TWIST OF FATE

Chapter 1: THE BEGINNING

In the evening at Mumbai,

AKSHARA! AKSHARA MAAM! AKSHARA JI! MISS AKSHARA!

As camera's were flashing and several reporter's were calling her name and asking her several questions,Akshara quickly made her way to her new bugatti car while her bodyguards were stopping the paparazzi from going any further.

This is really annoying. Akshara has just finished recording her new song and went to meet her college friend at her office. She is the CEO of her father's company.They were best friends in college and haven't talked in a very long time. Just as she was about to leave,the paparazzi's was already there.

She quickly managed to get in the car and closed the door.She then shifted her gaze towards the driver and said "Driver, Singhania sadan chalo."

The driver nodded and started driving followed by another black car where her bodyguards were at. They quickly left the place.

After leaving the place and seeing no paparazzi following them, Akshara's let out a huge sigh of relief. She rest's her head on the car's seat and closed her eyes.

She was about to go home when her bua/mami Kirti called her and requested Akshara to come over to their house for dinner. She also told Akshara that they wanted to discuss something important to her but she already knows what that is.

They wanted to talk to her about her marriage. They wanted her to remarry. Yesterday, her only friend who was single had married her groom. Ever since her friend announced her marriage, Akshara's family has been pressuring her none-stop.

But to be honest, she couldn't blame them. Almost all the girls of her age had either been already married or already had their first child. She understands their concern for her but she also wished they understood her as well. She's happy the way she is.

Thinking about her family,she's got a flashback of today's morning. She remembers the argument that took place between her and her grand father Manish Goenka.

"Bade papa,Please!!! For heaven's sake,I don't wanna talk about this. You already know my answer so stop wasting both yours and my time. We're both very busy people."

"Beta,I know that you're very happy but for how long will you stay like this:alone with nobody by your side. And I don't know how long I will live.Please beta,marriage is not a sin."

Akshara chuckled and said " You're right. Marriage is not a sin. It's a fancy word for either adopting an overgrown male child who can't be handled by his parents or kick your freedom out of your life for no reason and becomes a servant at your sasural."

"Akshu,please. Stop joking around and become serious for God's sake."Manish said irritated at his grand daughter for not taking his words seriously.

" Oh I'm sorry for being honest with you." Akshara said in full sarcasm and the next thing they knew,they got into a nasty argument.

Thinking back at it, she felt guilty. She lost her tempar and said some pretty hurt words to her grandfather but she couldn't help it.

She's not the same Akshara she was 4 years ago. She changed. The old version of herself was a weak, naive and a emotional cry- baby. But this version of herself is the exact opposite.

Now She's a fierce, smart and a strong independent woman. She always fights back and doesn't let anyone emotionally blackmail her anymore like her stepsister Aarohi used to do with her.

She doesn't let any harsh words hurt her at all. She also has a bad temper now and it's all because of them, The BIRLA'S.

Because of them, she had lost the only precious thing in her life, her babies. She had a miscarriage because of them and they blamed her of it.

Remembering what happens 4 years ago, she clenched her fist. She has always helped them and cared for them like her own family. Her first priority was always them. Heck! She was even ready to give up her singing career to raise her babies and become the ideal Birla bahu.

And yet her mother-in-law threw her out of the house like garbage  despite knowing she was pregnant and her husband sided with his mother and blamed her for the death of her brother-in-law Neil Birla.

Neil Birla was her husband Abhimanyu's half brother her evil stepsister's husband. He was like a brother to her and she mourned the loss of her brother just like them except she didn't blame anyone.

Thinking about the loss of her brother and her unborn children, she tried not to cry. That event has left a rotten wound on her heart which hasn't been healed yet.

"Ma'am, Hum agaye hay." The driver politely said snapping her out of her thoughts.

Akshara looked outside the window and see's the Singhania mansion and right behind the her car was her bodyguards car.

Akshara looked over to the driver and said " bhai ji, Aap please bodyguards ko bol dina ki AG Mamsion chali jate." There's already a tight security here and she doubts that the paparazzi will break in.

" Okay ma'am. " The driver nodded. Akshara then get out of the car and walked towards the main door.

Akshara mentally prepares herself not to get angry. She was going to say no but than when her aunt said that she has prepared her favourite dishes, She immediately said yes despite knowing the outcome.

Heck NOO! There was no way she was gonna waste such a good food. Her Mami or rather Kirti Bua makes the best dishes.
