I am living my life peacefully. So, peacefully that practically people would envy me and not gonna lie they really are. I have a beautiful life!

Song playing: "Thousand years..."

"I have died everyday waiting for you darling don't be afraid , I have loved you for a thousand years , I love you for a thousand more.....!"

I am, no sorry I was a FBI agent. I resigned very soon from that service, took whatever money they gave me for resigning at an early age and bought a holiday house other than the one I had on the city side. This particular one was on the countryside, my mind became fresh when I had first came to see the plot of land here, it was peaceful which I needed after that chaotic part of my life and started to come often with my parents and relatives here to dine and have fun by forgetting about the outside world. I am not married and have a brother supporting me and my views and above all our family.

If you are thinking about the song playing in my house, well, my brother has a girlfriend now , so being lovesick is another job he has assigned to himself other than his job and plays this particular "Thousand years" often.

A certain incident during my job tenure ,led me to take the decision to leave my job this very soon.

Let's concentrate on my life and its beauty . I know my past affects me a lot , but I deal a life now filled with wonderful pure energy around me. My family is the one I live for and will continue to do so. " Lavanya!" brother is calling me now and he is my older brother so, despite his strictness I have to adhere to him and a sister with currently no job has to adhere to a person feeding the family.

Father had some money while leaving our home country and he has done a fixed deposit under my name, as a gift of no worries.

Now I am going to my brother. " Hey" .

"Lavanya , where have you been ?" He has started again his parenting on me.

"Adarsh , I am not a kid you know and I do not have to tell you always where I am and have been."

"I am just asking you a simple question ,Why are you complicating?"

"I am sorry."

"See, this was so simple rather than counter questioning me , you know I worry for you and it freaks me out for what had happened to you earlier and I can't lose you never ever ."

"I am sorry ,so sorry I will tell you everytime I mean it ."

He comes over to me and hugs me and whispers in my ears, " I just want you to be safe and that is all that matters." Also, he says loudly, " Now get ready for the party tonight we have to go to your aunt's place."

"Oh, yeah I remember , okay, let me go and get ready ."

"Yes." He smiles.

I walked myself to room and sat down thinking what to wear , this is not a simple Indian function that you will wear some dazzling dress and impress people , this party will contain many important people who will judge and will make comments in front of and back of your faces to make you feel like they have put you in your place. Even though it is a birthday party but since my aunt is an influential person , she loves to call influential people to her own resort , sometimes just to show off and in the other times , just to make more and more connections and make her footing strong in the society , she knows my condition and even though she puts on a show of how much she loves me but under that mask of kindness I know how much she judges me by my wealth and my net worth. Nevertheless, I am not the one to back off so easily even if she judges me ferociously, I don't care and I will show my worth when needed and not uselessly show it off.

So, after rummaging my closet for like one hour I found an appropriate dress to wear and decided to adorn myself with some light makeup and jewels to match the mood of the party and the people but to mention, I am strictly not a people pleaser but here I am going to show who I am as a person and as an individual.

A pretty sharp tongued individual is who I am and they will get to know it if they mess with me .

My brother and me are the ones who are going to attend that so-called party and make our presences felt.
