Born to Love You

19- New Journey

Aru's Pov:

What should I do now? I'm embarrassed to tell them that I don't know how to cook. Should I just tell Disha or give myself a try while taking it as a challenge to make the family members happy?

"We don't have time for this Disha. And she doesn't have to cook for anyone, I don't believe in these rituals. Aradhya is going out with me now. Excuse us" Aryan says sternly while I could catch a glimpse of disappointment in Disha's face and he drags me out while catching my hand, I try to plaster a forced smile infront of the family members but I was trying to let his hold go off my hand. Why does he have to embarrass like this!

"Where are you taking me sir?!" I ask once we reach near the car but my questions only went in vain as he threw me in the passenger seat while he sat in the driver seat and drove the car away. I rolled my eyes at him.

He took me to a familiar place.

Home.

Tears slip out of my face and emotions were overflowing out of me. I look at him and he was watching straight with an emotionless face

I got out of the car and proceeded to ring the bell.

Mom opened it. For a glimpse her expression was soft yet it felt like she couldn't recognise me in this new attire, it stayed until she asked "Who's this?" Which broke my heart into pieces

"Maa.." I break down hugging her but she didn't hug me back

Aryan stood next to me as I could hear his footsteps stop. "Aunty, we're here for your blessings. Bless your daughter and me for a long-lasting happy married life" he continues speaking as he smirks at me and he bends down to touch mom's feet for the blessings and I follow his gestures.

"I don't have a daughter but I wish you a happy married life son, God bless you" mom says while I could notice a little shudder in her voice. She invited Aryan to come inside but he resisted saying he needs to go for work now while she just nods her head

"Don't come to my home again" she says looking at me closing the door while I broke down in tears

In the meanwhile I was hugged by someone from behind. As I turned to see who had embraced me, I was met with the familiar warmth of my sister's hug. Her words, "I miss you, Aru" melted my heart, and we both found solace in each other's presence. However, our moment was cut short by the urgent cough of the looming figure before us, none other than my fake husband, reminding us of the pressing need to depart swiftly.

We broke the hug and I decided to get in the car with my swollen face before he lashes out on me infront of my sister

"Don't show that fucking face infront of my family" he said while cursing under his breath. Unbelievable human.

We reached his home. I was greeted by little Ishaan and he wanted me to lift him up while Mr Aryan Adani rolled his eyes at us. As I lift him up and placed a kiss on his cheek, Aryan interrupted us saying "Pack all the shit you need from the room in 10 minutes and get down" WHAT? What now.

"What? Why?" I ask him

"Just do as I say before opening that filthy mouth of yours" he spat on my face. Why is he so arrogant!

I proceeded to let Ishaan get down but he didn't want to but I also needed to pack the clothes that Disha gave me as I've nothing with me now. I've to call Aditi to send my stuff as I'm not allowed to enter the home. Aryan saw that and sternly said Ishaan to get down off me but he started crying.

"I don't expect you to be nice to people of your age but can you be little gentle on kids!" I almost yelled at him while placing a kiss on Ishaan's forehead consoling him
