These 2 days were the most romantic for Tulasi. They both made out throughout the day and night. Sugandha and Nalini tease her love bites whenever they get a chance.
Today is Indra's father's death anniversary. Everyone was busy making his favorite dishes under the command of Anuja.
Indra and Rudra were preparing everything. They both weren't interested, but… they wanted to respect their mother's wishes.
A few of Indra's close relatives were also present. They do not like both tulasi and sugandha for obvious reasons. They kept taunting them about pregnancy, caste, looks, and skin color.
Just then… Tulasi's parents were about to enter the house, but Indra stopped them at the front gate.
"This house doesn't need your bad presence. I'll appreciate it if you people just go back. Or else… you know how capable I am." Indra says, glaring at Shiva.
"P…please, let us meet our daughter, saheb." Madhuri says, while sobbing.
"You're the one who dragged us to the roads, right??" Shiva yelled.
Indra tilted his head and smirked. "I showed mercy by doing so. You should be glad that you're alive."
Shiva was about to start a physical fight, but his father stopped him.
"What are you doing!? He's Indra Deshpande. We can't afford to throw hands at him. Go and fall on his feet, right now!!" Anand tried to put some sense into his son's head.
"P…please forgive us. Let us see our daughter once…" Indra was about to kick them out, but he heard his name being called out.
My heart stopped beating when I heard Nalini. M..my tulasi fainted...?
I didn't waste any seconds; I ran inside, pushing everyone aside.
"Where's she!??" I yelled out.
"I…inside your bedroom." Sugandha muttered lowly.
I bolted into my room, and there she was…. On the bed, unconscious.
"What happened…. W..why did she faint all of a sudden??" I asked. I immediately knelt down infront of her unconscious state and caressed her face.
"We don't know, bhaiya. She went to the storage room, and then we heard her scream. When we made our way into the room, she was shaking and crying. I tried to hold her, but she pushed me back and tried to run out, but then… we watched her faint suddenly." Nalini spoke with extreme concern.
"Yes, bhaiya. Then I carried Tulasi Bhabhi inside your room and informed someone to escort the doctor here." Rudra said.
This only added fuel to my worries. What exactly happened that she behaved that way?
"What are you doing here!?? Y…you're the same person we saw that day." Shiva said, looking at Saraswati chachi.
I furrowed my brows. "Who allowed you people in!?? Get out! Now!" I was super pissed. I wanted to kill him at this point.
"L..listen to me, when Tulasi was in the hospital, she's the one who paid for the treatment. When we asked her what happened, she told us to never approach her again." Shiva spoke with fear.
What is happening?? I turned my head towards Saraswathi chachi. She was literally sweating. I walked towards her.
"What exactly happened that day? Huh!? I won't hesitate to kill you if you're the reason behind my wife's trauma." I said while gritting my teeth.
"N…no, it's not me. I...I don't know anything in detail. I.. I only saved her that day." Saraswathi chachi muttered in panic.
"Saved her….?" I asked.
"Y…yes, it was a rainy night. I was in the car, I was telling my driver to speed up. b...because I wanted to stop Sugandha's wedding with my son. B…but then… we hit someone on the road. When we got out, it was a man lying in his pool of blood. Then we heard someone's cries. I saw a girl crying while clutching her knees. I… It was tulasi." She said….
I couldn't believe my ears. I fell back in shock. My whole body was shivering with shock.
"I… I saved Tulasi that day, but I couldn't be able to save Sugandha's fate. A..and, I didn't want anyone to know about this because... I killed that man. I didn't want to go to jail or get beaten by my husband. He would've killed me as well." She continued to speak.
I was just looking down at the ground in utter shock. My body wasn't able to digest all this at once. I didn't know what to say.
I can't even kill that man because he's already dead. I wanted to know what exactly happened… Only Tulasi has the answers now. This time… she'll have to tell me the truth.

Everyone is bewildered by the truth that just unfolded infront of them. Indra was on the ground, looking down at the ground. He had no expression, and he wanted to speak to anyone.
The doctor walked in and started checking Tulasi. Everyone was worried about her condition.
After a while, the doctor looked at Indra. "Your wife has fainted due to the extreme shock, is what I can see… And there's another reason for it. She's in her early stages of pregnancy; her body is prone to everything. It's better if you keep her away from all the triggering stuff."
Everyone gasped, and Indra shot his head at the doctor. A lonely tear flowed down his cheek. He was experiencing a lot of emotions at once. He didn't know how to react…. But he knows one thing, that he must keep Tulasi safe and secure.
The doctor gave the medicines list to Rudra and walked out.
Indra stood up and stepped towards Tulasi's unconscious state. He sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand. He sobbed into her hand.
His family had never seen him cry… rudra escorted everyone out and closed the door behind him.
Indra slowly put his palm on Tulasi's stomach and gently caressed it. He was overwhelmed by happiness, sadness, and anger.
He gently laid his head on Tulasi's stomach. His tears were streaming down to her waist.
"P…Please wake up soon, Tulasi… i… i can't look at your state. Y…you're pregnant, Tulasi. We're going to become parents… Isn't that what you wished for every day…?" Indra muttered into her stomach.
Only the silence enveloped him. He had no one to console him, since no one ever witnessed a man crying. Indra was hating himself more. He hurt his woman again and again, who only endured sadness and torture throughout her life. He wanted to end anyone who was the reason behind her tears, even himself.
