" So you will punch me?"
"I will if you don't leave me!!"
"Okay, I'll leave you. But you will have to do one thing for me."
"Okay.. what do you want?"
"Be mine!"
As the words slipped my mouth, I felt a slight pain on my left cheek... She slapped me...

"Alisha, My daughter!"
Out of no where Mrs. Singhania called Alisha her daughter. I can see my family was shocked and to be honest I was shocked as well, why won't I be?
"I.. ma'am.. I think you misunderstood something, I'm not your daughter." After a few minutes Alisha said and pulled back her hands from Mrs. Singhania's grip.
"Alisha.. I know you are angry with us b-but please baccha forgive us, and please come back home with us." Mrs. Jaya Singhania said.
"Ma'am I'm telling you I'm not your daughter." Alisha said this time in a loud voice, I can see her body trembling was that fear? No, maybe rage?. "We can have a DNA test and it'll prove whether you are our daughter or not, Alisha Singhania" Yash Singhania said looking at Alisha. Now I know that Alisha is trembling from rage because she shouted "Don't add that after my name Mr. Singhania!!"
"Beta.. I've been living in regret from 10 years. Just forgive us Alisha and please come back. After a week when you left home, we got to know that it was Juhi who did it. *Sob sob* I should have believed you.. I'm the worst mother I know.. but please beta. Please forgive your mother, please!!"
"So.. you got to know that it was Juhi who did it... but still Mr. Singhania didn't throw her out the house!" She took a pause and shouted "All this time I was the one suffering alone while you all were enjoying yourself like a happy family!!"
She clenched her hands and her body started trembling more violently. She was about to fall but I held her from behind. She was trembling and her body was sweating.
"Alisha, are you alright?" I asked her but got no response from her. I looked at her face to find her unconscious. Suddenly Aunt came towards us and shouted
"Nish, call Dr. Mehra and ask him to come fast. Keyan take her to the room."
I nodded and picked her up in my arms. I glared at Mr. Singhania who was standing in front of me and said
"Move to the side, Mr. Singhania!!"
"Keyan.."
"I said MOVE!!"
He didn't say anything after that and moved to the other side. I almost ran upstairs with Alisha in my arms. I laid her on the bed and soon after the other people followed. Mom asked a worker to bring a cloth and some water. She was still trembling. Aunt sat on the bed and put Alisha's head in her lap. She started stroking her head and said
"Alisha, Everything will be alright. Calm down bacche."
The worker brought a cloth and water as Mom instructed. Mom wet the cloth and start wiping Alisha's face from it. Mom has always been kind hearted and tries to help others, I can understand why she is so worried about Alisha but.. why is Aunt acting that way?
