My Life: Feeling of Love [Completed]

34. No Longer Alone

The next morning, Sooraj took Sanjana home to freshen up.

After getting ready, Sanjana was packing her bag when her mother entered her room.

Mom: (stern voice) "Where were you last night?"

Sanjana: (without looking at her) "I was with my friend."

Mom: "Was it that boy?"

Sanjana looked at her.

Mom: (shouting) "Sanjana, don't you have a little bit of shame inside you? How can you spend the whole night with a boy and just come home like nothing happened?"

Sanjana sighed, trying to ignore her questions.

Then, her father and Pooja came into the room, hearing her mother's shout.

Dad: (worried) "What happened? Why are you shouting?"

Mom: (looking at Sanjana with a disgusted look) "Ask your daughter! She spent last night at a boy's place."

Dad: (shocked) "What?"

Pooja: "She is always with him. He is even standing outside waiting for her now."

Sanjana glared at Pooja, who smirked at her.

Dad: "Sanjana! Where were you last night?"

Sanjana: (frustrated) "Yes, I was at a boy's house! So what? Why are you all over-reacting so-"

She got a slap from her father.

Dad: (through gritted teeth) "Are you even hearing yourself? Aren't you embarrassed talking about all these?"

Mom: "Pooja, call that boy inside!"

Sanjana: (shouting) "Why are you dragging him into this? Pooja, you'll not call him! He doesn't have anything to do with this!"

Mom: "See, how she is protecting him! What relationship do you have with him?"

Sanjana: "We are just...g-good f-friends..."

'What happened to me? Why did I stutter?'

Pooja: (smirking) "Why are you stuttering, Sanjana?"

Mom: "Don't meet him again!"

Sanjana: "You don't have the right to decide that!"

Dad: "Sanjana, don't talk to your mother like that!"

Sanjana: (scoffing) "Mother? How can she be my mother?"

Pooja and her father looked confused.

Sanjana: "Isn't my mother someone else? Isn't she the woman, with whom you made a mistake, Dad?"

Her father was shocked to hear that.

Dad: "H-how d-did-"

Then he turned towards her wife, who was looking down.

Dad: "Did you tell her?"

Her mother turned away her face, not meeting his eyes.

Dad: (shouting) "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"

Pooja and her mother flinched, but Sanjana remained calm.

Dad: (grabbing her hand) "We need to talk right now!"

He dragged Sanjana's mother to their room.

Sanjana took her bag and went out of the room, leaving a shocked Pooja behind.
