Part 38 Sacred Identities

Arnav was following Khushi completely awestruck. He didn't judge her mind. He didn't expect she could face the situation daringly. She left his hand when they came out. Arnav walked with her parallel. They came to the car. Arnav opened the door for Khushi. Arnav started the car when Khushi buckled herself with the seatbelt. He could not realize what he was feeling right now. Though he was upset with Khushi's parents he was delighted about the way she handled them. He could not believe a parent could be so heartless towards their daughter. How could they throw such disgusting words toward their own daughter? He felt bad for being an orphan many times. But today, he felt glad for not having such unkind parents.

To know her mind, Arnav stole Khushi's glance and noticed her facial reaction. Her face looked like a stone. he could not be silent as he felt to console her.

"I'm sorry for whatever happened, Khushi" he hesitated.

"Please don't be sorry for someone's..."

Cutting her,

"No, Khushi, actually, I don't know how to console you"

"I'm alright" She smiled.

"I mean I don't know whether I can talk about them or not"

"You can talk... not only about them but about anyone and anything. Didn't you ask me to talk like a friend?"

Arnav nodded yes.

"I can't believe how a parent could be so unfair to their own daughter. You know, I always longed to have a family. Do you know what I'm feeling right now? It's better to be an orphan rather than have parents like yours. How could they be not thinking of you, Khushi? Why don't they feel bad seeing your ruined life? how could they even support your in-laws after what they did to you? They got you married to their son hiding the truth of his inefficiency. They threw you out of their house. Still, do your parents want you to obey your in-laws? How could a parent be partial?"

Khushi's answer to his question made Arnav dumbfounded.

"They are not my parents"

"Whaaaaat? Are not Guptas your parents?" The shock was visible on her face.

Khushi nodded yes.

"I didn't get you..."

"He is my father's brother. Our family was a join-family. I lost my mother when I was in the eighth standard and my father passed away when I studied twelfth standard. After my father's demise, they brought Aditya's alliance. They said Aditya's family was a reputed one and I will be its queen."

"Do you think they don't know about Aditya's ability?"

Khushi nodded no.

"I don't think so. They got a massive amount from Aditya's family for making me married to Aditya. I got to know that after my delivery." She said painfully.

"Didn't you ask them anything regarding?"

"What could I ask them? After all, it was their plan to earn money using me as a bait..."

"Because of them, were you hesitating to get married?"

"No... I was not hesitating... I was scared. I don't know how will they fill my husband's ear. I know they will surely pull my reputation down with their uncultured words just like they did a few minutes ago."

"But you paid them back"

"I have to... and the problem has not been solved yet. I'm expecting more from them."
