(CHAPTER 4 CONTD)
Soon , a few days later , there was a gathering of friends at a private section of a nearby restaurant. The women came there along with their loved ones , Sonarika however couldn't get Hemant to come and she partially agreed because she knew Meghna will pass some other rude comments about him here. Ragini was here with her date of the night , and she seemed to be invested in spending more time with him. Mouni was here with Sagar as her date. And her usual antics were present as always, getting really cosy with him. When both the ladies were isolated for some time in that gathering. Mouni started a conversation with Sonarika.
"Hey , heard that you are pretty upset with Vikram lately"
"He stepped out of his line which is why I had to"
"Believe it or not, I would've done the same thing."
"You would?"
"Look that might sound hypocritical from my side , but yes , you held your ground , and that is commendable. Though on a serious note, I definitely believe Vikram didn't have any ill intent because I know him as a person."
"You do?"
"Yeah , Sagar and I began roughly around the same time Vikram lost Sarika. We tried our best to cheer him up. But back then he was a total mess , its like he wanted to blame someone but could not find anyone to be held responsible. He kind of became a 'Lady Killer' in those early days , like going crazy. But eventually died own claiming that was not what Sarika wanted for him. By heart he is a wonderful man"
"I don't think I will call him wonderful considering he tried to seduce a married woman"
Sonarika's retort made Mouni contemplate her next words. Mouni smiled in response after which she continued.
"Oh yes , marriage. The most wonderful prison in the world. Such a wonderful experience isn't it? Live your life according to other's expectations believing your own time will come but it never does. First they say to listen to your husband , then say to teach the kids. Not once does anyone ask whether you are alright or not , or do you need something for yourself. Just one duty after another"
"Sounds like a very shallow understanding of marriage"
Mouni smiled again hearing Sonarika's remark.
"Its easy to mock isn't it. But tell me honestly Sonarika , all these months , when Vikram talked to you , said all those things. Didn't you feel something? The need to be free , to be pampered , to hear the right words , to create moments in between insanity , but most of all to finally be seen as who you are. Not the role you are mean't to play."
Sonarika looked like she was caught between the headlights. She struggled for a response and eventually gave a feeble response.
"I am not gonna answer that"
"Why? Because you don't wanna admit that you feel those things?"
Sonarika was struggling to respond now as Mouni generated a grin to her face now.
"See? Its not easy Sonarika. Even now your silence, its speaks a lot right now. Only difference is in my life my husband was part of my decisions while yours don't have to"
"What do you mean?"
Mouni took some seconds and then responded to Sonarika's question.
"Look , Meghna have told me about Hemant. And recently Kunal has been spending a lot of time with him"
"What?"
"I thought you knew , matter of fact even this evening , Kunal is with your husband"
Sonarika was a bit surprised. She knew Hemant would spend time with Kunal , but she didn't knew that had grown to this level of friendship. Hemant has said he was going someplace for some 'roadshow' and won't be late. But she didn't knew he was going with Kunal.
"Coming to the point , I have no issues with Hemant. Matter of fact , even Kunal speaks very highly of him , considering him a good friend. But I cannot help but see that he doesn't seem to take care of you"
Sonarika was silent for a while still thinking about the reality about the close friendship between Kunal and Hemant. And whether Kunal's nature is going to affect Hemant like a disease.
"Anyways , I do wanna thank you for your husband's frienship with Kunal. Not gonna lie , after a long time I saw Kunal smile genuinly at home. He speaks very highly of him. And to be honest , after hearing his words , I can understand your turmoil"
Sonarika stayed silent for a while, a barrage of thoughts going on. But after about half minutes of silent gasps and deep breaths Sonarika let her guard down.
"Vicky.....he is everything I once desired Mouni....my ideal prince charming. The man who would swept me off my feet and make all the worries in the world vanish. Who could make me fly with no worry or obligations. One who could match with my enthusiasm , enjoy with my preferences and more over see me as a person. Hemant definitely does the same for me , atleast until some point. But the truth is I learned to love him , I created those feelings as an obligation towards him for fixing me. But with Vicky around , I feel like I am always pulsing , there is a lot of excitement and thrill. He is in my dreams , dominating my thoughts , and now injecting into my feelings. When I see Vicky , I feel he is the one. The man that was meant for me , unlike Hemant who I learned to make him my life. This is my turmoil Mouni , there is a part of me that craves Vikram. But there is also the moral part that wants to stay with my family. I am becoming selfish , I am becoming something else now."
Mouni silently listened as if her open talk gave her a sense of deja vu. Sonarika soon looked at Mouni.
"What should I do Mouni? How do I find my peace in this?"
Mouni thought for a few seconds and then answered.
"This is the path that you will have to walk alone Sonarika , after all it is your decision. All I can say in my life , Sagar was one of the best decisions I made and I feel more complete than I ever was. You have to make that decision too , and I know deep down you have the strength and will to make the right decision. Choose your happiness Sonarika and don't look back , only good things will await you in the future with the right choice"
Saying that Mouni left leaving Sonarika in her thoughts. Those words were like some balm to her psyche. It gave her some clearness in her mind about Vikram.
But as she was on her drive back to her place , her mind was completely on Hemant and his growing friendship with Kunal. This was something she could not accept anymore , Kunal and Mouni's marriage makes her very uneasy. The way Mouni talked and looked , it had this sinister scenario that she was seeing her future in them. She remember the words Meghna said once during their talks.
"And I believe you must get use to that lifestyle because that could be your future"
"My future?"
"Yes , you know , you could be Mouni , Hemant could be your Kunal , and Sagar will be Vikr--"
Even while reminiscing that talk she stopped thinking the moment she stopped Meghna from completing her sentence. She doesn't desire it one bit , Hemant is in every way a man any woman would want , of course Sonarika feels conflicted but she would never want a future like that. She didn't want Hemant to be her Kunal , that is not what she desires in him. She made a decision that she will talk him into not bonding with Kunal anymore.
Hemant arrived home roughly half hour after Sonarika came. Sonarika noticed that Hemant looked really cheerful with his face , as if he was having a good time. After he took a quick bath , he came on the living room and played with Karan joyfully. Even during dinner , Hemant was talkative and was talking to Anjali about her studies and other things while Karan would talk about the things from his insititute. After a wonderful dinner , everyone was onto their bed time. After sending Karan to bed and comforting him as he went to sleep , Sonarika wished good night to Anjali as she arrived on their bedroom where Hemant joyfully is lying on the bed.
"Where did you go today Hemant?"
"Oh I went to this dirt rally races being held outside the city. It was near Kalyan. It was pretty crowded , but the races were pretty cool"
"You could've taken us?"
"I don't think any of you would like it. Plus the race was being done in dry sand with lots of dust which I knew won't be suitable for Karan. Which is why I had to go alone"
"But you weren't alone weren't you? You had Kunal with him"
"Yeah , he loved these things. We have similar taste in c--"
"ENOUGH! I don't want you to meet him anymore"
Hemant was stunned by Sonarika sudden change of tone and her serious expression. The joy Hemant had in his face faded slowly and that made Sonarika upset too , she always liked that smile on him.
"But why Sona , he is not that bad of a person"
"I consider him a bad influence to you. So I don't want him around you anymore"
"Sona please understand , I am not seeking him , he likes my company and I have clearly made it clear to him that his personal life won't be part of our friendship"
"I don't want to hear it Hemant , I don't like him around you. Men like him are terrible sickness , they will inject their weird thoughts on you and you won't know it"
"He is not that kind of man Sona understand this"
"Are you seriously going to choose his friendship over me"
"Come on Sona , its not like we are talking often nowadays"
Hemant regretted the moment he said those words. Sonarika was upset with how he was defending his stance but that last sentence triggered something in her. Her anger gets out.
"And its MY FAULT that we don't? Remember what you said? That everything will be sorted out in few months , well good enough time has passed , where is that breakthrough for you huh? and I cannot help but realize that you don't have time for me because you have a new friend"
"Sona please I am sorry. I didn't mean that , but Kunal is-"
"I don't want to hear his name anymore"
"Please your anger is misjudged on him"
"He is a man who jerks off sitting in the corner of a room while another man fucks his wife. No I have not misjudged him , he is nothing more than a MISERABLE PRICK!"
"Sona please"
"This conversation is over Hemant. You can talk to me ONLY after ending all of your ties with him"
"You know I can't do that Sona , I have business obligations with him"
"Then I prefer we don't talk until your business obligation with him are done"
Sonarika slept on the bed saying that turning off the lamp on her section. Hemant in an instant went from in a joyful mood to complete sadness. He knew Sonarika is clearly misunderstood regarding Kunal but he could not explain it to her anymore considering her anger right now. He knew his wife well , when she is angry she won't listen to reasoning one bit , she becomes reckless and hot headed. Hemant still tried to calm her.
"Sona..."
Sonarika flared up as she said in a harsh tone.
"Go to sleep Hemant or else you are sleeping in the couch tonight!"
Hemant accepted defeat and he went to sleep turning off the lamp on his side sending the bedroom into darkness. When Sonarika woke up as usual , she was surprised to see that Hemant was no longer in the bed. She noticed a note in the headboard as she read it.
I HAVE SOME EARLY ASSIGNMENTS , SORRY FOR LAST NIGHT , LOTS OF LOVE.
HEMANT.
Unfortunately due to his switch from his usual gym on his office to the WFLF , he will now have to go early for his work. Hemant thought about revealing his workout plan but he knew Sonarika is pretty upset and she won't bother what magic he does unless he stops anymore bonding with Kunal. But Hemant had no plans to , he knew deep down that Kunal was struggling in his life , and he needed help so Hemant was adamant that he will eventually save him. Abandoning him is basically sending him to his death or something worse. That weekend when Hemant was working on moulding the gun parts in his tank top and pants while Kunal was present helping in some of it wearing casual clothes , they first talked about their works but eventually it led to something interesting.
"My wife says I look more happy now , and I have to say the full credit has to be given to you"
Kunal said genuinly.
"Me?"
"Yeah , I mean before I met you Hemant , my life was a barrage of embarassments and shame ever since my personal life became a public discussion , everywhere I went I would see men look at me with pity eyes and women who would pass funny comments about me , blaming my fragility. But being with you , without being judged and to actually share some things I like in my life , to actually enjoy some activities and hobbies in life. These few months showed me life is worth living after all and that was shown to me by you Hemant"
"I did the bare minimum Kunal , matter of fact this is something Mouni should've done a long time ago than me. I am just confused on why she didn't"
Kunal looked sad hearing that and then responded.
"Mouni has another man to take care of her , and I believe she likes being with him more than being with me"
"And you are okay with that"
"Of course , after all , I am a cuckold" Kunal said with a shivering voice that was very low in tone. He crouched to the metal table nearby as Hemant noticed his struggle. Hemant decided to find out what went wrong with him.
"Kunal do you mind if I ask a personal question?"
"Some time ago I would've been uncomfortable , but you have made me relieve off some of my shame. You can ask anything Hemant"
Hemant took a deep breath and asked.
"When did this change in you happen? When did you start to have this kink?"
Kunal looked like he anticipated that question. But this time he didn't feel shame because he felt Hemant was going to give him some relief from all his reckless decisions. Kunal started.
"Our marriage was the best ever , we both loved a simple and calm life. Mouni was into reading back then , she still is now but not often. Back in the day we would silently acknowledge our love to each other. We had a lovely family , she gave birth to my kids and we raised them. Their existence was the drive for me to reach where I am today. But this elite life , it also made exposed to some astonishing lifestyles people practice. And before I knew it , I fell into this world of sexual erotica and roleplays. I met people who would practice stuffs like wife swapping and open relationships and then I would see men who are physically and facially more superior than me do married womens in front of me. This gave me a strange sexual thrill. In those days I would eventually notice that our sex life has become stale. Mouni had her own frustrations with our married life with responsibilities and such and I wanted to see her happy again. But the thought of Mouni with a more enduring man started to dominate my mind."
Hemant sat there silently listening to Kunal's confession as he continued.
"And then came Sagar who seemed to be infactuated by Mouni's appearance and personality. He eventually found out my kinks and he expressed his wish to fullfill my kink by being Mouni's lover. I said to him I will only agree as long as Mouni will , and it barely took a few months as Mouni was attracted to him thanks to his own charms. And then it eventually culminated one night when they had their 'first night' and I was given a VIP seat to see the action. Mouni was dressed as a bride that night and he took her to pleasures she never experienced with me. I never came so hard in my life during that night. The sight was....magical"
Hemant felt a bit unease to see Kunal so happily describe another man fucking his wife. Kunal continued.
"That was the beginning of their bond. And that bond eventually grew , they seemed to like their relation with each other so much that it evolved to not care about anything else in the world. And that definitely ruined my reputation among the friend circle. But as time went by his bond became stronger , he would spend a good chunk of every year in my house in our bedroom while I was moved to the guest bedroom which has become my personal space now. But now"
Kunal started to get teary eyed now , Hemant stood there witnessing the weakness of his friend.
"For the last two years , Mouni never asked or enquired about my well being. Even the room I sleep in , she never came to check up on me these years. To be honest I don't think she will even care if I die any moment , in restrospect it will be a relief for her. There were times in my life where I had considered suicide Hemant , but I couldn't because I loved my kids and I didn't wanna loose them. And now even their lives are intertwined in our mess now. Back in the day it was easy because they were too innocent and young and they were in boarding living with us on vacations but now that their academics are almost done , they are part of our new life and they can deduce that something is wrong in this family."
Kunal was shaking as his emotions were slowly coming out as he continued.
"My older son , he is past 15 now. Since last year he has been visiting and interacting more with Sagar than with me Hemant. I tried to find out and I learned he has been aware of his parent's secret life. My own son sees me as an embarassment and prefers Sagar as his father!"
Saying that Kunal started crying , he slouched down but Hemant quickly came close to him and embraced him. Kunal let all of his frustrations out in his cry , no holding back. Hemant was first willing to help him but now he was determined to save Kunal from his own pit because in his eyes a man like him who built his legacy on his own does not deserve a life like this after the sacrifices and hardwork he endured. Hemant had an idea what he is going through and how to make his life better. After Kunal calmed down in few minuted Hemant moved away as Kunal sat on that table. Hemant soon started to talk.
"Kunal , I can now see why you are always struggling. You are struggling with your own identity. Shall I ask you a simple question. Who do you think is responsible for all of this?"
Kunal did some heavy sobs , something unusual coming from a man who is emotional. Hemant has always believed the notion that when a men cries he cries when it hurts the most. And Kunal was deeply hurt with his life. After gaining some composure Kunal answered.
"I know Hemant , its me. I am the one responsible for all of this. I should've put a stop to her affair a long time ago , but now the damage is already done"
Hemant understood that Kunal was seeing this the wrong way. He soon responded.
"No Kunal , the problem is you definitely. But its not because you didn't stop it , its because you let yourself down"
Kunal was confused as he looked at Hemant. He continued.
"Mouni didn't move away from you because she no longer loved you. She moved away because she couldn't see her Kunal anymore"
Kunal listened to Hemant's words carefully.
"Your son didn't acknowledge you because he couldn't see or recognize his father anymore. You've changed so much in their eyes Kunal that they have failed to see you. You let your kinks take control of your life. That is where everything went wrong"
Kunal looked at him with defeat and realization in his eyes. He felt like he wanted to cry some more. But Hemant comforted him , he patted on his shoulder and said.
"Don't worry , I am with you. I will help you get over this. I cannot promise that you will get your family back , but I assure you that you will not loose yourself. These will be babysteps but it will help you find your true self and overcome. But for that to happen I want a promise from you"
"Whatever it is , I promise Hemant"
"Listen first. From now on , right from this moment , you will stop fantasizing about your wife and her lover. I get that a sexual inuendo is hard to control in a man but if you really wanna be yourself and regain your identity , you need to make some bold steps. Promise me that you will stop getting involved with your wife and her....boyfriend for your kinks"
Kunal eventually gained composure from his crying as he rubbed his tears off. Kunal pushes a smile on his face as he shakes Hemant's hands.
"I promise Hemant. I won't be involved in their moments anymore. I will focus on my redemption now"
"Good , we will find other activities to make you actually enjoy life and connect more with yourself"
And since that day , Kunal and Hemant's bond of friendship only grew. That evening , again Sonarika gave Hemant the cold shoulders , she was adamant she won't talk to him unless the Kunal situation is done for. But Hemant wasn't willing to leave Kunal , he figured he will eventually explain it to Sonarika once all this overburden of work and his other commitments are done for.
But things only went worse when one day Sonarika was with Meghna doing some shopping in the city when she saw Hemant and Kunal walking into the Irish Bar together. That night they had a nasty fight again , and this time again Sonarika wasn't ready to hear any more excuses from Hemant. And this time she punished him for his deed and send him to sleep on the couch for the night. Hemant was reluctant but he didn't want to fight it out with Sonarika. Eventually he agreed and then slept on the couch for the night. Hemant eventually rescheduled his WFLF workout routine which made him avoid going early hoping to spend more time with his family. But Sonarika was still upset and didn't bother with Hemant's apologies anymore. Hemant was slightly more relieved that he get to spend more time with Karan and Anjali for the time being.
A few days later , Tamanna invited Hemant to attend Sanjana's kid's birthday. But Hemant politely declined , he explained it to Tamanna that his breakup with Sanjana wasn't exactly a happy one and she is never going to forgive him no matter how much they have moved on. Tamanna understood his reasoning and thus went to the party alone.
Sonarika was enraged with Hemant more now , and talking her frutrations out with Meghna didn't help her either because she would indirectly insinuate that she has a better option right in front of her in Vikram. Sonarika had completely stopped talking to him , Vikram was completely blacked out from her life. She had no idea where he was or what he was doing. But this started to negatively affect her. At times she thought she might have overstepped it and Vikram might be quiet upset with her. And her feelings were on overdrive now , thinking that she did something wrong with him. Sonarika hated herself at first , but then this argument with Hemant and his involvement with Kunal really angered her making her think of Vikram even more. Out of desperation she went to the apartment that Vikram used to live in the city. But the place was locked and the security guard said he isn't here for the last few months. This convinced Sonarika that Vikram was upset with her words and he is now avoiding her. And this made her mind desperate , add that to her current fight with Hemant and Sonarika was loosing her sanity in finding ground in her brain. Every single day she would remember the words Mouni said that night.
"Sagar was one of the best decisions I made and I feel more complete than I ever was. You have to make that decision too , and I know deep down you have the strength and will to make the right decision."
And then words of Meghna way before that.
"Vikram fits the description of your prince charming. He is basically everything that you once craved. In a way , I kinda wished you never met Hemant so that I could bring you and Vikram together and make a wonderful power couple."
Their shared kiss on that rainy evening beneath a tree. The unforgettable sight of Vikram jerking his cock in the bathroom shooting his cum. Sonarika didn't exactly have much experience in types of cocks , but that sight was something else. She started to believe Meghna's gossips about how Vikram during his womanizing days was a legend and most women he slept with during his 'emo' phase under Sagar's direction have all been pretty satisfied with him with one of the women even proposed a marriage to him.
She was falling for him and she was loosing her grip on her reality.
"Hey , heard that you are pretty upset with Vikram lately"
"He stepped out of his line which is why I had to"
"Believe it or not, I would've done the same thing."
"You would?"
"Look that might sound hypocritical from my side , but yes , you held your ground , and that is commendable. Though on a serious note, I definitely believe Vikram didn't have any ill intent because I know him as a person."
"You do?"
"Yeah , Sagar and I began roughly around the same time Vikram lost Sarika. We tried our best to cheer him up. But back then he was a total mess , its like he wanted to blame someone but could not find anyone to be held responsible. He kind of became a 'Lady Killer' in those early days , like going crazy. But eventually died own claiming that was not what Sarika wanted for him. By heart he is a wonderful man"
"I don't think I will call him wonderful considering he tried to seduce a married woman"
Sonarika's retort made Mouni contemplate her next words. Mouni smiled in response after which she continued.
"Oh yes , marriage. The most wonderful prison in the world. Such a wonderful experience isn't it? Live your life according to other's expectations believing your own time will come but it never does. First they say to listen to your husband , then say to teach the kids. Not once does anyone ask whether you are alright or not , or do you need something for yourself. Just one duty after another"
"Sounds like a very shallow understanding of marriage"
Mouni smiled again hearing Sonarika's remark.
"Its easy to mock isn't it. But tell me honestly Sonarika , all these months , when Vikram talked to you , said all those things. Didn't you feel something? The need to be free , to be pampered , to hear the right words , to create moments in between insanity , but most of all to finally be seen as who you are. Not the role you are mean't to play."
Sonarika looked like she was caught between the headlights. She struggled for a response and eventually gave a feeble response.
"I am not gonna answer that"
"Why? Because you don't wanna admit that you feel those things?"
Sonarika was struggling to respond now as Mouni generated a grin to her face now.
"See? Its not easy Sonarika. Even now your silence, its speaks a lot right now. Only difference is in my life my husband was part of my decisions while yours don't have to"
"What do you mean?"
Mouni took some seconds and then responded to Sonarika's question.
"Look , Meghna have told me about Hemant. And recently Kunal has been spending a lot of time with him"
"What?"
"I thought you knew , matter of fact even this evening , Kunal is with your husband"
Sonarika was a bit surprised. She knew Hemant would spend time with Kunal , but she didn't knew that had grown to this level of friendship. Hemant has said he was going someplace for some 'roadshow' and won't be late. But she didn't knew he was going with Kunal.
"Coming to the point , I have no issues with Hemant. Matter of fact , even Kunal speaks very highly of him , considering him a good friend. But I cannot help but see that he doesn't seem to take care of you"
Sonarika was silent for a while still thinking about the reality about the close friendship between Kunal and Hemant. And whether Kunal's nature is going to affect Hemant like a disease.
"Anyways , I do wanna thank you for your husband's frienship with Kunal. Not gonna lie , after a long time I saw Kunal smile genuinly at home. He speaks very highly of him. And to be honest , after hearing his words , I can understand your turmoil"
Sonarika stayed silent for a while, a barrage of thoughts going on. But after about half minutes of silent gasps and deep breaths Sonarika let her guard down.
"Vicky.....he is everything I once desired Mouni....my ideal prince charming. The man who would swept me off my feet and make all the worries in the world vanish. Who could make me fly with no worry or obligations. One who could match with my enthusiasm , enjoy with my preferences and more over see me as a person. Hemant definitely does the same for me , atleast until some point. But the truth is I learned to love him , I created those feelings as an obligation towards him for fixing me. But with Vicky around , I feel like I am always pulsing , there is a lot of excitement and thrill. He is in my dreams , dominating my thoughts , and now injecting into my feelings.

But there is also the moral part that wants to stay with my family. I am becoming selfish , I am becoming something else now."
Mouni silently listened as if her open talk gave her a sense of deja vu. Sonarika soon looked at Mouni.
"What should I do Mouni? How do I find my peace in this?"
Mouni thought for a few seconds and then answered.
"This is the path that you will have to walk alone Sonarika , after all it is your decision. All I can say in my life , Sagar was one of the best decisions I made and I feel more complete than I ever was. You have to make that decision too , and I know deep down you have the strength and will to make the right decision. Choose your happiness Sonarika and don't look back , only good things will await you in the future with the right choice"

"My future?"
"Yes , you know , you could be Mouni , Hemant could be your Kunal , and Sagar will be Vikr--"
Even while reminiscing that talk she stopped thinking the moment she stopped Meghna from completing her sentence. She doesn't desire it one bit , Hemant is in every way a man any woman would want , of course Sonarika feels conflicted but she would never want a future like that. She didn't want Hemant to be her Kunal , that is not what she desires in him. She made a decision that she will talk him into not bonding with Kunal anymore.
Hemant arrived home roughly half hour after Sonarika came. Sonarika noticed that Hemant looked really cheerful with his face , as if he was having a good time. After he took a quick bath , he came on the living room and played with Karan joyfully.

"He is not that kind of man Sona understand this"
"Are you seriously going to choose his friendship over me"
"Come on Sona , its not like we are talking often nowadays"
Hemant regretted the moment he said those words. Sonarika was upset with how he was defending his stance but that last sentence triggered something in her. Her anger gets out.
"And its MY FAULT that we don't? Remember what you said? That everything will be sorted out in few months , well good enough time has passed , where is that breakthrough for you huh? and I cannot help but realize that you don't have time for me because you have a new friend"
"Sona please I am sorry. I didn't mean that , but Kunal is-"
"I don't want to hear his name anymore"
"Please your anger is misjudged on him"
"He is a man who jerks off sitting in the corner of a room while another man fucks his wife. No I have not misjudged him , he is nothing more than a MISERABLE PRICK!"
"Sona please"
"This conversation is over Hemant. You can talk to me ONLY after ending all of your ties with him"
"You know I can't do that Sona , I have business obligations with him"
"Then I prefer we don't talk until your business obligation with him are done"
Sonarika slept on the bed saying that turning off the lamp on her section. Hemant in an instant went from in a joyful mood to complete sadness. He knew Sonarika is clearly misunderstood regarding Kunal but he could not explain it to her anymore considering her anger right now. He knew his wife well , when she is angry she won't listen to reasoning one bit , she becomes reckless and hot headed. Hemant still tried to calm her.
"Sona..."
Sonarika flared up as she said in a harsh tone.
"Go to sleep Hemant or else you are sleeping in the couch tonight!"
Hemant accepted defeat and he went to sleep turning off the lamp on his side sending the bedroom into darkness. When Sonarika woke up as usual , she was surprised to see that Hemant was no longer in the bed. She noticed a note in the headboard as she read it.
I HAVE SOME EARLY ASSIGNMENTS , SORRY FOR LAST NIGHT , LOTS OF LOVE.
HEMANT.
Unfortunately due to his switch from his usual gym on his office to the WFLF , he will now have to go early for his work. Hemant thought about revealing his workout plan but he knew Sonarika is pretty upset and she won't bother what magic he does unless he stops anymore bonding with Kunal. But Hemant had no plans to , he knew deep down that Kunal was struggling in his life , and he needed help so Hemant was adamant that he will eventually save him. Abandoning him is basically sending him to his death or something worse. That weekend when Hemant was working on moulding the gun parts in his tank top and pants while Kunal was present helping in some of it wearing casual clothes , they first talked about their works but eventually it led to something interesting.
"My wife says I look more happy now , and I have to say the full credit has to be given to you"
Kunal said genuinly.
"Me?"
"Yeah , I mean before I met you Hemant , my life was a barrage of embarassments and shame ever since my personal life became a public discussion , everywhere I went I would see men look at me with pity eyes and women who would pass funny comments about me , blaming my fragility. But being with you , without being judged and to actually share some things I like in my life , to actually enjoy some activities and hobbies in life. These few months showed me life is worth living after all and that was shown to me by you Hemant"
"I did the bare minimum Kunal , matter of fact this is something Mouni should've done a long time ago than me. I am just confused on why she didn't"
Kunal looked sad hearing that and then responded.
"Mouni has another man to take care of her , and I believe she likes being with him more than being with me"
"And you are okay with that"
"Of course , after all , I am a cuckold" Kunal said with a shivering voice that was very low in tone. He crouched to the metal table nearby as Hemant noticed his struggle. Hemant decided to find out what went wrong with him.
"Kunal do you mind if I ask a personal question?"
"Some time ago I would've been uncomfortable , but you have made me relieve off some of my shame. You can ask anything Hemant"
Hemant took a deep breath and asked.
"When did this change in you happen? When did you start to have this kink?"
Kunal looked like he anticipated that question. But this time he didn't feel shame because he felt Hemant was going to give him some relief from all his reckless decisions. Kunal started.
"Our marriage was the best ever , we both loved a simple and calm life. Mouni was into reading back then , she still is now but not often. Back in the day we would silently acknowledge our love to each other. We had a lovely family , she gave birth to my kids and we raised them. Their existence was the drive for me to reach where I am today. But this elite life , it also made exposed to some astonishing lifestyles people practice. And before I knew it , I fell into this world of sexual erotica and roleplays. I met people who would practice stuffs like wife swapping and open relationships and then I would see men who are physically and facially more superior than me do married womens in front of me. This gave me a strange sexual thrill. In those days I would eventually notice that our sex life has become stale. Mouni had her own frustrations with our married life with responsibilities and such and I wanted to see her happy again. But the thought of Mouni with a more enduring man started to dominate my mind."
Hemant sat there silently listening to Kunal's confession as he continued.
"And then came Sagar who seemed to be infactuated by Mouni's appearance and personality. He eventually found out my kinks and he expressed his wish to fullfill my kink by being Mouni's lover. I said to him I will only agree as long as Mouni will , and it barely took a few months as Mouni was attracted to him thanks to his own charms. And then it eventually culminated one night when they had their 'first night' and I was given a VIP seat to see the action. Mouni was dressed as a bride that night and he took her to pleasures she never experienced with me. I never came so hard in my life during that night. The sight was....magical"
Hemant felt a bit unease to see Kunal so happily describe another man fucking his wife. Kunal continued.
"That was the beginning of their bond. And that bond eventually grew , they seemed to like their relation with each other so much that it evolved to not care about anything else in the world. And that definitely ruined my reputation among the friend circle. But as time went by his bond became stronger , he would spend a good chunk of every year in my house in our bedroom while I was moved to the guest bedroom which has become my personal space now. But now"
Kunal started to get teary eyed now , Hemant stood there witnessing the weakness of his friend.
"For the last two years , Mouni never asked or enquired about my well being. Even the room I sleep in , she never came to check up on me these years. To be honest I don't think she will even care if I die any moment , in restrospect it will be a relief for her. There were times in my life where I had considered suicide Hemant , but I couldn't because I loved my kids and I didn't wanna loose them. And now even their lives are intertwined in our mess now. Back in the day it was easy because they were too innocent and young and they were in boarding living with us on vacations but now that their academics are almost done , they are part of our new life and they can deduce that something is wrong in this family."
Kunal was shaking as his emotions were slowly coming out as he continued.
"My older son , he is past 15 now. Since last year he has been visiting and interacting more with Sagar than with me Hemant. I tried to find out and I learned he has been aware of his parent's secret life. My own son sees me as an embarassment and prefers Sagar as his father!"
Saying that Kunal started crying , he slouched down but Hemant quickly came close to him and embraced him. Kunal let all of his frustrations out in his cry , no holding back. Hemant was first willing to help him but now he was determined to save Kunal from his own pit because in his eyes a man like him who built his legacy on his own does not deserve a life like this after the sacrifices and hardwork he endured. Hemant had an idea what he is going through and how to make his life better. After Kunal calmed down in few minuted Hemant moved away as Kunal sat on that table. Hemant soon started to talk.
"Kunal , I can now see why you are always struggling. You are struggling with your own identity. Shall I ask you a simple question. Who do you think is responsible for all of this?"
Kunal did some heavy sobs , something unusual coming from a man who is emotional. Hemant has always believed the notion that when a men cries he cries when it hurts the most. And Kunal was deeply hurt with his life. After gaining some composure Kunal answered.
"I know Hemant , its me. I am the one responsible for all of this. I should've put a stop to her affair a long time ago , but now the damage is already done"
Hemant understood that Kunal was seeing this the wrong way. He soon responded.
"No Kunal , the problem is you definitely. But its not because you didn't stop it , its because you let yourself down"
Kunal was confused as he looked at Hemant. He continued.
"Mouni didn't move away from you because she no longer loved you. She moved away because she couldn't see her Kunal anymore"
Kunal listened to Hemant's words carefully.
"Your son didn't acknowledge you because he couldn't see or recognize his father anymore. You've changed so much in their eyes Kunal that they have failed to see you. You let your kinks take control of your life. That is where everything went wrong"
Kunal looked at him with defeat and realization in his eyes. He felt like he wanted to cry some more. But Hemant comforted him , he patted on his shoulder and said.
"Don't worry , I am with you. I will help you get over this. I cannot promise that you will get your family back , but I assure you that you will not loose yourself. These will be babysteps but it will help you find your true self and overcome. But for that to happen I want a promise from you"
"Whatever it is , I promise Hemant"
"Listen first. From now on , right from this moment , you will stop fantasizing about your wife and her lover. I get that a sexual inuendo is hard to control in a man but if you really wanna be yourself and regain your identity , you need to make some bold steps. Promise me that you will stop getting involved with your wife and her....boyfriend for your kinks"
Kunal eventually gained composure from his crying as he rubbed his tears off. Kunal pushes a smile on his face as he shakes Hemant's hands.
"I promise Hemant. I won't be involved in their moments anymore. I will focus on my redemption now"
"Good , we will find other activities to make you actually enjoy life and connect more with yourself"
And since that day , Kunal and Hemant's bond of friendship only grew. That evening , again Sonarika gave Hemant the cold shoulders , she was adamant she won't talk to him unless the Kunal situation is done for. But Hemant wasn't willing to leave Kunal , he figured he will eventually explain it to Sonarika once all this overburden of work and his other commitments are done for.
But things only went worse when one day Sonarika was with Meghna doing some shopping in the city when she saw Hemant and Kunal walking into the Irish Bar together. That night they had a nasty fight again , and this time again Sonarika wasn't ready to hear any more excuses from Hemant. And this time she punished him for his deed and send him to sleep on the couch for the night. Hemant was reluctant but he didn't want to fight it out with Sonarika. Eventually he agreed and then slept on the couch for the night. Hemant eventually rescheduled his WFLF workout routine which made him avoid going early hoping to spend more time with his family. But Sonarika was still upset and didn't bother with Hemant's apologies anymore. Hemant was slightly more relieved that he get to spend more time with Karan and Anjali for the time being.
A few days later , Tamanna invited Hemant to attend Sanjana's kid's birthday. But Hemant politely declined , he explained it to Tamanna that his breakup with Sanjana wasn't exactly a happy one and she is never going to forgive him no matter how much they have moved on. Tamanna understood his reasoning and thus went to the party alone.
Sonarika was enraged with Hemant more now , and talking her frutrations out with Meghna didn't help her either because she would indirectly insinuate that she has a better option right in front of her in Vikram. Sonarika had completely stopped talking to him , Vikram was completely blacked out from her life. She had no idea where he was or what he was doing. But this started to negatively affect her. At times she thought she might have overstepped it and Vikram might be quiet upset with her. And her feelings were on overdrive now , thinking that she did something wrong with him. Sonarika hated herself at first , but then this argument with Hemant and his involvement with Kunal really angered her making her think of Vikram even more. Out of desperation she went to the apartment that Vikram used to live in the city. But the place was locked and the security guard said he isn't here for the last few months. This convinced Sonarika that Vikram was upset with her words and he is now avoiding her. And this made her mind desperate , add that to her current fight with Hemant and Sonarika was loosing her sanity in finding ground in her brain. Every single day she would remember the words Mouni said that night.
"Sagar was one of the best decisions I made and I feel more complete than I ever was. You have to make that decision too , and I know deep down you have the strength and will to make the right decision."
And then words of Meghna way before that.
"Vikram fits the description of your prince charming. He is basically everything that you once craved. In a way , I kinda wished you never met Hemant so that I could bring you and Vikram together and make a wonderful power couple."
Their shared kiss on that rainy evening beneath a tree. The unforgettable sight of Vikram jerking his cock in the bathroom shooting his cum. Sonarika didn't exactly have much experience in types of cocks , but that sight was something else. She started to believe Meghna's gossips about how Vikram during his womanizing days was a legend and most women he slept with during his 'emo' phase under Sagar's direction have all been pretty satisfied with him with one of the women even proposed a marriage to him.
She was falling for him and she was loosing her grip on her reality.
