When Life Crosses Boundaries: Married to My Sister's Husband
episode 2
Location: Malhotra Mansion – Wedding Day
Time: Evening, dim lights, no music... only silence.
Sunita Singh (fl mom)
Aarohi beta… we’re outside.
Ready when you are.
Aarohi (fl)
Ma, this doesn’t feel like a wedding.
I’m wearing Naina’s saree. Her bangles.
Even the baby’s crib still smells like her.
Rajendra Singh (fl dad)
Beta, today is not about happiness. It’s about responsibility.
That boy needs a family. A mother.
Aarohi (fl)
And what about a father who won’t look at me without hate?
What kind of family is that, Papa?
📩 New message – Arjun Malhotra
Rajendra Singh (fl dad)
Come down. Let’s get this over with.
Aarohi (fl)
Aarohi walked down the staircase slowly, every step a reminder of who she wasn’t.
Guests stared — not in celebration, but in confusion.
A sister. A widow. A broken woman.
What kind of bride was this?
Arjun (fl ex husband)
“You’re worthless, Aarohi.” Smack.
“No one will want you. Not even your own shadow.”
She stands next to Arjun at the mandap.
He doesn’t meet her eyes.
Not even when the priest says —
？？？
Pandit ji:
Tied the knot around her nick beta
Her hand trembles as she lifts it.
Arjun doesn’t move.
Her father gently takes her hand and places it on Arjun’s palm.
He doesn’t close his fingers around hers.
The fire crackled between them.
But there was no warmth.
Only cold stares, unspoken accusations.
And a lifetime being signed away in silence.
Sunita Singh (fl mom)
It’s done.
You're his wife now, beta.
Aarohi (fl)
No, Ma.
I’m not his wife.
I’m his burden.
In the car – just the two of them. Baby in the backseat, sleeping.
Aarohi (fl)
Thank you… for not walking away at the mandap.
Arjun(ml)
Don’t thank me.
I didn’t do it for you.
I did it for him.
My son. Her son.
Arjun(ml)
You don’t.
You think this is redemption for leaving your abusive husband?
Or for missing your sister’s last breath?
It’s not.
You’re just the least worst option. That’s all.
Aarohi (fl)
I’ve been the worst option before.
I survived that.
I’ll survive this too.
