"Carlos Zaldana," Archana declared with unwavering determination, "you cannot replace a mother. I am the mother of your children. You married me in 2006."

In the year 2009, a devastating accident shook their lives. Carlos had been working on a car, performing a brake job, and he made a critical mistake – he forgot to engage the emergency brake. The car rolled over him, leaving him with severe injuries. Carlos was rushed to Stanford Hospital in East Palo Alto, California, where he fought for his life. At the time, their daughter Alisha had already been born on October 4, 2007, and their son Nirmal had joined the family on November 29, 2008.

During the difficult months of Carlos's recovery, Archana shouldered the weight of their family's responsibilities alone. "Throughout that whole time," she recounted, "I had to do everything by myself. Nobody helped me."

Archana's devotion knew no bounds. She cared for Carlos tirelessly, even tending to his most basic needs, such as feeding him and providing personal care. "I took care of you," Archana stated firmly, "even cleaning you after accidents."

However, as Carlos gradually regained his health, their relationship took a painful turn. Carlos's extramarital affair with a woman named Maria had caused a rift in their marriage. The aftermath of his affair was marked by mistreatment and blame, as he resorted to hurtful insults, accusing Archana of being a "bitch" and "whore on the streets."

To further compound the distress, Carlos took drastic actions, including involving the police. He falsely accused Archana, leading to her unjust incarcerations more than 20 times.

Archana's voice wavered as she recounted, "You took my passport from my country, my birth certificate, my social security card, and most importantly, my USA citizenship document in 2016."

The betrayal didn't end there. Carlos, along with his sister Blanca Zaldana, orchestrated a cruel scheme involving their young son, Nirmal. They coerced Nirmal into fabricating a story at school, falsely claiming that Archana had harmed him and even chased him with a knife. Archana vehemently denied these allegations, emphasizing that she was not the one who lied, but rather a victim of Carlos's failures and his affair with Maria.

Carlos's cruelty extended to hurtful text messages, where he callously remarked, "Now Alisha is growing up, and she will be a bitch like me on the street." Archana carried the scars of those words and actions in her heart.

In Archana's eyes, the lies and deceit were an attempt to cover up the truth. "When someone lies," she asserted, "they always hide. You played with the emotions and feelings of our children, making them homeless, and then blamed it all on me."

Archana's love for her children remained steadfast. "I believe in my kids, and I love them," she declared, her resolve unwavering. She clung to the hope that someday, the truth would prevail, and Carlos would reveal the truth to their children, allowing them to return to her with the respect and love they deserved.

As the story continued, it was clear that the truth was nearing its day of reckoning. Archana's courage and love for her children shone like a beacon in the darkness, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. She remained determined to see justice served and her family reunited.
