Chapter 227 - I feel such a fool to think that people would accept me as I’m… (2/2)

Fortune made a sound, staying close to me.

I nodded. Sharing things with someone who would not judge me was always a good idea. ”I'll tell you.”

”Arjun said it was my fault. Eshan also feels the same. Both of them clearly expressed their views, and decided that I'm the wrong one.” I swallowed the lump in my throat, keeping the frame back in its place.

”This makes me feel sad. Why? Why are they blaming me?” Staring into my reflection in the mirror I tried finding where I went wrong.

The damn tears, what were they gushing out for? Angrily, I wiped them away.

”Eshan's mother started this. She threw me out of this house, locking me outside with those darn divorce papers. Today's drama had nothing to do with me, but I was insulted, humiliated, accused… What wrong did I do? I feel I should not have agreed for this marriage…” I bit my lips.

From a young age, I detested the idea of marriage. The failed marriage of my parents had left a bitter taste in my mouth. Watching my grandparent's blissful married life had somewhere lessened up that feeling, but it was still there.

Back then, if my mother had not eloped, things would be different now. In the same way, had I not married Eshan, things would have been different too.

”Nothing would have happened then. Eshan would be happy in his life. People around him would be happy in their lives. Every time, I'm the one because of whom he gets involved in unpleasant things. His friends do not like me,” I sobbed, recalling the time since I had married him.

”Woof… woof.”

Fortune jumped around barking and whining.

”Are you standing up for your owner? Arjun?” I took a step ahead. The damn tears obscured my vision.

”I now feel that he does not like me as well... His affection, his care… everything seemed to be because of Eshan. I think he wants the happiness of his friend, thus he took me as his sister. I feel such a fool to think that people would accept me as I'm…”

”I'm a fool right?”

I snickered bitterly, sobbing to myself.

Lost in the emotional turbulence, I failed to notice the big glass vase. My hand accidentally knocked it from the table.

Crash.

With a loud crash the vase fell on the floor before shattering into pieces. Broken pieces lying on the ground mocked me. My life had shattered into pieces too. My distorted reflection in some of the big pieces showed the reality of my present situation.

”INNAYA…”

”Hey, are you alright?”

Eshan and Arjun rushed in. I was just in time to turn around and look at the approaching figure of them. I raised my hand asking them to stop. ”Stay there. You'll get hurt.”

Eshan blanched at my distinct tone. I could not be blamed, my emotions directed my behavior. Eshan shook his head but stepped forward nonetheless. He made sure to avoid broken pieces of glass.

Within some moments he reached before me. He cupped my face, and rubbed my cheeks with the pad of his thumbs.

”Are you okay? He asked again.
