Next day

Everything happened so fast... reaching their neighborhood... everyone was shocked seeing the bride alone. One person is enough to spread news to whole world and that's exactly what happened in their neighborhood

The uncle's were minding their own business while the aunty's were giving her looks and gossiping with others and she could hear it a bit as well

"The groom ran away... can you believe that... it's usually the bride"

Her insecurity kept on increasing, she just wanted to run to her room and burst into tears... but she couldn't... she has never cried in front of anyone and here... the whole neighborhood was watching her

Entering the house, they all were silent... of course they were disappointed... but they was nothing they could do about it.

"Mom I'm hungry"

Everyone was happy seeing her behave all normal, while only she knew that she was holding a storm inside her

"You just ate now 2 ice-creams"

"Ma it's ice-cream... it's like milk... goes down very quickly"

"Ya cause it's a roller coaster"

"Ma!... I'm hungry"

Normally their dad would have stopped them by now... but instead he smiled... along with his wife

"Ma... give some food to this daddy pig"

"ISHAAN!" Y/n chased him as he ran around the living room before going upstairs... she was still chasing when all of a sudden... she stopped

"How are you so fake?"

A voice in her asked her

Changing her way and entering her room, she was about to close the door... when suddenly her brother opened it and entered

Sitting on the bed, he patted the place beside him asking her to sit as well... and as soon as she did... he put his arm around her shoulder

"Listen... he's the actual blind one"

"He ran away... so what? People will say whatever they want... it's their main job and their salary will be given nicely by god... Your job is to either ignore them or prove them wrong"

"And we don't want the second option dear"

"If he ran away... it's his loss... he lost a gem... and that too a pure one"

"I don't have to be fake in front of them... and that's enough"

She answered back inside her head

"Since birth I've never said such sweet words to anyone... so be grateful that I'm your brother"

Tears welled up in her eyes... not being able to control it... she hugged him

"I am"

"I know"

Pulling away from the hug... she gave him a blank stare

"I'm leaving... sleep now... no need to eat... you ate a lot today... if you eat more... then tomorrow morning, you won't feel well"

Y/n nodded

As soon as he left, she sighed

His words did give her comfort but... her insecurity was at the peak and it wasn't going to fall down just like that


Wiping her tears, she stood up to take a shower
