Destiny's challenge ❤️

One step closer

Swara stared at stars thinking how her life took sharp turn.. till yesterday she was normal but now going to marry the person who gave her that assurance which she expected from her family.. don't know what will happen in future but maybe she won't feel suffocating in his presence which she always felt in between her family..

Swara hugged herself feeling cold but stayed there only as she loves cold wind.. she smiles little feeling coldness but suddenly her smile faded thinking about Sanskar..

" Thinking about future?" Her brother asked from behind..

Swara become straight and nodded her head..

" I know I was never a good brother in your life.. in coming to dad's shoes I forgot that I am your brother first but don't punish yourself for that mistakes.." her brother said slowly..

Swara stared him unbelievably.. the person who never left a chance to taunt her back after her mistake is saying this.. she can't believe this.." I never hate you.. it's just when I thought I could relay upon you.. you were never there.. n mumma's favouritism towards you made it worst.. I know I am not good daughter.. I did many mistakes but so as you.. just bcz you are boy you were forgiven so easily and I am still asking for a place in this family.. you don't know but I many times wished to get died instead of dad.. maybe by that you all would be happy family but alas I can't change the past.." Swara stated with crying voice..

Her brother came forward to console her but stopped seeing her backed off..." I know.. mom's nature made nothing good.. but trust me Swara I never wanted to hurt you like this.. it's just we couldn't.."

" You couldn't forget my one mistake.. right? Let me tell you today that I believed that cheater bcz of you both.. I felt caged in this house.. you only tell me after my 12th did I ever went alone.. you restricted from regular college.. I agreed.. you restricted from meeting my friends..still I agreed.. but till when.. whenever you both goes out I felt like whole house is eating me up.. I felt lonely.. bcz of that I went on dating site and did that mistake.. I know I was at fault but he said that he will take me out from here.. just for going away from here I believed his fake promises.. but I failed and you got reason to punish me.. but what could I do? I was so desperate to go away from here that I believed everything he said.. n got cheated.. you know bhai after dad's departure when I got burnt bcz of hot water you were the one who throw cold water on me and my leg got saved.. you became hero from that time but with the passing time your behaviour changed.. you thought I am snatching your place in this house and you started to scold me in every matter.. with the passing time that jealousy turned into strong anger where you couldn't back off.. but at the end I suffered alone.. not you.. so don't.. please don't give any justification now.. bcz I can't handle it.. i don't want to die now.. I already tried twice but not now.. please leave me alone.. n tell your mother that I promise to never come in this house after marriage so she doesn't have to get ashamed bcz of my decision infront of her relatives.." Swara finally blurted her heart and left from there cryingly..

Her brother stood there only processing her every words.. he knew he lacked somewhere but these much.. he really never thought about it.. in his teenage years he felt jealous of Swara.. but with the passing time he never tried to mend their relationship like before and it's true that her mother's nature didn't help either.. they both failed to be Swara's family.. n today he realised it.. but now he can't help.. it's too late to rectify their mistakes.. he remembered one incident when Swara gave him his 18th birthday gift.. one small pen .. that too saving her money which she took for snacks but she saved every penny and bought that pen.. but what he did ... He threw that infront of her.. how broken she would have felt? She was just 8 years old that time..still thought about his happiness and what he did.. just to break that innocent girl's heart .. he sat down feeling miserable..one by one he remembered every incident where they that little girl's heart.. once when she brought her gift to show them.. they throw it bcz of stress.. once her results where she tried her best to come in top 10.. every time they failed to make her feel family and after her schooling they literally locked her in this house thinking she might do affairs or something.. how that girl would have felt being alone in this house.. he couldn't even stay one hour alone in this house and she stayed years here not complaining about anything.. n when she thought to go away she was so weak that she trusted some stranger who was a fraud.. but what was Swara's fault in that? She never faced any situation single handedly so she failed but what they did.. they pushed her in more darkness.. suddenly he remembered his father's words.." Everyone should have freedom to choose their own mistakes.."  every person learns from their own.. n Swara always learnt from her mistakes but what he did.. he never tried to understand her.. they never gave her freedom to choose anything.. not even clothes.. he stayed there only thinking what can he do to not make her feel more hurt..
