Posting this on behalf of my friend.

Someday, April 2026:

Oka relatives valla housewarming ceremony ki vellanu. Vallu naku em antha close kuda kadu and I never interacted much with them. Just kalisinappudu formality ki conversation chesta anthe.

Everything was good until someone from their family asked me to help them look after the lunch proceedings and all. Obviously I obliged. Akkada pani vallu vanta chestunte I was keeping an eye on them and this guy who I don't even remember meeting in my entire life, came and sat beside me and started interviewing me. Inka chesedi em leka I went with the flow. There was a pause in our conversation and out of the blue he asked me if I was in contact with my cousins. Nen emo such a silly question adi idi anukoni I said yes. Then he started to ask more questions about them. I asked him if he knew them and how he was related to them. Because naku gurtunnanta varaku I never saw him in any other family function where my cousins and I were there. I was only basically meeting him for the first time.

Appudu he told me something that I still can't get over. "Nen adigindi mee daddy first wife pillala gurinchi." I was speechless and I zoned out for a minute and I quickly put all the pieces together(mundu chepta) and I didn't want him to think that I didn't know so I said "oh valla? em contact ledu." Then he dropped the topic and walked away. Honestly, I wasn't as shocked as one would expect.

Now coming to the "pieces" I talked about.

2020: The night after passing of my grandmother.

I was checking on my grandfather to see how he was doing and sit with him. After a while, he started talking about my dad. I didn't totally understand what he was talking about because he was drunk but I could pickup some phrases. And somehow I put together, by asking him over and over, that my dad was married before and had three kids. I obviously didn't believe him. But then he told me about a family picture that my dad's first wife took which had all of them. He hadn't shown it to me yet.

2021: We were cleaning the house for the one year ceremony of my grandmother. I was cleaning out the cupboards of hers and I found the picture. Adi chudagane i was praying to God that let those three kids be someone else. Tondarga phone lo photo teeskunna. My grandfather walked in and took that picture and said nothing. That's when I realised it's all true. I was just choosing not to believe it. But goddamn it's all true.

2024: When my grandfather also passed away we were in a similar situation again. Only this time I found the picture and the divorce papers of my dad as a bonus. And this time my mom caught me with both of them in my hands and grabbed them while I was questioning what they were.

Years later I was still choosing not to believe it until last year when, thank the devil, that fkn guy came to me and validated this thing. I don't hate my dad or my family or how it all turned out to be. He's the best dad one could ask for but after knowing this I feel like an outsider in my family when all the other people are talking about how they used to enjoy their childhood and what all memories they made and I don't have anything. I don't talk to my relatives or my cousins because they are all so older to me which makes sense now.

Honestly, Idk what I'm looking for here. Maybe some advice on how to process this? How to move on? This was either a confession or a rant or one of those lifting the weight off my chest moments.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: Ma grandfather cheppina dani batti my dad first marriage fell apart because of his first wife and kids. Apparently she turned them against my dad and my family 

Would you rather have your parents fight all the time over silly things which are loud and crazy but you'll know what they're fighting about or huge fights which are low and calm but you'll never know what they're fighting about and you're anxious always?
