It's been a few days since I locked up here in my bedroom. Constantly thinking about rishab up to dawn and dusk. I was devastated by my father's choice, parents are the ones who always think about their children's happiness. But In my situation, It is quite opposite. My father is against me in this. Maybe he was correct. Maybe he was overprotective of me. Or else he thinks I am the one who spoiled his name and fame.All the rubbish thoughts, filled in my mind.After crying all day, my eyes are sore, and my heavy eyelids are slowly shutting down and then all went black...
AFTER SOMETIME...
I heard the crackling sound of my door causing me to wake up with fear and agony. I stood up and rubbed my eyes to clear the water from my eyes.
"Riya..." mom approached me with sadness on her face.
"Don't come near to me, you people are not my parents. You don't care about my happiness at all, then what I am to you?" I asked my mom angrily slowly raising my voice.
Because I know If I raise my voice, then it will be damn sure that, my position also becomes like poor rishab.
"No...darling," mom said to me while pouring water into the glass.
I gave her a death stare, causing her to chuckle.
"I am your mother, you know right? I gave a promise to you after your birth. That I'll be a protector to you in all aspects of your life." mom said.
I groaned and said "Oh yeah! that's why you didn't stop the father who was acting like a beast a few days ago."
Mom sighed, looked at me hopelessly, and said "Darling, do you believe me?..."
Without letting her speak, I said "No..."
"Riya...be patient," mom said to me with anger in her eyes.
"Fine, I am listening," I said to her.
"Rishab is safe...".
"What?" I asked her to confirm what she is saying.
"Yeah, rishab is safe. He is on medication at the hospital."
I sighed and asked mom " Mom, please let me go. I want to see him".
"Riya, If your father knows, that I gave you the freedom to go. Then you are also will be in danger."
"What do you mean, mom?" I asked her with curiosity.
"I joined him in the hospital on the outskirts of our town." Do you understand what I am saying?".
"Absolutely, mom!" please give me further details about it.
"There is no time, Riya. You should be packing your stuff now".
I stood in front of my mom with my jaw dropped. I don't know what I have to do now and the main shocking truth is, my mom is supporting me, especially in this regard! I was awestruck by her action and thoughts.
"My god, Riya for god's sake! I don't know how you will manage your things in the future with your husband" mom said slowly while packing my things in my luggage.
"Mom, what are you talking about?, I thought you never liked rishab. All of sudden what is this? are you going to tell me, what's going on?" I asked mom.
"Riya, rishab will let you everything. Now get yourself ready and be in this room only, are you understanding?".
I nodded.
Then suddenly, someone pounding on the door.
I started to panic, but then I assured myself that, nothing is going to happen, mom is there with me.
Mom approached to the door and opened it.
Then we saw a human-form beast, which is my father standing at the doorframe folding his arms with a question mark look on his face.
"What? Satyajit, what happened?" mom asked.
"I'm sure you're up to something else, Arpita" dad gave her a death stare.
"I came to check on her" mom said to dad while locking her eyes with his.
"Oh, do you find anything interesting?" he said while coming towards me.
I stood like a rock at where I am standing. And I gritted my teeth, causing him suspicious.
"Yeah, she's perfectly fine! I hope we can give space to her, now". mom said while looking at me.
"Why not? my dear wife. How can I say no to you", my father said.
And then, my father started to look around the room. He found my luggage full of my clothes stuffed into it.
"Is someone here, going on any trip?" father asked while looking at both of us.
"No... we are..." mom was startled.
