Divya's pov

"Oh dear, come in and calm down first" Sthuthi said me, I went in her house and she was holding me as I am non-stop crying. She's not used to me crying like an idiot, so I think she's kind of petrified

"What happened Divya, you never usually cry.... Why are you crying today ya? What haappened?" she asked me making me sit on the sofa

"They... He...me...marriage... I'm forced" I tried to say everything to her, but I just couldn't, my voice was weak and I was stuttering.

"I know dear... Its even on the news" she said and I was shocked for a second, then I startled

"What The heck?!"

"Look" she said and put the tv on

'DIVYA LOKESH RUNS AWAY, SAYING SHE WAS FORCED.. SHE REVEALS THE TARUN THAIWAR AND MAYA LUHANA AFFAIR '

"The heck?!" I say, but unfortunately every word they said was true.... But I didn't know that Maya Luhana was the girl Tarun had an affair with... Even though I did know that he had affair with someone... She she's the girl he apologized saying that he will divorce me. As if!

"I'm so sorry, Dates" Sthuthi said trying to lighten up the mood. She always tries it..She tried to always call me dates, which she thought was funny

"Sthuthi, I am sorry... I.. I can't live here anymore" I said her

"I understand, Dates... Maybe you should go somewhere abroad, you'll get an easy job" she said me, slowly soothing my back

"I know!" She said again as if she just got a new idea

"My uncle and aunt live there, You can live with them... They can adopt you!" she said

"I'm not a kid that they can adopt me! I'm freaking 25, Shoots!" I said her

"Oh... Okay but you can change your name!" she said me, actually nice idea!

"You can be Darah Richardson! Perfect name!" she said

"Where did you get that name from?" I asked trying to slightly giggle.

"Anyways, I'll help you cause I hate you and I wanted to get rid of you"

"Thank you I love you too"

"I love you 3"

"okay... Okay....we'll book your flight tickets first" she said

"where am I going?" I asked her

"Your going to Florida, Tampa" she said and started booking the flight tickets

"I'm going to come with you too... Then we can make you get settled down and I'll leave" she said

"I would've stayed with you but, this place has... Memories" she said and I knew exactly what she was talking about.. She was talking about Abhijit and her memories

Poor Sthuthi...

"I don't have clothes." I said

"We can buy you some clothes" I thought for a while then nodded

"And what about American currency?" I
Asked her

"We can transform Indian currency into American with your salary" she said, I nearly forgot that I actually had a job, I
Forgot that I earned some money of my own too.

"Yeah.. Right" I said

After one week of planning and buying stuff, I was ready to go and yes, I was going alone... Sthuthi insisted she would come... But I did not want to trouble her. I just wanted to leave from all this... And maybe never return

"Are you sure, you want to go alone?" Sthuthi asked me just before I went for check in

"yeah.. Its not like we can do anything" I said her

"Okay bye Dates, take care of yourself" Sthuthi said giving me one last hug before I leave, I avoided my parents and Tarun as much as possible, I didn't want them to know that I'm leaving... Its not like that really matters to them.. Cause now even the media dropped my and Tarun's matter and have got another gossip to currently hold on to.

After the check in, I went and sat in my seat and opened my laptop, I just saw pewdiepie and jacksepticeye till I felt drowsy but I knew better than to sleep on the plane

*************

After I don't know how long, I finally landed in Florida. The air hit me, and my hair flew back, this place looked so perfect to me.... More perfect than anything ever.

This was where my new life was going to be, my surgeon work was also there. I actually refused to live with Sthuthi's uncle and aunt cause I didn't want to be dependent on them, I just wanted to live a normal life.

I wanted to more like forget everything on earth and just be who I always wanted to be. I wanted to become someone else. I didn't want to be Divya Lokesh anymore. I wanted to be a new me. I wanted to be Darah Richardson.

I quickly bought an apartment and it was quite fine for a single person. I didn't want to rent it so I just bought it.

It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms a kitchen and a hall. I didn't know what more was needed

I could decorate it too.

I think after all this even I deserve a change, so I went to the parlour... I place I hated before, but now for my own good I am going there... Weird I know.

It was sad making my wavy hair straight, and I thought to dye it but I just loved my natural hair colour so much.

I went to my room and the first thing I did was put the image of two people I love so much.

First I put an image of me and Sthuthi, hugging each other, our faces facing front. And another image of Tarun.

Yes, no matter how much I denied this....I loved Tarun. I couldn't change that.

I will move on with my life.. I..I have to!
