Divya's pov
I had returned back to India, and I was here with Sthuthi, searching for a wedding dress... There were so many dresses I wanted a dress that will cover my stomach, but Sthuthi said that there is no Indian wedding dress that doesn't show our stomach.
We were searching for dresses of engagement, haldhi, mehandhi and then marriage... Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
"By the way, your not pregnant or anything that you have to cover your stomach" she said me, handing me another dress.
"This is nice for engagement" I said
"Yeah, it looks nice on you" she said.
"This, for haldhi" I said showing an yellow colour dress, it's tradition to wear yellow dress for haldhi.
Then we took the dress for mehandhi and went, we are not supposed to take wedding dress before engagement so
"Divya, what are you going to do about your parents?" she asked me, then I remembered I had a father, a step monther and step sister.
Oh god what should I say to my father?
I was getting so scared now, I was way more scared than before. . Our engagement is in two days and they will all definitely come.
I'm thinking what I should say to them.
Maybe 'hi, I'm really sorry for leaving '?
Na... That won't work, then what should I say?
"Divya!" I turned back to see dad, He was keeping his hands on my shoulder with a gentle smile on his face... Why would he smile at me like that... He never smiles at me.
"Dad??!" I asked
He didn't reply but he hugged me, he hugged me tightly as if he'll never let go
"I'm so sorry Divya" he said slowly
"Why dad?" I asked him
"I-I" he was Stuttering
"I first hated you because I thought your mother killed herself because of you... But now I know that your mother killed herself because of me... I'm sorry Divya I couldn't be a nice father" he said,
I was in deep thought by what he said, he was actually apologising, he really regrets everything??
"I know this is weird for you, I just hope that you could forgive me, somehow" he said
"Of course I'll forgive you dad." I said with a reassuring smile
"Dear, you don't have to marry Tarun if you don't want to" he said me
"No dad.. I want to marry Tarun after all he is my first love" I said.
I wanted to marry Tarun to break him, but I can't say that to dad.
"Okay dear, as you wish" he said
"Ashwath, what are you doing with her?" step mother asked, she eyed me with disgust, I know this... Its obvious for her to hate me... After all I am the daughter of her husband's first wife... It makes sense.
"Sujata, never ever call her like that, or see her like that" dad said to her
"Then how am I supposed to see her? Ha? You only tell me... She is Asha's daughter" My step mother said, I never knew my mother's name was Asha!
I was never interested to know about my mother as she left me and went away.
"So what? Asha was your sister, Sujata... You can at least take care of Divya.. If not as your daughter at least as your niece" he said
Wait what the heck? M-my mother is Sujata's sister? That means my father married his sister in law.. What nonsense is this?
"What?!" I asked them
"yes, come with us" dad said and took me to a cafe. We sat on a table
"I was supposed to marry you! But that Asha locked me in the room and she sat as the bride!!" Sujata yelled
"Woah.. Wait!" I said.
"Why did she do that?" I asked her
"Because your mother hated me.. I.. I killed her love" she said... Umm....I don't get a thing actually
"I don't understand anything!" I said raising my hands indicating my confusion
"Let Me tell you" Sujata told me
"Your Mother was my elder sister, when she was 21, she was in love with Karan, a guys in our college.. Our parents were fine with their love and our parents said they could get married after college" she said and paused
Then she continued
"Then one night, I was driving my car, I was kind of drunk and that's when I accidentally hit someone else's car, the person in the car was Karan, Karan died on the spot. Then your mother though that I purposefully killed Karan so from that day she was waiting to get revenge, over those years she became mad, she would all of a sudden break things, start yelling and do many things.
When I was 24, I met Ashwath, I fell in love with him... I wanted to marry him. The Day of our marriage came. Asha came into my room she was wearing a dress similar to mine, when I asked her why she said it was because she wanted us to match, I didn't get it though.
Then when she left, she locked my room I screamed for help but by the time someone opened the door the marriage was over. "
She said sadly and closed her eyes.
"And then on first night I forced Asha, that's when she gave birth to you.. After that I fell in love with Asha but Asha still hated me, so she killed herself" dad said
I couldn't believe this, that's when it happened again
I started sweating, felt nauseous and dizzy, my chest started aching, I was shivering and gasping for air.
I had a panic attack, AGAIN!
