Aarya's Pov


"What's going on?!" I stumbled back in fear the moment I entered the house. Two men stood in front of my dad, holding a gun to his head.

"Put that gun down! Who are you guys? Right now!" Tears filled my eyes. Out of fear. I was terrified.

"Sweety, why are you here? Go downstairs!" My dad was also clearly terrified.

"Dad, what's going on? Who are these guys?" There were so many questions leaping to my mind. I was just scared to ask.

The guy quickly put his gun on the back of his jeans and came towards me. I didn't move a single bit.

"Hey sis. It's so nice to finally meet you." Wait, sis?

What in the world is this? He looks young. He looks a little like me. Just a little. But brother and sister?

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"I am Ben. I am your elder brother. And we are not here to harm anyone. We are here to take you to your actual home."

What the fuuckk!

"Dad! Why are you not saying anything?!" I ran towards him passing that guy and sat in front of my dad on my knees. "Dad, tell me."

"They are right, Aarya. They are here to take you with them." Tears rolled down , making his cheeks slightly wet.

"I am not going anywhere, dad. I am not leaving you guys." When he didn't answer, I understood that something was off.
"Spit it out, dad."
"What is it?!" I screamed. I just want to know. The whole room was filled with silence. Pin drop silence.

A few moments passed.

"You are not our daughter, sweetheart." And just like that my whole world just shattered. Into a million pieces. "We kidnapped you. And now it's time to let you go." Dad took a deep breath.

And it all went dark. It felt surreal. This can't be real, right? Like, a few hours ago everything was just fine.I mean, I just went shopping three hours ago. And then I saw some unwanted guests in my house and now I just came to know that I am adopted!

This is a joke. It has to be a joke. God, this can't be real. It just can't.

Dad's watery eyes met mine. He placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Please honey, say anything. Anything you want." Tears rolling down my cheeks vigorously.

"So, you are telling me that all these eighteen years of my life was a lie?"

God it hurts. It hurts really bad.

"No, honey we love you. We just….."

"Tell everything. Everything." I didn't let him finish his sentence.

"I suppose they should also be in this conversation." That guy said . "Bring them." He threw his words to one of his guys.

A few moments later, my mom and my sister, Smriti, came into the room.

"Aarya!" I spotted the melancholy in my mother's eyes but I didn't move to hug her.
I was angry with them. So many emotions are running through my body. All at a time. I don't know what I am feeling. It's a feeling of betrayal.

"Tell me!" I can't resist anymore. All these years they just kept me in a dark lie. I was overwhelmed.

"We kidnapped you just after you were born. We took you from the hospital." My dad started after taking a deep breath. "We put a dead baby in place of you. This is Ben Rivera. Your actual brother. Mr. And Mrs. Rivera is your actual parents. We kidnapped you just to take revenge on them."

"That's it. It's enough." Ben took a step towards me. He stood me and held my chin up. "Hey, sis now it's okay. I know it's a lot to digest at once." He took my hand on his. "Take your time. It's fine."

No. It's not fine. Nothing is fine.

I don't even want to know anything else. They kidnapped me. To take revenge. I don't even want to know the reason. 

" I was a baby for Fuck sake!" I turned towards them. And after that I just had nothing to say. I was not in my sense to speak.I fell down on my knees and just broke into tears.

Ben sat down on his knees in front of his knees. And hugged me.

"Shhh. It's fine." My face was pressed against his chest. Sobs were escaping from my mouth. " Now it's up to you dear.  Do you want to go with us? To meet your actual mom and dad?"

"Yes. I want to." And that's all I said before leaving the room."Give me some time. Let me get ready."

I picked some of my favorite dresses and jackets and pants. Two pairs of Sneakers and a set of heels. My MacBook, iPhone and airpods. My journaling diary. Some gifts given by Smriti, mom and dad. For memories.

I changed my clothes and I was leaving only then "Aarya?" I heard my dad. "Can we talk for a second? Please, honey?"

"We have nothing to talk about, Dad.Why did you have to lie to me?" I turned towards him. "You could have told me the truth. I know that it would have hurt me. But at least I wouldn't have to know it from another person. And that too from my brother, Dad."

"I just want you to know that it was never our intention to hurt you.Our love was real for you. Each and every time, dear. We never saw you as an outsider. We have always treated you like our family. We just wanted to protect you sweetheart."

"I know this, Dad. Trust me, I do. It's just that I am hurt and…." I was trying to find the exact word to fill that blank. "And shock. But dad I have to go. I need to meet my actual parents. I will really miss you guys. So much."

And I ran towards him to hug him. And we stayed there like that for about a minute.

"Hey Aarya." It's Smriti. I gave her and my mom a hug too. "We will miss you so much. I can't believe that you are leaving us. But I can't be that selfish too, right?" Tears feeling her eyes. " And one more thing, you will call me everyday. Okay? No excuse."

I pressed my forehead with hers. "No excuse." I repeat her words. "I just wanted you to know that you are the best sister ever. Remember that. Okay? Goodbye."

Don't cry Aarya. Don't cry. Just. Don't. Fucking. Cry. Aarya.

"I will miss you all so much. And I will come to see you guys. I promise. Goodbye." The last thing I don't want to do is cry. I can't cry. I don't want to leave this house with tears in my eyes.

"Hey sis. It's time for us to leave. Come on. Let's go." He took my backpack and went towards the main door.

I hugged my family for the last time and followed Ben's steps. He opened the car door for me. And the Mercedes Benz started moving. I waved my hand to them for the last time. And then only I felt a drop of tear on my cheek. Just a drop.
