" There is no option left for me, except for to drown myself... In your Love!"

Chapter-42

Vanya's POV:-

Life with Surya is easy. We are coming and going to college together. We have three meals in a day together. We sometimes cuddle in the couch and sleep there only.

Nothing is out of space and I am slowly getting addicted to this. To his touches, to his care, to his love... We fitted perfect. I adored his imperfections, he loved me madly for who I am. He was the missing block in my puzzle called life. Now here he is, I feel like I am complete... With him!

I got accustomed to his presence that his absence is killing me. Currently I am sitting with Ananya Rajput, the princess of this Rajput family. Surya's step-sister who is his princess.

Six days back Surya left somewhere saying that he would be back in ten days and he is going for buisness.

That evening when Surya left, he dropped me at his parents place. At first I was very intimidated by his father who looked so scary but he actually is a sweetheart. We played chess and carrom board the last day. He drived me to college today morning. He is a good company to be with and not to forget the stories he has in. They are so fascinating. He told me so many things about Surya and some of his youth days.

And my most favourite person in the home is Surya's step-mother. She is so beautiful, calm, generous and my bond with the family has increased just in few days and I feel like I already know them since forever. Jhanvi, Shanaya di and Adwait bhaiyya teased me about how I should make this time and charm Surya's parents.

Currently me and Ananya are getting done with her homework. I am studying and at the same time helping her in her work too.

The door of our room is opened and I saw Namrata (Surya's step-mother) entering room with a tray in her hand. It has two glasses in one which is milk and the other has juice in it.

"Oh my babies, have this and then go back to your study." She said coming inside.

I smiled at her and took the juice. "Eww mumma, I need juice too. Like Vanya bhabi." Ananya said and Namrata aunty threw her serious stare.

"What? I am not getting intimidated this time. If you say something. I will complain dadda and bhaiyya." Ananya said and I shook my head. I am sure Surya is the one who spoilt her. His father is also a part but not as much as Surya from what I heard from Namrata aunty. He is her back up plans if things goes wrong. I know about her and Surya's bad relationship. I always saw a sad glint in her eyes whenever she talked about my boyfriend.

After lots of pestering, the devil drank the milk with a poker face. After getting done with milk she angry face she gave her mother the glass. After completing our drinks she left taking the glasses with her giving me a warm smile.

We resumed our work and in between uncle came and checked on us. It really a treat to watch the father and daughter duo. They are inseparable. She is the apple eye of his eyes and he looks at her as she is the most pure and adorable thing. Everytime I see them together I miss my father more!

The latter dinner is an eventful time. When I first came, that dinner was went with me and uncle talking mostly and Ananya doing her usual chattering. The staff looked quite amused and shocked when uncle talked casually. Later on they got accustomed but still they will have the amusement in their eyes.

Surya doesn't even call. At the initial days I was very sad and then aunty said that they won't be contacting home when they are very busy with that outside work . They will only call if it is important.

After completing my dinner I took stroll in the garden for sometime and thenI went to Ananya's room and saw aunty putting her to sleep. She smiled when she saw me. I smiled back at her and after Anu slept we both left to mine. Aunty made sure that I felt at home and ease staying with them.

We both looked at the sky standing in my room. "Did uncle went like this too?" I asked and saw her smiling a little. It seemed sad. "Yeah. He used to stay very little less at home." She said.

"How was it when you came here? If you don't mind me asking... I know Surya never warmed up to you.." I said now interested how she managed to take all of this information in.

"Terrible... You know... As you said I tried my everything to get their attention but... I was just a replacement... They were and Surya still won't talk to me because I took her place...

" I never had anyone to talk. I felt lonely in this big mansion and top to that my husband never even used to glance at me Vanya. I was lonely all this years... So are they. I was ready to heal their pain and all they had to do was let me in to their life. They never did. I was just a trophy for him to show to the world." She said and to be honest I don't even know what to say anymore. Her eyes screamed pain. Unknown to me I lifted my hand and placed it on her palm. She gave me a smile.

"I never had this conversation with anyone before Vanya. I don't even know why I am telling it you." She took a pause and looked at me. "Maybe I feel that lonliness going away with your presence in our home. Surya never brought anyone home. Apart from Adwait. He never had anyone. Even though I am his stepmother... I always had and I still am caring for him and will do forever." She said with utter honesty. I just smiled at her.

" Didnt your father question uncle why he is ignoring you and all?" I asked. She snorted looking outside. "I was just a pawn for him to use for his business. He literally sold me to him. In the name of a deal.

" It took everything in me to digest that and... My husband never was there for me. When Surya left to boarding school. He came home only after 2-3 months. That continued. But after Anu born. He never stayed away more than 15 days. Slowly he started warming up to me. But Surya didn't. He never recieved love that he deserves Vanya. Love that is as pure as a mother's. I hope you give it him and love him." She said smiling at me.

"Namrata!" We heard Akshith uncle calling and aunty looked at me. "I will be leaving. Bye sweetheart. Good night." She said and I turned to look at the potrait on the bed side table which is Surya's. I am staying in his room. Unable to process what I just heard about the woman who is compassionate and loving... I need a shower.

After shower I wore my inners and quickly wore one of his shirt in his room. "Come soon Mr. Gangstar. We have a lot to talk!"
