Vikram POV

(A few days back)

Diya

How did I not notice how cute she was or how responsible she is or how independent she is ??

You silly man, you never noticed her speciality before because you were too busy being jealous of her

Jealous of how sweet, cute and great she was that she stole away my share of attention and love from my father

I was so wrong in my theories because if someone loves you to the core, they would have divided the love, affection and attention equally but he didnt. When I confronted him he played a blame game that I was an insecure person and too emotional when he was the one who made me insecure.

I never understood why he loves me less while why he loves her more

I never understood that he had his own insecure reasons on why he stopped loving/ caring for me, now that I know the reason I feel very stupid and foolish to have blamed Diya the most part of my life when the fault lie in my past and my dad.

It was not my fault 

It was not her fault

It is my fault because I pinned all the wrong things happening to me on her but boy, I was wrong. I blamed her for the wrong reasons and I kept her away from me for all the right reasons at that point of me.

So, as I was saying, just living with Diya is opening me up. All my insecurities and inhabitations have washed away because of her magic. The magic of her sensitivity, thoughtfulness, beauty and innocence.

When she suggested that we register our marraige as quickly as possible so that she can adopt Zyru my heart swept off with pride and so much love for her gesture. I was so grateful for Diya and I was proud that I could finally give Zyra her mother.

I found a mother for my Zyra

I was going to get married to a caring, loving and thoughtful woman who was gorgeous too

I feel so blessed when I sit near the kitchen island and see my 2 precious girls. Zyra was perched on Diya's hip, looking at her with lots of love when Diya was feeding her cut fruit pieces. The funny thing was that, Diya hates fruits, she makes funny faces when she eats them, so now because of my daughter, she is eating them. Zyra, would not eat them just like that, she is a diva, so Diya had to show that she eats it like a good girl, that is when Zyra started eating it too because she wanted to imitate and impress Diya. Right now Diya is Zyra's everything, she even ignores me sometimes with a swag. I see that Zyra finished her fruits and Diya showered her with appreciative cuddles when Zyra rested herself on Diya's chest, nestling her face in Diya's neck.Suddenly, I felt a strange desire popping in to my heart. I wanted to be in Zyru's place, I wanted to hug Diya, I wanted to rest my face near her heart and hear all her thoughts. I shrugged off that thought and continued with the breakfast. 

I remembered all the times we 3 spent some time together and realized since the time the marraige has been fixed my heart is filled with hope. When she was gone for a week to pack up her things, this house looked empty. Me and Zyra, both clinged on to each other because we missed her. Zyra got the opportunity to cling on to her when she came in, she hugged Diya, dint leave her the whole day and showered her with kisses all the time. While all I have got to say to her was "I hope you had a good travel", and "I think you might be tired, I will hold Zyra, go rest", while all I wanted to do was hug her and spend the whole day with her.

Isnt Marraige a weird thing, until my dad fixed this thing, I always kept Zyra away from me, I build a wall and let it grow, but now its different. I see her as my wife, because we are lawfully wedded a few days ago, and we even celebrated it by offering food to the homeless. It was all Diya's idea and when they blessed us I know it was worth it.

When the decorations begun for our private wedding in the basement for this week, I realized that its time when I tell her everything about me and ask for a chance to prove myself as a worthy partner to her. I no longer wanted to be struck in my own silly world, I wanted to be with her and have a family. I was dreaming about a happily ever after but whenever I thought to speak to her I never got a chance or you can say, I did not get the guts to go tell her how I feel because whenever I spoke with her, I was mean. Being mean came easy, while confessing my brewing feelings were tough, on top of it she was busy with her college applications, unboxing her stuff and taking care of Zyra.

I was waiting for the right time and when it comes I will tell her everything ......

Now

I woke up early to finish my work out in my home gym before Zyra wakes up, me and Diya kind of have this unsaid agreement that we will both wake up Zyra at the same time. I showered and went into Zyra's room but I dint find Diya on the way, she normally has her breakfast at this time but she isnt here. Isnt she back from the walk ?? I walked to Diya's room and found it empty. I thought that may be she is still walking but a strange fear pulled inside of me. She is very punctual with her time, she is never ignorant/lazy when it is about Zyra. I went outside only to see that Diya has fainted and her clothes were muddy, wet and she has a bloody toe and head had a nasty scar.

I immediatly rushed her to the hospital and she was taken in for the exam. How long was she out there ?? Did someone hurt her ?? What if her family did something ??Is her family behind this, if it is then I am going to kill them with my bare hands.

I still remember how lifeless she felt in my arms, her clothes clung to her body, they were semi wet, it was her last night clothes, was she out in the cold, the whole night ??

Oh god please save her

Guilt creeped up inside me that I was not able to save her, how did I not know she was out there ??

What will I tell Zyra ??

I have informed Aunty about this and she stayed home with Zyra, consoling her about the absence of both her parents.

I waited outside the room for any news about my wife

Diya please be okay
