First And Last Love

Aditi patted Kirti's shoulder with her another hand. "Don't be so formal with us. We have known each other for many years!" She said with a wide smile and added further, "If your elder brother wants you to go in the car that he will arrange for you, then just go in it."

Kirti forced a smile on her face and replied, "Okay."

Vikram reached out to pat Kirti's head gently. "Remember one thing, like how a diamond cuts another diamond, a sharp glib tongue can be defeated only with an equally sharp tongue. Don't stay silent. You must fight back when he crosses his limits. A dutiful wife always ends up with depression and forlornness." Vikram paused as he stared at her meaningfully. "You know this better than anyone else. So don't repeat your mistakes."

Kirti pursed her lips when she heard what Vikram said. He wanted her to not repeat her mistakes.

Why doesn't he tell his brother to not bully her again instead? Why it is she who must change herself every time?
