Destined

Shree Ganesh.

"She was gone. But she left scare in my mind. I couldn't trust anybody. I feared human touch After that. When anybody tried to come near me i will have terrible reaction. Mrs Raisinghania already had less patience regarding me and my behaviour was not best according to her she had her precious daughter to take care of so she left me on my own. From then on I knew I was alone. There was nobody for me in this world. So I started to remain in my room. Sometimes mr Raisinghania would visit me. But I cared less. I never considered them as my parents in first place.  Both brothers did try too. I know it was not thier fault they were too young to understand their mother's mindset. They followed her mindlessly. But it was not my fault either right. That can't open up to them. I would have if they gave me enough time. But they never had that much patience in them. " Now Arya's voice was hoarase from crying. Shreyas wanted to tell her to stop but he knew she had let everything out today or else this will suffocate her in future.

"It was not the tragedy. Tragedy was when I got to know that I was an illegitimate child of Mr Raisinghania. You know who told me that."  She asked him. Arya chuckled at her naive self. Shreyas felt horrified listening to this even a mad person can tell the similarities between Arya and Mrs Raisinghania.

"Sisira Raisinghania. She told me that I was not Mrs Raisinghania daughter that's why she didn't like me. She hated me. I was naive back then that's why I believed her. It was not up to my little brain to think that my sister had malicious thoughts that time. So I believed her words. Because her points where valid for my 7 years old self. Everybody in family had dark coloured eyes. Mr Raisinghania had forest green eyes and both brothers inherited it from him. Where else Mrs Raisinghania had cerulean eyes and sisira had brown. Only I had lighter Shade and their indifference to me was another point. My little mind couldn't think another reason for thier hatred either. That was the point  when I had started opening up to mr Raisinghania but my world came crashing down yet again. When I thought I can have father's love. But reality was little too harsh. So I made it the point that I will not go near anyone in the house specially mr Raisinghania. He was the too busy  to notice change in his daughter. my relationship with Mrs Raisinghania was always rocky. She expected me to became a ideal daughter when she herself couldn't became my mother. And sisira's birthday was breaking point for the grief I had in my heart for all those years. I seriously wanted nothing from them. When Mr Raisinghania threw me out i finally felt peace. That I will get liberty now. You how old I was at that time." Arya asked with small smile but shreyas felt chill in his heart seeing that smile.

"I was 10. still a child. It was raining heavily that night winds were howling and I stood at the door for hours drenching in rain. What would I have done other then that I was helpless. But standing there I realised one thing even if I died there nobody would care so I left. I was roaming mindlessly on streets. I was on middle of road when a car was rushing towards me i finally thought it was end." Shreyas's hold on her tighten but Arya was not in her senses to feel it. She was lost in her past.

"But it was not my end. Suddenly I was  Pulled to otherside. I was dazed waiting for my death but pain never Came. When I open my eyes there was man shouting on me. I don't remember what happened after that because next time I opened my eyes I was in unfamiliar room. I didn't panick what bad would have happened after all I faced. I was naive didn't knew outside world.  How bad world really is. I sat there calmly till that man came back to check up on me. He was an old man in his fifties. He was the one who saved me. He was my baba Sanjeev maheshwari. He was bodygaurd to my grandfather who died before my birth. He told me truth. I didn't believe it first then he showed me the old pictures of Raisinghania family. At first I was vary of him. But he never gave me bad vibes he took care of me like his granddaughter. He wanted to take me back to Raisinghania mansion but I denied. I begged him to take me in. From then on Anahat Raisinghania became Aryanshi maheshwari and rest became history."

Arya finally felt all burdens are lifted from her shoulders. She told her husband truth of her life.

Shreyas felt his soul tremble hearing her past. He somewhere wanted her to reconcile with her parents but now he thinks they should stay 1000 km away from her. His poor baby had suffered so much because of them.

"I am sorry baby. " Shreyas couldn't control his tears. His jaan his little wife was so broken still she never let those negative emotions destroy herself.

"What are you sorry for jaan. It was not your fault. I should be thankful to you for coming in my life." Arya cupped his face wiping his tears with her cheeks.

"I am sorry I couldn't come early. I am sorry that little innocent you had to suffer so much. I am sorry that you got pathetic excuse of parents." Shreyas kissed her forehead.

They stayed in eachothers arms basking in warmth of thier love. Today they broke each of the barrier they had between them.

"You knew I hated my eyes so much." Arya said suddenly. Shreyas gave her puzzled look. Why would she hate those beautiful eyes. Arya chuckled at his face. And lightly pecked his lips.

"Why." Shreyas mumbled carssing her eyes.

"Because even if baba told me hundreds of times that I am Mr and Mrs Raisinghania's own daughter i couldn't forget sisira's words. That was truth right how can my own parents not like me. They were good to my siblings and second reason that this eyes made me stand out in crowd that I never wanted." Arya smiled"but now I like them because you like them."

Shreyas was overwhelmed. He never thought that person with most beautiful eyes hides so much pain in them. He always thought that he understands her the most. But how wrong he was. She was most fragile person he knows but at the same time she is the strongest of all.

Even after facing so much. she never gave up. She never back down from challenges she faced them head on. He was proud of her. He was thankful that she didn't give up.

So here it is another chapter.
Sorry for the delay.

I had whole story in my mind but I can't just pen it down.
