3 years.
For three years I've been married.
Three years ago today it was the best day of my life until one mistake ruined it all.
One year ago our happiness was blooming as we got to share it with the most precious person to us, our daughter, Dina. But one mistake ruined it all.
Wondering what mistake it was?
I wish I could say, but I don't even know myself.

"Arjun why can't you just tell me, please?" I begged him tears streaming down my face. He looked away at the sight.
"I can't deal with it anymore, why hurt me? Three years, three years today we've been together why cause me all this hurt, why lose your love for me when mine is still growing? Why?! Why do you hate me?!!" I shouted asking him as I kneeled in front of him
"ARGHH" shut up he shouted and kicked me to which I fell and banged my head on one of the posts of our bed.
"Ahh"
"You wanna know why? It's because of your sister!" He shouted
"What did my sister do?" I asked confused
"She's the reason my little sister, Anjali, is dead! And you knew but kept mum just because she's your little sister!" He said his news shocked me
"What are you talking about?" I asked confused why do I know nothing about this"Oh, I see your pretending not to know anything right? Well let me remind you you know how mine and your little sister were 'best friends' well turns out your little sister was jealous of mine, I don't see why not she was always better everyone liked her bett-" I had to cut him off.
"Stop. I respect you but please do not badmouth my sister!" I warned him getting up wincing with a slight pain in my stomach from the kick.
"Why not? After all your little sister is the one who killed mine." As soon as he said that everything froze, she's dead because of my sister? I thought it was bullies that caused it? No my sister couldn't of done this Radika is not like this!"Radika is not like that she wouldn't do that!" I shouted back
"Really then why did she confess?" He said throwing his anger back at me
"What?" I said quietly
"Yh, and you knew, my wife knew, she knew the killer of my little sister and protected her!" He said angrily with a hint of sadness."No I didn't what makes you say that, I didn't!" I said crying.
"Then why did Radika tell me you did!" He shouted. Radika, what, why, I didn't I swear.
"Arjun, I didn't I swear, I swear-" I looked around and saw a picture of Dina. "I swear on Dinas' li-" I stopped when I felt a slap across my cheek.
"Don't you dare bring my daughter into this!" He shouted.
I was in shock and my hand touched my cheek he was so normal about it a few years ago he would of been so regretful of doing it ,no he wouldn't of even done it. But today. He had slapped his wife."Your daughter? She's my daughter too, our daughter." I said as my tears started to well up again.
"She's my daughter she doesn't deserve a mother like you and I don't deserve a wife like you! Do yourself a favour and leave everyone's lives not even your sister deserves a sister like you your probably the one who taught her all this! It's good your parents aren't here to see what you've become, I'm sure they'd be ashamed!" He exclaimed
I just stood there looking at him shocked, he really wanted me gone. He was right, I don't deserve anyone, my parents would be ashamed I couldn't even hold my family together.
Maybe I should give up. But before that I have a few things to do...
