My husband left me and married his best friend – but the day he became a father, I decided to send him a message that would break his heart…
When I met Arjun, it was like being featured in a romantic film. We were introduced to us by relatives at a small party in Jaipur. I didn’t believe in scheduled appointments, but this time… He was different. He was polite, funny, and had a look in his eyes that made me feel safe.
From that day on, we texted every day. I also took Ananya, who was my best friend and sister, to introduce Arjun several times. I thought my friend would bless her, but who would have thought…
After the
wedding, everything was going well. We used to go to work, make biryani together on weekends, have tea in the verandah. But then my mother-in-law started keeping an eye on me – I slept late, I wasn’t pregnant, I didn’t wash dishes the way she wanted to. Arjuna was silent, slowly taking his mother’s side.
Three years passed, the doctor from Delhi said our chances of conceiving are low, but not infertility. I was relieved, but my mother-in-law kept looking at me as if it was my own fault. And then… I started seeing Ananya more in the house.
I used to think of her as my best friend, but the way she smiled at Arjun, the way she used to make tea for my mother-in-law, the way the three of them used to talk to each other… My heart was hurt when I saw everything.
One evening when I left
, after a heated argument, Arjun asked me to pack my things in a cold voice. I didn’t cry. I just looked into his eyes and said:
– You’re going to regret it…
I left the house, with only a suitcase of clothes, three years of my youth and a friend I trusted the most.
New beginnings… And miraculously
, I came back to Udaipur, and opened a small shop selling handicrafts. There I met Raj – a civil engineer overseeing a project near the bazaar. He was humble and respectful, and he never mentioned the past.
After six months of dating, we got married. And then, what seemed impossible happened to me – I got pregnant. The doctor said that this is a rare case, but absolutely normal. I cried in the clinic, holding my stomach and whispering: “You are a gift from me. ”
One morning the message was
sent, I read the news online: “Arjun and Ananya have welcomed their first son. “In my heart… It was not jealousy, but a strange feeling: relieved, but also a desire to tell the truth.
I messaged:
– Congratulations on becoming a father! Will you invite me to your celebration for the rest of the month? Oh, I have news for you: I’m pregnant, too. If you don’t believe me, look at the pictures. It seems that the difficulties in conceiving are both sides, not just my fault… Or is it just your problem?
I knew this message would surprise him. But I’m not asking for revenge, but to make you understand – I’ve endured some pain, not because I’m “not good enough,” but because we were with the wrong person at the wrong time.
On the day of
your son’s entire month, Arjuna had sent an invitation. I didn’t come. I just messaged:
– May you be happy.
And that’s what I really wish for you. Because now, I too have my own happiness – with a man who knows how to hold my hand when I’m weak, and with a child I never thought I would ever be able to have in this life.
I don’t have any resentment in my heart anymore, just one lesson: In marriage, sometimes the problem is not who is right or wrong, but that you set your heart in the wrong place at the wrong time.
