I Promise : Echoes Of Suffering

Chapter- 8

"Friendship is like a paper. It will never be the same once crumbled."

• Siya's POV •

We were silent throughout our journey. No one talked, I was just looking out of the window.. How's everyone gonna react to my presence?
I don't know when did he came. Did Asha maa told? How did he react hearing me pregnant?.. obviously he would be happy. It's his child anyway.
My hands wrapped around my lower stomach. There's a baby now, which upon I don't have any rights.
Why I have to loose something to gain another? It happens always. Then too I did mistake by choosing the wrong one.. which resulted me to loose everything..everything I had.

Now also I am not doing any mistake right? My thoughts were haulted by the horn. I turned to see Arjun looking at me.. The car was not moving. I looked outside to see we have reached. He got down the car, And opened my side door to get down. I stepped down and opened the back door to take my luggage. But he stopped me.. "What are you doing? Let it be." He said and took my luggage himself.

"Now onwards.. no lifting heavy things." He grabbed my wrist and guided me towards the mansion.

It's been 4 years since I looked back towards this house.
It looked the same, but the people inside it won't be same anymore. I felt tears blurring my vision. We were at the doorstep when Arjun's phone rang. He looked at me and said to go inside and left from there to attend the call.

I looked at his retreating figure and more fear indulged me. I am still standing at the footstep not knowing what to do. Will they shout at me? How will I handle their hatred.
I was standing there looking inside clueless ly fidgeting with my fingers.

Hearing someone's footstep I looked up. Vasuda aunty.
Her steps halted seeing me standing here. She was looking same, simple and elegant like before but the emotions in her eyes for me has changed.very drastically.

She kept looking at me. Does she knows about me?

•AUTHOR'S POV •

Arjun came back and saw her still standing there. He frowned at that "Can't you hear what I said? I asked you to go inside." He shouted lightly.

Siya flinched hearing him. Arjun was looking at her acting weirdly..
"Arjun" He heard Vasuda's voice. Vasuda was startled to see Siya at the doorstep. She was here after years.. this Siya was not the one she had seen years ago. She looked scared and helpless.. she heard arjun scolding her and realised that she is hesitating to come inside.

"Andar leke Aau, taki hui lagthi he" Vasuda said. Arjun nodded and held Siya wrist getting inside. Siya stepped in and saw her surrounding.. She saw Vasuda looking at her, Siya lowered her eyes.

(Get her inside, she looks tired!)

"Come, I will show you your room." Arjun said and walked ahead with siya trailing behind. She once glanced at Arjun's room while going.. she had many moments hidden in that room.

"You are the best daughter anyone could ask for!"

"You will not be the daughter-in-law of this house! You will be the loveliest daughter here like your friend!"

Siya wiped the tears that were streaming down. She couldn't stop her brain from over thinking after she saw Vasuda again. She is feeling like she doesn't deserve to be here... She looked at the butter can which Asha gave her. She dipped her finger and licked butter of it.. she had finished half of it. She never liked this but her cravings got best of her.
Since she came into the room she is crying continously while eating butter.

She got up and took her bag.. she kept searching inside it to find something. She took out a photo frame, caressing it with her hands. She kept it close to her heart. Her cheeks turned red by crying continuously.. She don't have any hope that all will be alright again like before. Nothing will be the same.
Her stupid decision shattered everything.. and everyone.

She was told to stay relaxed and not think of anything but here she is getting more stressed in this new also not so new environment and people...

She was startled by the doorknob clicking sound. She wiped her face and kept everything she had taken out inside the bag and zipped it hurriedly.
Arjun had freshen up and changed into track pant and a t-shirt.. A maid came and informed him that Vasuda is calling for breakfast. Then only he remembered that Siya has not eaten anything. He walked towards her room and without knocking he turned the door and saw her doing something. He noticed her puffed eyes and red face but he didn't care.

"Come down and eat something." He said in his usual cold tone. But Siya shook her head saying no...

Arjun rolled his eyes at her. "Don't show your tantrums here, this is not your house to do as you say! Come." He said.

"I don't want to have anything.. I will eat later." Siya said getting irritated. Suddenly she had no appetite to eat.. few minutes before only she was hungry.
He looked at her disbelieved. She was acting crazy. He don't want to shout at her too.. he rubbed his forehead and his eyes fell on the butter can kept on bed. He grabbed it and saw it empty.. he frowned.

"No matter you feel like or not.. you have to eat, there's a baby inside you so only the things will be done which is best for the baby, not you.."

She will be lying if she said that she didn't get hurt by his words. It hurted a little..
He forcefully got her downstairs and made her sit in the dinning table. Vasuda was also present their, she didn't dare to look up at her and kept her eyes down.
The dishes were already placed on the table. The maids served her, Siya was feeling like pucking out all out but scared of arjun she ate a little and refused to eat more.

Siya got up from there washing her hands she walked litrary ran towards her room. She was feeling so uncomfortable... before she could reach her room she heard a voice which filled dread in her.
