fine," she said. "I'll leave. But this isn't over, Tripti. Not by a long shot."
