I'm sitting on a dining chair stuffing my mouth with strawberries dipped in chocolate syrup listening to Mom and Sonals ramble about their day. Laughing and smiling and not to forget gossiping. I feel like I'm the luckiest person to have such cool in-laws, but not that lucky in every way. Life is cruel, don't know when it plays the check mate and you are out of it. And so here I'm enjoying every moment I have left for me.

It's been two months since the incident. Rhea was so disheartened after hearing my decision of taking a risk to keep the baby and not to tell anyone. She was traumatised herself, but she didn't leave any chance to take better care of me from earlier. Rhea is now in her room with her online therapy session going on.
