Chapter 96: The Confession
Dr. Madhavan arrived at the hospital carrying a beautifully wrapped baby kit — soft clothes, a small blanket, and a set of newborn essentials. He congratulated both Rahul and Anandhi with a warm smile, but his face carried an unmistakable shadow of questions.
After spending a few polite minutes with Anandhi and admiring the baby, Madhavan excused himself. “Anandhi, please rest. I need to speak with Rahul for a moment.”
Rahul nodded and led the doctor out of the room. They walked silently until they reached the hospital parking lot. Rahul opened the door of his car and gestured for Madhavan to sit inside so they could speak privately.
Once the doors were closed, Rahul didn’t waste time.
“I want to change the blood group record of the baby,” he said directly. “Right now, the record shows A+. I need it changed to AB+.”
Madhavan stared at him, stunned. “Why? Rahul, I can never do anything that changes official medical records. It’s a sin against my duty. How can I even ask other people to do that?”
Rahul leaned forward, his voice desperate. “Please… I’m begging you. Just this once.”
“No,” Madhavan said firmly. “How can you even think of changing the record of your own baby? Don’t you know the risk? When she grows up, they will take new tests. She is your baby, Rahul…”
Rahul’s face twisted with pain. His voice cracked as he finally broke.
“Not my baby, okay?
Not my baby.
I’m asking all this so I can clearly tell the world she is my baby.”
Madhavan froze, completely shocked. “The baby… is not yours?”
Rahul’s eyes filled with tears. He looked broken. “No… not mine.”
Madhavan’s voice dropped to a whisper. “Then whose?”
“Suriya’s.”
Madhavan was visibly shaken. “What? Suriya? Your business partner? Your family friend?”
He demanded answers. “Why? Who? Is Anandhi cheating on you? Shit… what a lousy woman—”
“Don’t badmouth her!” Rahul snapped, his voice sharp. “It’s not her fault. It’s all because of me. I pushed her into it.”
Madhavan was utterly confused. “You pushed her? I don’t understand…”
Rahul took a long, shaky breath. For the first time, he decided to reveal everything.
“I have never told you my full backstory. All this time I only asked for favours without explaining anything in detail. I was scared that the way you see me would change if you knew what I had been thinking.”
Madhavan placed a hand on Rahul’s shoulder, his voice gentle but firm. “Tell me your story. Do you think I will think badly of you now? When no one else dared to enter my experiment, you did. I have always seen you like my own younger brother. I will give you whatever advice or guidance I can. Please… don’t hold it inside anymore.”
Rahul stared out through the car windshield for a long moment, then began speaking in a low, heavy voice.
“Me and Anandhi are college sweethearts. We married against our families’ wishes and society’s odds. Both families threw us out. With no support, we stuck together and started a family. But reality hit us hard. We were loaded with debts. Friends slowly faded away. I settled for small jobs while I made her study to become a teacher. Every expense added up. Riya was born, then soon after Rohan. Medical needs, hospital bills, baby care — everything required money. Loans kept piling up. We invested in something and got cheated. Unable to manage, I shifted to Mumbai for several years. I had to sacrifice my youth and happiness just to clear debts, but only the interest was getting paid every month, never the principal. Local debtors kept chasing us.
Anandhi joined a college so she could manage the kids and rent. My income went entirely to debts. We sacrificed everything for those loans. Years passed — almost nine years. I was still in Mumbai. My visits to our town were less than ten in all those years. We both ached for each other terribly.
Then an unwanted thing happened. A so-called friend from our town came to Mumbai and showed me a clip of Anandhi cheating with some random person. I was furious. I doubted her completely. I thought she had cheated me for cheap pleasure. That is when I decided to end my life. I drove my bike at full speed and crashed into your car.
When I woke up, I was in your lab. You were telling me about your new age-reversal machine that could reset the body to its early twenties. No one was ready to be your test subject. You said the body would stay young for only 100 days, after which it would slowly restore to its original age. You had only tested on monkeys, and even they hadn’t crossed 70 days. But you had a big client coming and needed to demonstrate it on a human. I volunteered.
My only reason was revenge. I wanted to become young again, go back to town, fuck her, and take my revenge. I wanted the world to know Anandhi was cheating with a young man. I didn’t care about the aftermath because I had already chosen to die. I just wanted to punish her before I did.
After the experiment, I received your money and returned to town. But my new young look helped me discover the truth — the clip my friend showed was an AI-fabricated video. I punished those people and stopped them from chasing her.
Later, I decided not to reveal my identity. I entered Anandhi’s house as ‘Jeeva’ instead of Rahul. She was shocked because I looked exactly like the young Rahul she had fallen in love with — charming and charismatic. The present-day Rahul was fat, grey-haired, and not good-looking. I introduced myself as a relative and stayed close.
I did that to check if Anandhi had any other people chasing her. That is when I realised there was a neighbour named Suriya who had been secretly protecting her for a long time. He did it because Anandhi had once consoled him and stood by him when he was broken after his divorce and lost custody of his child. He was a gentle man. They barely spoke in public because the world saw them as odd.
Frankly, we didn’t gel well. I also realised he had strong lust for Anandhi.
Then you called me and said the monkey experiment had failed — it didn’t cross the 100-day mark and died. That news shook me badly. By then I knew I might not survive beyond 100 days either. Fear caught me. I thought about the kids. I wanted Anandhi and the children to have a good life. I thought pushing her into safe hands was necessary. But Anandhi was still full of me. So I decided to bring Suriya into her life. He was divorced, a good and gentle man, and he also had extra lust for her.
Using my identity as Jeeva, I tricked and orchestrated situations to bring them closer. Anandhi mentally prepared herself that I had run away with some woman and decided to start a new life with Suriya. He had several weeks of intense sex with her.
But luck was on my side. Anandhi also fell for Jeeva. It’s a complex story. She had sex with Jeeva, and only after that did she realise Jeeva was actually Rahul. The entire truth came out. She pleaded with me to stay and said she would take care of everything. But I left them without notice.
Months later, I crossed the 100 days safely. I decided to return, take her back for me and my kids. But by then, Anandhi could not hurt Suriya either. She tried to keep him in her life as well. That is when she fainted and we realised she was pregnant. The doctor said 12–14 weeks. When we calculated the timeline, it matched the period when she was having great sex with Suriya. Luckily, I had her once too. That is my only leverage now.
If I need to send Suriya completely out of our lives, I need to orchestrate everything so the baby is recorded as really mine. That way he will have no hold left on her.”
Rahul finished speaking, his voice hoarse and eyes red with tears.
Madhavan sat in complete silence for a long time, processing the entire shocking story.
Finally, he let out a heavy sigh.
“Rahul… this is far more complicated than I ever imagined.”
