She is my sister, mom!

For Rekha, Madhu's existence was a constant reminder of her own presumed shortcomings and her in-law's dissatisfaction with her.

That is why she could never love Madhu… In fact, she even hated her at times. But she knew her husband would have her head if she ever did anything to Madhu out of spite... And Madhu was also so obedient that she never got any reason to vent her anger and resentment on her so far.

But now that she had given her the reason, Rekha could not stop herself.

"Did you ever think of our family and our reputation when you decided to go around seducing men?? We raised you out of kindness and is this how you repay us?" Her gran pitched in rubbing salt over her wounds.

"I… I did… I did not do an-an-anything wr-wrong. I pr-promi-promise. I just like him… an-and m-marry him! Pl-pl-please, jus-just…" Madhu couldn't really continue between her hiccups. And Rekha really did not let her continue.
