twist of fate

rhea's pain

In rhea's room..

The room which always looks neat .. was upside down.. A girl was seen hugging her huge red teddy and muttering " you said you loved me"... Her toes curled up and her face became dry in weakness and dehydration .. But she was so hurt to notice her state... Just then the door turned open bringing light to the dark room... It was meera..
Even though rhea was not her biological daughter , she loves her lot like her own... She can understand her but she couldn't stop her as alia didn't let her to.. She couldn't see her daughter suffering, eventhough she knew she deserves it as she is the one who hurted pragya a lot with her words but the words not only broke pragya but her too...

Meera: rhea, why are you in dark baby!! Come on and get ready.. .Your father's and my wedding invitations have been done and come lets look at it..

She tried to cheer her up.. As she was happy about the wedding and she wanted them to get married a day after tomorrow...

Rhea: wedding?? (confused)

Meera was shocked seeing her state.. She is in so much of pain that she forgot what she said yesterday...

Meera: rhea, you wanted your father to marry me right?? that's what iam talking about... (worried and confused )

Rhea: what? No... I just said it in anger.. It was not easy to think and speak last night... I did whatever biji told me...

Rhea almost freaked out...

Meera: (she was really happy hearing those words) Are you joking? Then iam telling you that this is not a good joke.. (laughing)

Rhea : No.. Your are getting me wrong...

The pain of losing her mom engulfed her.. If this marraige happens she will also loose her dad..

Meera : No rhea. Iam getting it right.. This must be a joke... You are an adult. A grown up girl.. You can't tell things just like that..

Meera uttered it with a stern face..

Rhea : aunty, why don't you understand? Iam hurt...

Tears started to roll down again.. She nodded her head negatively...

Meera: if you are hurt its not that you can hurt us too. Whatever you said is going to happen day after tomorrow..(ordered)

Rhea : No.. I know you love me.. But you can't replace my mother's place in my father's heart.. I know his feelings and that's why i didn't force him to get married when the entire society did.

rhea was literally begging meera to stop the marriage.. Seeing her state meera couldn't continue her act.. But she had to do it.. So gathered up courage to hurt her daughter.

Meera: but whatever your father agreed for this marriage and your mother have no objections with it and we are getting married...

She said it with finality, so that rhea wouldn't question her anymore..

Rhea : what?? She is happy about this wedding??? How could this happen?

Rhea, who was questioning till now froze hearing the words left from meera's mouth.. Meera felt too bad.. But she have promised Mr. Mehra, so she had to act..

Meera: I don't know.. Come down for breakfast.. (ordered)
Meera left..

Rhea was shattered with this news.. Meera always did what rhea wants but today she didn't even bother about what rhea wants or how she feels.. She hates if someone orders her.. But meera did that...

In the breakfast table,

Rhea sat on the table lifeless. Which was noticed by everyone in the table but none dared to question..

Alia : what happened baby? You must be happy now, as you are getting your new mom.
( her tone was like honey )

But this was like pouring fuel to fire for rhea..

Rhea: mom is not a toy to get a new one.. How will you understand about mother's love when you don't have one...

Alia was shocked hearing the words... She was never been told that she don't have her mom's love as her brother and dadi always protected her from those peoples...

Rhea : What do you think? Only you could tell me that i don't have my mom's love.. Atleast i have a mother and experienced her love atleast for sometime and had some moments with her.. But you, didn't even remember her face.. How will you feel when i tell you that your mom left you with your brother just because she hated you and didn't want to have a daughter like you...

The whole family didn't dare to move a muscle as the cold words left from rhea's mouth...

Meera : iam so sorry for rhea's behavior ... Rhea is like this from yesterday.. She is angry sometimes and some times she is crying and sometimes she is very quiet... Why are so complicated for us to understand rhea?

Meera was literally shaking rhea for answers...

Rhea kept silent as she came to sense that she is hurting everyone there... She didn't want to hurt anyone..

Aliya : how dare you use this words against me rhea??

Meera: aliya, she is hurt... So please..she is a kid.. (apologised)

Alia: kid... Oh.. For your kind information she is 21 now.. So she is not a kid anymore... And don't you dare speak against me.. Even though you are going to become daughter in law in this house, you should know your limits.. (barked )

Rhea didn't want to keep silent anymore.. She felt that what ever she said to her buji was not wrong indeed she deserved it...

Rhea : whatever! Iam going to get back to mom so iam leaving...

Aliya : WHAT?? have you gone mad?Yesterday, you threw her out of the house and today you are going to her house... (furiously)

Rhea : its none of your business.. Its my family matter stay out of it...
It sounded like a warning ..

And she left...

In some time she was is infront of pragya's house..

Rhea : after i said all those to her.. Mom will be heartbroken... How will i heal it?

With these thoughts in mind she rang the door bell..

Immediately the door opened, but she didn't see her mom instead she saw her sister..

Prachi : how dare you? Just leave from here!!

Prachi was mad as hell..

These are the words she Heard and the door closed with a force and her nose was broken as the door hit right on face which made her red nose to turn it even deeper as it started to bleed..
