Inks and innings

Chapter 1

Hello pals, I am Divya Paranjape ,one of the top journalists in India and currently am trying to escape my bhai's "lets get Divya back home plan".
I am only 28,.I am single and so not ready to mingle!!!i love my life and my small little circle with my brother,best friend and my babies.only my older brother knows about my past and he safekeeps it and protects me from my dad .My elder brother, Aryan bhai has been the solid rock he is and played a major role in my life.
I was 10 when my parents got divorced,my dad cheated on my mom,my mom found this out and immediately left that house with me and bhai.We were stuck in major financial crisis but my mom started from the scratch and build  ArDiya  designs,she took it to great heights and became the best in business,after bhai completed his education he started as an intern at ArDiya and now after 8 years he is the CEO of ArDiya,but unfortunately when i was in my final year my world shattered into a million pieces ,my mom was detected by stage 3 cancer she lost her life very soon,i was shattered i even went into depression becz when this was happening he left me and i was never the same
After my moms death bhai and my dad took us with him to his house,bhai was busy and busy as he was never home but my stepmom used to torture me and look me into a room,i could never complain to bhai as i was afraid of loosing him,this lead me into having anxiety and panic attacks ,but once bhai came home early and saw this,he was sooo furious that he stormed out of the house and we both stayed at our old home which my mom made with her sweat  and tears.Bhai is still angry on dad for that. My bhabi eka my bestie Esha is extremely supportive and helped me with my break downs she is the best psychologists.When we shifted in my mom's house Esha kept on visiting us and helped us getting over our moms death,depression ,sudden responsibilities etc eventually bhai and esha got closer and they soon realised that they were in love.So without wasting any time i got them married!!i of course couldn't wait for my bestie to have actual relations with me.....
However I am the unluckiest when it comes to love hence I never let anyone see the real Divya .so i put up  masks and cold attitude.Only bhai and esha know my truth behind my happy mask.After a year and half my bhai got married i moved out of that house as i wanted to be independent and take responsibilities.
I hate visiting my father  but still show up as I love Chaavi,chavi is my dad's daughter but surprisingly when her mother was torturing me she helped me gave me food and became my friend,but her mother hates me
Shaking me off thoughts Esha  called me
"Div , dad  had called and he called us at his house  " which made get up in jerk and alarmed my mind to leave this place immediately
"And that's my que I'll take you leave guys I need to run as i have my  work and yes sha (nickname for easha ) I am not coming back today I'll go to my house as peaches and Dora(my golden retrievers)are  alone"I excused myself from the conversation.
But before i could do that bhai held my wrist and said
"We know dia you hate it there and it breaks my heart just by the thought of asking y to go there,he(dad) was pleading and he is truly apologetic for his wife,he just asked us to drop by for an hour ,he has some news it seems,pls for us"
"Bhai if y are coming with me i can go" i said but i immediately left without waiting for their response
Leaving the mansion I rushed home to meet my babies,after I checked everything was fine I left for work.
Today I was going to report about the tsunami that just hit odisha, I was researching and reconfirming all the stats given by my team.
After finishing everything we got onair ,after a good 3 hour report we went ofAir and I left for home.
It was already 12 at night.
But sleep was far far away from me, just my past flashed in front of me.
Nightmares have been extremely common for me ,especially after my moms death.
I prominently remember how  bhai and esha could come to my room after listening to my screams ,it was a lot more back then but with esha's constant help and bhai's moral support which was possible,i am not fully perfect but yes i have been a lot better.
So after shifting to my house I Brought home my bundle of joy , my babies.

In the morning
After overthinking and crying I finally got some sleep,after doing my chores I got ready, prepared my breakfast and lunch and immediately left for work.
Today was one of those days when I had a 10-6 shift orelse I needed to operate at any time.
After entering my cabin I immediately played some music and started reading the articles my assistant emailed me. She is good but still an intern so I need to cross check it.
After approving Everything we wrapped Everything and my dad called me. She ordered me to immediately come holo.I immediately called Esha. She told me she was also going there. I told her to wait so that I could pick her up.

Time skip in the car
"So how was yr day iya??"esha asked smiling As brightly as she does
"It was good ya,same old same new" I said
"Iya for once you had a human shift and you are complaining?Aryan was relieved that you will be safe and sound at home" Esha said
"esho I love my job especially the irregular shifts, bhai is just worried for me dw i can fight my wars" i replied
"I know iya but he is worried come home sometimes u know we love you" she said getting somewhat emotional
"Esho I was at yr place just yesterday" I told her in a done tone
"Iya you know what I meant yes I did know she means, they wanted me to stay with them for some days but I dodge that.
"Esho you guys are a couple, I don't want to third wheel you guys,after all I do need a promotion don't I"i said  smirking at the last part
"Divya!!!!" And she blushed Hard
I know i have hit the right spot
After we reached my dads house we saw 2-3 cars Moving out of the mansion which was not at all uncommon.
My father did have a lot of contacts so people came to meet him.
After entering the house my father greeted us, after My parents Divorce he was not really involved so we don't have any emotional connect.with each other however after my mother's death he has been around but bhai never let him meet me nor did he invite him for his Wedding.
"Welcome beta"my father said happily Smiling at us
"Namaste papa" me and esha said together
"I am glad you came to Beta, so do you want to have something?tea or Coffee" He offered us
"I actually have to report back immediately so I can't,can you just tell us why you invited us here" i said which earned me a glare from esha and my Kavita (my fathers wife )
"Yes, beta chavi is getting married" he announced
"What,when,why,how" just came out of my mouth as a matter of shock
"Don't you Get jealous Of my daughter Kavita shouted from the other side
I was anything but jealous,anyway I was not going to waste my energy there.
"OK,do we need to attend it?" I asked my father with an annoyed face
"yes " my father was cut off by kavita
"Just showup for the wedding, for the sake of relatives"and she made a disgusted Face
"Ok" I said and pulled Esha out of that house.
The wedding was planned in the next week,what was the hurry I wondered.
I wonder who the  groom is
