He gave me a look filled with longing and stared ahead.

"When I married your mother, I was financially unstable. But we both fell in love. Then we eloped and married somewhere. After that we both stood in front of her parents. First they were reluctant but they were not able to stay angry at her for a long time." His eyes was filled with pain and longing. Maybe he remembered all the good times he had with my mother.

"Everything was good for few months. Then she was working in her father company. Even I had find a stable job then. Everything was good. Then she wanted me to work in her father's company but I wanted to make my own name. When I refused she started getting angry at me for everything. Then I don't know when we fell apart in these fights. It didn't stop there it went on and on. "

"After that she became pregnant. But she didn't wanted the child. I wanted the child. Again we started fighting. Before we both took a decision she went to hospital to get an abortion. But it was too late. We then had to have you. "

"Then you were born. I felt alive again. When I held you in my hand I felt as though I conquered the whole world. I was the happiest man alive that day. We were somehow getting along. " Then he took a deep breath as though to reveal a bitter truth.

"Then she cheated on me with a rich client who came for the collaboration with her company. After that I confronted her. She chose him because of money. And also he had agreed to look after her company. " He wiped the tears which had escaped from his eyes.

"After divorcing her I fought for your custody. But you were young and I was financially not so strong. So she got you. After that I worked hard to build my dream company. But it was not easy to get the money. Everyone refused to give me a loan. So I had to do some illegal work. Then I caught up in a mafia. He didn't had any son so he trained me and I took over it. That's how a new ANIL SHARMA took rebirth. "

"Then I tried coming to get you but she didn't let me near you. "

"I am very sorry that I was not able to take you with me. I am so sorry." He then started crying. I went towards him and hugged him consoling him.

I was thinking about having a father everytime whenever I looked at Hardik, my step father. He would love and care for that Nisha so much, that sometimes I would get jealous. I am happy that atleast one of my parent loves me enough to fight with the world.

After lots of crying and all we both sat next to each other. It felt good to have him.

Then it was Kriti's turn to speak.

"I work along with your father. He helped my father when there was a big lose. That time your father was the only person who helped us. Then he requested me for a favour. He asked me be your friend and keep a close eye on you. At that time I was well versed with hacking. He thought me about fighting and how to use guns. When I came to know about the stalker, I had to act as though I am helping him to save you. But Atharva and your father knew about this."

"But I genuinely like to be your friend. I don't think I can have a best friend except for you." She was trying very hard to control her tears. When I hugged her she started sobbing and apologizing along.

I didn't know how to react to all these revelation. But I am happy that everything they did was for my well being.

At that time I forgave everyone. Including Atharva because he kept quiet knowing all this from the beginning. But he bribed me saying he will buy me all the books from my wishlist. So I forgave him.

After that I went to the place I lived my whole life with my father.

When I reached there my mother and my stepfather both were shocked to see me with him.

"You are horrible human. I hope I won't see your face in my life again. " I said this and was going outside when I remembered something.

"Also keep some money ready because your daughter will be going to jail." I said these and came outside leaving them shocked.

When I sat inside the car I turned towards my father.

"I felt like a badass doing that."

"You looked like one. And you lady no cursing in front of your father. " He tried say it sternly but ended up cracking a smile.

That whole day I spent with him making up for all the lost time. We both enjoyed the day. After that he left me at Atharva's new house.

When I entered Atharva was watching tangled movie. And he was crying when Eugene cut Rapunzel's hair. I secretly took a video of that. And made my presence known.

When he came to know I have returned he wiped his tears fastly not looking at me and came near me.

"Hey how was your day?" He asked as though he was not crying.

"Were you crying?"

"Me and crying. No way. And for what? Do you think I am crying for that movie. Don't be silly." He said and went towards the sofa and sat. I went there and sat beside him.

"I saw you crying you know." I said carefully looking at him.

Then suddenly crying saying even for few seconds he didn't deserve to die. I was consoling him. I don't know if I am marrying a guy or a baby. After his crying session, we both had dinner together and started discussing about our marriage. Only few weeks are left from tomorrow we have to start preparing and also to do some shopping. We were making a plan for tomorrow.

We did many changes in the guest list. We removed everyone from my ex family. Then he had filed a complaint against my stepsister for involving in kidnap and other crimes.

Then we were both tired with all the events and decided to sleep.

"I love you." He said and kissed my forehead.

"Love you." I murmured and fell asleep.

Have a good night guys.
