House of cards

Traitor

At night, Shraddha was coloring with Aaransh.

"No, baby, it is time to sleep."
"Mumma "I want to sleep with you and dad."
"Okay, baby, sleep here."
"Hurray," he said before lying down on the bed.
Shraddha kept his color pencils and books in his bag. So far, Aaransh was sleeping peacefully, while Shraddha did her night routine and was waiting for husband. It was around 12 p.m. when she noticed her husband enter.
"You did not sleep," Rohit asked Shraddha.
"No, I was waiting for you; why are you coming late for the past few days?"
"Cut the crap, baby. I am not free like you; I have to work."
"Really, yes, you are correct; I just lie here and do nothing."
"We have servants for everything, what you do," he said while opening his shirt.
"So you want to start this topic?"
"Ok, I am sorry, leave this topic and come here," he said, bringing me closer to him.
"You have always hurt me with your words."
"I am sorry, baby," he said while pulling her into a kiss.
Her hands were against her bare chest.
Their sweet moment was interrupted by a small cry; it was their son.
Shraddha separated herself from his husband and went to Aaransh
"What happened, my baby?" she took him into her arms.
He cried and said, "I saw a ghost."
"Shh shh, there is no one," Shraddha said, soothing him.

He fell asleep again.
"Why does he always sleep here? I was in a very romantic mood, and you...
"Leave it".
"Your son is crying here, and how could you...?"
"I also love him and care for him, but I want some time with you as well, but you never care for me," he said, going to the bathroom.

The following morning

I dropped Aaransh off at school in the morning.
And went to the cafe to meet Avni. She wanted to say something to me.
I proceeded to meet her.
"Hello, Avni"
"Hello, Mrs. Mehra."
"Why did you want to meet me?"
"You know I am pregnant."
"Amazing, congratulations."
"Thank you, Mrs Mehraa," she emphasizes the words Mrs Mehra.
"Do you need any kind of help?"
"I want this baby's father to accept it."
"Who is this child's father?"
"Mr Rohit Mehra, my boss and your husband"
"Shut up, you are crossing the line."
"I am just telling you the truth, see."
Avni showed her their messages, voice recordings, and a pregnancy report. Shraddha's life had been shattered; she could not believe what was going on because her husband, her life partner, was cheating on her.
"How long has it been?"
"It is been about three years," she said with pride.

Shraddha returned home. She wanted to scream or cry, but she was not sure how.
Around 2 p.m., Rohit entered the room with Aaransh in his arms. Shraddha's in-laws were in their respective rooms.
Sharavani was attending her internship.

"Are you mad you did not pick him up or answer his teacher's call?"
Aaransh rushed to her mother.
"Baby, you go to your room, I will come in two minutes," she said to Aaransh, who obediently went to his room.
"You do not have the right to shout at me, Mr. Rohit Mehra."
"What did you just say"
"You do not have any guilt."
"Guilt for what?"
"I know everything about you and Avni.
"Oh, fuck," he thought to himself.
"What are you saying baby?" he asked
"Do not call me baby with the same words you use for her."
"That is not how it is."
"Shut up shut up you bastard a piece of dirty shit you are still arguing," I was saying when I felt a sting on my cheek. It was him.
He gave me another slap. I fell down on the bed.
By the time Aaransh was standing there, he had come running towards me.
"Momma, do not hit my mother"

"Did not your mother teach you how to talk to your husband, and you know why things happened between me and Avni was because you were never there for me; you were always busy with Aaransh, so what was I supposed to do?"

"Is this all your excuses?"

"What is going on here?" a voice came from Ravindra Mehra.
Everyone was there, and they knew everything.
Ravindra approached and slapped Rohit
"You disgusted me."
"But, Dad."
"Shut up!"
"Are you out of your mind? Your sister will marry her brother in a few months, and you are doing such things."

(Karan and Sharavani are engaged for better business relations.)

Sharavani took Shraddha and Aaransh to her room; the elders were taking Rohit's.

"Leave it now. It is not a big deal," Kiran said to Rajendra.
"Have you lost your mind?"
"He is a man, and it is normal to become bored with one girl."
"Are you even real?"
"You are claiming that you never had side chicks or one-night stands."
"No, I never did, and it is your misconceptions about me."
Rajendra departed for his room.
"Do not be worried, baby; she loves you and will forgive you." Kiran says to his son.

In Shavani's room.
Shraddha laid Aaransh, who was sleeping peacefully.
"Drink this, bhabhi (sister in law)," sharanvi said to her water.
But she did not take water, and instead hugged her and started crying.
"Bhai (brother) does not deserve your tears, bhabhi."
Sharanvi noticed a drop of blood on her lips and touched it.
"Hiss""Did he slap you, bhabhi."
Shraddha simply nodded.
"In front of my son, he saw everything, my little son," she said while crying.
"Bhabhi, call the police."
"No, I simply want a peaceful divorce; I cannot live with a traitor."

I have an exam tomorrow and am here writing a chapter, which is irresponsible of me 😅.

I know this chapter is a little dramatic, but soon our male lead will arrive, so please wait for him.

Could you guys recommend some good songs? I will write my favorite song lyric at the end of every update.

Also, please specify the length or
You prefer short chapters.
